UnderWater

Chapter 18

Levi's couch had become my favorite lazy spot in his house. He tried to peel me off of it, but the couch and I had melted and become one.

I was resting my eyes after a few hours of continuously looking at my sketchbook, while my hand and mind do the work - In an artistic way, that is. When I feel a gentle hand on my head.

I peeked through my lashes, and discovered a pair of grey orbs looking at me with a gentle smile.

A faint blush crept onto my face. I opened my eyes slowly, staring back at those charming grey eyes; Couldn't take my eyes off them.

"Hey.." he said, his hand was still on my mop of brown hair.

"Hi.." I greeted back, extending my hands to pull his face towards mine. He complied easily, as he knows what comes next.

I smiled when his warm lips grazed mine. And my smile only grew wider, when our lips locked for a short moment. It was a quick one, but it gave my heart a tingling warm sensation. A feeling that I haven't had for a long time.

"You smell like tea," I breathed in; our faces were still inches apart. "I just had one," His grey orbs were still eyeing my lips. Clearly waiting for a continuation. So I gave him one.

As our lips were reunited again, he placed his hand on the back of my head and the other travelled down my clothed torso. Then pulling me to him more.

Our kiss deepened in a short time, when the tip of his tounge graze lightly upon my lower lip asking for entrance. I comply.

Our angle was a bit awkward, with him standing behind the sofa bend slightly over it and me sitting with my head tipped back. It gave him more control.

And I'm more than willing to give him the control today. Other days? There would be a little fight from my side.

His tongue left hot traces inside my mouth, giving me pleasant shivers down my spine. Feeling a bit playful, I lightly tug at his.

As if accepting the challenge, Levi picked up the pace and deepened the kiss even more. Making me even more breathless. I pulled away to catch my breath with a face flushed from the tip of my ear to my neck. Wiping the drool at the side of my mouth, with unfocused eyes still trained at him.

He gave me a smug face as he licked his lips, a small action that had mess me up in the inside in more than one time, "You're too early to try to challenge me, brat," then he turned around towards the kitchen, glancing back at me and his gaze lingered on my face. "... Not bad, I could eat you right now," I caught his smirk before he turn his head again.

I was lost of words. Yet, I wouldn't mind being 'eaten' by him right then and there though.

Really though, who would reject a chance to be eaten by that sexy beast. Just look at those defined muscles and that perfectly-shaped round ass. Oh, how would it feel to have those strong hands around my hips, with my legs around his waist. And the feeling of his sculpted back. And how would it look like when it's decorated by my scratch marks.

Oops, better stop drooling, Eren.

After slapping myself from daydreaming, I finally stood up from the couch and joined my him in the kitchen. "Whatcha doin'?"

"Well, I'm apparently hungry, and it's apparently almost dinner time. So I'm making us dinner." He answered while grabbing some ingridients from the fridge, casting a deadpan glance to me as if the answer was obvious.

I looked out to the nearest window to find the sky had begun to turn from a dark orange colour, fading to a dark blue. Then casting a glance at the clock on the kitchen wall, it was indeed almost dinner time.

Only replying with a soft 'o' after taking in on how many hours I had been lost in my own world, till I lost track of time. I started to feel bad for not paying any attention to him, instead just drowning myself in my sketchbook.

I tried to think about something to make it up to him. Today was supposed to be just for the two of us spending time together, but stupidly, I ruined it unintentionally. Still though, if my brain could just came up with something..

"..en..Eren... Eren." I flinched on my sit, and gave him an innocent questioning hum indicating I was back.

He softly sighed, his face was full of concern. "Sorry.." I muttered feeling really guilty, the familiar heavy feeling begun to creep on me.

"Are you okay?" He asked, setting a small bowl of soup and a plate of potatoes and salad infront of me.

"...yeah, it's nothing.." I brushed off the thoughts that began to darken in my mind, I wouldn't want to ruin the rest of the day again.

Levi stayed quiet for a moment, observing me. Then he grabbed a plate for himself, and made his way to sit next to me.

We chatted a little through dinner, Levi wasn't a fan of eating while talking. He said it was disgusting, but I, being a chatter-box, sometimes forget about it. Well, at least I swallowed first before talking. Hey, I still have etiquette.

I insisted on cleaning the dishes, which he innitially rejected and then gave in. He excused himself to take a shower, after showing me his standard of clean.

Still focusing on scrubbing away the oil on the pans and plates, I was startled by a pair of arms that snuck their way around me.

The scent of fresh citric orange and mint overwhelmed my sense of smell. "You smell nice," I took another whiff of his fresh-soapy scent.

"And you look sexy doing the dishes," I couldn't help but laughed at his response.

"What can I say, you and clean dishes are in my top favorite list." He added, shrugging his shoulders.

"I'm honored then, Mr. Do-it-till-its-squeaky-clean." I joked,

"You're welcome, and you're doing great with it, by the way." He said pointing the dishes with his chin,

He stayed like that for awhile, while I do the rest of the dishes. Just enjoying each other's warmth. Then we moved to the couch, just glued together. Levi was spread out on the couch, while I laid on top of him listening to his heart beat with eyes closed.

"Eren..."
"Hmm??"
"Why not stay till Monday?"

I stayed silent for awhile, thinking about my schedule for next week."I could.. but I got to go early for work,"

"How early?"
"Needed there around seven," I looked up at him, finding him looking at me while his hands still playing with my brown locks.

"I could make you breakfast and wake you earlier. Then drive you to Rose's station, it's nearer and it's on the way to my meeting place." He offered a small smile, asking me to stay with him some more.

I couldn't reject such tempting offers, though. Plus, I got to spend more time with him and get delicious breakfast.

I made a thinking face and asked, "Can we go to the beach tomorrow, though?"

He looked amused, yet still answered, "Anything for you."

I looked at him with a wide grin,"Then it's a deal!"
