Best friend ever.
“Thank God! I’ve been dying of boredom.” I throw the sketchpad on the chair and jump up. “You better be ready for some Viking marathoning and me kicking your arse at pool.”
Dan winces, stopping not far from the door. My eyes widen when the other figure strolls ahead of Dan.
His light, devil eyes twinkle and his lips curve in a smirk. “I’m game.”

Astrid
I’m not playing this game anymore. Stop dragging me to the chessboard.

The last person I expected to see standing in my house is only a short distance away.
He’s wearing his uniform in that nonchalant, tousled way and of course, no tie. I hate how stupid tall he is and how that tugging starts at the bottom of my stomach.
No, not tugging.
It’s a rolling wave of anger about to crack me open.
“What the hell are you doing here?” I bite out.
“Daniel mentioned you were sick,” Levi says ever so casually while advancing towards me in predatory strides. “I came to wish you better.”
More like to ensure that he got me where he wanted.
“Get out.” I motion at the door, throwing a glare at Dan.
I can’t believe he brought the devil to our little heaven without a warning.
Worst best friend ever.
“Woah. Slow down, Astrid.” Dan gives a lopsided smile and offers Levi an apologetic one. “She’s not usually like this, Captain.”
Sure thing, Dan. I’m not usually bitchy with the one who’s out to destroy my life.
I don’t know if I want to pull his hair or kick him in the balls for bringing Levi here like we’ve been long lost friends.
Dan reaches me in a few strides and I jab him in the side, earning a groan. He smothers my hair back and whispers. “Be nice. My game depends on it.”
I want to tell him and his game to go suck it, but I’m not that type of bitch. My problem with Levi has nothing to do with Dan. I don’t want him to be the collateral damage of whatever war we’re having.
Besides, Dan wouldn’t have brought him if he knew what happened last night.
Or at least, I hope so.
The reason I didn’t tell him is because I feel cowardly and weak.
“I’m going to see if Sarah has some smoothie left.” Dan pats my shoulder one last time and saunters inside before I can stop him.
Damn Dan. I hope Sarah doesn’t have any smoothie for him.
It hits me then that I’m all alone with Levi.
The same Levi who terrorised me yesterday.
