Poppy waited patiently once the waitress ran off to get Avery. Internally, she had to keep herself from smirking the entire time. Her face just slipped into that expression whenever Theo was around, especially now because of the stunt she was pulling. She hadn't felt this much excitement over a guy in a long time, and she was honestly glad that they both found ways to spice things up every now and then.

She turned toward the kitchen in time to see Theo stepping out. He was fuming, and she could see it. It only made her want to smile wider, but she maintained the face of a snobby customer who seemed unsatisfied with the perfectly delicious food. She reminded herself to come back here one day for a proper meal. For now though, she'd enjoy the game a little bit longer.

Theo's eyes landed on her and his expression shifted to one of recognition. Still, he kept up the angry facade, just as she continued to pretend to be someone she wasn't. He likely understood she was up to something here, so it was good that he was playing along. Plus, he looked hot when he was angry, so she wasn't bothered by the whole act in the slightest. Poppy watched as he walked over to her table. The waiter, while pointing her out to him, fortunately didn't follow, so she could say a few things to him discreetly, when nobody was paying attention.

"I did," Poppy nodded, looking to the food for a moment before meeting his gaze. "The food's good, although something just seems... off about this," she explained, doing her best not to break out into a smile. Her words were lies, of course, because the food was absolutely perfect and she knew that Theo knew this as well. "If you don't mind, I'd like to see how you do it, maybe take a look around back there. After all, you never know when you're talking to a food critic, right?"

That was an interesting role. Food critic. It came to her in the moment, but she realised that it was a fitting character for her to play, at the moment. People wouldn't give her a second glance, or think anything strange of the interaction. Hopefully.

"I imagine your restaurant depends on a good review to survive, which means it's up to you to make me happy," Poppy added in a slightly lower, more sultry tone.

[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Watching closely as Poppy explained her 'complaint', he knew her whole goal was to get behind those kitchen doors. He wondered how exactly she would get her way. Listening carefully, his eyebrow raised in question at the mention of food critic. Ah, that was clever. It had been a while since an actual food critic had come into this establishment. A good review always boosted their numbers. Theo normally had a heads up when a critic was coming in. He didn't know how his boss always got word of them being in the area, but he wouldn't complain. Sometimes, though, they'd come in unannounced. They normally didn't pull stunts like this but he could work with it.

Poppy looked elegant in her white dress. He thought she fit in well with the whole rich critic role. Theo also realized the other chefs in the kitchen would be too focused on their work to ask a lot of questions. "Ahhh, I see, of course," Theo's expression morphed again into one of intrigue. He ran a hand through his sweaty hair. He gestured for her to follow him. As they moved to walk back to the kitchen, he walked close behind her. "I'd do anything for 5 stars," His voice was low, unheard by anyone else since they were too engrossed in their own conversation.

Pushing open the doors and allowing her to walk in first, Tak looked at him in confusion. Just one word, "critic", mouthed to his coworker caused his eyes to widen and turn to his side to whisper something to the person beside him. "As you can see," He began to go into his normal shpeal he used with critics, "We have a 10 person team. Prep here. Grill here. Finishing touches here." He pointed to each area of the kitchen. He moved over to the area where they kept ingredients on hand. A quick glance told him that they were low on shiitake mushrooms, which weren't in the dish that Poppy had originally ordered, but no one had to know that. "Hmm, seems that we need to start our tour in the back before we get started," Hand clasped behind his back as he looked down at Poppy. He began to walk off, not really waiting for her to follow after him. Rounding the corner to the corridor that lead to where they kept all of the ingredients. Opening the door and flipping on the lights, the room always had a warehouse feel. The large garage door took up the right wall with shelves of different spices, dry ingredients, and utensils. Off to the left was a door to the cooler. It was quiet, but more importantly, the two were completely alone.

Turning to his guest, Theo smirked. "Since you're a special guest, I thought I'd give you a taste of something off of the menu. It will really knock your socks off. I'm sure it'll give us rave reviews," His voice was hushed as he grabbed her waist to bring her closer. He leaned in ever so slightly, teasing her with distance. He knew everyone else was too busy with work to even bother to notice. Tak even made sure if Theo was giving a critic a tour, no one would bother him. Giving him plenty of time. He wanted to shoot, not just for 5, but for 6 out of 5 stars. Might as well be ambitious.

Poppy waited for Theo to catch onto what she was playing at. She wanted to see the back, where he worked, and maybe, just maybe, there'd be a secluded enough place for them to sneak off to for a quick adventure. The idea of it certainly thrilled her, and she could tell, since Theo was playing along, that it thrilled him as well. She offered a smile when he agreed to take her back, doing her best to hold back a smirk.

It became much harder when he explained that he'd do anything for five stars, but she was able to maintain her composure instead of letting the act slip away. She was about to meet all of his colleagues, so it was important that they didn't see right through her and whatever game they were playing. She hadn't thought about it much when he came to her office, but now that she was the one in a fake role, she realised how hard it was to stay in disguise when all she wanted to do was banish everyone and have Theo right there.

Poppy looked around as Theo treated her like an actual critic and began to show her the ropes. Since she'd never actually been at the back of a kitchen before, she was excited for more than one thing. It smelled amazing back there, and half of her wanted to go back to her food, but not yet. She hadn't yet done what she originally came for.

Theo soon mentioned starting in the back, and that left an amused glimmer in her eyes. "Lead the way," she told him, nodding to the others in the kitchen before she followed behind him. It wasn't long before they entered a room that had nobody else in it. It looked more like the place where they kept all their supplies for replenishing. She spotted a freezer room as well, which further confirmed her theory.

Once she did a whole 360 of the room, she eventually stood in front of Theo, facing him. He wasted no time pulling her closer by the waist, and she grinned up at him, letting the facade fall away. She arched an eyebrow curiously when he mentioned doing something different, since she was a special guest. "Well I'm glad it's off menu," she told him, tucking her fingers into the loops of his pants and pulling him even closer to her body. "Because I don't really like sharing my food."

She'd already made that plainly clear, but it was fun to say, nonetheless. She sealed the line by closing the gap between them with a kiss to his lips. She didn't know how long they had before one of his colleagues began to wonder what was happening with the tour, so she didn't want to waste any time.

[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Even if Theo knew he had a enough time, it wasn't a lot. He could always count on Poppy to cut to the chase. Theo scooped her up in his arms. He carried her with ease, never once breaking away from kissing her. He set her up on the industrial table they used to sort and unpack shipments. Was this a health code violation? Most likely it was. He wanted to laugh at that revelation. If his boss ever found out about this, he'd get roasted like the barbeque meat they served. But he didn't plan on getting caught.

It had only been a day since the last time they were together. It felt as though he hadn't seen Poppy in forever. He could have her every single day. Every time was better, both of them learning more and more. Each new place was more exciting than before. They kept taking greater and greater risks, which doubled their reward. Theo knew if they continued like this, he could never be unsatisfied with Poppy. She was up for anything and so was he.

Theo adjusted his uniform, making sure everything was just as it was before. While waiting for Poppy to get presentable, he grabbed the mushrooms he had supposedly been after. He couldn't come back empty handed, that would look suspicious. Turning back to face Poppy, he motioned his head towards the door. "I hope you worked up an appetite," He told her before making his way back out to the kitchen. The room had slowed slightly as closing was getting closer and less and less costumers were coming in. It was still busy, keeping everyone occupied and none the wiser to the fact his 'tour' had taken a little longer than usual. "So, we have our ingredients and you've seen all we have to offer. Ready to get to work?" Theo couldn't just stop here, he'd show her his other set of skills. She'd get a special treat in watching him cook. Maybe if she stayed till close, they'd be alone again and the skills she was more familiar with could be utilized once more. So he'd be sure to take his good old time with this.

As usual, Theo didn't disappoint. He never did, and each little adventure of theirs seemed to be getting more and more risky with each day that passed by. Just down the hall were a bunch of Theo's colleagues, and any one of them could walk in at any moment, but neither of them seemed to pay attention to that possibility. They were busy enjoying each other, and Poppy was admittedly doing her best to keep quiet the entire time.

When all was said and done, she was busy smoothing down her dress and combing her fingers through her slightly tousled hair before she looked back to Theo. "Definitely," she grinned, following him out of the storage room. Poppy had been hungry before they got down to business, since she interrupted her eating to have him come over and settle into their 'roles', so to speak. Poppy was now extremely hungry since what they'd done was nothing short of a quick workout.

Poppy once again put up a more professional face as they stepped into the kitchen where everyone was still there. They continued cooking as though nothing was wrong, and Poppy noticed that it was quieter outside, because it was getting closer to closing time. Regardless, she was actually intrigued by all the processes that took place in a kitchen, so she happily stayed by Theo's side as he proceeded to cook for her to see. As a fake critic, she did quite well. Poppy was amazed at everything Theo did, honestly. Plus, he looked cute in an apron so that was a bonus.

By the time he was done, she was starving, and she was quite sure the others were setting up to close down the restaurant for the night. She knew that Theo stayed back later though, which meant that Poppy would likely be staying behind a little late with him. Oscar already knew she wasn't going to be home till much later anyway. She wouldn't be surprised if she still beat him home, in fact.

When nobody else was paying attention, Poppy took the risk of leaning in closer to Theo. "You're hot when you cook," she informed him with a grin before leaning back and looking at the food. "And it all smells delicious."

[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Theo was surprised how hard it was to stay focused. Maybe it was because when he cooked, it was easy to forget the world around him. But with Poppy sanding right next to him his mind was still in the backroom they had just come out of. He persisted anyways. It helped that he picked a dish he could make with his eyes closed. The two recipes he prepared were his own. They had been on the menu since he had first started working here. So they were oldies but goodies.

He explained each ingredient as he put them in the pan, flavor profile, texture, and wanted result. A little dramatic flair came when he put a bit of alcohol in the pan, causing it to flame. Each step he'd have Poppy smell or taste what he was working on. When Theo was close to finishing up, he noticed that the lights in the dinning room were off, that the restaurant had quieted, and that things were starting to be packed up. Perfect.

He placed the plate, which had a noodle dish coming originally from Japchae, a popular stir fry like meal that was one of his favorites, on the counter in front of Poppy. The second was a bowl of soup, an upgraded Soegogi-muguk (beef and radish soup) recipe. It always reminded him of his grandma. She'd make it for lunch whenever he was over at her house. Being able to cook food from his family's culture was probably why he stayed at this job. It was inventive and creative while still being able to pay homage to his family.

As soon as he noticed that the majority of the other chefs had left and only the last remaining few were in the back, getting ready to leave, Poppy was already flirting. He smirked when she said he was hot when he cooked. Oh, he knew. He could hear the voices of the others nearby so he kept his cool and went back to a neutral facial expression. "That's how you can tell something tastes good. If the smell alone can make your mouth water, then imagine the taste," He explained as the rest of the group walked into the kitchen.

A questioning glance from one of the chefs came his way. He was wondering if Theo would be alright by himself. With a quick things up and a motion that told them to get out and go home, he watched them head towards the back door. Oh, he'd be just fine on his own. Jumping up on the counter to sit, facing Poppy he smirked. "Perfect timing," He mused, waiting to see what she wanted to do.

By the time Theo was done cooking, Poppy noticed that everyone had cleared out, and the two of them had been left alone. She vaguely wondered if this was normal for a chef and a critic. Did they usually stay past working hours to conduct more tests, ask more questions, stuff like that? She had no clue but in any case, if it didn't raise questions for her to stay back with him once everyone was gone, then she didn't mind.

Theo soon jumped up on the counter to face her and she grinned as she looked at him. "I'm glad I came early," she told him with a smirk, leaning against one of the other tables and looking at Theo curiously. The dishes he'd just prepared sat close by, still hot and fresh and deliciously tempting.

"I want to do you," she told him. "But I also really want to eat and I think the food's looking better than you right now," she told him with a small laugh, before walking over and picking up one of the plates, since the other was a soup. One bite and she felt like she was on heaven. "Apparently, you can pleasure a woman in two ways," she smirked, lifting the dish up as evidence before taking another bite out of it.

It wasn't long before she finished and she felt absolutely full. Probably too full for another round with Theo, but she knew it wouldn't be long before they met again, if tonight was any indication. They'd barely waited a day before their last round to go again.

"Thank you for a wonderful meal. I don't think I've ever had dessert before dinner," Poppy teased him. "Text me," she added, making it clear already that she wanted to meet again soon, before she placed a fleeting kiss to his lips and then turned to leave.

[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Theo would be lying if he had said that he wasn't the least bit disappointed that Poppy had chosen his food over him. It was fine after he thought about it for a second. He was exhausted at this point. After being on his feet all day and their backroom meet up, he was ready to just go home. Not that he wouldn't have gone one more time if Poppy hadn't stuffed her face. Kinda like one could always find room for ice cream once they ate, he could always find more energy. He was satisfied with her compliments and a kiss goodbye. Theo knew it wouldn't be long before he saw her again.

He was right. It had been about two weeks since that night. Since then, the two didn't slow down from their original pace. Their hook ups weren't all public. A lot of them were, because it was exciting, the little more adrenaline in his system added to the thrill. Just because every time wasn't somewhere new didn't mean it was any less satisfying. No. Poppy and Theo always seemed to make every single time at least as good, if not better, than the times before. And her husband was still completely clueless. Which was probably the most important fact.

The last time they saw each other was two days ago. Tonight, Theo had been working all day long and part of him wanted to see what Poppy was up to. But one of his co-workers had asked if he wanted to go get drinks. Which sounded really good in the moment. He was already leaving the restaurant a little ticked off. His boss had informed him that one of his only up coming weekends off was no longer off. They had a fancy gala to cater and their main catering chef had recently been fired. So Theo was the only one to pick up the slack, in not only heading up the staff at the event but getting everything ready the day before. He upset about loosing his days off, and he also hated catering.

Theo had been walking out the back entrance with his coworkers, laughing at some stupid joke one of them made. The air was fresh, he had his jacket that he had worn thrown over his shoulder to enjoy the cool night. It was late, close to 11:00 but he didn't have to be up early so if he had a hangover the next day it was fine. Well, his plans were cancelled as soon as he saw her. The group of chefs stopped suddenly outside of the door as they heard a voice. "Hi Theo," The familiar feminine tone stopped him in his tracks. And there she stood, the outdoor flood light casting a eerie glow over the whole scene. The bad lighting didn't change how pretty she was. Warm toned skin, dark hair, and beautiful eyes. He hated it. He hated how attracted he was to her.

"I'll catch you guys later," His voice was tense as he ushered the group to go on without him. One-by-one they all let out a goodbye and quickly went on to enjoy their night. Theo turned back to the woman in front of him. "What do you want Analise?" He questioned, arms crossed over his chest. Theo had barely been successful keeping the hurt out of his voice. Because no matter how much he wanted to hate her, he couldn't. It hurt so bad that he still loved her. It made his blood boil with rage towards himself.

She moved closer, Theo almost flinched away from her. Analise looked up at him, brown eye sad and lonely. Even if he knew the emotion was fake, he couldn't help but feel bad for her. "Theo, baby, I miss you. Don't you miss me?" Her voice was smooth like silk when she spoke to him. Theo looked away from her, looking down the street. He wanted to cry. He wanted to scream. He wanted to turn around and punch the wall. He felt her hands run up his arms. Making their way up to the side of his face. Analise forced his gaze forward. Forced him to look at her. "I think we could make things work again, you know? I want you." Before he could say another word, she pulled him forward, forcing his lips onto her's.

Theo grabbed Analise by the shoulders and pushed her roughly so that she stumbled away from him. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" He yelled, rage burning in his eyes. Because he knew what she said was a lie. She didn't feel the same way that he did. She only wanted to keep using him like she had been.

"I just thought-"

"You just thought what? I was so pathetic that I'd come crawling back to you!?" They stared each other down, Analise had tears in her eyes as he shouted at her. "You have no right coming to the place where I work! You have no right to decide that we are getting back together! You have no damn right to kiss me!" Theo clenched his jaw in frustration. She was quiet. He was finished. He didn't want to stay any longer. Not because he hated her and couldn't stand her. It was because he was afraid that he'd loose his conviction. He was afraid he would allow her to continue to hurt him like she did. "Don't come back here again. I don't want to see you," With that, he walked off. Theo ignored anything she tried to say to him. He knew that as soon as he listened he'd break.

Walking into his apartment, Theo slammed the door behind himself. Heart pounding, breath heavy, he was fuming. The main cause for his anger? The fact that he wanted to call Analise and apologize. To tell her that he didn't mean it. To say that he wanted her back. He was so angry at himself. He knew the longer he was alone, the closer he would be to calling her. Then an idea came into his mind. Maybe he would see Poppy tonight. Knowing she'd be a great distraction and outlet for his rage, he sent a short text her way. Normally when they texted there was some quips or banter back and forth. Theo wasn't interested in that. Her response was shortly after, she asked if everything was alright. 'No, not really.' Was what he wanted to say. But he said everything was fine. He did, however, make sure to let her know this time was different.

Theo had been very Poppy-centered since the beginning. He was gentle... ish. Okay, he may not have been gentle but he wouldn't exactly call what they normally did as rough. He enjoyed making her feel good. Tonight, though, was not about Poppy. It was about him. And he was angry. So he wasn't going to be nice or gentle. Far from it actually. All he wanted to do was pound her brains out.

In the past two weeks, Poppy's excitement with meeting Theo hadn't faltered in the slightest. Some locations were new, some weren't, but that didn't matter because each time was just as exciting and invigorating as the previous time. Oscar was still oblivious to everything because he was busy with his work, and whenever he was home, he wasn't really at home. His head was elsewhere, and Poppy, for once, didn't mind, because it meant he wouldn't catch on to anything taking place with her. And there was obviously a lot.

The last time they met had been two days ago, and Poppy was definitely thinking of when they could do it again. Today she'd been packed with work and she allowed herself to relax at home and do it without any worry since Oscar was out of town for two days for some sort of conference a few states over. Poppy realised it was probably the best time to meet Theo but it wasn't like they'd been very worried about being found out in the past, so Oscar's absence meant nothing, really.

She was in the middle of a few edits when she got Theo's text asking her to come over. She was mildly confused since his tone just felt different. Usually there was a little banter, some flirting, some promises, and then they agreed on a time and place. This time though, Theo got right to it, and he asked her to come to his place. She'd never been there before. Poppy knew something was wrong and she felt inclined to ask. Almost as soon as she sent the question, she wondered if she should have. They said no feelings. Did this count?

Poppy ultimately decided that there was no harm in asking a simple question when he responded to her. In any case, she wasn't going to turn down his offer. Half an hour later, she was in a cab and on the way to his place. It came at a great time, him asking her to stay over for the first time, because Oscar wasn't around so he wouldn't ask any questions. She didn't have anything to do tomorrow either. The only thing coming up was the gala, and Oscar would be home just the day before it.

Standing outside his door, Poppy rang the bell and waited anxiously. She wanted to check for any signs of something being wrong because she still had a strong feeling that something was off with him, but Poppy could also be very easily distracted by Theo so if he refused to speak and wanted to instead get right to it, then she'd happily oblige with that too.

[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Theo paced around the room. He didn't want to sit. He didn't want to stay in place. He was way too worked up to be calm and patient. His roommate, thankfully, had gone out with a study group of his and Theo had the decency to tell him to stay somewhere else. Not only would Emmett be awkward about Poppy being there, but he would also ask questions. And Theo didn't want to talk. Not a single bone in his being wanted to talk about how incredibly broken he felt. Because then those feelings would be real. As soon as he would say them out loud, he wouldn't be able to cover them up.

Grabbing the doorknob almost immediately after he heard the bell ring, Theo let Poppy in. He shut the door behind her. He didn't take a second to breathe. He didn't take a second to look at her. She had barely enough time to face him before he slammed her up against the wall. His hands grabbed her wrists and aggressively pulled them up above her head, pinning them down. Gaze blazing with fury as he stared down at her. "This isn't about you Petal," He growled in her ear, "When I said don't plan on walking tomorrow, I meant it. I'm not playing nice." This was a different Theo. A very different Theo she was dealing with. If she didn't understand that before, he made sure she did now.

Seconds later Theo kissed her roughly. Teeth pulling at her bottom lip. He was considering starting right in the entry way. If she thought just one time around was what was going to happen, she was sorely mistaken. Theo's hands pulled away from her wrists. He pulled her legs up around his waste to hoist her up in order to carry her over to his bedroom. Throwing her down on the bed, he pulled his shirt over his head in one swift movement. He wouldn't let her breathe long before he was back over top of her. Intense emotion felt in every motion he made.

It was very late, well, very early in the morning before Theo laid on his back, looking up a the ceiling. He was worn out completely. He did, however, get up to pull his sweatpants before climbing back into bed. He kept his back to Poppy. While he didn't feel that intense need to see Analise, he also didn't feel much better. Theo wasn't sure what he expected to feel after everything was said and done. Now he didn't feel angry, he only felt empty. Theo felt completely numb as he laid there before falling asleep. For the first time ever, he considered holding Poppy, just to feel her warmth. But he knew he couldn't. Because he couldn't care about Poppy. He wouldn't let it happen. It only lead to pain and anger. He'd rather feel nothing at all than hurt.

As soon as the door opened, Poppy could tell something was up with Theo. He was angry, and hiding behind something, and he wanted to let out his frustrations, which led to him calling her. It was all fine with her, of course, but she couldn't help but feel, in the moment, like she wanted to break a rule because she realised that she was a little concerned. Something was wrong and she wanted to help, but if he wanted to get it all out of his system first, then she was happy to oblige. Asking questions may only drive him up the wall more.

This time was different from most other times. For Poppy, it still felt great, but she could still sense all the anger and tension in him while they went at it. She was more tired out tonight than she'd ever been after a meeting with him, so it was a good thing she was staying behind. Briefly, she looked over at him once they were done and she was panting, a thin layer of sweat on her skin, but she ultimately chose to just go to sleep. She was exhausted. This could wait till morning.

The only reason Poppy woke up was because sun streamed in through a small slit in the curtains and fell right on her face. She blinked a few times and groaned, rolling over and not quite wanting to get up, but she wasn't going to get any sleep now so she gave up trying a few minutes later.

Instead, she got up, pulling her sweater on from the night before and padding to the kitchen. She didn't want to make herself at home but she knew something was still bothering Theo so a bit of caffeine might be what he needed, first thing in the morning. After a bit of rummaging around, she managed to find what she needed to make it, and she brought both mugs back into the room when she was done, setting Theo's down on the bedside table before she sat on the bed, beside his frame.

Since she was on his side, and not the side she slept on, there wasn't much space for her to sit, but she managed anyway, cradling the mug in her hands because it was warm. She moved one hand away from the handle only briefly, to run it through Theo's hair in an attempt to wake him up. "Hey, sleepyhead," she teased, continuing to cradle the mug again. "I made coffee." She decided not to bring it up yet. If he wanted to tell her, he would. She didn't want to pry too much.

[div class=tag]Mood[/div] umm... Breakfast?
[div class=tag]outfit[/div] for after work - shirt + messy bed hair
[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Theo was like a dead man. He slept like a log. Normally he wasn't that heavy of a sleeper, but the fact he had been so physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted the night before made him dead to the world around him. Pillow tucked in between his arm and his head, hair messy and tossed, and, while he didn't really snore, he would sigh every so often in his sleep. So he hadn't noticed when Poppy got up and left the room. It wasn't until he heard some noise coming from his kitchen that he stirred. Eyes still closed, Theo pulled his eyebrows together in confusion. Flipping over on his back, his head lazily rolled over to the side. He opened his eyes to see the covers on his bed messy, but empty. After a couple seconds of confusion, his tired foggy brain put two and two together. Ah, Poppy was making noise in his kitchen. Maybe she was hungry or something.

Theo rolled back over and resumed his sleeping position. He wanted to go back to sleep now that the mystery noise had been solved. Though soon after he made the decision to go back to dream land, he head some shuffling in his room. He felt the bed beside him shift as Poppy sat down next to him. He kept his eyes closed, maybe she'd go away if he was still sleeping. No. That guess was wrong. Soon enough he heard her voice, softly speaking to him and her hand gently combing through his hair. Frowning slightly Theo realized he wasn't going to be going back to sleep. One eye peaked open to look up at her. She was wearing the oversized sweater she came in, bare legs hanging over the side of the bed. He smirked as he flipped over on his back, propping himself up on his elbows. He pulled one hand up to run through his mop of bed hair, then back to push himself up to sitting.

He nodded at her statement that she made coffee. "Yeah, I heard. Turns out you're loud everywhere else too," He spoke, his voice gritty with sleep. He chuckled slightly. He looked over at his bedside table. He grabbed the mug and held it up to his face. Cheeks slightly flushed from sleep and eyes still tired, Theo blew on the hot coffee before taking a sip. He looked over at Poppy, watching her watch him. He could tell, as she studied him, that she had something bothering her. Part of him wanted to suggest she left, but that seemed rude. Theo wasn't the type to kick someone out. Plus, he had been... Mmm... Let's just say she at least deserved a breakfast out of him.

"Do you want breakfast?" He questioned, he knew, based on how she was looking at him, that she wanted to ask about the night prior. He wasn't exactly in the talking mood right now. "We can make bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, crepes, anything really," He suggested with a small shrug, "I'll show you my secret recipes." He gave her a smile. One that was slightly forced. A smile that told her he didn't want to talk. At least not right now. Because not only did he not really want to speak about Analise, but as soon as they talked about anything feelings related, it felt like they'd at least be bending the rules. Although, Theo isn't exactly known for being very obedient.

Poppy grinned a little as Theo sat up and commented on her being loud at pretty much anything and everything she did. "Can't really be helped," she told him with a smirk, sipping her coffee slowly since it was still pretty hot.

There was a bit of awkward silence, probably because they were both thinking the same thing. Poppy initially thought of just heading home but she also wasn't sure she should leave without saying anything.

Theo then offered breakfast and she nodded, happily agreeing. She realised now how hungry she was since she hadn't really had anything for dinner the night before, and, well, given all that happened once she came over, she had really worked up an appetite.

"I want waffles," she decided, slipping off the bed and padding barefoot into the kitchen where she assumed he would be going as well. She opted to use the counter as her seat so she hopped up and sat there, coffee mug still held between both her hands.

Though Poppy saw the expression on Theo's face, the one that said he was acting fine, but really wasn't, Poppy couldn't help herself from debating with herself. Should she ask? Or should she let it go? In all the time she'd known Theo, she'd never seen him the way he had been last night, and that alone made her feel like maybe there was something he needed to discuss with someone.

He obviously didn't want to share it with anyone, but it was probably worse sharing it with her, given their arrangement.

Regardless, in the end, Poppy just came out with it. "You don't have to talk to me if you don't want to, but I am here to listen if you choose to talk." Well, it wasn't outright asking, but he would definitely understand what it meant. She figured this was better than just asking him, point blank, whether something happened to put him off so much last night.

Besides, there was no harm in talking, right? It was like therapy. You pour your heart out but that doesn't mean you start having feelings for your therapist.

Not always, anyway.

[div class=tag]Mood[/div] Waffles first...okay?
[div class=tag]outfit[/div] A little self-conscious
[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Giving her a smile and an enthusiastic nod, Theo was pleased with Poppy's quick decision. "Waffles it is then," He replied. He watched as she made her way back into the rest of his apartment. Getting up from bed, he placed a hand on his bare chest. He sighed quietly to himself. Why did he feel so... embarrassed? Theo knew why. His confidence had been knocked down, once again, by his lovely ex girlfriend. She had a tendency to make him feel like this. Feel self-conscious and uncomfortable in his own skin. He decided, because of the uneasiness he was feeling, to throw a white t-shirt on before following her out of his bed room. It just felt wrong even if Poppy had seen way more, literally just hours ago.

Theo smiled as he saw her sitting on the counter. He thought it was cute to see her perched up there. The back of her hair was still a bit of a mess, but she looked pretty nonetheless. She always looked beautiful. His kitchen was why he chose this apartment. It was a great size, plenty of storage, and lots of counter space. Plus a double range. It was his pride and joy, even if he hadn't built it. Leaning down to one of his lower cupboards, Theo reached in to grab his waffle iron. He had two, one for bubble waffles and one for just plain old regular waffles. He decided to just get both, maybe Poppy would like a bit of gourmet flair. As he was standing up, he heard her voice. A simple sentence that told him she would listen if he wanted to talk. He felt his heart drop in his chest, his faked good mood had faultered. Theo felt pain bubble up in his chest.

Moving over to the counter he set down the waffle irons next to her. He kept his eyes down, knowing that if he looked up, she'd see just how upset he truly was. Theo clenched his teeth together, the muscle in his cheek popping, as he swallowed the lump in his throat. "Okay," He said shortly. It was more of an 'I understand' type of statement rather than one that prompted him to speak. There had always been something about Poppy. She drew him in like a magnet. It had been easy to introduce himself, even if his confidence was wobbly. It was easy to flirt with her, because she flirted right back. It was easy to break his own rules for her, because...he didn't know. Once again, without her realizing it, she was pulling him in. Theo wanted to tell her. He wanted to talk to her. Just not yet.

"I just want to make waffles right now, okay?" Theo's voice was strained, a little tense as he spoke. He didn't want to come off annoyed or grumpy. He wasn't. He only felt hesitation. "Just not...right now. Just give me some...time," He added, looking over at her with a half smile. This felt dangerous. Reckless even, to talk to her like this. Did he care? Again, he didn't. All Theo saw was what he wanted. It didn't matter if it was an infringement on their rules. He wasn't thinking of that right now. All he knew was that Poppy made him want to talk, and Theo wasn't afraid to tell her.

The moment Poppy said what she did, she wondered if she should take it back. There was no undoing what she did though. It had been said, and he heard it. Part of her was worried he'd think she was prying too much and want to end it right here and now. She'd respect his decision of course, but she'd be disappointed that she let it come in the way of something good that they had.

It was clear to see Theo's behaviour was different than normal. He wasn't his usual confident, flirty self. This was a different side to him, just like last night was a different side of him, only right now he looked more vulnerable, and she still felt the constant worry. The concern, even though she knew she shouldn't be feeling it. Despite trying as hard as she could to ignore it, she just couldn't. She wasn't the kind of person to not care. She'd ask even if he was a complete stranger.

That thought alone kept her from thinking that this was breaking any sort of rule they had in place. She'd be worried about anyone, so this was no different. Right?

Poppy was fortunately jerked from her thoughts (and of overthinking things) when Theo finally answered, saying that for now, he just wanted to make waffles. She nodded, offering him a small smile. "Of course." She wasn't going to push. She already told him that if he wanted to talk, she'd happily listen. She couldn't offer much more than that so it was up to him now.

"Well, get started then, I'm starving," she told him with a grin, attempting to lighten the mood a little by bringing back her usual quips.

Poppy remained on the counter as he went about making the waffles, and she tried to offer help wherever she could. Her cooking skills were below average though, so she thought it best that she stay away from most of the action. Soon enough, the smell of waffles filled the air and Poppy sat at the table eagerly, devouring her food the moment she had her plate set down in front of her.

[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Glad that she didn't push any further, Theo got to work. He rushed around the kitchen getting his ingredients that he needed. He again was showing Poppy everything he was doing. Explaining how to get the most perfect fluffy waffle with the most delicious crunch on the outside. When he was in culinary school, they had a chef from Belgium come in for a whole week to teach them all sorts of neat recipes, including their specialty, waffles. It wasn't difficult, just about anyone could make waffles. Theo could only laugh at how helpless Poppy was as she tried to help him. She hadn't been lying when she said she was a horrible cook.

As the waffles were cooking in the waffle iron, he started to prepare different fruits as toppings. He always had all kind of fresh ingredients. Theo never knew when the inspiration for a new recipe would pop in his head, so he always wanted to be ready with what he may need. Strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and peaches, although the peaches were canned, he was still happy to cut them up to be served over their breakfast. As well as whipped cream and syrup of course. As he cooked, Theo felt a bit more relieved. Although he knew, just under the surface, he wasn't okay.

Setting everything down at his table, Theo sat down across from Poppy. She took no time at all to stuff her face with waffles. He couldn't help but smile watching her. Feeling happy that she was happy. Theo, himself, had a waffle on his plate. He became quiet. Thinking back to all the times he had made breakfast with Analise. The one time they never actually finished because she had started a food fight. He remembered shoving a whole hand full of whipped cream in her face. She had no problem dumping the pancake batter all over his head. At the time they both died laughing. Now the memory made him want to cry.

Theo pushed cut pieces of waffle around his plate. He kept his eyes on his low and unfocused. Poppy seemed too engrossed in eating to pay much attention. Since her eyes weren't on him, he felt comfortable to say something. "It was...uuh, my ex girlfriend," He focused on the uneaten food on his plate, "So if you were worried it was something really important, than you don't have to be." His eyes moved of to the side, and then finally made their way over to Poppy. Theo knew that he couldn't hide the hurt in his gaze. The unhealed pain that she had caused. They had been broken up for four months, why did he still feel like this? Why couldn't he just be like Analise and 'loose feelings' just like that? He wondered if she ever felt anything at all. Theo had tried his best to make her love him. He had done absolutely everything right. Apparently he wasn't enough. He wasn't worth her love. And that's what hurt the most.

Poppy was honestly so busy devouring her food that she didn't notice Theo's reluctance to eat his waffles. He was shoving his food around the plate like he wasn't really interested, but Poppy only noticed something was wrong when he spoke, causing her to stop her fork halfway to her mouth, a waffle piece still stuck at the tips. He wasn't looking at her. Not at the moment, but he did eventually let his gaze find hers.

Poppy tried to let his words be digested. His ex girlfriend. So something she had done had obviously made him so angry last night, and so vulnerable this morning? Poppy had never seen him that way, so she knew that whatever she did to him, it must have been bad. Vaguely she began to wonder if she cheated โ€” that wouldn't exactly put her in a very good spot, given what she was currently doing with her own husband. And she was married.

"Why would you say that's not important?" Poppy asked him when he more or less dismissed the idea of it being important enough to worry about or discuss. Obviously it was worth a conversation if it had impacted Theo in such a way. This wasn't some momentary moodiness. He'd been off since yesterday, exhibiting a myriad of different emotions that Poppy had never really seen in him before. Of course she was concerned. Of course she thought it was important.

"I don't... I don't know what she did to make you feel this way," Poppy started off, setting down her fork and looking at Theo, though averting her gaze every so often since she knew it might be easier to talk when not looking right at each other. "And you don't need to tell me, of course. All I can say is that... if she makes you feel this way, then you're better off without her."

He didn't need a person in his life who took down that usually happy energy of his. He was always so full and bursting with life. From the moment she met him, it was almost magnetic. There was insane chemistry, and she knew that when it came down to it, he'd make someone really happy and lucky, but he didn't deserve to be put down amidst it all. If this was an ex girlfriend, then she was glad he got out of there, one way or another. He was better than that toxicity.

Of course, not actually knowing the situation, Poppy was just badmouthing a woman in her head, but she couldn't help it. She felt... protective. She shouldn't, given their rules, but she did. And she doubted that feeling would go away.

[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Theo could only hold Poppy's eye contact before he shifted his eyes back down towards the table. It wasn't that he thought that his feelings were unimportant. They were important to him. Just in the grand scheme of things, being upset that a girl didn't like him wasn't important. There were way bigger problems than what was happening to him, so he felt stupid for being this sad for this long. Because she wasn't important. Well, she shouldn't be important. All he did was shrug slightly at her question.

As Poppy started to tell him that he didn't need her, he nodded. Theo knew that. It was feeling that way that was the hard part. "Yeah, I know that up here," He responded, his eye on her as he tapped his finger against his head. "It's just feeling it here that's hard," His hand moved to his chest, gesturing to his heart. They say the heart wants what the heart wants. Well, he wanted to remove his heart so he could get rid of it's wants. Because his heart was stupid. No matter how many times he told himself not to text her back, not to go see her, not to think about her, his heart always overruled his brain.

He sighed quietly, trying to figure out if he should stop talking. Maybe he shouldn't continue. For the sake of Poppy and himself. Maybe he had said just enough for Poppy to feel better and a line not to be crossed. Maybe it was like just opening the dam a little before shutting it back up again. Or, on the other side of the coin. Maybe the damage was already done, so there was no use in holding back. He had already crossed some sort of line and now he couldn't go back.

"I just.." He started, voice dying before he could finish, "I tried so hard Poppy. I gave her everything. But my everything just wasn't enough." Had he gone too far? Possibly. Right now his brain to was far too clouded with emotion to care. He just wanted to feel normal. He had started to. But knowing that at anytime he could just crumble, was it worth being normal? Was it worth building himself up again to come crashing down to this low place? Theo didn't really know the answer to any of his questions. He had never been in love before. Just as it was new and scary, so was falling out of love. But this hurt so much worse. And it was even harder knowing he was doing it alone.

Poppy was no longer very interested in her food, so her fork had been set down on her plate until further notice. Perhaps once she knew that she'd helped in some way, or that Theo felt a little better, she'd resume eating (since the waffles tasted absolutely divine) but until then, her priorities had changed. It was dangerous, considering the rules they'd both made for themselves, but at the moment she didn't care about that.

She listened to him as he explained what he was going through and she nodded. Poppy couldn't say she related much. The only time she'd fallen in love had been with Oscar. Of course, there wasn't much to say about that either since Poppy was cheating on him with Theo. In short, she wasn't the best person to be giving out relationship advice, but she did have a few words that, in hindsight, she should apply to herself as well. But Poppy was too terrified to do that.

"I'll be honest and say that I don't know what you're going through," she told him softly, crossing her arms and keeping her gaze on him this time instead of letting it travel around. "But I do know that every relationship is hard. Especially once it's over. And it's going to take you some time to get over her," just like it might take Poppy some time to realise she no longer loved her husband the way she once did. She was just afraid of being alone. Maybe that's why she clung onto him and resorted to an affair to keep herself satisfied.

"But you can't rush these things, you know? You have to let it take its course, no matter how bad it feels. Because look at it this way: it can't get any worse. Your life is only going to go up from here, whereas she... she'll probably be going in the opposite direction."

[div class=tag]outfit[/div] A little self-conscious
[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Now Theo watched Poppy as she spoke. He held her eye contact. As she told him that things could only get better, he actually believed her. So many of his friends had told him the exact same thing. That he would one day feel better and she would just be a stepping stone in his life. Up until this point he didn't know if that was possible.

But since he started to see Poppy he began to feel his old self return. His confidence had started to resurface and he felt good about himself. She had given him hope that eventually he'd get over Analise and be able to go on with his life as it was before. Now with her saying he could only go up from here, Theo, for the first time, wanted to believe her. He knew she was right. He just wished he had a fast forward button to when everything that reminded him of her didn't hurt.

Theo gave Poppy a soft smile. One that was warm and thankful. "Thank you, that means a lot," He told her. He was glad she was here. He was glad he had called her, glad she stayed, and glad she drew him out. Should he be? Should he be happy about this? Should her words affect him this much? He shoved those questions aside. If he didn't allow this conversation to change the way things were, then they wouldn't change. He could do that. Pretend it never existed, that the words they said we're never uttered. Two people can be friendly but still not be friends.

But deep down Theo knew that wasn't the case. He couldn't undo what had happened that morning. He wouldn't forget the warmth she made him feel. The comfort she brought to him. He wouldn't forget that this feeling wasn't physical. It was emotional. While he could deny it all he wanted, it wouldn't change the fact that now something was different between Theo and Poppy. As he began to actually eat his waffles he had that feeling wash over him again. The one that he had felt at the mall. That he didn't want her to leave yet.

Still slightly bashful, Theo looked over at Poppy. "I uh," He finished chewing and swallowed before continuing, "need a shower. You wanna to join?" He looked over at her plate, and back at his own. "After you're done eating, of course," He added quickly. They could go back to normal. Be just two people with needs. Yeah right.

Poppy looked to Theo as he thanked her and she offered him a heartfelt smile. A smile that didn't hold any secret agenda, nor was it an invitation to hole up somewhere and not come out for a while till they were done. It was just reassuring, and dare she say affectionate. Things were definitely beginning to stir within her, and Poppy knew that wasn't a good thing, but she told herself that it was just the weight of the conversation. That it didn't have to mean anything serious unless they let it become serious. Theo wasn't doing that, so why should she?

Still, she had to admit that she felt a little better now, knowing that she'd done something to help Theo feel better. It was true that she felt something almost magnetic whenever she was around him, and at first, she thought her reluctance to leave his side was purely to do with the fact that he was finally able to give her what she'd been looking for after so long โ€” and more than that too. Now though, she wasn't so sure that was the only thing that kept her around.

It was just that things were easier when she was around Theo. Of course, aside from occasionally worrying about being caught for the affair, whenever she was with Theo, she felt happy. Her time away from him... well, she felt less happy. For the time being, and not wanting to jeopardise their relationship, Poppy decided that this was more out of thrill than anything more. Things were currently a little tense in the atmosphere and she didn't want it to stay like that.

So, when Theo brought up needing a shower, Poppy's food was more or less forgotten.

"I'm done," she flashed a grin, trying to go back to normal as she rose to her feet and walked over to him, taking his hands in hers in an attempt to tug him out of the chair. She didn't actually know where his bathroom was so she trusted him to to lead the way. For the moment though, she just leaned forward and kissed him.

[div class=tag]Mood[/div] Back to normal....right?
[div class=tag]outfit[/div] A little self-conscious
[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] Theo felt giddy that Poppy had decided so quickly that she was finished eating. Her excited pulling on his hands made him smile. He couldn't help but grin as she kissed him. Pulling away to look at her, he smiled wider. "You taste like maple syrup," He commented with a chuckle. He wasn't saying it was a bad thing, it just was funny to him. Holding one of her hands, Theo pulled her into his bedroom and then into the on suit bathroom, shutting the door behind him. Although they were alone, he never knew when Emmett would be back.

He had always been a fan of doing it in the shower. One of his favorite spots. Getting dirty while getting clean was fun to him, and it could always put him in a good mood. Well, Poppy also always put him in a good mood. There was also the added plus of having someone else wash your hair or back which would always be a bonus. Theo pulled her closer, leaning in to kiss her again. His hands trailed up under her sweater. He felt the fuzzy tingling sensation he always felt when being with Poppy. Even if he ignored it, something definitely felt different this time. Not a bad different. Theo came away with the same satisfaction that he was used to. He brushed it off quickly, chocking it up to the waffles or something.

A towel around his waist, Theo leaned up against the bathroom counter watching Poppy get ready. "I have a question, I've been curious for awhile now," He voiced, getting her attention. He smirked slightly, feeling his confidence rise as the day went on. She had the tendency to do that to him. "Where is the most adventurous place you've ever done it with Mr. Walsh?" Although he knew the answer was probably the foot of the bed, he wanted to know. Just how boring was Mr. Walsh? He could guess in his mind based on how Poppy reacted to himself, but maybe the dude would surprise Theo. Or maybe it was just as he expected. Vanilla.

Poppy giggled a little at the comment of maple syrup but didn't really comment any further because they were already off, Theo leading her to his bedroom and then the adjoining bathroom. As the door was shut, she turned to face the mirror, stretching her arms over her head and letting out a small yawn from the sleepiness that remained. It was a lazy weekend. It felt kind of nice to wake up, having a nice hearty breakfast, and then go at it with Theo in the shower. Poppy would likely head home immediately after, but until then, it was a nice way to start off the day on a good note.

Even if they really started off on a slightly more awkward note.

With that out of the way for the time being though, they both easily slipped back into old habits, which Poppy was glad for. She didn't want anything jeopardising this whole arrangement. It made her happy and she liked to think that it did the same for Theo as well.

They wasted no time getting to it, and it was hard for Poppy to ignore the fact that things felt a little different this time around. It was all in a good way, of course, but after their little exchange in the morning, and actually talking through feelings, she couldn't help but feel like they were just involved now. She was afraid to say it out loud though, for what it would mean for this whole arrangement, and opted to just remain ignorant about it. Unless it posed actual questions in her head that were messing with her, she would force herself to remain blissfully unaware.

Poppy had slipped her sweater back on and used a spare towel of Theo's to dry her hair since it got wet in the shower. She was looking into the mirror as she did it, but she met Theo's gaze through the glass when he asked her a question, causing her to arch an eyebrow in amusement. "Really? That's what you're curious about?" She chuckled softly and set the towel down on the counter before turning to face him. "Probably the couch in his parents house. Which, if you know him, is an absolutely wild thing to do," Poppy laughed. Oscar had always been very against doing anything under the roof of his parents house, but, well, after a fight one day, it just sort of happened.

"Don't worry. All the excitement happens with you," she assured Theo with a smirk, leaning in to plant a fleeting kiss to his lips before she headed out of the bathroom. It probably was the easiest way to dismiss her sex life with her husband, but that's what it had come to. Poppy wasn't really hoping to dig deeper and see if it all meant something more.

After pulling on her jeans, Poppy turned to Theo. "See you soon," she told him, knowing it wouldn't be very long till they met each other again for another adventure.

[div class=tag]Mood[/div] Oh, well that's a surprise
[div class=tag]outfit[/div] Ahh, this is familiar
[div class=tag]tags[/div] natasha. natasha. [/div][/div] [div class=maintext][div class=scroll] This was the day Theo had dreaded. Well, he had also dreaded the day before as well. He worked for hours doing prep work for today. It was a hectic mess because the old catering chef hadn't left proper instructions, probably just to screw him over. That might be a bit harsh, but still, it felt that way. He would have much rather of had a few friends over this weekend like he had been planning. Or maybe met up with Poppy again. Or both. But now he had to be stuck setting up and running catering the whole entire evening. Nothing irked him more than catering.

Theo was used to the rich snob customers that came into his restaurant. He didn't often have to deal directly with them, that was mostly the wait staffs jobs. But in catering, especially being in charge, he would be directly dealing with a whole room of rich snobs and their employees. Only people with a fat stack of cash to blow could afford to hire their restaurant, so it was always some heiress's wedding or a random banquet. This time it was a Gala of some sorts. He wasn't sure if it was charity related or if it was just because. If it was charity he might feel bad for bellyaching to Emmett for a week.

He knew that once everyone was served and dessert was finished, his job was mostly done. He could just hang around. Maybe he'd find someone to chat up. Maybe he'd get lucky. Who knew. Theo knew that Poppy wasn't one to share, but she wasn't here. Therefore he could flirt with whoever he wanted. He ignored the tiniest voice in the back of his mind that nagged him saying it was wrong. Because it didn't matter.

Theo had been focused on his job, making sure things were put together and well organized. While talking with a waiter about some orders that came back, he scanned the room. That was when he stopped. Like completely stopped in his spot. Frozen in place because of who he saw. His eyebrows pulled together. Why was Poppy here? How did she know? His train of thought was now derailed. All he could do was ask questions. And appreciate how incredible she looked. Then he noticed. She was standing next to familiar face. A face he had only seen once in a picture frame but recognized immediately. There he was, in the flesh, Mr. Vanilla himself.

He wondered if she had her phone on her. Should he text her? Did she know he was here? Why did he care if she knew if he was here? Poppy was with her husband, it would be too risky to try something. Right? He should feel nervous, or uneasy. I mean, they could get found out. But he didn't feel either of those things. He couldn't place what he felt. All he knew was he wanted Poppy to know he was there. Then he'd stop. Theo stood in a place out of the way enough not to call attention to himself, but out in the open enough to be seen. He sent a quick message to Poppy. "Look up" was all he wrote. Now he's just have to wait for her to see him. Was this a bad idea? Probably.

Unfortunately, Poppy hadn't gotten to spend much time with Theo after the last time they met. She got busy with work and he did too, and to top it all off, Oscar came back to town and had taken a day off to relax and unwind before the gala. It was being hosted by the boss of his company so he needed to be on his best behaviour to schmooze as many potential clients as he could. Poppy usually wasn't a fan of all the shop talk but she did enjoy the excuse to dress up a little, and the extravagant food would be an added bonus. All she had to do was smile and play the part of the devoting wife. And not the cheating wife.

Her and Oscar had arrived a little early but there were already plenty of people around. Her husband got to work talking to people and she just stood by his side, smiling away and keeping up the facade that only she knew about. She wanted to leave as soon as possible, which, she knew, could become a point of tension later on with Oscar who, for once in his life, would want to stay out late so he could butter up as many people as possible to get a promotion.

Whatever the case, nothing prepared her for what happened next. She'd been close to yawning as Oscar spoke to some guy who was prattling on about some new software that Poppy didn't particularly care about, when she got a text from Theo. Of course she was going to open it, because that was at least more interesting than what she was currently forced to partake in so she shifted to the side, preventing Oscar from seeing, while she opened up the text.

The words confused her. Look up? Was that meant to be some kind of joke? Or was there a line that he was going to follow it up with? In any case, her reaction was instinctual, and she looked up without meaning to. As soon as she did though, her gaze locked onto a familiar face in the distance, and Poppy froze. What the hell was Theo doing here? Staring at him for a few moments longer, Poppy recognised his uniform. His restaurant was the caterer for this gala. What were the chances?

Poppy realised her grip on her champagne glass tightened a little because having Theo and Oscar in the same room sounded like a terrible idea, yet she needed to speak to Theo. Immediately.

"Everything okay, sweetie?" Oscar had noticed her faraway look and Poppy looked back at him, putting a smile on her face.

"Yeah," she nodded. "I'm just going to check what they have for appetisers. I'm a little hungry," she informed him. He barely gave it a second thought since he was involved in another conversation with someone else, and Theo fortunately stood close to the table of food so it wouldn't raise any suspicion.

She walked over as quickly as she could, in the hells she had on. "What are you doing here?" She asked Theo almost as soon as she reached him, champagne glass still in her hand. Of course she knew what he was doing her but that was the first thing to leave her mouth, on instinct.
