Soulmates

Chapter Twenty- Four: Crazy Stupid Love

Theo's POV~

Shai hasn't spoken to me in a week. It's really killing me on the inside. I've realize my mistakes, I wish she would forgive me. I hurt her and I can't comprehend how much I want to change that.

I've texted her 15 times and called her 17 times. She either answers it and says she's busy or she ignores it. I'm ready to walk over to her apartment and kiss her. Just to show her that I still love her.

But she might have moved on, all because of me. I ruined this by myself. Shailene has gone off, maybe finding someone else.

Nahko. That little son of a b***h! I never trusted nor did I like that man. He was always interested in Shai, wanting to be with her. Whenever Shai and I wanted to hang out; he tried tagging along.

I decided to call Shai, to invite her over and speak to her one on one. Hopefully she won't decline this time.

"Hello?" She answers.

I was smart and called her from an unknown number. I'll ask her if she's busy and if she says no then I got her.

"Are you busy at the moment Miss?" I say in a deep voice.

"Not at the moment, why?" She answers, in a sweet preppy voice.

Then I hung up, knowing that if she declines my offer, that means she no longer wants anything to do with me.

I call her, letting her know it's my number.

"Hey Theo." She sighs.

"Listen Shai, can you come over to my apartment to chat?" I ask slowly.

"Theo, I'm kind of busy." She lies.

"That's funny how I called you on a different number and you said you weren't busy at all." I respond.

There's silence then Shai says, "Fine. I'll come over."

I smile knowing that I won that time. I should do this more often.

Shailene's POV~

I hate how I fell for Theo's trick, yet I shouldn't have lied. But it's not my fault that I want to avoid this situation. Theo hurt me, he really did.

Nahko has been trying to take me out to dinner or go to the movies. Sometimes I say yes but now it's becoming a little to frequent. I'm starting to think that he may have feelings for me.

However, I have feelings for Theo. No matter how bad it felt, my mind always found a way to get Theo back into my head. But the worst feeling of all is my heart, it feels as if it's cold and lonely. As if Theo could walk make in and zap it back to life.

I arrive at the apartment, memories of Theo and I flood throughout my mind. I frown, not knowing how this is going to go.

"Hey Shai.." He lets me in.

I retreat to the couch and Theo joins me. He begins.

"I'm sorry Shai. I hurt you and it was the most ignorant thing I've done to anyone. Honestly, I wish I could go back into time and I could have stayed here with you." He breathes.

I stare into his eyes, looking to see if any lies are hiding behind. But all I see is love and forgiveness.

"It crushed me Theo and I'm not sure how you can regain my trust." I let my mind speak for itself.

Theo stands in front of me, putting my hand on his heart. I feel it beating 20 miles per hour. My cheeks begin to flush, knowing he still loves me.

"You feel that Shai? When you're near me, my heart goes crazy. None of my girlfriends ever did that." He explains.

Then he says, "Stop telling me that you don't know how we can fix this. That's your head talking. Let your heart speak instead."

I let the words flow through my head, making me think less. I take a deep breath and decided to go with the flow. All this time I was trying to make a plan for my life and that's not who I am. I'm Shailene Woodley, the woman who wants to be surprised not planned.

"Kiss me." I demand and Theo pulled me off the couch into his loving arms.

Our lips met and electricity flew through my veins. My heart no longer felt alone, but now feels wanted and loved. Theo lays me down on our huge, comfortable bed.

His hands never left my body while he undressed me. Theo was careful, as if I'm a fragile piece of glass that will break any minute.

I unbuttoned his shirt and kissed him down his neck, knowing he goes crazy when I do that. One thing led to another and we cuddled together at the end.

Theo held me close on this cold January night. He occasionally kissed my temple and I ran my fingers down his arm.

Our relationship is strange but beautiful combined. I've learned Theo is for sure, in love with me and he learned his lesson. But I also learned that sometimes, your mind doesn't even know all about you.

Instead your heart knows your desires and what is best for you. Therefore, I'll follow my heart on this adventure. As long as Theo is by my side too.

AN❤️~
Did I scare you? Did you think Sheo was over for good? Haha never say never! Hope everyone enjoyed but I have one question... Did Shailene do the right thing? Or will this backfire in the future... More importantly, does Theo think Shai is really faithful or will someone cross her path? The world may never know.... I love you all and remember to always keep on wondering❤️
