Theo's POV:
The movie was long over and Alice was long asleep but i did not move as i didn't want to wake her even with my legs being completely numb.
*Ping*
I checked a message on my phone. They were emails from my sister. I turned the screen off planning to check them later when i was home. I caressed the dark locks that sat onto of her as she quietly snored deep in sleep. She soon began to stir and sat up.
"Did i fall asleep?"
"Yeah , you missed the ending"
"Are your legs okay?"
"A little numb but they'll live"
Her small hands went to my thing and started to message it, I flinched surprised.
"Its fine don't worry about it" I grabbed her wrist.
That was dangerous.
"Oh, sorry did it hurt?"
"No there was just no need to"
I think the sleepiness was still clogging her brain.
"What time is it?"
"7:30 pm"
"Hmmm wanna have dinner?"
"Your cooking"
"No i feel like ordering in"
"Hawaiian Pizza?"
"You have amazing taste"
I remembered that being one of her favorites from the file.
She called the pizza place and it would be an hour before it got here so we sat on the couch and talked since we didn't feel like watching another movie.
"So what do you actually like doing besides all the ridiculous stiff said in tabloids"
"That i enjoy skydiving and taming lions?"
"And that you do sumo wrestling"
"That whole thing started because i flew to Japan one summer to watch a match for a class assignment."
"Diligent guess your not that much of a truant"
"My dad wanted to home school us but my mom wanted us to at least be somewhat social so I went to actual school a few days a week to balance it. "
"Your mom sounds really down to earth , your dad a bit protective."
"My mom isn't from a wealthy family and my dad has fear of us getting kidnapped for a ransom again"
"Again?"
"Yeah it wasn't in the tabloids but we got kidnapped around almost 20 years ago but we got back unscratched my dad almost lost his mind, mom was worried but not enough to keep us bottled from the world like dad did."
"His bottling didn't really work, simply breathing puts you on a magazine cover"
"Yeah the world was counting to my 18th birthday."
"That's messed up"
"Your the second persons to say that , my college seniors said i was lucky"
"They are just as bad as those women who counted."
"Men too"
"Wow you really do pull everyone"
"Correction my money does"
"People are so shallow and desperate , its like love has become meaningless."
"Yeah I gave up on it till now, one of my girlfriends tried to get pregnant from one of my condoms luckily i got a vasectomy when I turned 16. "
"That's some heavy stuff for a 16 year old."
"The more money you have the scarier people get, your the most honest people have been with me in a while outside of Thea , Louis and Kayla"
"Kayla?"
"Loius' l-girlfriend"
Almost let the cat out of the bag.
"Well now you have another one on your list." She took a sip of her glass of water.
"Four happens to be my favorite number"
The doorbell rang and I went to get the pizza.
"The holy grail is here" I said walking back to living room. She brought 2 glasses and plates from the kitchen. Each of us grabbing a slice.
"If i could marry food I would"
"So food is my competition"
"Don't compare where you can't compete"
"So how was your childhood?"
"Good until I got adopted as you can see"
I forgot about that i was so into our conversation.
"Oh you don't have to-"
"No its okay, my first few years were great at the orphanage all the nuns adored me and i got along with the kids then I got adopted, didn't go so well , I went back a forth a couple times and then I got adopted by the family you just met and I stayed until i turned 18 and got into university. Pretty boring compared to your child celebrity life I've never been in the newspaper for eating a bag of chips"
"Your lucky, when it got out that I liked that brand the next day it was cleared off the shelves by my crazy fan girls."
"Yikes"
"I'm surprised you know so much about me but didn't recognize me"
"I grew up in the stone ago I didn't have a phone, I don't really page attention to the rich bachelor list but I did hear about you a lot from people at work and when i moved to this city. And I heard you were blond so I thought Louis was you"
"Yeah my hair got darker as I got older"
"Yeah it was lighter in your older photos."
"So do you have any outrageous gifts as a kid"
"Not really my mom would scold my dad if he bought us super unnecessary expensive stuff but I did get a customized car when I got my license"
"Your fashion sense was also expensive"
"My parents never bought any of that designers would just send me clothes they made for me as gifts."
"Yeah you do have the model physique, your family has some good genes"
"I'll send your compliments to my parents.
Our conversation slow down as we ate but the laughter did not die down soda almost coming through her nose a few time. I was a little past midnight when finally caught our breaths. The pizza had vanished in that time span.
I got up to leave but she stopped me.
"Could you stay here, They might not give up and come back in the morning."
This was dangerous but she needed me.
"Sure no problem"
"You can stay in the guest room, I'll get you some blankets."
"Yeah thanks"
Alice made my bed , I stood by the door watching her and my mind wandered to if we ever lived together as a couple, i could get use to the view.
"I'm just across the hall, call me if you need anything"
"Yeah."
"I think these will fit, I have to fold and tie it to fit me" She handed me a pair of basketball shorts and a large t-shirt.
"They're perfect"
She left and I took and shower and got into bed. The clothes fit perfectly, I imagined my clothes falling off of her, swallowing her whole.
I could smell her everywhere, I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that she was just across the hall even though we live in the same community the proximity was just more felt.
