When Devils Smile

Fifteen

It has been a successful one week of ignoring Devon, I didn't show up at the bench outside of his work. I didn't see him (or Issy) at the club, I didn't see him around here and I feel like I can finally breathe...

But I'm bored.

Overly so.

Overly so that I contemplated responding to my dad, which wasn't a good thought. Val stole my phone and didn't give me it back for half a day. But I finally got it back today and I recived a text.

From Devon.

I squint my eyes at it and try to analyse what he means;

"Levi, want to come round?"

Hm, what could it mean?

I start pacing back and forth as I re-read the message a hundred times over, Sky comes down the stairs with Ivy in hand and she gives me a weirded out look.

"What are you doing you little freak" she says and jumps on the couch, Ivy sitting close next to her.

"Yeah, what are you doing you freak" I roll my eyes at Ivy and look to Sky, I rush to her and shove my phone in her face and she squeaks.

"What does this mean?" I question and she raises a brow reading my text.

"What does come over mean?" She questions and I nod, then she glances at Ivy who only snorts. "I think it means to go over oh wise one" she pushes my arm away and I shake my head.

Sitting on the coffee table so I'm in front of her, she rolls her eyes at that. "Oh great, he's staying" she mutters but I waft her away.

"Yes but why, what's he going to do?" Sky raises a brow and I huff, "last time I saw him Devon I felt-" my cheeks go red at that and I cut myself off, "I don't know. Forget that, last time I saw him I left in such a hurry, I just ditched him when we were supposed to be hanging out" she opens her mouth but I cut her off.

"Well not hang out hang out, we don't hang out. It's not like a thing- well, it's kind of become our thing, not that we have a thing! But I do have a thing where I go to a cafe and he tags along. Anyway" I shake my head and Sky slowly starts to grin, I raise a brow. "What?"

"Does our little Levi have a crush?" Emmet soon walks in but he stops on his spot.

"Levi has a who now?" He turns to us and raises a brow as my cheeks go even more red.

"No I don't! She's being crazy, you're being crazy" I turn to her and shake my head because that is impossible, Devon is the most annoying person ever. Of course I don't, I just like when we hang out- not that we hang out.

But I haven't missed his at all this week, I've just been feeling... bored.

"He totally does" Em starts to smirk and I hit him on his arm.

"Shut it you, I really don't" I defend myself but no one is having it.

"Wow, I've never seen him like this. He's blushing" Em throws his hands up like it's a miracle and I roll my eyes.

"I don't have a crush on him!" I yell out at the three childish people laughing like it's the highlight of their day to torment me. But soon Val is walking through the door.

"You have a crush?" He questions walking past me and ruffling my hair, I bite my lip at that. No way am I letting them lie to Val saying I have a crush on his cousin. He'll kill me, or worse. Tease me about it.

"No, no I don't. I don't like anyone. I'm not a people person remember? In fact I hate all of you and I'm leaving now" I go to the door and rip it open.
