*Shailene’s POV*

It’s been almost two months now since Theo and I became what I guess you would call an “official couple.” I haven’t felt so blissed out for as long as I can remember, and it seems that every little thing that I want, and even the things that I didn’t know I could have, are all surrounding me and consuming me in my entirety. Acting for Insurgent has been successful and fun every single day in Atlanta so far, and I’ve made so many new companionships with all the new actors.

People still do not know about Theo and I, and that is how it needs to be for a while now. It would be irresponsible of us to make our relationship public, because if something ever happened between us the reactions would be insane. People already make up rumors and lies, but the magnitude of it would be much greater if they knew we were together for real. We are adults and we should be able to handle our situations maturely and together until it’s the right time to let the world, aka the media, know.

I put my biodegradable bag full of groceries on the floor so that I could open up the door to my apartment. We are quite lucky that management was able to find apartments so close to the sets and the studio, so that the few of us who are pretty much filming nonstop can have someplace that feels like home, instead of staying in a trailer.

We don’t film until later tonight, so I had decided to go to the local farmers market. I’ve met some really nice people down there, and there is a lot of fresh produce from people’s gardens. My food stock was running low, so I figured I might as well go. I walked in, only to see Theo sprawled on my couch, one arm hanging off the side, sleeping. I smiled and shook my head, walking over to the kitchen to put everything away.

After I was done, I walked over to my large couch and knelt down besides his sleeping form. He looks so peaceful in his sleep, his hair ruffled and his lips slightly parted. I leaned forward to place a kiss on his lips. I waited, and nothing happened, so I did it again. His eyes fluttered open and his dark eyes met mine. He looks like a puppy dog, but sexier…

“Should I call the apartment manager?” I whisper. “A strange man keeps trespassing into my apartment and crashing on my couch!”

His fingers slip behind my neck, his thumb stroking my cheek. He pulls me in to kiss him again, and his lips feel warm; safe. “I didn’t mean to fall asleep. I came in here looking for you but you were gone. I also called you, but you know how much good that does me.”

I laughed quietly, sheepishly looking at my phone that I had left on the kitchen counter. It’s not even my phone. The Insurgent managers gave it to me in case they needed to reach me. I would much rather have a flip phone over that excessively fancy one, if I’m being forced to use it.

“You can go back to sleep if you want,”

“Only if you lay with me,”

I wrinkled my nose. “But I’m not tired! I slept well, and I went out to the market to buy food. Oh, and this super nice lady told me that she would put aside fresh herb-"

He put a finger over my lips to quiet me. “You have so much energy goddamn girl! Just come lay next to me, I want to hold you.”

I grinned. Usually I stay over his house, or he stays here, but last night a lot of the cast was partying at Miles’ until extremely late, and people would have noticed if we left together. Plus there were people hanging out in the halls. Since everyone on this floor is involved in the movie, nobody complains when we are loud, so people didn’t go home until late.
