Sheo Forever

Chapter 6 - 'I love you'

SHAI POV - 

1 MONTH LATER - 

I wake up tangled in Theo’s arms. I turn so I am facing him, and I just look at him. I look at my boyfriend. The human being I love with all of my heart. I love Theo James. He is my best friend, and my boyfriend. I really do love him, and I am in love with him.

Unconsciously, my fingers start to trace his facial features. I start with his eye brows, and then his eyes, next his hooked nose, and finally his lips. My fingers trail over his lips as his grip around me tightens. He pulls me on top of him, so I am laying on him. I stop tracing his lips, and start to kiss his neck. I start at his collar bone, and make my way up his neck, sucking at different spots. I kiss just under his ear, and he makes a low growl. I stifle a laugh as I continue to kiss him. I start to nibble at his ear lobe when all of a sudden he rolls us, so he is on top.

I giggle and Theo places a kiss on my forehead, each eye, both cheeks, and starts to kiss my shoulder and neck. He keeps kissing my neck as his hands roam my body.

“Theo,” I moan.

“Hmm?” Theo moans back.

“As much as I am enjoying this, one; I really need to pee, and two; I am really hungry,” I say.

Theo pulls back and groans. I kiss his lips slowly and full of passion before I get up and head to the bathroom. I finish in the bathroom and realise that I am in short shorts and one of Theo’s old shirts.

I walk out of the bathroom to find Theo lying face down in bed. His arms are cradling his head and his pillow, and the white sheets are wrapped around his waist, showing the top of his boxers. His breaths are even so I assume he went back to sleep. Was I in the bathroom for that long?

I go over to Theo quietly, and lay down on his bare back. I rest my cheek on his shoulder, shut my eyes and I start to breathe in sync with him.

In. Out.

In. Out.

In. Out.

“Are you comfy?” he asks. His voice muffled by the pillows.

“Pretty comfy, yeah,” I reply with a smile. My eyes stay closed as I slide off him, and fall on to bed next to him.

Theo wraps his arms around me and pulls me close. “Shailene,” he whispers. “Shai, I have to tell you something,” he finishes.

I open my eyes and look straight into Theo’s. “And what might that be?” I asked.

“You are beautiful,” he says.

Before I can say anything, his lips brush over mine. “You are so beautiful,” his lips brushing over mine with every word.

I can feel my cheeks redden at his comment.

Theo chuckles, “I love it when I make you blush.” His lips still brushing against mine.

I feel myself blushing even more. I smile and kiss him. A quick peck before I roll out of bed, and go searching for food.

I go into Theo’s kitchen and start looking for food. I decide to make eggs and bacon for us both. Before I start cooking, I find my phone and turn on some music. I turn it up and start preparing breakfast.

“I stay out to late.
Got nothing on my brain
That’s what people say, mmm-mmm
That’s what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on to many dates
But I can’t make ‘em stay
At least that’s what people say, mmm-mmm
That’s what people say, mmm-mmm”

I sing along to Taylor Swift, and dance around the kitchen. I turn the stove on, and start frying the bacon. I turn back to the counter, to get some more bacon, and that’s when I realise I have an audience. Theo is leaning on his shoulder, against the door frame quietly watching me. He is standing there just in his boxers, with his arms folded over his chest. He has a smile on his face, and his ankles are crossed losely. 

“Yeeeeeees?” I ask, smiling. 

“Nothing. Continue on,” he says with a smile.

I turn around and place the bacon in the frying pan.

“Hey, can I pick a song?” Theo asks.

“Yeah, go ahead,” I say.

I wait a bit for the new song to come on.

“Before I play this song, how cooked do you like your bacon?” He asks.

I look at him quizzically. “Umm, it doesn’t matter. I’ll eat it anyway it comes” I say.

Theo smiles, comes over to me and starts to play the song. “May I have this dance, Miss?” He asks, extending his hand.

“Yes, you may, Sir” I reply taking his hand.

Theo places a hand on my lower back, and the other hand is holding mine at shoulder height. My hand is on Theo’s shoulder.

‘When your legs don’t work like they used to before
And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you ‘til we’re 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I’m thinking ‘bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me-I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your hand on my beating heart’

As soon as Ed Sheeran sings that line, Theo puts my hand on his beating heart and says, “This could be our song.”

We sway back and forth in the kitchen while we listen. The bacon burning in the frying pan, but we don't really care about that at the moment. 

All I care about is Theo. 

“I love you,” I whisper unconsciously, looking into Theo’s eyes.

“I love you,” he says before bringing his lips down and slowly, but passionately, kissing me.

The three words that could make or break us. The three words that mean so much. Those three words that I have been waiting to say since our first conversation. I. Love. You…. And he said it back. 

A/N - soooo? How do you like it? 
They said the three words... I  Love You. 
What do you reckon should happen next?
Tell me what you think of this chapter ? :)
