The Split

Chapter 2

After a manicure and a much needed back massage, the girls went back home, to devise a plan to make the two ex lovebirds get back together. Although, the more Levi heard about the aftermath of the breakup she was starting to have doubts and didn't want to meddle but she hated seeing Olivia  in pain. Yes at first she and Zak had bumped heads but in the end they got friendly and became close. Levi kinda knew that he was in pain but he never showed it. He kept it inside.

They sat in the kitchen, Levi opening the  wine and Olivia  stealing another smoke;

'You gonna owe me a new pack at this rate.'
"Relax, i bought a pack of my own and i'll give you back the ones i stole."

'Uh huh. Red or white?'

"Red, please. Make sure to use those goblets we found at that medieval place."

'Already ahead of you.'

Levi walked to the table, placed the glasses down as she sat. Lighting up her smoke, she took off her jacket and relaxed in the plush chair.

'So how are we gonna get him to come back to me?'

"You know...livy i been having doubts. Maybe we should leave him be. It's obvious he's in pain and bombarding him with invites and calls and..."

'What changed your mind? Is because that now he and I aren't together your trying to get your chance with him?'

"Hurtful."

'Be honest with me, are you going to go after him now that he and I aren't together?'

Levi took a sip of red wine, took a drag of smoke and looked at her in the eyes, something she would never do in all the years of friendship.

"No, i'm not going after him. Okay?"
'Okay. so then your going to text him and get inside his head about his feeling.'
Levi nodded and pulled her phone out to text him.

Levi M: hey zak, how are you?

Zak B: fine. Why the sudden message?

'He took the bait.' Levi said in a whisper. Why? She had no clue.

"Get him to talk" Olivia whispered back with a smile.

Levi M: I just got into town for a work thing, wanted to see how you were? I'm sorry about you and Livy.

Zak B: I don't want to talk about that, no offense to you but you understand.

Levi M: yea, i do. Sorry for prying.

Zak B: your not, i didn't mean to snap like that. Just been a rough time lately

Levi M: did you want to get a drink sometime and talk?

Zak B: I don't think that would be a good idea.

Levi M: just a suggestion, no worries. I have to get back to my meeting, it was good hearing from you.

'What are you doing? Why are you cutting off the conversation?'

"I'm just leaving it open-ended encase he strikes up conversation again. Relax, damn."
Just then a ping went off. Levi smiles and showed it to Olivia.

Zak B: yeah, you too Levi. we'll talk soon.

They both looked at the last response
"got em"
