HAYLEY'S POV

Theo and I went to get more drinks when I remembered Joan had said we go home early for a late dinner.

"I need to find Joan" I said.

"Okay let's go find her" he replied and we began to move pushing the crowd.

I tumbled when someone pushed me barely being able to stand but was saved by a hand that gripped my hip.

"Careful" Theo warned and I nodded.

I spotted Joan at the far end of the room talking to a guy.

"Aren't you coming for dinner?" I asked her with a knowing smile.

"Alright let's go" she replied and I smiled and she nodded toward Theo.

"Oh he came for the party" I replied.

"No I came for you" he said.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I wanted to surprise you but your dad said you came for the party" he explained.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"You want to come home with us?"I asked.

"I would love that" he replied and I smiled brightly.

How much did I drink?

I pulled Joan away from the boy she was flirting with and followed Theo.

"Shii no way" Joan exclaimed when she saw Theo's car.

"Are we really going to ride in a Porsche Macan? " She asked and Theo chuckled.

"Sure" he replied and she let out a little squeal.

"What of your car?" I asked her.

"I'll have Tommy take care of it let's roll" she said jumping into the back seat of the car.

I looked up to see Theo holding the passenger seat door open for me.

I smiled a little blush crawling up my cheeks.

"You don't have to" I smiled.

"I want to" he said returning the smile I looked away and walked towards the car stumbling a bit because of the alcohol in my system.

Theo got in and started the engine when Joan poked her head from the back seat.

"Got any good music?" She asked.

"Yea, what do you listen to?" He asked.

"The weeknd" she replied and he nodded while he began playing Creeping.

"You okay?" He turned to me and I nodded.

I definitely felt more sober now.

He nodded with a smile and faced the road.

Why wasn't he acting goofy?

And why was he being all sweet?

"Thank you for wanting to come and surprise me" I said and he chuckled.

"I would have preferred to see your shocked expression" he replied.

"You...

"I DON'T WANT TO KNOWWW!!!" Joan yelled in our ears and I turned around to glare at her.

She just smiled and continued singing but in a lower voice.

Theo laughed.

"I've been meaning to ask you something?" He said.

"What is it?" I replied.

"Can you see without your glasses, I don't mean to be rude but you're always wearing them?" he said.

"I can't exactly see it's blurry without them, I can identify an object's colour it's shape is very blurry and makes it hard for me to tell what's what" I replied and he nodded.

"Well they suit you very well" he smiled and I returned it.

Soon we reached my house and the three of us hopped out.

The door was locked but I had a spare key.

Vandel was nowhere to be seen and this made Joan groan.

I tapped her shoulder in a comforting gesture.

"Next time" I replied.

"Let's watch a movie?" Theo suggested and Joan nodded happily.

I believe she had less alcohol than me how did this happen?

I went into the kitchen and popped the dinner Vandel had left for us into the microwave and started the popcorn.

"I think your friend passed out on the couch" I heard a voice and turned to find Theo leaning against the doorframe.

I shook my head and laughed.

"She's spent all her energy" I replied.

"Feeling sober?" He asked.

"Pretty much" I shrugged turning back to the microwave to bring out the dinner and put the popcorn.

"Did you find any movie?" I asked but there was no response.

I wanted to turn around but felt a pair of strong arms grab my hips.

"What kind of movie do you want to watch?" He asked in my ear his voice dropping an octave.

How does he do that?

He sounded like a totally different person I looked down at his large tattooed hands gripped on my waist and try to pry it off a bit.

"I recall someone wanting this" he said tightening his grip.

"I...I didn't say I wanted you to" I complained.

"So you want me to take my hands off?" He asked blowing air on my ear and I gasped.

"Theo" I whispered when he drew me closer to his body and felt something poke me.

Shit

"The popcorn is going to burn" he whispered pulling away and I scrambled to get the popcorn out as it had been ready a while ago.

I turned around to see Theo wasn't in the kitchen any longer.

I poured the popcorn into a bowl and brought it to the living room.

"Bring it here" Joan said.

I thought she had passed out.

She gave me a knowing smirk and my eyes widened.

She never passed out.

...

Halfway into the movie, Joan said she wanted to use the restroom and I turned beside me to find Theo asleep leaning against the armrest.

It was a rom-com that be had chosen
How could he sleep off?

I glared at him.

After eating he slept off after complaining that the movie was boring.

Turning off the TV, I adjusted him to lie in a more comfortable position before clearing the plates.

Where was Joan?

Was she still in the bathroom?

I rushed upstairs to check the bathroom but I couldn't find her.

"Joan?" I called.

"Joan?" I called and noticed the door to Vandel's room slightly opened.

I pushed open the door to find Vandel sprawled on the bed and Joan sitting on a chair and she seemed to have slept off.

I hit the chair twice and she stirred awake.

I pulled her not giving her any time dragging her to my room.

She just yawned and tossed herself unto my bed.

I rolled my eyes and fetched a blanket going downstairs, I spread it over Theo tucking him well before heading back upstairs.

I was also tired I pushed Joan towards one side and tossed myself unto the bed falling asleep immediately.
