I feel like I was thinking about Levi the whole week. I could not stop thinking about him. Looking back, I see how much I've been in love. Love at first sight. At that time, of course, I didn't want to admit it. After a week I met him again at the cafe. Maybe he went there on purpose, perhaps he also couldn't stop thinking about me. I don't know.
"Mikasa, leave me the guy on six, I'll be right there," I wanted to talk to him again.
"Hello, what can I get you, Mr Ackerman?" I smiled. He didn't look shocked but kept returning me a silent look for a long time.
"Black Tea and Chocolate Cake, thank you," He responded without emotion.
Looks like he doesn't care for me much. I should probably stop thinking about him. I turned on my heel and left. When I came with his order, he looked up at me and smiled briefly for a moment. I stopped moving and stared at him.
"Wanna join me?" he asked. At that moment, a broad smile spread across my face.
"My shift will end in a minute, so why not," I replied and went back to change.
When I changed, I made myself a latte and went to sit at the table number six. We stared at each other for a while, none of us knew how to start. I was quite nervous from the older men's strong presence, but he seemed completely unfazed. After a while, he started asking me about the school, my grades etc.
"Tell me about yourself, please," I told him.
"I'm not very interesting Eren," I stopped for a bit at how he addressed me.
"Oh, come on. Maybe something about your family, what you like to do, like that," I said with a smile, "I'm busy with my work, and I don't have a family," right, that was brief.
"And what about work?" I asked after a moment.
He talked a lot more about this topic, and I was thrilled. I felt so comfortable with him, and his voice calmed me down.
"Eren, we're closing," Mikasa interrupted us. "Y-yeah, we're going," I smiled at her.
"We could go to mine for coffee or tea. I live nearby," I told Levi.
Somehow I couldn't let him leave. I wanted him to be with me as long as possible, telling me about his work or anything else really.
"Do you normally take strangers to your home?" Levi raised his eyebrow. "You don't have to go if you don't want to, but I just have nothing to do, and I would appreciate a nice company," I replied pleasantly.
"You're one of the few people who actually enjoy my presence," he answered, and I had to smile.
He suddenly seemed more relaxed. We left the café in the direction of my apartment. It was just a few streets, so Levi left his car at the café. When we came home, I first checked to see if Jean was home. He wasn't, he got probably hold up at football training. I made black tea for Levi and coffee for myself. We settled in the living room and talked. Mostly about his work and my school. After a while, I went to get us some biscuits, and when I returned, Levi stood by the glass-cabinet, where we had photos. There were photos of our parents, some were with Jean and me and some with our other friends.
"You've got a lot of pictures," Levi turned around to look at me. "Yeah ... there's not much left after my parents," I smiled at him.
He looked a little surprised but seemed not wanting to continue, so he sat on the couch again.
"You know, I also feel relaxed in your company," he told me, and smiled a little, at that moment, I stopped breathing. What do I feel? I feel the blush forming on my cheeks I really hope he doesn't notice. He was looking at me as though he was scanning me, probably waiting for a reply. Suddenly we heard the sound of keys, and then Jeans shouting from the corridor.
"Damn it! Eren, come and help me! I had to go all the way up to the mall for that gay conditioner of yours! And to top it all off, it started to rain, so now I'm completely drenched and pissed off!" he yelled over the whole apartment.
"Damn it, just shut up you choleric!" I screamed at him, while apologetically looking at Levi, who seemed to be having a good time. I went to help Jean, so he wouldn't start yelling again. At that moment Jean came to the living room and saw Levi standing there. He froze, it was actually kind of funny.
"Hi, there" Levi laughed. "H-hello" Jean stuttered.
"Jean, this is Levi, he had a lecture on the company where he works at, at school. Levi, this is Jean, my roommate and a good friend," I introduced them and left with the purchase.
I put the bags on the kitchen counter and went back to the living room. Jean and Levi stood opposite each other, and it looked like they were talking about something. When Levi saw me, he said it was late and that he should go. I accompanied him to the car to say goodbye to him. Before he got in the car, he gave me a business card, whit his private number on the back, and told me to text him, when I wanted to. I went back to the apartment with a dopey smile on my face. Jean was waiting for me by the door.
"Eren?" he began. "Hm?" the stupid smile still plastered on my face.
"Do you have something with him?" he asked. "No, why?" that surprised me. But ... maybe I would like to have something with it him. Maybe. "I don't know. He seems weird, "Jean frowned.
"Yeah, says the weirdo," I laughed at him.
