I'm glad you're back |2| (Theo Raeken FF)

And what about your family?

"Guys," Theo said, "this isn't normal. She's as cold as ice."

Slowly opening my eyes, the first thing that hit them was the sun shining. And that meant one thing. It's morning.

I felt other weird things. For example that I was lying in a soft bed, in comfortable clothes, covered in blanket. And no smallest blood sign.

The last thing I felt was some object still doing the same move. It was stroking my hair, going down my head, pulling away and going down again. With my eyes still closed, I caught the object.

"Hey," a voice next to me mixed with laugher said, "that hurts." That's not possible.

I opened my eyes. Few inches in front of my eyes, there was the most beautiful thing you can wake you and encounter your face in the first place. Negligently messed brown hair, pink lips full of life, a gentle frackle and ocean eyes I was literally diving in. These eyes had been watching me. These eyes had been waiting for me to wake up. These eyes were the thing I remembered the last. Since then until that beautiful waking up... complete blackout.

I let go the hand that had stroked my hair. Fingers coming your of it moved on my face. They started getting my hair out of my face. They were taking the smallest hair locks they could and put them behind my ear. When they ended, I rolled in my back, rubbed my eyes and spread out.

*Knock. Knock. Knock. I felt the bed springing and heard the door opening. "Good morning, Mrs. Holloway," Theo said.

"Morning, Theo," mom sounded really satisfied, "so? Is she awake yet?"

I leaned against my elbows and looked at those two. He's wearing a t-shirt. Thank God.

"Finally," mom looked at me reproachfully, "if you want to have a guest here, you can't treat him like this."

"That's okay, Mrs. Holloway," Theo defended me with a sincere smile from one ear to another, "at least I've got time to study. It's been too much lately, and I don't even talk about graduating."

"I understand, I completely understand. Anyway, Theo, if you don't mind, you could have a breakfast with us. And if you manage, I'd be glad if you brought there this sleeper."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Holloway, but you really don't have to do this. I don't know how to thank you for letting me sleep here. I really wouldn't allow myself to be maintained by you. Don't be mad but-"

"No," mom jumped into it, "you don't be mad. This is your home now. And for me, every second I can spend with my daughter's boyfriend is priceless."

Mom left the room and Theo closed the door carefully. He folded his arms and looked at me dominantly.

"You happy now?" I spoke up still a bit edgy, tired.

"You bet. And hurry," he came to me bed and threw the blanket from me, "I'm pretty hungry."

What could I do. I hadn't had the blanket anymore so I was cold and I couldn't sleep. To express disagreement, I rolled my eyes and left my beloved bed. As I went to my wardrobe, Theo returned the blanket back on the bed and fondled it. He simply set the whole bed.

I didn't have the clothes from the previous day. I suppose Theo was the one changing it. In spite of this more than likely theory, grabbing my t-shirt I turned at Theo to see if he wasn't looking. Unfortunately, our guest had just jumped on the bed, it even springed. Legs crossed, hands behind head, elbows spread and eyes on me. "Ehm, ehm," my eyes narrowed, "does a word privacy sound familiar to you?"

"And when I am shirtless, you don't mind."

I turned my back to him, then I finally put the t-shirt off. In the mirror, I saw Theo watching me carefully. I caught myself smirking.
