I wake up and find an outfit. I put on a skirt and a black tank top with a denim jacket. I slide on white high top converse. I curl my hair lightly and do light make up. I go down and Lucia is sitting there. I make toast and coffee. Luce walks over and sits across from me. "How did ya sleep?" asked Luce. "Good, weird dreams of wolves turning into Theo" said Paisley. "Really" said Luce. I nod. Luce just stands up. "Got to visit a friend, see ya later" said Luce. She leaves. I lean my chin on my hand and look around. I don't have his number to text him for the study session. I decide a private message on Instagram. 

To Theo

Hey... what time do you wanna meet up so I can show you around?

From Theo

In an hour in Starbucks? 

To Theo

OK see you then!

I grab a coat and my bag with my purse. I go out and decide to walk to Starbucks since it's 10 minutes away. Once I get there, I buy a coffee and sit down. I look around and decide Instagram time!

Adam_McCarty: Nice. You look smoking hot xxx

I sigh and turn my phone off. "Hey.... Paisley, you OK?" asked Theo. I look at him. "Yeah I'm fine" said Paisley. "What's wrong?" asked Theo. I sigh. "Theo I don't feel what I should feel with Adam" said Paisley. Theo looks away. I look at him. Somethings up. I am going to find out. "How do you feel for him?" asked Theo. "Friendship but not even that.... lately he wants sex and I'm a virgin. I'm waiting for someone perfect and he isn't it" said Paisley. "I'm sorry" said Theo. "It's fine. It's just shit" said Paisley. We stand up and go find the gym. I smile at Jess. "Hey this is Theo, he wants to sign up" said Paisley. She nods and helps him do it. "Personal trainers are available" said Jess. "I don't need one" said Theo. He takes his card and  we leave. I show him shops, restaurants, cafes and the library. 

We go into In N' Out and have dinner there. I smile at him. I spot Adam with his mates and this girl, Kacey. She is in love with Adam. "Adam's over there" said Paisley. Theo looks and nods. "Wanna hang with him? I can always go home" said Theo. "No. I said I'll show you around" said Paisley. We enjoy the food when Adam walks over. "Come join us, we have a spare seat for you" said Adam. "I'm hanging with Theo, Adam" said Paisley. Adam frowns and walks away. Theo looks at me. "You can go, if you want" said Theo. I grab his wrist to stop him from moving... holy fuck the sparks. "No! I said I am hanging with you" said Paisley, with this strong yet powerful voice and Theo submits to me? Huh? He nods and doesn't move. "OK Paisley" said Theo. I nod and let his wrist go. I feel empty all of a sudden. I shrug and we go for a walk in the forest. 

We sit on a log and he smiles. "I love nature, it's so peaceful" said Theo. I smile. "So do I. I feel such a strong connection to this place" said Paisley. "Why are you going to UCLA if you like this place?" asked Theo, looking at me. "I feel like I have too. Business degree and stuff" said Paisley. "It's your life you know" said Theo. "I know but life" said Paisley. "If you want to stay, stay" said Theo. I nod and we stand up. He walks me home and hugs me. "See you in school Monday" said Theo. "See you" said Paisley. I go inside and go to my room. I go sit on my window seat and look out. I see Theo walking into the forest? Hmm must walk home that way. I slide into my pyjama's and slide into my bed.

I watch Netflix till midnight and then I go to bed. 

Today was good. I think I have Adam.


I hope you enjoyed this chapter! No big developments just yet.
