SPARE PARTS

Thirteen

It was a searing passionate kiss. It was full of emotion and unspoken feelings. She was lost in the kiss, in his world.

The Blair Ford world.

When he broke away hastily, Levon couldn't help the emotions surging in her body and mind. Blair had a way of flexing into her life and she liked it. She liked the way he made her feel alive with just one touch.

She liked everything about him, his kisses, his body, his eyes. his smell. He had her hands tied like a helpless captive lost into a million thoughts. And now that same man liked him. Wasn't it just unfortunate that she liked him but she had to push him away?

"I hope that proved how much you mean to me." Blair said slowly studying her face.

She loved everything about the kiss, the emotion, its fullness, the feelings, the passion and above all the love. It felt like home. The way her body molded into his like a puzzle fascinated her. She was not about to admit that loudly to him though.

"I hate that you make me feel this way." Levon muttered.
"I can see the cogs in your head turning Levon. Let me do the thinking and you love, just rest." he coaxed.

"It is wro..."
"Your brothers might not be fond of me but that is for me to settle. I will fight for you Levon and I will not give up, not today at least." Blair gazed right through her eyes.
The sincerity in his voice scared her a lot. Levon knew her brothers and how hard headed they were, they were not one to give up easily.

"You don't..."
"I can be hard headed too more so when I like someone. I want to ask you something though."
Levon's eyes snapped up to his immediately.

"I want to invite you to dinner at our house tomorrow." Blair asked.
He couldn't be serious. There was no way she was going to the Ford residence.

"No, I can't." Levon quickly blurted.
"I want you to have dinner with my family too. It is not that complicated so don't think too much, just a dinner." Blair said.

"You don't understand."

"I do understand that you are scared because of my status. You are worried about if my parents will like you but let me assure one thing Levon. No matter what happens, I will still like you." Blair muttered.

He had just answered all her unanswered questions. Blair Ford was really something.
"I will take your silence as a yes. I will pick you up at seven tomorrow." Blair beamed giving her no choice.

She only hoped it would end well. It was just dinner, what would go bad? Everything or nothing at all.

"This is goodnight then. It is freezing and I don't want you to catch a cold." Blair kissed her forehead before he left.

Sighing hard one more time, she walked back to the tense atmosphere of the sitting room where everyone sat quietly with murderous glares in their eyes.
"What did ..." he was halted by Mason who stopped him with a touch on the shoulder.

"What did he tell you Von?" Liam tersely asked.
"He invited me to dinner." she murmured slowly but audible for all of them to hear.
She knew she had dropped a big bomb but she had to anyway.

"What the freak? Did I get you well there? Don't tell me you accepted to go with him?" Liam snapped coldly.
"Well, I did and I don't get where it concerns all of you. This is my life." she glared at them.

"We are your family Von. We know what is best for you and he is not good company." Leo scowled back.
"Right now you have no say in what is right and wrong. Let me handle my mistakes for once and trust me when I get hurt, the blame will be on me." With that she scurried to her room.

"Damn it! Levon.." Leo tried calling but she was already away.
The last thing she heard was her father telling Leo to leave her.

She shut her door and laid on the bed quietly. She had to do things on her own rather than leaving in regrets the rest of her life. His brothers weren't her and they didn't even know how she felt.

That kiss had meant something to her. She felt loved and safe like she meant the world to him. She was yet to find out tomorrow. Levon was ready to tell Blair what she truly felt. It was time to get real.

While Whitney rummaged through her wardrobe, Levon sat down gazing at her face which was glowing with the simple makeup Whitney had helped her apply. Her long dark locks were curled a bit giving them a good new look.

The simple pink lip gloss and the simple mascara made her lips and eyes to stand out.
"Jesus Von, what is this you have in here?" Whitney grimaced as she continued her search.
"Told ya." Levon sighed.
"Well, found it." Whitney raised up her evening midnight dress.

She didn't know when was the last time she had worn it but probably long. It was when she had just graduated and they went shopping with Whitney. She had long forgotten about it.

It was just perfect in her own opinion too. Decent, full lace sleeves and it just ended above her knees. It was the dress that gave an impression.

"Now get your ass up and put on the damn dress." Whitney ordered throwing the dress at her.

"I doubt how Timothy keeps up with you." Levon muttered.
"FYI, Tim and I are like best friends and we are okay." Whitney defended. She casted her a look.

"Best friends! Jesus Whitney. Is that what you tell yourself before you sleep?" Levon teased with a smirk.
"Even an old man can see what you two have." she added.

However much Whitney denied it, Levon knew her best friend well enough. Over the past few weeks, the two had grown much closer.

"I am not admitting anything. You woman better get into the dress before it is late." Whitney waved off the topic.

Levon smiled at her but dropped the topic getting dressed. Once her whole look was done, she stood infront of the mirror.
"Everyone has got to like you in that dress." Whitney complimented.
"You think?"

"Of course. Look at you Von. You are all glowing." Whitney coaxed. Blair's car sound ended the conversation.
"Go get your man babes." Whitney hollered behind her.

Her brothers and father were already in the living room when she reached downstairs.
"I can't believe you are really doing this." Liam glared.

"Damn Liam. Piss off for one night, okay." Whitney rushed to her rescue. Liam turned his glare to Whitney. He wouldn't do anything to Whitney and they all knew that.

"Bye babes. Make sure to enjoy." Whitney said.
"I will." Levon acknowledged her father and smiled at Whitnet before she opened the door.

Despite the fact that his brothers were against her decision, she wasn't going to let their attitude wear her down.

"Hey."

Levon rushes into Blair's ready hands "I missed you." Blair murmured.
"I missed you more." she replied.

"Shall we?" Blair opened her door. Levon hoped inside before someone hollered.
"Make sure she returns home safe and sound." It was Nathan. Levon felt herself tense.
"Will do sir." Blair replied.

"I give you my trust boy. Don't break it." Nathan sternly added.

Levon relaxed thanks to Blair's hold on her hand after a while. Bad thoughts were running around in her head. What if Blair's parents were like her brothers?

"Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?" Levon gazed. Blair's hold on her tightened as he brought her knuckles to his lips.
"Absolutely not, I assure you." he smiled.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?" Blair grinned as they approached his parent's patio.
"Stop it Blair." she blushed.
"What? Am I not accepted to compliment how I won't be able to keep my hands and eyes off you tonight? he teased her.

The blush that crept her neck and cheeks was already a reminder of how they had a long night ahead of them.
