Waiting On You [18+]

15

Squinting her eyes, Naomi quickly turned her head, burying her face back into Theo's chest.

She felt his chest rumble with laughter and she looked up at him. She found him looking down at her. He was half laying down, half sat up, with his arms in the air, holding his phone up above her head, so that he could go on it, but also not disturb her sleep, as her leg was propped up, over his body whilst her head and arm was sprawled across his upper body.

"What?" She croaked out, getting off of him so he could be comfortable and not have to accommodate her previous position.

"You. The way you were screwfacing the sun for rising" he laughed

"Well it woke me up. It's too early" she complained, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes

"Good, now you're awake"

"Why are your curtains open anyway?" She asked

"I never really close them because I'm usually getting up as the sun rises to train or jog anyway, so it never bothers me"

"Ugh, athletes" she playfully rolled her eyes

"Oh wait! Shit, did I stop you from training today?"

"No don't worry, today's my rest day of the week. And I've just been waiting for you to wake up anyway"

"Why?"

"So we can go for breakfast"

"Breakfast?"

"Yes, breakfast now get ready"

"Theo I'm so tired though"

"Nope, come on. We're getting breakfast" he said, as he pulled the covers off of Naomi, causing her to sigh out of frustration and reluctantly get out of bed.

He didn't even need to tell Naomi twice about her having his wardrobe to her disposal, before she ran past him giggling, straight into his large collection of clothes.

At least that made her happy.

She re-emerged around ten minutes later with a small selection of clothes, wordlessly going into the bathroom to get changed.

Once Theo was dressed, he knocked on his bathroom door. "Naomi can I come in, I need to -" he started, as she opened the bathroom door for him.

Her hair was done into a high bun, with a few strands coming out at the back because she only had water available as assistance. She was wearing a her leggings from last night, with his favourite graphic T-shirt. She didn't know that though. It was this white t-shirt with the looney toons cartoons on it, it looked oversized on her, but she was currently wrapping a hair band around it to make it cropped.

"I'm stealing your coat by the way" she smiled

"Wouldn't expect any less" he laughed, shuffling through his draws to find her a spare toothbrush he had bought her weeks ago, but she hadn't stayed over since he had gotten it for her.

He finally had managed to find it and passed it to her.

The two of them brushed their teeth, whilst glancing over at the other in their mirror reflection.

Theo couldn't help but imagine them older doing this. Maybe married. Just the two of them in their own little bubble. Just her and him, together. Maybe one day with a kid on the way. He wanted that and he wanted her to see that future with him too.

Naomi couldn't help but feel at peace in this moment. Maybe she got things wrong, Theo wasn't her chaos. Her mind and insecurities were. Those two things, stopping them from being together. Maybe they could do this. Maybe they could be together, maybe her and Theo could have a future together, but they just had to take things step by step. She wasn't going to let herself fall as easily as she did with Josiah.
