I Wont Let You Go

24.

-Next Morning (Saturday)-

I saw Theo's car in my driveway again. I just got home from having brunch with Beth. He got out as he saw me driving in. I sighed as I took the keys out. "Lia.." I stayed quiet and walked over to my front door.

"Lia." He said again as I opened it. I stepped in and held the door open. He looked at me puzzled. I motioned for him to come in. I walked into the living room and took a seat. "Lia.. I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me?" Can I?

"I don't know Theo.. if you can't trust me, what's the point of even being in a relationship with me? If the second you break up with me, you try to get at other girls.. might as well just stay single." I shrugged.

"I only did it because I was so angry-"

"That's the thing Theo! If whenever you get mad at me, you're gonna break up with me and jump on to some other girl just to get back at me!? That's not healthy dude. That's toxicity." I yelled in frustration.

"But." I calmed down. "I can see I messed up by not telling you.. but I promised Nathan I wouldn't. But you being all over Alyssa to get me angry is just plain childish and evil. After I sacrificed my friendship with your brother, to be with you, and you confessing your love for me, just to throw it away and try to piss me off?"

He sighed. "I'm so sorry Lia. I really do love you. I have loved you for the longest time." As much as my heart hurts right now... "I just need time to think Theo.." He stood up and walked over to me. "If that's what you need, I'll give you space. I love you, so much." He kissed my head.

Why me? For so long I complained about no one wanting me but relationships are so fucking stressful.

What Ade texted me brightened up my day a bit. Last night, their date went so incredible they just decided to make it official and I cannot be happier for them.

-Friday-

I walked into my house and Theo was in the kitchen with my dad. "Oh honey, Theo's gonna be staying this weekend. The Archibald's are out of town and after Theo's little party last time... he's staying with us." I nodded. "I'm going over to a conference in Washington. I'll be back Monday. If you need anything Beth is a phone call away. You two, please behave. Theo, no parties while I'm gone." He chuckled.

He hugged me and gave me a kiss on the head before leaving. I turned and looked at Theo..

"I'll stay out of your way.. don't worry." He picked up his bag. "Are you going to the party?" I nodded. "Let me know when you leave, so I can come back at the same time. I don't wanna be locked out." "Okay."

I decided to go to tonight's football game since its the championship. We were down by two touchdowns. Theo didn't seem to be giving it his all. I walked over to the concession stand for the visitors side because ours was packed. I could hear their coach yelling out the plays.

I hurriedly walked over to our side. I ran over to the boys locker room. "Woah woah woah" "hey hey" they all said as they were half naked, freshening up.

"Guys are the first to send and ask for nudes, but when a girl walks into the room while y'all are changing, you turn into little bitches." Coach laughed. "She's got a point... but what are you doing here?" So I told them. "Are you sure?" He asked and I nodded.

As they walked back out, I grabbed Theo's arm. He looked at me. "Next play, the qb is gonna fake pass it to 19 and run it himself. The second one, if he doesn't throw the pass, he's gonna hand it to 17."

"Thanks."

"Theo..." He turned back. "I know you're not playing at your full potential.. I know you can give it more than the shit you're giving right now." I know reps from Florida and Mississippi are here tonight watching him play.

"LSU may have disappointed you but you have other amazing schools who want you. Any of them would be lucky to have you. Go out and give them a reason to fight over you." He smiled. He came over and kissed my forehead. "Thanks Lia." I went and took my seat back. Safe to say, 4 more touchdowns on our end occurred, 3 of which Theo scored.

I went home and got ready. I changed into a short velvet dress with a long v cutout at the front. I tied up my gladiator heels and looked at the mirror. Not even I can help but check myself out.

Adriana picked me up and even she was in awe. "You look so good. You have to let me borrow that dress sometime." I laughed but nodded.

I went straight into the kitchen to pour myself something to drink. Someone grabbed my waist. "If we were on good terms right now, I'd take you home and take that dress off faster than you put it on." He sounded so seductive that it really did turn me on.

I turned around and looked up at him. I placed my hands on where I imagined his v line is. "What's stopping you?" I whispered in his ear.

With one swift move, he was holding my hand leading me to his car. Is tonight really gonna be the night?

He sped to my house. My stomach formed a knot when he locked the front door and picked me up as he kissed me.

He sat me on my bed and took off my shoes first.

"Are you sure about this Lia? We don't have to." Am I?

"If you don't rip this dress off of me right now Theodore James-"

"Yes mam." He didn't let me finish and I laughed. I always imagined that I would feel insecure, my first time.

He kissed every inch of me and I felt alright. I felt at ease. "Ready?" I nodded as I bit my lip.

It did hurt. But it also felt good... Scratch that. It feels amazing. I couldn't help but moan. "Fuck." He muttered. "You're so beautiful." He kissed me.

"Theo" I moaned as I gripped the sheets. He only went faster...

I wiped the sweat off of my forehead as we laid there. He turned his whole body to his side so he could face me. I turned my head and smiled. "I think our little break is done." I said and he laughed. "If this is how make up sex is gonna be, I think we might have to have breaks more often." He said and I laughed.

I yawned and he pushed a piece of my hair back. "Go to sleep." He whispered. "I wanna shower first." I said standing up.

I took a quick shower before returning back to my room. He was fast asleep which made me smile. I decided to sleep bare tonight. I crawled into bed and kissed him.

He wrapped his arms around me and I laid my body on him. "Good night. I love you." He whispered.

I fell asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
