The Football Player's Roommate

28.

Theo's face leaned in closer and our mouths were a mere two centimeters apart. I could feel his hot breath on my lips.

Gracie must've fell asleep because she was no longer squirming in my lap, but she was the last thing on my mind with this beautiful boy right in front of my face about to kiss me.

My eyelids automatically fluttered shut and Theo leaned in closing the rest of the gap between us. Our noses were touching, but unfortunately our lips were not.

As quickly as this moment started it ended with Theo's phone ringing a melody.

"Bad boys, bad boys.
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"

I opened my eyes to see that Theo hadn't moved a muscle, but looked somehow more disappointed than I felt.

"I better get that. It's the cops."

"You literally set a ringtone for the cops?" I asked with one corner of my mouth turned upwards trying to fight off a laugh.

"I set a ringtone for everyone." He said simply.

"Do I have a special one too?" I asked standing up and setting Gracie back on the ground.

He winked before he clicked the green button before answering his phone.

"Hello?"

He listened intently to whoever was on the other side of the phone and nodded his head as if agreeing with them.

"Yeah this is him."

"Yes."

"Okay see you then."

He hung up the phone and then turned to me as he was tucking it into his back pocket.

"Well what's the verdict, judge?" I asked while crossing my arms.

"Well the cops are almost here to pick us up, so it shouldn't be much longer."

"Okay. Well we better get going." I said starting to walk towards the front of the store so they'd be able to see us immediately.

I got halted when Theo gently grabbed my elbow and pulled me back to him. I looked down to his hand and up to his eyes wondering what was going on.

"That kiss?" His eyes twinkled and his lips pulled into a smirk.

"Haha in your dreams, Theodore." I winked before I started walking back around front again.

"Ugh. This is why your ringtone is what it is." He shouted mischievously making me half in my tracks.

"What is it?" I asked before turning around to him.

"For me to know and you to find out." He grinned as he walked towards me and eventually past me.

That's it. I'll just call him and find out what it is.

I dialed his number into my phone and started treading after him.

"Well you can take me down with just one single blow
But you don't know, what you don't know..."
