“Weeks? So long have you been seeing him?”
And why was I just hearing about it now?
“We started talking before I left for Boston, but then we lost contact when I got there. And when I came back, we kind of hit it off when again.”
Again? Why was I just hearing about it now?
“What’s his name?”
“No way I’m telling you that! You’re gonna go Facebook stalk him or something, and I want you to meet him in person, before you judge him.”
“I won’t judge him,” I said, and even I didn’t sound convinced by that,. “Much,” I added to avoid completely lying to my sister.
“Is that her?” I heard a deep voice ask in the background.
“Selene, it’s eleven o’clock.”
“Grams is here, and he’s leaving.”
“Wait, can I at least talk to her?” the guy asked.
“We’ll see you whenever you’re free and can come down to visit. Good luck with everything. Love you. Bye.”
She didn’t even let me get a word in before she hung up. Looking through my phone I noticed that all my missed calls were from her. Levi had never even called me back after I hung up on him.
Why did that bug me? Why am I like this!
Getting up, I grabbed my rain boots and my jacket as I headed out.
“Pray for me Shadow.”
LEVI
“I’m coming!” I hollered, as I dried my hair off with my towel. Opening the door, I found that my late night caller was the very last person I expected to see.
“Thea?”
I moved aside, letting her in. She took her boots off at the door, before stepping further inside.
“And of course, you’re not wearing a shirt,” she sighed, heading into my kitchen.
“Be happy I have clothes on at all.”
She took two glasses out from the top of the cabinet, and grabbed a bottle of wine from the chiller. Pulling a few drawers open, she searched for what I could only assume was the bottle opener.
“You moved it,” she frowned, turning to me.
“Yes, in the four months since you been here, I’ve moved my bottle opener,” I said as I reached into one of the cabinets to get it for her.
“You sound annoyed.”
“You hung up on me, remember?”
“You never called back,” she said, pouring the wine into her glass.
Sighing, I tried not to get pissed off with her. “I don’t want to play these games with you Thea. You can’t keep protecting your heart by acting like you don't have one. Why. Are. You. Here?”
“My little sister has a boyfriend,” she smiled but it didn’t reach her eyes. “I was rolling around on my couch with my pillow to my chest, like a little kid, beating myself up over how much I enjoyed talking to you. Meanwhile, my younger sister is in a stable and mature relationship. Her boyfriend wants to meet me, but I have no idea why, because I am not the mature one in that relationship, either.
