Bridal Shower

Part nine
Bridal shower

one year later

"You can't escape from me you bastard"

She watch him running away from her as she keeps on his track, and run towards him as she was given an order to arrest the human trafficker and he is a one god damn bitch! Her head hurts a lot for having a hangover from last night and she is still wearing her pixie dress and high heels. She got an early call that she needs to report on duty and the survey team was able to spot the suspect, and they need him for another lead for the titans.

"You bitch!"

A very pissed and still drunk Hanji Zoe is not in the mood for his drama and calling her bitch is the last straw to her. Grabbing her high heels, she then throw it on his head and hit him straight on his nape that cause him to faint a little, not waiting for him to stand up she then dash towards the old man. She can see Levi is at her  heels all along  watching her intensely, he is the leader of the squad and being so overprotective he needs to follow her on her mission instead of waiting inside the van.

She then jump towards the old man and hit his face with her feet and press his face hard on the concrete floor. "You bastard" she then kick his face hard that makes him spit blood "This is what happen when someone calls me a bitch"

"You don't even feel sorry for hitting an old man like me" he groans as he regain his conscious

"I don't feel sorry for a man selling women like they are cattles" she glares "your testicles should be remove, you deserve it"

He pales as she grin maliciously and started to fling his body trying to escape. He accidentally hit her face that made her nose bleed and truly he was sorry for it, all the more reason that he fears his life is when a looming figure standing in front of them with so much darkness around him, glares at him.

"You dare to hit her" he said calmly

"I didn't mean to" the old man screams "please forgive me"

"Tch"

Levi drags the poor old man's body and throws them inside the van. Gelgar and Auro secure the man and reports it to Erwin about the mission. He then walk towards his woman as she cleans her red shoes, damn her for being so reckless.

"Zoe "

"I'm still mad at you"

"Oh come on" he groans "He deserves to be punch in the face because he is flirting with you"

"You broke his two front teeth Levi and besides its a bridal shower and a stripper who Rico hired to entertain the bride , if only you know how many times I say sorry to Nanaba and the good thing about it she's cool with it" she rub her fingers on her forehead to ease her hang over

"You need to drink a lot of water" he then offer his water bottle to her in which she accepts it "you're dehydrated "

"Thank you" wiping the side of her mouth with the excess water, she smirk as she look at Levi's disgusted face and he hates her doing like that its so dirty and unladylike.

"I think you should stop being childish for once"

"I think you should stop talking to me your being a pussyblock to me last night" she watch his eyes narrows and his ears turning red, he is always shy when it comes to sexual things. The sad part of it he is still so close off and expressionless when it comes to love.

Last night
08:56pm

She watch Nanaba laugh as she opens the gifts for her bridal shower and the way she keeps on looking at her as if asking her approval that flatters her heart a little bit ; Zoe is happy for her. She nods her head and take a sip with her vodka tonic. Its been a year now after they graduated from their training and she got her badge and license an accomplishment that she never thought she be able to reach it, tho her mother didn't like it and never talk to her since.

Mike and Nanaba is getting closer after a month they graduated and they live together for almost six months, Mike couldn't live without Nanaba and ask her hand on marriage, they both look so happy and contented.

A little bit sad for thinking that Nanaba is happy with Mike and she felt that half of her soul is gone, Nanaba is like a sister to her and the person that she lean to and now she is happy to be married. Mike is her cousin and he is lucky to marry the most precious woman in her life and she even punch Mike's face to congrats him. She is happy for them anyway.

"Tonight we will enjoy your life as a single woman Nanaba" Rico smiles "you will get married tomorrow "

Hange watch her friends laughing and dancing as they celebrate for Nanaba's bridal shower, a sudden pain in her heart knowing that Nanaba is going to leave her forever and stay with Mike as his wife. She never thought about it but she's going to miss her so much. Her life right now is kind of complicated, knowing that she and Levi got a little bit distant with each other, they had fuck,  yes ,  but she wants emotional connection with him and he is being cold and aloof. That one thing about him that she is starting to understand and accept, he is not expressive with his feelings and prefers to be alone, heck she doesn't even know where they are standing right now. He told her that she is his girlfriend but she doubt that he treat like one, he can be sweet yes but there is a barrier between, emotional barrier to be exact.

She tries to break his ice but he seems blocking her more, though she gives him time, space and all the things that he needed. Being in a relationship with Levi is like a roller coaster ride and she is starting to accept his flaws.

Snapping out from her reverie, it happen so fast that in  a flash on her eyes, she watch the stripper drops on the floor, she didn't know that he was dancing in front of her and Levi punch the guy. She drops the glass of margarita from her hand and grab Levi's arm as he drags the guy from his neck.

"what the hell Levi?!" she wraps her arms around his shoulder and drag him away from the stripper "what the fuck are you doing?!"

"He is being flirty with you shitty four eyes!"

"he's not"

"oh yeah? you were standing there holding your drink with your eyes sparkling"

"I did not!"

Nanaba walk towards them and drag the stripper away from them while Rico gives him an ice pack to ease the pain. Later that night Levi keeps on holding her hand as if telling anyone that no one is going to come closer to his woman and Hanji is being disappointed for him acting like a savage animal.
