“I’m not Nichole. I don’t know who she was or what her resume said, but I’m not her. When you offered me the job and called me Nichole, I should have corrected you. I didn’t deserve the job. You were offering it to someone else. I’m so sorry. You must hate me,” I tell him dejectedly.
I don’t know what reaction I expected from him. Confusion or anger, maybe even betrayal or disappointment.
Instead, what I get is laughter.
Levi starts chuckling and then full-on laughing, and I frown.
“What? What’s so funny?” I ask, swiping the tears from my cheeks.
“You thought that you had stolen someone else’s job?” He asks, still grinning, and I nod.
“Yeah, and I’m really sorry. I’ve felt so bad this whole time, but I really needed that job,” I try to explain.
“You didn’t steal the job, Pia. The only thing you stole was my heart.”
My mouth drops open, and he closes the distance between us, wrapping me up in his arms.
“I didn’t know who you were or what resume I was even looking at. I just wanted you. I was offering you the job. I fell in love with you. Not some Nichole or whatever,” he tells me, and a sense of relief washes over me.
Then his words catch up to me, and I freeze.
“Wait,” I say, looking up at his handsome face. “You love me?”
TWELVE
Levi
“Of course I do,” I tell her gently.
I can see the hope shining in her pretty purple eyes, and I cradle her face in my hands as I stare down at her.
“I think I’ve been in love with you from that first moment.”
“Me too,” she whispers, and my heart soars.
“Say it,” I beg her, and she smiles sweetly.
“I love you, Levi.”
My lips crash down on hers in an instant. I want to ask her to say that again. I want to feel her whispering those three words against my skin, branding me as hers, but it’s been too long since I’ve kissed her.
My heart finally feels whole for the first time in days, and I hold her closer to me. It’s like I need the reminder that she’s really here.
Her soft curves press against me, and I moan against her mouth. Her fingers tighten on my arms before they slide up and she wraps her arms around my neck. She’s clinging to me, just as desperate to be with me as I am to be with her.
Fuck, I’ve missed this. I’ve missed her.
She pulls away, sucking in air, and I start to kiss my way down her neck.
“I love you, Pia,” I say in between kisses.
She tilts her head back, giving me more access to her flawless skin.
“Levi,” she moans, letting out a gasp as I nip at her skin.
“God, I love hearing you say my name like that, baby.”
“Levi,” she moans again, and I swear I almost come in my pants.
