Changing Love

Things to figure out

            I made my way outside to find him leaning against a stack of tires with his arms crossed. 'Levi are you ok?' I said jumping down out of the tunnel. 'Thinking about how it feels to kiss Marie' he said then looked up 'Marie I thought you were Brody or one of the others.' I couldn't help but smile at him. 'I guess it's true what Redbot told me' I said standing next to him 'What do you mean?' he said moving away from me. 'Levi you know what I mean. I know you have feelings for me.' I followed him as he walked around. I watched as he stopped dead in his tracks. 'Yes, I do have feelings for you' he said walking up to me. He walked up to me touching my cheek 'I have fallen in love with you, and I think about you all the time. I know that you are with Brody and I know you love him.' I stood there looking in his eyes. In my mind all I could think about was how it would feel to kiss his him. 'Marie' Brody voice rang out through the tunnel. We moved apart as quick as possible 'Hey you two come on we are going to get something to eat. Then I need to get Marie home' Brody said making his way up. 'Okay let's go' I said walking over to him. 'Yea I am starving' Levi said walking up to me. Brody smiled at me then I watched him go back down the tunnel. I started to climb down the tunnel, but I stopped when Levi touched my hand. I looked at him to see that he was inches from mine. It happened in slow motion he moved closer to me than our lips were touching. I didn't fight it I kissed him back. I felt his hand cup my cheek and mine did the same then moved down his jaw, wrapping around his neck. He pulled me back out of the tunnel not breaking the kiss. He placed my feet back onto the ground then he pulled me close to him. The kiss felt wonderful all I wanted was to be there with him enjoying being held in his arms. 'Oh, my goodness your lips are so soft.' Levi said smiling when the kiss ended 'Yours too' I said then I realized what I just did 'Oh no' I said pulling away from him. 'I love Brody. I am with Brody, but I just kissed his brother' I started to panic sitting down on a nearby tire. 'I couldn't help it. I have wanted to kiss you so bad I had to take my chance.' Levi said sitting next to me. 'It was a risky move' I said looking at him 'Do you realize that Brody could have saw what you did. Levi I really care for Brody and I do not want to hurt him' I looked up into Levi's eyes he knew what he did was wrong. 'Are you two oks?' We heard a voice say then looked over to see Sarah standing there looking at us. 'Yea' I said standing up 'Come on we are waiting on you guys' she said giving us a smile. Levi smiled then walked toward the entrance to the base. I watched as he made his way down into the base. As soon as his head disappeared I looked at Sarah giving her a worried look. 'Where is Brody?' I said walking toward. 'He is waiting for you guys at the base.' She said giving me a worried look 'Why?' I just gave her a smile then went into the base. As I walked in I saw Brody standing there with his arms crossed 'Everything okay?' he said giving me a smile 'Yes everything is okay. Why do you ask?' I said looking at him trying a smile. 'just wondering come on let's get going' He said offering me his hand.

As we walked to the parking lot I kept on looking over towards Levi and a couple of times I saw him looking at me. When we our eyes would meet he would give me a smile. When I saw him smile at me I would look at Brody and my heart broke. How could I have been so weak? I looked back at Brody I love him so much, but when he finds out what happened between Levi and I he will be mad at the both of us. 'Marie what's wrong?' Brody said looking at me. He stopped then placed his finger under my chin lifting it so that I was looking into his eyes. 'Marie please talk to me. Something is wrong I can tell that your upset about something' he leaned down to kiss me, but I moved my head. 'Brody I am ok.' I said then hugged him then I started to walk to the parking lot, but he pulled me back to him crushing his lips to mine. The kiss left me breathless I looked up at him then pulled him back to me kissing him back. 'I guess that we can talk about it later' he said smiling then lead me to the car. When we got to car Levi was waiting there for us. 'Bro can I take Marie home? We need to work on our project' Levi said walking towards us. I stood there holding Brody's hand then looked over at Levi the memories of the kiss that we shared still in my head. 'Marie is that okay' Brody said bring me out my trans. 'Sorry' I said looking at him. He smiled then kissed my forehead. 'Do you mind if Levi takes you home. That way you two can work on your project.' He said looking at me. 'That will be okay.' I said smiling at him. Brody gave me a worried look then touched my cheek 'Brody what's wrong?' I said looking at him. 'Well I am used to taking you home.' He said giving me a smile. I let out a giggle then kissed him softly 'Why don't you come over in hmmm an hour. Then we can spend some time together okay' I said then kissed him. Then I walked over to Levi then followed him to his car. As we pulled away I watched Brody standing beside his car looking so sad. I felt my heart sink down to my stomach. 'He looks so lonely' I said looking at Levi. Levi looked back at his brother then stopped the car. I watched him walk back to where Brody was standing they stood there for a bit talking then Levi walked back to the car. 'He is okay. I told him everything will be okay and that I would protect you with my life.' Levi smiled then we pulled out of the parking lot making our way to my house. We drove to my house laughing and talking enjoying spending time with him. When we got to my house Levi walked around and opened my door giving me a smile. I couldn't help smiling back at him then we walked to the front door. 'Marie, I know that what I did at the base was wrong. I should not have kissed you, but I really wanted to kiss you. I couldn't fight it anymore' he said touching my cheek then leaned down. 'Well come on in' Papa said opening the door. 'Hi Mr. Keith' Levi said jumping back 'Hello Levi' Papa said leaning against the door smiling at him. 'Where is Brody?' Papa said looking at me 'Hum he will be over later.' I said walking in then making my way to my room followed by Levi. 'MARIE OLIVER KEITH!!' Papa yelled up the stairs 'Yes' I said running down the stairs 'Why is Levi here?' Papa said sitting down at his desk. 'Sorry' I said placing my hand on my forehead. 'hold on ok' I said then ran up to my room looking for the paper. 'Levi do you have the assignment sheet for the project?' I said looking at him. 'Yea' He said handing me the paper 'Thanks be right back' I said then ran back to Papa's office. 'Here this will explain the assignment' I said handing him the paper. I watched as Papa read the paper dealing with the assignment, but after 10 minutes Levi joined us. 'Well I guess I will need to clear my schedule so that I can see the performance' Papa said handing me the paper. I looked up at Levi and smiled at him then the door bell rang. 'Brody' I said running to the door, but when I opened the door it was not Brody. 'May I help you?' I said looking at this man smiling at me. 'You have really grown since the last time I saw you Marie' the man said smiling at me 'I am sorry do I know you?' I said giving the man a questioning look. 'I am sorry is Thomas Keith here?' he said noticing I didn't know who he was. 'Yes, he is hold on' I said then closed the door walking back to Papa's office 'Papa there is a man at the door for him.' I said leaning against the door. 'Why didn't you invite him in Marie?' Papa said standing up 'Sorry Papa I didn't know who is was' I said looking at Levi then followed him to the door. 'Hello I am Thomas Keith. Oh, dear God get in here' Papa said opening the door wider to allow the stranger to walk in. When Levi saw the man, he placed me behind to protect me. 'Marie come here I want you to meet your godfather.' Papa called to me shaking the man's hand. 'Yes Papa' I said walking around Levi giving him a strange look. 'Marie this gentleman is Dr. Tommy Oliver, and he is your Godfather' Papa said placing his hand on the man's shoulder. 'Hello' I said giving him a smile 'Keith she looks just like her Momma' Tommy said smiling at me.
