Chapter 18

Shailene's POV

It's been four days since that nerve-wrecking Sunday and after that day, I rarely see Theo. We are busy with our own schedule, but somehow we try to find time to text or sometimes call each other. He'd ask me about my day and I'd ask how his training went. He said that it sucks that he cannot train with me because if he trained with me, he would get an excuse to be close to me, at the other side I was relieved that we were separated so that I could keep myself at a distance from him. It is because he's just too hot and I'm afraid I won't be able to concentrate for my training if I train with him.

It is no surprise for me to hear Theo becomes the trainer. He is bossy, can be intimidating and scary if he wants to (I have the experience at the rooftop garden), and also he has an excellent fighting skill. So why not?

The last four days of mine was filled with training, reading and learning the script, working out at the gym, and many more. Theo says that his schedule is the same as mine, too bad the time is different. Speaking of him, the last time I see him was on Monday.

- Flashback -

Monday evening, my mom and Tanner came over to see how I am doing and adapting at my new apartment. When they came, they just walked straight to the kitchen, I expected they would give me hug or kiss first but not. Mom put the food on the island, take-out from Chinese I guessed, while Tanner taking out Coca Cola from my fridge. Tanner took the chopsticks given by Mom then grab a seat on my sofa across of me. Mom sat beside me. After Mom took the first bite, she began speaking and Mom as usual started to interrogate me with the first question was about how my filming went. I told her that I had fun with the crews and other casts. She asked again and I responded to each question. And then, Mom asked me who lives on the same floor with me. Oh shit.

I quickly chose to say that my neighbour is a he, but unfortunately that was a wrong decision. My mom went beyond excited and pushed me to tell her more, she was exactly like a fangirl asking for more pictures of her otp. My eyes connected with Tanner's and I signaled to him to help me but unfortunately he was enjoying this. He hid his cocky grin and continued eating.

Traitor. I hope he will have a stomachache.

I was freaking out. My brain worked hard for a solution and suddenly my phone chirped.

Saved by my phone.

I grabbed my phone and went to my room, leaving my excited-Mom and a-traitor-named-Tanner in the living room.

I put my phone to my ear and before I said hello, the caller already talking. "Hello, Friend. Can I come over?"

I hadn't even responded to him but he already knocked my door. I was paralyzed, my brain suddenly blanked as I heard someone opened the door.

"OH MY GOD! IT IS YOU, THEO!"

Someone. Kill. Me.

I heard a loud kissing sound, typically my mom. She makes it a habbit to kiss everyone's cheek when she greets someone. Not me. I prefer to hug. I stiffled my groan and went outside my room before my mom started to interrogate him as well. I met the sight of Theo wiping the residue of Mom's lipstick on his cheek. I almost laughed at him but I was still too mad at him.
