Apology Accepted

Chapter 12

So quick summary for those who skipped the last parts of the last chapter. 

So some weird dude broke into the lockers, scared Taylor but don't worry because Levi and Oliver were there to save the day! Taylor doesn't want to face her family just yet and is in need of a distraction so Levi takes her out for a bite to eat. And now we are here. 

Does this make sense? If not, just comment your questions and I'll answer them. 

I have no new characters to introduce so here's a turtle to brighten your day! Anyone I might have forgotten or you want to see who I envision when I refer to them?

I've always heard people say riding a motorcycle felt like flying. They were wrong. It is the most terrifying thing I've done in my life.

"Slow down! Are you trying to get us killed?" I scream into his shoulder, my eyes squeezed shut.

"This is a bike, it's meant to go fast," he shouts back, the smirk ever-present in his voice.

I want to respond but he takes a turn which makes my grip him tighten. The wind is whipping my hair back and I shiver. How can he ride this thing every day and not have a cold all the time? Now that I think about it I've never even seen him with a stuffy nose.

I hide my face in his shoulder the rest of the way. When we finally stop I make no attempt to move.

It's because you like feeling Levis's abs under his shirt.

No, it's not, I just don't think I could move if I wanted to.

Which you don't.

Shut up.

"Hunter, I know you like me but you need to let go at some point," Levi says with a chuckle. I like how it feels when he laughs.

"I don't think I can move," I inform him, face still on his shoulder.

"Can't or won't?"

"My legs are shaking you jerk," I told him dragging my arms away from him.

"I think I'm going to have bruises, where did you gain that strength?" he asks, lifting up his shirt to look at his stomach.

Don't look don't look don't look. Oh hey there.

Those are some nice abs. Nice and present. I wonder what it would feel like to run my fingers down them. What about my tongue?

WHOA. What was that thought?

I leaned back and forced myself to stand but my legs weren't ready for my weight. I begin to sway but Levi is quickly at my side.

"You weren't joking were you baby girl?" he says, his voice laced with something slightly new. Concern? Guilt? Probably not but still, something new.

I try to keep breathing as his hand snakes around my waist and presses me towards him.

"Come on, let's get you something to eat," he says as we walk towards the door, which he opens for me and lets me go in first.

"What a gentleman." I tease but still, a warm feeling grows in my belly.

"You say it like you ever doubted me."

"Now why would I do that?" I ask teasingly but his face turns serious. Oh no.

"Hey, I really am sorry about what happened earlier. If I had known the back door wasn't locked I would have checked the room."

"Hey, we are over that. We are here for the food. Now, where are we?" I ask looking around.
