They lay within one another arms in the dark with just the moonlight spilling into the room. It was a perk that Theo had no roommate so the luxury of privacy was at its peak. Lia could be whoever she wanted to be and acted how she contented. This would be the moment she would take the leap and tell Theo her secret.
“I dropped out of school” Lia whispered and Theo looked down at
her. She didn’t raise her head to look at him instead she listened to how rapid
his heartbeat was and the heat emitting from his skin.
“Why?”
“They wanted me too, I have to focus on being a Guardian but
yeah, no more Social Work for me” She whispered and quivered when he traced his
name onto her skin with his finger. The goosebumps rose on her radiant skin and
sent a chill down her spine. His hands stopped by her hair and began to run his
fingers through it.
“One day”
“One day?”
“One day you will be exactly where you need to be, don’t worry,
I am here for you always”
“Theo … I love you so much”
“I love you too Celia”
She rolled her eyes and he let out a lax laugh. Years later she
still detested the way he said her name but not the same way as others did. He
could repeat it all day and her heart will still swell with nervousness. She
never felt this way before. Sure she had feelings for guys, hell girls, but Theo;
he touched a nerve that no one else could.
“Let’s sleep” He whispered and pulled her up so she could lie on
the pillow.
“No let’s stay up” She appealed and he laid his hand on her
cheek to calm her.
“I have class at 10 AM”
“I don’t want to go yet. I want this to last Theo”
“So don’t go”
