i woke up with Levi facing me, he must have flipped over during the night. i feel butterflies in my stomach. i get up to go use the washroom, i look in the living room and no one is there, i grab my phone to text tate "where are you guys??". he responds "we're at home we thought you
dipped?", "no i'm still here", "dude where'd you sleep?", "in levi's room" i admit, to which he responds "oh". i decide to grab my shoes and just go. i walk home with my eyes low, dreaming of conversations we'll have tomorrow. i get home and flip onto my light green bed. his sharp jawline still in the back of my eyelids. i text the group chat "should we do something with levi tomorrow?", tate responds "cant sorry", annie says "wish i could i've got classes" "i'm gonna be busy sorry bray" ryan admits. shit, 5 minutes later tate texts me "here Brayden's number 😉".
tate knows, tate always knows. i add levi as a contact and message him "hey Levi it's brayden, was wondering if you wanted to hang out tmr? if not no worries" i debate hitting send but i slam my finger on the button so i don't have time to think about it. i regret almost as soon as i did it. i throw my phone across the floor and smushed my face into my pillow, i try not to disappear again just before i slip into the void i hear a *ding*. some one texted me, i bolted up and grabbed my phone off the floor. it was levi, the text read "ya that would be awesome, my place or yours, or we could grab a bite to eat or something😁". Levi didn't strike me as the kind of person to use emojis but i respond "it's up to you"
not wanting to be and issue. my phone starts ringing. i look at the call screen and see levi's name displayed, i debate declining it. but i pick up anyways.
"hey" i say, "hey man, there's this really good coffee place i thought we could go there then maybe head back to you place?" levi suggest. "y...ya that sounds good, what time?", he responds with "what's you address i'll pick you up at 5", i'm nervous and my hands are shaking but i manage to type out my address in out messages. "alright, sounds good brayden i'll pick you up tomorrow". "ya sounds good, thank you" i respond. "by the way brayden about the other night are you sure your doing ok?"
"oh i...ya it just kind of happens some times i'm sorry"
"don't be sorry man, we've all got shit"
he says and i smile "thank you for checking in Levi i'll see you tomorrow" i hang up with a smile on my face. i lay on my back in bed and smile at my ceiling.
