tonight.” He steps back, beaming at me, and walks back to the movie theater.
I didn’t realize I’m holding my breath, until Levi walks back into the theater. I know I couldn’t stand here in the lobby, so I go back in. I’m more graceful this time and sit back down. Marley looks at me, and I know that she’s worried for me. I just pat her hand, and she nods knowing that I’m fine.
I sit staring at the back of Levi’s head. The Bunny next to him whispers something in his ear, but he waves her away. I see her look behind at me, but I’m pretending to look at the screen. I’m still not sure what Levi’s game is, but I will play along, just for a little bit.
The movie is finally over, and everyone begins to file out. Levi and the girl are in front of us as we walk into the lobby. I notice that she’s trying to gain his attention, but he is acting very nonchalant to her.
“Ok, spill it. I know something happened.” As Marley and I head back to my place, I tell her everything that happened between Levi and me in the lobby.
“Are you going to go?” Marley’s eyes widen waiting for my answer.
“If Trevor found-”
“For once, do something for you and don’t worry about Trevor.” I understand what she is saying, but it’s hard not to think about my twin brother. “If nothing else, think about that sex you’re not having and the sex you could be having with Levi.”
“What? Are you kidding me with all this sex talk?”
“Hey.” Marley throws her hands up in surrender. “I am just trying to point out the obvious. You need some stress relief and that hot hockey player can be an amazing relief.” I can’t help, but bark out a laugh at her. I love my best friend because she knows what to say to make me feel better.
She bumps my shoulder as we get back to the parking lot by my apartment. “So, are you going?” She opens her car door and looks at me.
I look down at the ground and shrug my shoulders.
“Well, call me either way. Love ya.” She hops in her car and drives away.
I stand in the parking lot for a minute, thinking about Levi and Trevor. No matter what I do someone will be angry. My main problem is I know Levi has something up his sleeve, and I don’t like it, but I want to know what it is. Maybe I can just go tonight and then tell him that I’m not interested in whatever game he’s playing. Yes, that’s going to be my plan.
I look down at my clothes and I know I need to change. I race up my stairs to my apartment because midnight is going to be here soon.
I’m wearing a pair of jeans that make my ass look fabulous, a v-cut light green sweater, and my favorite black knee-high boots. Now, I’m standing outside of Lou’s, and I can see Levi sitting there picking at a plate of fries all alone.
I stick my chin out, square my shoulders, and walk right into the diner towards Levi. He looks me up and down right before I sit across from him in the booth.
“Well, I’m very surprised that you came tonight.” He’s leaning back in the booth in a very relaxed pose.
“I’m here. Where is the Bunny? Did she have a curfew or were you just that quick?”
“Wow, slamming my manhood already, Pres.” He comes in closer to me. “Would you like to know how long I can last?” His seductive voice drives me crazy, but I’m focusing on my task.
“I guess I have three minutes to spare.” I shrug like it isn’t a big deal to me. Levi laughs at my remark.
“Oh, Smarty, it will be much longer than three minutes when you’re in my bed.” My heart rate rises and my breath quickens. I have to get away from this sex talk and fast.
“What is your angle, Levi? Just tell me,” I firmly say.
“Angle? You think that I’m trying to trick you?” he questions me like I’m making this up.
“Yes because I don’t understand why you’re trying so hard to get with me.”
“Would you like to know my answer?” He is getting closer to me as I nod. He clears his throat. “I’m attracted
