The Apathetic

Epilogue: Forever, Levi

*4 years later*

I don't understand my feelings as much as normal people do. I still don't show it and/or think that it is something different, however, it is way easier to work with my apathy with Levi around.

I am 22 years old now and a senior in college. Levi, Amaya, and I are all students at The University of Tampa. I am doing my marine biology major, Levi is doing his Psychology major, and Amaya is doing her Nursing major. Julian went to Johns Hopkins University for Dentistry and Delilah went to the University of Miami for Human Resource Management.

Levi and Delilah still keep in contact but, I would have to say their relationship is not as bliss as it was after prom. At least Delilah moved on from Levi, even finding a guy that she claims is "better than Levi could ever be". I guess I should be happy for her.

I room with Amaya here at college and I would have to say that it made our relationship closer. Now that we are seniors, we have our own rooms in a suite.

Now we are all getting ready for graduation day. Finals are over and people partied (I didn't party though). It is a little bit frantic in my opinion.

"Hey Mackenzie," Amaya says as she walks into the dorm. She was carrying a sack of groceries. Did I mention that Amaya is a very talented cook?

"Hey, Amaya! What are you making for dinner tonight?" I ask, walking up to help her with the groceries.

"I am making Paella. You're favorite."

"Yay. Let me help!"

"Ok.....just don't add anything until I tell you to add it."

😐😅😘

"Let me take you out on a special date tomorrow." Levi takes a hold of my hand as we are walking the sidewalk of the Hillsborough River.

"Another one after this one?" I ask.

"Yes...another one. I have no classes tomorrow and I have nothing else to do for school. Frankly, I would want to spend another day with you if that is ok. If it was up to me...I would want to spend the rest of my life with you...hee hee." He chuckles. He makes a facial expression as if he regretted his words.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, nothing special. Dismiss what I said just...just stupid rambling. Anyway, how about it? Wanna go on a date with me?" Levi stops and lets go of my hand, making his way in front of me. I can tell he really wants me to go. Conveniently, I am not doing anything tomorrow either.

"Ok. Just text me the details later." I give him my brightest smile.

"Of course. This will be a day to remember." He returns the smile.

With Levi, every day is a day to remember.

😘😋🤗

I check myself one more time in the mirror. Levi told me to dress like we are going on a picnic because we are going on one. Actually, we are going to the same place that he took me on our first "date". The beautiful field of flowers and butterflies.

I can't lie that I am very excited for this date. We haven't been in that field since the first time we went there. Considering that we are like very far from it and we are busy with college, most of our dates are in the area or about a half an hour away. Only once, we went to Toronto and Vancouver, Canada together, however, that was just a group trip with my friends and his friends. We didn't get to spend much time together.

Going to the place where I first fell in love with Levi would be amazing.

A light knock came to the door. Amaya goes to open it and it is Levi with a bouquet of roses.
