Chapter 29 Determined not to dwell on the past Theon looked at his son who looking back at him with undisguised curiosity. "Can I show you my toys?" Alex asked. Theon nodded. Naomi laughed softly behind him and stood in the kitchen watching as Theon' crouched down on the floor next to his own mini me, while Alex started pulling some toys from his box in the corner of the room. He was meticulously explaining what each one was and why he loved them while Theon was hanging off his every word like it was the most interesting thing he ever heard. Naomi let herself feel for a moment that maybe this could be a good thing. Lottie was next to her, watching the scene as well. "Okay, I am going to leave you guys to it" she said quietly to Naomi "Are you going to give him a chance?" she asked, her eyes flitting back between Naomi and Theon. "because I personally would love to see more of this" with that Lottie kissed her on the cheek and left Naomi standing there with her thoughts watching the man who broke her heart and the boy who healed it and not knowing what the right choice was. Right, no more overthinking this just enjoy the moment she thought. An hour later Alex had his medicines and was snug back in his bed asleep after insiting on two bed time stories from his dad. Naomi was sat on the sofa and Theon settled down next to her. She tried to pretend his close proximity didn't affect her and she wasn't enjoying it but then he put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her to his chest. Theon let out a content sigh and in that moment Naomi's resolve to be mad at him and to stay strong and not let him win was all gone and all she wanted to do was stay like this forever. With her head on his chest listening to his slow and steady heartbeat and its comforting rhythm while his arms were around her and he left gentle kisses on the top of her head. Naomi turned her head to look at him and found the intensity in his eyes hard to resist. Before she even considered what was happening or the implications of it Theon was kissing her and she was kissing him back. It was a slow and soft kiss of two people unsure of how to start but it soon became something more with Theon's hands snaking around the back of her head and gripping her hair trying to pull Naomi as close as possible. Pulling back, and slightly out of breath Naomi tried to regroup a moment before she did anything she might regret. "I'm getting deja vu." She said to lighten the tension Standing up and taking Naomi's hand Theon grinned mischievously. "Remember how that ended?" and started leading her to what he assumed was her bedroom. Part of her wanted to 1/2 +15 Bonus tell him to go away and leave her alone. The part of her that wasn't fully healed. But she also hadn't slept since anyone since that night and she still remembered, vividly how amazing he had felt against her bare skin. It didn't have to mean anything did it? Naomi knew she was lying to herself Theon stopped and kissed her again and at that point there was no stopping this.
