eyes would match his own. She admired his chocolaty brown waves and stared almost unwillingly into his eyes as if they were magnetic. “Babe, I love you. We’ll figure this out. I just need a little bit more time.”
    She nodded, “I know.”
    He kissed her softly on the lips, when he broke away he said, “I’ll see later.”
    “ Sure, later.” She whispered as he walked away.
    It wasn’t the way she wanted to weekend to end, but sometimes you can’t plan out life the way you want it to go.

    Victoria was still in her pajamas when Levi showed up the next Saturday to have some alone time before Claire’s birthday celebration. Victoria was holding up various outfits for him to choose from; she appreciated getting his input. There is only one guy she wanted to look good for and she knew that Levi liked getting a say in what she put on.
    After trying on multiple outfits she said, “It’s not fair that you get to watch me have a fashion show, and I don’t get to see your sexy butt in some jeans.”
    Levi smirked at her and moved behind her so she could see him in the mirror. He whispered, “I’d rather see you out of those jeans.” She laughed before moving to the attached bathroom and stood behind the bathroom door fanning herself. That boy sure did know how to make her feel good.
    She was brushing her teeth as he said, “So what’s the plan for tonight? Like what time are people getting together?”
    She stood up to turn off the running water in the sink when she said, “Claire should be here in a couple hours and then I guess we’re meeting her friends at nine.”
    She emerged from the bathroom to see him sitting on the bed, “Friends of hers from school?”
    Leaning on the doorframe she said, “Yeah, I think so. Just a few girls and their boyfriends. It might be kind of weird though; Claire is the only one who doesn’t have a steady boyfriend right now.”
    Levi laughed, “Does she ever?” He looked smug.
    “ You shut up.  That was me for a long time, remember? Before I found you.”
    He stood up slowly, t he bed creaking with his release, and approached her. Placing his hand on the side of her neck he kissed her opposite cheek. Lingering, he continued to lay sweet kisses along her neck until he reached the top of her camisole. He took a single finger and pushed the thin strap slowly off of her shoulder allowing his lips to continue down to her collarbone. Whispering against her skin he said, “Aren’t you glad you found me?”
    Victoria could feel her heart thumping within her chest. This was when Levi’s love could get dangerous.
    She tossed her head back, “Yes.”
    “ Show me,” he said, daring her.
    For the next hour Victoria put all of her effort into proving to Levi how much she appreciated him. The tension had faded away from the weekend before and she began thinking more about their future and the promise she had made him. Lying on his bare chest tangled up in the sheets she thought about how this would feel if it were every day.
    “What time is it?” Levi asked shaking her out of her beautiful thoughts.
    She sat up slightly, “I don’t know, why?”
    Levi reached over to the bedside table and grabbed his watch, “I have an appointment before we go out tonight.”
    Victoria pulled the sheets up around her body and sat up completely, “An appointment? On my best friend’s birthday?”
    Levi hopped out of bed and started to pull his pants on. “It won’t take me long, I promise.”
    “ Is this something for work? On a Saturday?”
    Levi turned away from her, “Uh, yeah, I have to go in to the office and get something quickly. Chat with a client, shouldn’t be more than a couple hours.”
    “ So are you coming back here first, or meeting us there?”
    “ Uh,” he turned back to face her while buttoning up his shirt, “I’ll send you a text. I’m really sorry to run off like this, I had no idea how late it was! Claire is going to be here any minute.”
    He quickly
