Part 14: Trust Another

I was laying on the sofa with Levi's flannel wrapped around me, and my legs on his lap.

He placed his laptop on my legs, rubbing my ankle with one hand, "Think I should make a TikTok too?"

"Don't do it," I mumbled, playing Among Us on my phone.

"Can't believe you two really got together," Jace said, shaking his head.

Some of the boys came back from the skating rink. I was surprised they didn't question me about my panic attack.

"I can believe it," Levi smirked, and I gently kicked his stomach with the back of my heel, giving him a look.

Lian came through the door shirtless with his sweater over his shoulder.

He took the jule out of his mouth and looked at me. He smelled like strawberries.

"Saw what happened earlier, everything alright?"

Levi squeezed my ankle a bit, trying to let me know he's here for me. It was little gestures like these that made me feel something I couldn't explain.

"I'm fine," I smiled.

Lian shrugged and went over to the audio controls, "Good shit."

He had so many tattoos, and he looked like all those Kpop boys I'd crush on. That was before I realized that I'd literally never get with one of them in my life.

Levi saw me studying Lian's tats, and he pinched my thigh.

"Ow! Dum dum head!"

He chuckled, before reaching over to sit me up and lay me against his side. "Do I need to get a tattoo so you'll look at me like I'm Prince Charming too?"

"No," I said quickly, then grinned evily at him, "but if you want to...be my guest~"

I looked at the screen of his computer. He was designing a logo.

"What's that for?" I asked.

"For when I'm big," he smiled, "it's a secret."

I squinted, "But you have no secrets."

"Do I? Or do I not?"

I pouted and he pinched my lips together, "So damn cute."

I hid my face in his side as he started to laugh.

"What time do you need to be home, songbird?"

I shrugged, "Any time before twelve."

He nodded and I felt my phone vibrate.

Macho Milo 🤑:

Where are you Amora?!
I've tried calling 20 times

I looked at my recents. He really had blown my phone up too many times to count. I don't remember putting my phone on silent.

He probably thought I was kidnapped. Not good.

Me:

I'm alright.
I promise.

He answered immediately.

Macho Milo 🤑:

Did you catch a ride home?

Me:

I have one.
