When We Realize (A Sheo Fanfic)

Chapter Seventeen

*Shailene’s POV*

After my shower I get dressed in high waisted shorts, navy blue vans, and a flowy white shirt with a black bra underneath. I really need to find a thrift shop around here somewhere. I am running out of clothes. I prefer to only shop at thrift stores because I don’t like to encourage high retailer stores. Why would I buy expensive new clothes when I can buy comfortable used clothes and help save the environment in even the littlest ways?

Theo hasn’t come over yet, so I make myself some tea, and call my grandmother as I scroll through some inspiring blogs on my laptop. My immediate family knows about us now, because I don’t like to keep things from them. They already know who he is, and they trust me enough to make the right decision regarding him and the movies. They actually want to meet him as my official boyfriend soon, not just my costar. 

I reply to a few business emails and answer my manager when she reminds me that I have a photo shoot tonight. I am looking through my refrigerator for something to eat, still on the phone with my grandma, when I hear a beeping noise. I pull my phone back to look at it. Theo is calling.

“Hey gram? I’m getting a call, so I have to go.”

“Okay Shai, don’t be a stranger!”

I laughed. “You know I am never. Love you so much! Bye.” I click end and answer Theo’s call. “Aloha!”

“Shai?”

“No I think you have the wrong number? WAIT OHMYGOD IS THIS THEO JAMES?”

He starts laughing. “No, actually this is the Queen of England, and you are now being sued for blowing out my right eardrum.”

“Sorry,” I say, laughing. “What’s up?”

“Would you happen to be hungry?”

I turn around to see if he is standing behind me as I am standing here with the fridge open. He isnt… “Um, yes.”

“Well then you should meet me up on the roof,”

I smile. “I think I can manage that,”

“Don’t get caught,”

“Pshh, Theodore I am Dauntless, don’t doubt me.” I hang up and leave my phone on the counter, heading for the top floor so I can climb the stairs to the trapdoor that leads to the roof. I wonder if he ordered food or something.

After I took the elevator up to the top floor I climbed the stairs that would lead to the hatch. When I opened it and stepped out onto the roof I could see Theo sitting off a few feet away from me, his back turned away from me. I tiptoed over there and then dropped to my knees in front of him.

“Boo!” I said, kissing him on the lips. “Did I scare you?”

He smiled. “Not really, I don’t think the custodians would kiss me. They’d probably yell at me.”

“Dang it,” I looked around. He is sitting on a blanket and there is a picnic basket next to him. “Is this… a picnic?”

“It is,”

“Awww,” I said, biting my lip. “You did this… for me? I didn’t know you could be cheesy. I thought that was just movie stuff.”

He laughed. “Crap, it’s cheesy?” He said sarcastically. “I thought picnics were a blunt way of saying ‘I’m going to make sweet love to you.’” He wiggled his eyebrows and I started to laugh, rolling my eyes.

“No one has ever actually taken me on a picnic before… This is rad!”

“Really?”

“Not if you don’t count Augustus Waters,” He laughed, motioning for me to sit next to him. “But this picnic is on a forbidden roof. So it gets sexy points.”
