A Blinded Heart

Chapter 4

The drive to my condo was rather quiet. The only thing that could be heard was the roaring of the engine of Levi's car, as he sped through the streets as if he was the only one in the car. I guess it was just a habit.

I held onto my seatbelt as tight as I could and closed my eyes as thoughts surged through my mind. Am I going to die? Why is he driving so fast? Is this how it all ends?

I was then brought back to reality when I heard soft chuckles coming from beside me. I opened my eyes to see Levi staring at me with a rather cute smirk on his face. "Mi Amore, we have arrived," he said in a thick Italian accent. I didn't know Italian too well but I could tell that he called me "love ".

Heat rushed to my cheeks making me blush, but thank god for my skin complexion that it didn't show how much he affected me. We stared at each other for a few more seconds before I broke eye contact with him and grabbed my purse while thanking him for dropping me home and left the car.

I began walking towards the entrance of my condo when I felt warm, strong arms wrap around my waist pulling me into what felt like someone's chest. I gasped looking up to see Levi's lips two inches away from mine. My whole body went numb as I felt butterflies fluttering in my body.

This feeling sent shivers down my spine. Levi then moved his lips towards my ears and started chuckling, he knew how much he affects me. "I will pick you up at 7:00 and don't be late," he said as his lips brushed past my ears. He then winked at me before turning around and heading back to his car. I watched as he drove off before I entered the building.

My body was still in shock as I walked towards the elevator and pressed the button to go to my floor. I kept on thinking about how Levi affected me and how it drove me crazy that he knew It was. I then came to my senses when the elevator dinged, alerting me that I had arrived on my floor.

I walked towards my door and opened it to see Maia pacing back and forth with her phone towards her ears as she shouted into it. I couldn't understand what she was saying but she seemed angry. I closed the door and that's when she stopped pacing and ran to me hugging me and making sure I was okay.

I was somewhat confused at the gesture and then she started shaking me and telling me she was worried sick and thought I was kidnapped. I reassured her that everything was okay and told her everything about Levi and how he had asked me on a date.

She then asked me if I was talking about the famous Levi King, I seriously did not know what she was talking about, she then saw the confused look on my face and showed me a photo of Levi on the front of a magazine with a white t-shirt on and a pair of black jeans as he stood in the ocean. "That's him," I said, pointing at the picture. I didn't know that he was famous or what seems to be the bachelor of the season. The only thing I wanted to know was why he chose to go on a date with me when he could've had any other girl in the city.

"Well look at you scoring the bachelor of the season and here I thought I would've found someone first," she said walking into the kitchen as I followed her.

I just shrugged at her comment and asked her to pass me a bottle of water as she stood in front of the fridge thinking about what to make for breakfast. I took the water and headed towards my room to take a shower.

I wanted to get the scent of alcohol off my body and slip into some comfortable clothes and just stay in bed until it was time for me to get ready for my date with Levi.

A few hours later

I finally woke up after a long nap and the first thing I did was check my phone to see what time it was.
