“Edward needs to fuck off,” Theo added as an afterthought, brushing my hair out of my eyes.
“Why?” I replied puzzled.
“Because I’m coming back home, baby. Forgood.”
I stood up, spilling my hot chocolate over as he grinned, the light returning to his eyes.
“You mean—”
“I’m coming toyourcollege. Yup. Let the fun times begin.”
I kissed him repeatedly as happy tears slid down my cheeks, my hands clawing his body into mine as he chuckled against me.
“So hot chocolate... you’re on your period, right?” Theo groaned as I made a face.
“Maybe.”
“Right then. Chinese, chocolate, and a rom-com it is. Where’s my car keys, sugar?”
“I haven’t said I forgive you yet.” I smiled as he tugged me close to him.
“I’m sorry it made you doubt me. But there’snothingto forgive. I love you, Phillips.”
“I love you too, De Luca.”

HANNAH
“De Luca!”
I heard a voice roar, and I turned with a stupid grin on my face.
Theo was bro-hugging some guy. There was a flurry of activity surrounding the ‘new guy,’ and I broke off my conversation with Edward to see Theo had already locked eyes with me.
“Your boyfriend is here.” Edward huffed, frowning at Theo with distaste.
“He is,” I murmured, drinking him in with my eyes.
Theo smirked at me, sending a bored glance in Edward’s direction.
“You werealwaysmy favorite part of coming to school,” Theo growled in my ear, his lips sending a shiver down my back. “Iloveseeing you every day.”
His hands circled my waist as I leaned back onto his shoulder, my mouth meeting his as he kissed me intensely.
“Mm baby, maybe we should—”
“Theodore.” I warned, as he sighed dejectedly. He lifted his eyes to Edward before raising an eyebrow.
“Take my advice. Don’t get with a bad girl.”
I elbowed him as Edward looked away, but Theo continued.
“So, any parties coming up,Eddie?” He winked at him as Edward shifted uncomfortably under his glare.
“Not that I know of,” Edward snapped, and I bit my lip as Theo whistled.
“See, the last time I was here—” Theo nodded at yet another friend who was walking by before returning his gaze to Edward. “––Youwere the man with all the information. If there’s any you want to invite us to, just holler, yeah? My girllovesto party.”
