Theo and I stopped in front of a big wooden and fancy door of a big golden gated fancy house here in New York.

I keep rubbing my small hands.

"Nervous?" Theo formed a little smile for me.

"Kind-kinda" I stutter. He pulled my shoulders closely while drawing circles in it slowly,

"Don't be" He smiles. And in a second, the door opens.

"Theodore," A middle aged woman in around 40s greeted Theo happily.

"Lynn," he shook her hands. The woman smiled big then turned to me,

"And you are?"

I clear my throat.

"Sh-"

"My girlfriend," Theo held my waist.

"Her name is Shailene."

"Pleasant to meet you," I shook her hands. She smiled back,

"Well come on in, your father has waited for you."

"My stepmother," Theo whispers slow to me.

I got in and wow.

What can I say, Theo probably has the nicest house I have ever seen. It is so big and wide and full of furnitures with the colour of red and gold, very very fancy and so london looking. Theo must have already been rich before he started acting, unlike me. Maybe if he just stays with his father and didn't do any job he probably is also rich as now.

We stopped infront of a long dining table. A middle aged man has waited for us. Stern look. Thick moustaches. Grey hairs. He must be Robert James.

"Son," he greeted.

"Hi Rob" Theo chuckled.

Robert took it by suprise but he says, "come sit" instead.

"How is your carreer Theodore?" He asks as he started passing the food.

"Fine" He answered quickly.

We both continued eating until Mr.James noticed my existence.

"And who might this lady be?" He asks.

"My girl, Shailene Woodley."

I lend out my arm, "It's good to see you sir." He stared at my hands onxe before he accepted it. I pull away then sat back to my seat again.

"So Ms,Woodley, what college did you go to"

I coughed once, "Erhm no sorry I don't go to any university."

"Why is that"

"My dad were unable to pay"

"What about your mom" He asks curiously.

"She passed away," I made it quick.

"And so what does your dad do Shailene?"

Drink. Poker. Sleep. Repeat.

Theo finally let out coughs,

"I'm going upstairs to my room." He got out from his seat.

"Might want to pack a little things from there. Shai, you comin?"

I nodded then followed him upstairs.

"Sorry about that" Theo says as he slammed the door shut.

"No, its fine.. really." I say, looking around at his twice bigger room than mine.

Theo opened the drawers and grabbed out a bag and started packing.

"Theo you know that you could just easily live happy ever after with all of your father's richness? Like you dont have to go to shoot scenes and-"

Theo laughed heavily, shaking his head a couple times.

"Acting was just a hobby of mine.." He stated.

"Divergent was my first movie and I've only dones like series on tv and so"

"That's my point.." I tell him. "Why waste your time for shooting Divergent when you actually already have a big amount of money?" I laugh back.

Theo closed his drawers, and I could see his back going up. He turns his face a bit around, "I didnt actually went to audition myself for Divergent to get the money" he confessed.

"Then what is your vaild reason?" I asked curiously as he's now sitting in his bed next to me.

Theo looks up to me, smiling.

"You," he blushed.

What?

"M- me?"

"You," he repeats once again.

Theo winks,

"I must say that I have fancied you a bit since I watched the spectacular now"
