The Football Player's Roommate

46.

"Nice to meet you, Annalee." Theo quickly said before giving her a half-hearted wave.

"Same to you." She gave a polite nod before Theo grasped my wrist and was already dragging me to his room.

While he was pulling me away I shot my index finger up to tell her we'd just be a minute.

"Theo! What are you doing?!" I whisper-yelled as he successfully pulled me into his dark room. He set me on his bed and even though he couldn't see me I was still obliged to give him an annoyed glare.

He didn't speak. He just closed the door behind us, flicked on the light and stood in front of me with his hands on his hips. His gorgeous face was being ruined by the frown lines sinking towards the floor and his perfect chocolate eyes were now holding a anguish-filled glare.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest with my eyebrows up in a "what-do-you-want" kind of manner.

When the silence could no longer be tolerated, I finally gave up. "You know if you hold that face any longer, you'll be stuck like that forever."

He scoffed, but it was hard to miss the one half of his face had tilted up in a humorous grin. "No it won't! Stop trying to get me off topic. Amaya! I can't believe you invited someone else to stay with us without even asking me first." He threw his hands in the air in disbelief.

"I'm sorry. It's just-"

"No. First it was the dog, now it's a person. I wonder what's next! Probably a small family, then we'll move onto a big family and then you'll just start taking every single person you meet in!"

I couldn't help but laugh at his overdramatic rant which only resulted in him becoming more annoyed.

"It's not funny, Mya." Theo grumbled crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I thought it was." I chuckled with a shrug before stretching out on the bed.

"Didn't she pretty much screw you over? Left you to deal with rent and everything all on your own? She ditched you. Now you're just going to let her swoop back in and stay here? She's just taking advantage of you and you're just letting it happen." He stated in an irritated tone.

"Sometimes it's just better to forgive and forget, Theo. Anna was in love. She thought she was going to be with her boyfriend forever, but she realized he was only with her for her inheritance and even had the audacity to cheat on her." I tried to explain but Theo's face just remained stony.

"She'll only be here till she finds out about her application. I'll even help her find a new place for after. She's a really good person, just got caught up in the moment." I tell him.

Even though I told him the whole story, he still remained unmoving.

With a sigh, I lifted myself off the bed, and walked over to him taking his tightly wrapped arms away from his chest and wrapping them around myself. His body seemed surprised at first, but soon he melted into the embrace and tightened his limbs around me. I rested the side of my face onto his chest resulting in him laying his head on my own.

I couldn't help but inhale his scent. It had become all too familiar to me now, and was now a favorite of mine. It smelled like home.

"Where's she even going to sleep?" He sighed making me smirk.

"Finally caving, huh?" I chuckled into his chest.
