So he stuck to cold showers, his imagination and his right hand.
"Theo?" Naomi called, snapping her fingers infront of his face
"Yeah?" He asked, snapping back into reality, finding her looking up at him with curious eyes
"You okay?" She asked after calling him for around a minute. He looked in thought. Very deep thought, she wanted to know what about.
"Yeah, yeah, what's up" he replied, returning to his cool demeanour
"I'm done" she explained, showing off the basket she had gotten from a sales assistant, which was filled with different sets and underwear. She didn't want to get this much but Theo insisted and she knew he wasn't going to take no for an answer so she got what she liked.
"Okay let's pay" he said, as he grabbed ahold of her hand and took them to the till.
Naomi's eyes went wide at the total. Never again. Never again was she allowing Theo to spend this much on underwear. Not even underwear, anything. He couldn't spoil her anymore.
Theo tapped his card like it was nothing and grabbed her bagged items and walked out the shop, with her trailing behind him.
"Do you need anything else?" He asked once he looked back and found her a few steps behind him, trying to keep up with her shorter legs
Naomi immediately shook her head no. And even if she did, she was paying for it herself.
"Okay, do you wanna come back to mine or do you want me to drop you at yours?" He asked. In all honesty he didn't want today to be over. He wanted to spend more time with her, but it was her choice.
Naomi thought about it for a minute. She was trying to figure out how much work she had left and if she could leave it.
She could, so she nodded yes. She also wanted to do something. Something which brought a smile to her lips at the idea.
Once Theo had driven them back to his, Naomi went up the balcony route and placed the bags on his bed.
Theo had taken the front door to grab some water on his way up to his room.
"Oh my god, I can show you the underwear" she smiled as Theo had just come in, drinking his water
"Wait what?" Theo asked, as he put his car keys down and was checking on some messages from Stass.
Before he knew it, Naomi was locking herself in the bathroom changing.
Shit. Fuck. No no no, Theo cursed in his head. He should've been quicker. He should've stopped her. Is this why she had that small smile playing on her lips when she nodded yes to coming back to his.
For fuck sake, his imagination in the shop as well as his dreams about Naomi were enough already, he didn't need to see her actually in-.
"Holy shit" he cursed as Naomi re-emerged from the bathroom in a black Lacy bra, with a barley there thong.
"You like?" She beamed, walking towards him, spinning around.
Theo swallowed.
And he swallowed again.
His throat was dry. He was in shock.
Naomi watched Theo's frozen stature. She begun to call his name to get his attention.
Still nothing.
Snapped her fingers in his face, nothing.
"Theo!" She shouted
"Huh?"
"I asked if you liked the set?" She pouted
"Yes" he said breathlessly, moving away from her.
