“Um, he told me to call him if I needed anything, and I was like, I don’t have your phone number, and he just handed me his phone.”
“Has he texted or called you yet?”
“I don’t know. I was driving, so I didn’t look.”
“Well, look now!” She tells me as the rest of our food is dropped off.
I grab another edamame and then pull my phone out.
“He did!” She cries with glee, and I grin.
“Yeah, he did.”
I scan over the texts and by the end, I’m practically beaming.
Warren:Text me when you get to the restaurant.
Warren: You don’t owe him anything.
Warren: If he does anything to make you uncomfortable, you need to leave. You can call me and I’ll come get you.
Warren: What restaurant are you at?
Warren: Sunshine, I’m starting to worry.
I show Pia,and she practically melts at his texts.
“Aww, I wish Levi was like that,” she sighs.
“Like what?” Her husband asks as he slides into the booth next to her.
“Warren is worried about Lila. He keeps checking in on her.”
“I’ve texted you five times since you got here,” Levi says with a smile.
“You have?” Pia asks, pulling out his phone.
“Yeah. When you didn’t respond, I decided to come and check on you two.”
“Oh, sorry, honey. I didn’t hear it.”
“I figured. Had to be sure, though.”
Levi smiles at Pia like she’s his entire world. That’s what I want. I want someone to check in on me, someone who cares about my well-being and how I am. Someone who is crazy in love with me.
“What’s new with you two?” I ask, changing the subject.
Pia shoots me a look, letting me know that she’s not done talking about Warren, and I know that she’ll bring him back up soon.
“Nothing much. We were talking about getting away for a few days soon. Want to come on vacation with us?” Levi asks, and I smile.
He’s always been so welcoming and kind to me. I appreciate that. I know that he just wants Pia to be happy and that he knows that I love her as much as he does.
“Depends. Where are we going?”
I eat and listen to them debate the pros and cons of a few different places. I doubt that I’ll go with them. I know they’re still in the honeymoon phase, and I’m sure they don’t want me third-wheeling their vacation.
I ask Levi about work as we finish eating, and he pays the bills.
