Theo couldn’t really imagine feeling the way he felt for Sienna, with anyone else. He couldn’t quite believe he’d let himself fall in love with someone, because quite honestly he was a jock who played girls, he’d never anticipated a real relationship or anything similar. He had wanted to be single, because that way he didn’t get hurt. Before Sienna he was known to be involved with a number or girls, mainly preppy or jocks, but his sex life, although speculated on, was never a certainty in the gossip forum. He was apprehensive when he’d committed himself to a relationship, because although it had felt right, he wasn’t sure he was strong enough to remain faithful. His friends had little faith in him, and it seemed Sienna also shared that view somewhat. There was a force between them that had remained through their break up and was with them right now. But Theo wasn’t man enough to admit it, and he was too stubborn to fight for her. He guessed there would come a day when she moved on, and he’d have to accept it. He raised his eyebrow and sighed slightly, ”You always were a cock tease. That’s all I’m saying Sienna. But you really shouldn’t put images and insinuations into an innocent mind like mine.” He smirked, his eyes flashing over her petite body filling his mind with indecent images.
Theo doubted that Sienna was really the type of girl to sleep with another girl just for attention. He didn’t really think she was like that, she had too much respect for herself. Or so he thought. It was true that he was slightly more promiscuous, but his sex life had reduced somewhat and he wasn’t sleeping with random girls as much. He hated the feeling the next day when he woke up on his own, or next to some girl who clearly had no self respect. The only girl he enjoyed sleeping with was Tyra, but he knew she’d never commit to him, she loved life too much, and at the same time, he didn’t really think a relationship with her would be what he was after. The person that he wanted was stood in front of him, but amidst his bluntness, he didn’t really have the confidence to tell her. It would only be like reliving their break up should it all fail. ”Yeah. I guess I wouldn’t want to know. I guess if you’ve slept with a few dud guys, talking about them may well prove difficult.” He shrugged, almost asking for a response from her. ”Yeah we all make mistakes.” He admitted thinking of the girls he deeply regretted. But a done deed couldn’t be reversed. ”I don’t talk about my sex life. What happens between me and a girl stays that way. It always has been that way. I’m not that guy. People speculate, and I don’t comment, so yes, there are rumours, but that’s not to say they are true.” He shrugged his shoulders, he didn’t want her to think he talked about sex. Yes, sometimes him and John talked about girls, but John was his best friend. He rolled his eyes at her no attachment comment. He felt it was all bull.
Theo watched as she fidgeted, he found it quite cute, but he was curious as to why she was indicatively nervous. ”You can be.” He smirked and raised an eyebrow as he speculated. He laughed as she agreed with him, watching her behaviour the smile remained on his features. ”It is not cruel. I am only helping you remember why you love me.” He said lightly a phrase he used with friends in a joking fashion, and he suddenly realised the implications, his cheeks blushed and he shook his head quickly. ”Shit. I didn’t mean that, I meant like as a friend... sorry.” He laughed uncomfortably quickly rushing his hand over his shaven head. He wished he hadn’t opened his mouth. It was an embarrassing statement with lots of obvious implications. It was something you certainly shouldn’t say to your ex whom you still loved.
Theo shook his head as she asked if Libbi was a lesbian. ”God no. I don’t think so. I think she’s into guys. She’s just not so much into jocks.” He shrugged indicating most of his friends fell into this group. ”Of course I have guy friends. I was thinking about John. Like, he hasn’t really been with anyone for a while, so I thought maybe he would take her out.” He suggested shrugging his shoulders quite pleased with his on the spot thinking. Theo raised his eyes almost disgustedly curious by what she was implying. ”Me? A dad? Are you for real? I’m only eighteen.” He stated shaking his head, he took a lot of things literal, plus he was absolutely terrified of being a dad, however old he was. ”Do you want kids?” He asked curiously, not that he was asking her if she wanted his kids, but he presumed for rhetorical purpose that he’d presume that.
Theo smiled lightly, he didn’t think he was too nice of a guy, in fact he figured he needed to be less of a jerk. He laughed as she put her hands on her hips trying to be an authority figure. ”Well, I’m not complaining, I’m just stating facts. I wouldn’t complain if you tried to visit more often.” He shrugged trying to play it cool, there was a definite sense of sexual attraction between them, but Theo was determined he would not break it. ”Nope. I trust you, sort of. And if I go missing, I’m sure the football team will call out a search party.” He laughed slightly, knowing if he was late to practice coach was straight on the phone. He smiled as she put her arm around his waist, people onlooking would presume they were an item. It made him smile. ”We getting some movies on the way?”

The brunette was not one you’d pick to have more of an emotional capacity then rock. However she did and it was very much brought into play by Theo. It was not a secret that she hated most people, hated her mother, hated most of the people at school, and hated her teachers. He was well aware of this, in fact most people were and they made the smart decision to stay away. Theo on the other hand had either been brave or stupid, either way she was glad he had. The boy had basically brought her to life by some form of miracle. Not only did she owe him for that but over time had come to love and adore his annoying and quirky habits which had surprised her ten fold considering the reputation he had. Sienna had honestly just thought of him as another jock, sex loving ass hole basically. Their whole dynamic was ridiculous. She was a hard headed bitch who basically had no prospectes in life. He on the other hand was possibly one of the most popular guys at school, a star footballer who had many opportunities smacking him in the face. She knew that him being with her would eventually one day ruin things for him but being selfish was part of her nature. Perhaps that was why she didn’t want him with anyone else because selfishly, she still wanted him even though she knew it wasn’t what he needed. Although she knew he’d probably already moved on by now and so should she. It was still hard to comprehend, even after six months. A mock look of appall crossed her face and Sienna gently touched her heart, well where it was under her ribcage and looked hurt. ”Me? A cock tease? That was mean” pouting at him again it was only a moment before she broke into laughter. “I don’t think your all that innocent, sorry”
Sienna did have a lot of respect for herself. There was a difference between just generally causing havoc and being a ‘juvenile delinquent’ to being a slut. A lot of people seemed to think she was both which wasn’t the case at all and Theo could vouch for that. She may have been careless but when it came to anything sexual Sienna was anything but careless. After all she didn’t want rumors in one of those stupid Myers report about her sleeping around. Surprisingly, Sienna liked being affectionate when she slept with people she generally liked them to still be beside her when she woke up. Unless of course it was someone she’d slept with when she was completely drunk, then she generally tired to kick them out straight way. Of course there was always part of her that wished it was still Theo she’d be waking up next to. She shrugged “It was my choice to sleep with them, I just didn’t know what a bad choice it was at the time. Alcohol has this amazing effect of clouding your vision” watching him for a moment she chewed her bottom lip “True, but not everyone makes a mistake and moves on” now if he’d been thinking non-literally that could have been taken the wrong way. Trying to fight back a laugh she instead smirked “Hey, no need to get all defensive, this is me your talking to .I know you don’t talk about it, especially about us because if you had, you know you wouldn’t have been able to sleep with anyone for a very long time” flashing a wicked grin at him.
She couldn’t help but fidget; it was a terrible habit and an obvious way to tell she was nervous. Cocking her head to the side as he commented she paused for a moment “Do you mean I can be cute, or evil?” perhaps he should think carefully about his answer. In all honesty she didn’t mind being called cute, not if it was by him. The subtle flirting was enjoyable, until his next comment hit her hears. Sienna paused and ducked her head. She hadn’t thought it was that obvious, although after a moment the realization he was joking entered her mind and she sighed in relief, but low enough so he couldn’t hear. Lifting her head she grinned back at him, a forced grin of course. “I know what you mean, don’t freak out its okay.” this was ridiculous, it was so awkward. It wasn’t like they hadn’t hung out since they’d broken up, why today of all days was becoming so awkward she had no idea. As Sienna asked if his friend was a lesbian, his immediate answer made her smile. “Well then, if she’s not in to jocks maybe she won’t think it’s a date after all” that was ne thing she could understand, not being attracted to jocks. Although Theo was a special case so maybe she should have been worried after all. ”Typical male, you keep changing your mind” she grinned at him as she teased him. It was however true though, first he’d said he’d take her out then a group date and now he was going to set her up with one of his friends? Good thing he was figuring it out with her and not his friend or the poor girl would be confused as hell.
He was taking what she was saying the wrong way ” I know your only eighteen I wasn’t saying have kids! Geez!” she couldn’t help but get a little defensive before giving a giggle “Although it could be sort of interesting watching you change a diaper” the image it created in her head made her want to double over in laughter, however she tried to control herself. Now it was her turn to wonder. Did she really want kids? “I don’t know” she stated truthfully . This was probably one of the more sensitive issues for her. “Maybe not I don’t want to become my mother” not that it was likely, drugs weren’t something she planned on taking up anytime soon. Sienna just meant she didn’t want to be a dead beat parent which was very likely. He changed the topic quickly and she was glad, Sienna didn’t want to get caught thinking about her mother at a time like this. It usually only made her cranky. “Fact is, your roommate is a psychopath, besides it’s not like you ever come to visit me either” she pointed out however she couldn’t really blame him. With her father in the house it wasn’t hard to see why.
The sexual tension that always built between them drove her crazy and took all the self control she had not to do anything that could be taken the wrong way. She shrugged and grinned “Hey if I could knock you out of the picture, the teams star player I’m sure I could take on the rest of those drop kicks” apart from the fact she was tiny, Sienna wasn’t all that intimidating, not to most of the boys on the football team at least. She was well awear a lot of them were Theo’s friends so it might have been rude to slag them off right in front of him, but since when did she care about that? The way their bodies fit together was something that made her grin. If she hadn’t of been so stubborn she might have even cuddled into him, but for now this was good enough. Sienna nodded and looked up at him as they walked. “Yeah, I was thinking old horror movie night. Ohh and we need to get some beer!” not very many girls around here drank beer but it was one of her favorites, so she wasn’t your average girl, big deal.

Theo cocked an eyebrow and tilted his head to the side, looking at her as if he really didn’t believe she was doubting herself. He loved nothing more than to wind her up. He knew that by implicating her in sexual endeavours was a way to achieve it and so he was not scared of making her aware of this. ”Sienna. Baby doll. You cannot think for one moment that you are not a cock tease.” He grinned, his mouth and eyes wide in dispute. ”You know that when you were dating me, every other guy with half a brain on the football team wanted to screw you, and you’d flaunt in and be flirty and it’d drive everyone crazy. Then you made me wait to prove myself, that drove me wild. You’d flirt and lead me on when we were out so I’d need to get you home and make sure you were pleasured. Sienna you were a tease. You are a tease. Your doing it now. Your making me think about things that I shouldn’t do. Like how that jacket would look better on the back seat of my car or on my bedroom floor. So stop teasing please. Its not good. I’m only human.” He grinned laughing slightly, he liked to think that Sienna still had some feelings for him, even if it was just friendship ones, but he doubted it. ”I am innocent. You know me. I’m easily influenced. Well I was when I was with you, I guess you were a bad influence causing me not to be so innocent.” He rolled his eyes sighing pretending to be innocent. It was true, he was anything but. His reputation was known throughout the school as being a player, and having the choice of many different girls. He figured it was to do with the football team.
Theo listened to her, trying to keep his face emotionless which was a hard thing to do since most people found him easy to read. ”Doll, you need to be careful. Look after yourself when your drunk, so you don’t make mistakes… I mean seriously what would have happened if you went off with one of those weirdo’s and was never seen again? You can guarantee your dad would come looking for me.” He stated smirking trying to turn it into a light hearted topic. It wasn’t that he was worried about her, she was a tough cookie she knew how to handle herself but he couldn’t deny feeling jealous, although of course he’d never admit if she asked. He pretended only to care about her in a sort of big brother type way, but the truth obviously was a lot different. ”So you not moving on from your mistakes then?” He asked her curiously, figuring there must have been an underlying message to her statement. ”Yeah yeah, you would have no way got rid of my penis because you would have missed it too much. There I said it. You loved our sex and so you valued my whole body too much to mutilate it. Plus I have too much respect for you to gossip about what we did when we were together.” He stated in a matter of factly way, a proud grin on his lips as he nodded slightly.
He paused for a moment curiously, he knew he had to word things carefully with Sienna or she’d get offended. ”Both. You can be cute when you want to be, and you threatening to cut of my sex organs, well that was evil.” He stated slightly pleased with his answer. ”I think you stage your reactions well, and you often be evil for a front. So you don’t let people close.” He informed her, having always thought it but never admitted it. He hoped she didn’t take it the wrong way. He was finally being honest to her. Completely honest and he didn’t even have to be. He shrugged his shoulders trying to play it cool, ”I am chilled. I’m not freaking out.” He laughed awkwardly running his hand quickly over his head before looking around curiously. He paused then frowned as Sienna questioned him, ”She doesn’t like jocks much but she doesn’t really class me as a jock, but maybe I just need to set her up with John. He’s cool, but I don’t know if he’ll like her. It’s not like she’s really popular or anything. My guess is she’s a virgin too.” He stated pausing quickly as he realised Sienna had been a virgin when he’d got with her. ”Not that there’s anything wrong with virgins. I guess it depends who your with. I mean, it worked perfect for us.” He added quickly before wishing he’d bit his tongue off.
He sighed relieved as he realised he’d picked her up the wrong way. ”God I thought you were saying you thought I should be a dad. Then I thought you were trying to tell me you were pregnant, and I was like totally confused, since it’s been six month or something since we were last together together, and you threw me for a moment or two. I’m a guy. I’m stupid.” He laughed trying to not stumble over his words but failing miserably. ”No no no . I couldn’t not yet. No way. Maybe when I’m a bit older. Well I’m saying a bit, I mean years and years older.” He shrugged not really having thought about it much before. Theo shook his head as she said she didn’t want to become her mother. He didn’t know a lot about Sienna’s mother, but he knew enough to know Sienna was far from like her at all. ”You’d never be like her. You’d make a good mom.” He shrugged hoping she didn’t think he wanted children with her. He’d always kind of avoided talking about the future when they were together and he wasn’t going to start now. ”Yeah Jack is crazy. I cant come and see you. Your dad would be on me like a tonne of bricks, he’d probably pull his shot gun out and blow my head off if he thought I was still talking to you!” He exaggerated, but even when they’d been together her father had been wary of him. Maybe it was the whole jock thing.
Theo rolled his eyes, ”Sienna, baby, Coach would send an army after me if it meant I could play in the games. You just wouldn’t get away with kidnap. Plus your dad would go berserk if you kidnapped me. He’d probably have you sectioned.” He laughed playfully. She was a petite girl but she was somewhat intimidating when she was in a bad mood, some of the team had seen her kick off with Theo before and it hadn’t been a pretty sight. He laughed as she looked up at him and offered a night of horror movies and beer. ”Sounds good to me. I guess I’ll let you hide behind me if you get scared.” He smirked joking as they left the grave yard.
------------------------------------------------
They’d spent a while choosing movies, flirting and getting beer, and it was almost two hours later when they arrived at her house. Theo stood outside, somewhat apprehensive at first before he made his way inside. It was just the way it had always been and having had evidence her father wasn’t home he instantly began to relax, falling back into the old way of life. He put some beers in the fridge and put a film in the dvd player before making himself comfortable. He pressed pause, waiting for Sienna to settle. ”Come on S, it’s starting!” He moaned from the settee, his body slouched into the soft leather, his legs stretched out. ”Come settle down.” He repeated, wondering if he’d even get home tonight. He’d not brought the car, he’d figured he’d walk home. It was only a ten minute walk, but if it rained he could always get a cab. He sighed curiously wondering what would happen. The two were just friends right?

To be completely honest she’d never thought of herself as tease, however as Theo spoke and seemed to list of points of evidence to back up his claim she couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the realization that they were all true. She had in fact flirted with a lot of the boys on his football team, just for laughs. She had made him wait and had often driven him crazy in public just because she liked to see him squirm and feel like she was in control. ”You know what, I never even though about all of that, I’m not sorry though. It was fun” it was her turn to raise an eyebrow at him as he commented on her jacket looking better in the back seat of his car I happen to like this jacket, there will be no getting it ripped from my body tonight thank you very much”she said matter of factly, nodding as if to certify it. However her face was anything but serious, in fact she was grinning from ear to ear. It was nice to know she still had some sort of effect on him. Although according to him she’d had an effect on a lot of people. That made her stop and wonder if she really did act like a cock tease. It was very likely, Sienna was sadistic and enjoyed watching people squirm and letting them look but not touch. In her opinion he was anything but innocent although he could put up a decent act if need be. ” Oh of course blame it on me. If this were a movie I’m be the sexy bad guy, leading you into trouble and what not” as appealing as that part sounded Sienna was well awear he could get a reputation for himself, It wasn’t as if he was some sort of saint.
The mood suddenly turned from light to serious and she could tell he was trying to keep the emotion from his voice. But even just from the words he used she could tell he was concerned. “I am careful, I’m not an idiot Theo, I not to go off with someone who’s creepy, trust me it’s okay” thankfully, he changed the mood again and she nodded, smiling “Yep, straight to you and he’s probably knock some sense into you, search your dorm then ring the police” however that might not have been to far from the truth. The tension between Theo and her father was fairly thick and getting either of them to behave was hard enough. It was cute in a way that he was concerned but she figured she’d tormented him enough so left it alone. Shrugging as he questioned her, obviously curious the brunette avoided his gaze. “Not all of them, I have my regrets, somethings I wish I could have done differently, but that’s the past I guess” of course she wished it was still the present and possibly the future as well. Listening to his little rant once again Sienna felt herself blush, it was true, he was the best she’d ever had. Not just because he’d been her first, but he was simply just… the best and she had enjoyed sex with him.”Yeah shut up, or your neck won’t be able to support your big egotistical head” notice she didn’t deny it.
Theo seemed to have turned into some sort of physiatrist, however his evaluation was fairly accurate which was interesting. Sienna wasn’t awear he paid such close attention. “That sounds about right. People are shit, why would I let them in when all their going to do is screw me over and hurt me?” the question was more rhetorical but Sienna’s voice had taken on a steely tone. He knew how she felt about almost everyone else; the way she acted with him wasn’t like how she treated other people. Of course you are” she said quickly as he said he was chill. It was an awkward moment and had defiantly shaken her a little, Theo however seemed cool and collected. Dammit, she shouldn’t let her emotions get the better of her. Listening as he talked about his friend again she waited patiently, he was such a guy.”Well as long as you don’t tell him she’s a virgin, I don’t know most of your friends but I hear that’s a pretty big turn on for football players” she doubted he’d ever do something like that but still felt the need to warn him. Raising an eyebrow at him and his cheeky comment, she punched the side of his arm gently ”Hey, that was us, we were just amazing in bed, porn companies would have paid millions, not everyone could be us.” it was her turn to take an awkward moment and turn it into a joke. Shaking her head furiously she dropped her mouth in shock. “Oh shit! No! Hell no, I’m not that stupid , always use protection , or no sex you should know that” she spoke quickly, tripping over her own words. After a moment of silence she laughed, shaking her brown curls out. “Did you seriously think I was trying to tell you I was pregnant?” even if she had been, Sienna would have either gotten rid of it and never told him, or told him a long time ago and given him the option to run before her father found out. But she was always careful with things like that. Trying to catch his gaze she titled her head to the side. “I think you’ll be a good dad, just saying, even it if its fifty years from now” teasing him again. The topic of her mother was a touchy one, basically the woman was a drugged up gold digger and Sienna wouldn’t have tolerated her if she’d still been around. She smirked as Theo commented on them being different “I hope so, or I’m going to have to shoot myself right now”.Speaking of guns… his reaction to her father was a little dramatic but she couldn’t help but grin “How about we just organize a mutual point then? Where no one will be stabbed or shot at” pausing for a moment she grinned, wickedly “Not the football stadium though, that gives you a home advantage” pleased she’d been able to bring a sporting analogy of some sort into this conversation, which was impressive as Sienna hated football and all things associated with it, normally.
Secretly, she liked it when he called her baby but wasn’t about to admit it. Pouting she crossed her arms, imitating a small child. “Well that’s no fun. Dam your coach for ruining my plan of kidnapping you” of course if she did kidnap him, Sienna had no idea where she was going to keep him, if she kept him at her house it was true her father would probably institutionalize her. Snapped out of her thoughts by his voice again Sienna laughed ”Doubtful, I think you’ll be the one hiding” then again it was likely neither of them would be, old horror movies she found were more laughable then anything.
It’d taken them a long time to get the few items they needed together. Sienna was making Theo carry everything and whipped the key out of her pocket, unlocking the door and stepped inside. It wasn’t like he didn’t know where anything was. ”I’ll be down in a second” she called back down the stairs as she jogged up them to her room. Throwing her jacket on the floor, so she was only in a tank top the brunette checked herself in the mirror before hearing him call out. Rolling her eyes at his impatient nature she jogged back down the stairs into the kitchen where she grabbed a couple if beers. ”Here” she said, throwing a bottle at him. Sienna sat down next to him on the couch, not to close, not to far away. Just enough to make a respectable distance and tucked her legs up under herself. “Well come on then, press play, I haven’t got the remote!” unscrewing the top of the bottle she took a sip before settling back. Alcohol might not have been the best idea especially considering the circumstances.

Sienna made Theo smile more often than not with her witty comments and sarcasm. She was everything he wanted yet he couldn’t be brave and admit it. He’d had the best physical and emotional relationship that he’d ever had, yet he’d been too stubborn and too jealous to be sensible and he lost it all on the back of a few stupid rumours. Theo listened to what she was saying and paused before speaking, ”Not everyone’s like me. Not everyone’s going to hurt you, and screw you over. You can’t keep everyone at arms length.” Theo admitted, sighing shrugging his shoulders. He smiled coyly turning his head to one side. His eyes stared at Sienna for a short while before he smiled, ”You were a turn on. Back then. You know, you weren’t like everyone else. I don’t know if John would think it would be such a good thing, I’m not sure.” He shrugged his shoulders, figuring she didn’t have a clue about what was going through his head, but really if Sienna thought about it, it was obvious. He laughed slightly, and shrugged his shoulders, ”You are putting really bad images in my head. Really good. But really bad. I told you, you were a bad influence!” He laughed slightly gently pushing her softly in a playful manner.
Theo laughed as Sienna spoke about babies. He shook his head, ”No no, I didn’t think that, don’t be silly Sienna. I know you would be a hell of a lot bigger than you are, if you were pregnant. Either that or you’d have denied it and would have got rid of it.” He shrugged smiling in a joking manner. ”Thanks, but I doubt it will happen. I’ll be an uncle before that. I have a feeling my sister is trying for a baby.” He admitted, it was an odd prospect. Ever since his parents had died there had just been his sister and him, and if she had a baby he’d kind of be on his own. He grinned and then ran his hand over his head, ”The football stadium is the perfect spot!!” He moaned shrugging his shoulders playfully, Sienna always pulled out the playful side of him. He grinned as she implied he’d be hiding, he remembered how he used to pretend he scared so he could snuggle into her, and hide behind her in a joking manner.
Theo rolled his eyes as she said she’d been down in a second. A second was mostly an hour for women, and although Sienna was different to most, he hadn’t expected much different. He was ultimately surprised when she arrived quicker than he’d thought she would. He glanced over as she threw him the bottle, catching it with a smile on his face. It would have been somewhat embarrassing if he hadn’t caught it. ”Thanks.” He smiled unscrewing the lid slowly. He hit play on the dvd remote and leaned back into the settee comfortably, ”Just like old times.” He remarked taking a drink. It wasn’t long before Theo finished his bottle. He stood up, getting another bottle for himself and one for her. ”Here.” He handed it to her, not sure whether or not she’d finished hers or not. His concentration span faded slightly as he glanced over to Sienna, she looked perfect as the light from the screen flickered across her face. He extended his foot and prodded her leg with it playfully before retracting it calmly. He took another drink and sighed as he refocused his face on the screen, a light smirk playing on his lips. ”One two Freddy’s coming for you, three four you better lock your door.” He smiled playfully as he sang the song quietly in relation to the film they were watching.
It amused him remembering what they used to do when they were watching films, play fighting and trying to scare each other. It was all in the past. This was the present, sitting miles apart from each other, two friends, that was it. Theo’s mind was spinning as he sat there, the tension was unbelievable. He could feel it. ”Remember that time when we watched the poltergeist, and when you fell asleep I turned the tv on, and hid in the cupboard?” He asked smirking, remembering when he’d managed to scare her, it had caused a massive argument but it had been worth it.
