Chapter 74
Kiara couldn’t help but smile as Levi beamed before her.
“Are you serious? You would go on a date with me?” She nodded.
“I can’t guarantee you anything Levi but one thing I know for sure is that you’re a great guy and anyone would be happy to be called your woman” He frowned.
“But not you?” She sighed then walked over to him and grabbed his hand.
“I’m willing to give you a chance. Make me fall in love with you, Levi” He stared at her for a while then grinned before wrapping his arms around her.
“Even if you don’t end up falling for me, I’m happy you gave me a chance” She smiled at him as soon as she pulled away from the hug then she turned to the tray of food he brought.
“And thank you for the food. They really are my favorite” Heather was really trying to push them together.
“Try the pancakes, I made them myself” She smiled and was about to reach out for the pancake when a memory of her and Zane making and eating pancakes flashed through her mind.
She immediately brushed it off then began eating the pancake Levi had brought her. She grimaced slightly when she tasted it but feigned a smile for him.
“Hmmmm…. Thank you” He frowned.
“You don’t like it?” She squeezed her eyes shut as she swallowed it then she turned to him.
“Erm… maybe tone down on the salt. As a matter of fact, maybe don’t put in any salt like… at all” He furrowed his eyebrows as he walked over to her. When he took a bite, he immediately spat it out.
“Oh my… that’s horrible! I must have put in salt instead of Sugar. I’m so sorry” She shook her head at him.
“Don’t be sorry, it wasn’t your fault but maybe next time, check the labels” They both stared at each other for a while then they bursted out laughing.
Age couldn’t help but heave out a sigh of relief because she had felt every since Levi said he was going to make her fall in love with him, something changed with them and they became more awkward.
“I like this part of you, Levi. Not the part that’s trying to win my favor and not the part that’s trying to win my heart, the part that’s friendly and always manages to put a smile on her face” She found herself saying as she spoke to him.
He stared at her for a while, let out a breath then nodded with a smile.
“I’m sorry. You’re the first lady I’ve ever been interested in so I don’t know how to behave around you” She grabbed his hand.
“You don’t have to apologize, just be yourself. Now if you’d excuse me, I have some waffles to devour. I hope you didn’t cook those as well?” They both laughed.
Kiara rolled her eyes as Heather squealed on her bed.
“Will you stop that?” Heather shook her head with a smile.
“I’m just so happy you finally gave Levi a chance. He’s a great guy and I’m sure he’d treat you right” Kiara turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
“Then why didn’t you date him?” Heather sighed.
“Because he doesn’t like me, he likes you. Plus, I like someone else” Kiara furrowed her eyebrows.
“You still like Daniel?” Heather frowned. She wasn’t sure she was ever going to stop liking Daniel since they had been mates once upon a time but she was trying to move on from him just like Kiara was trying to move on from Zane.
Before Heather could say anything, there was a knock on the door. Kiara glanced at herself one last time in the mirror before walking towards the door.
She smiled at Levi as soon as she saw him.
“You’re here” His eyes trailed down her body.
“And you… you’re beautiful” His eyes suddenly widened.
“Not like you have not always been beautiful, you have but like… I…” She grabbed his hand.
“Levi, relax, okay? And I understand what you’re trying to say and thank you, you look good yourself” She uttered with a smile and he grinned.
Thank you but I’m sure everyone’s eyes are going to be on you because of how beautiful you look. I’m finding it hard to take my eyes off you right now” Kiara’s cheeks turned red and Heather gave Levi a thumbs up from behind.
She didn’t know why but Kiara seemed to like cheesy lines so she told Levi to use all the cheesy lines he knew on her.
“Okay that’s enough. Shall we leave?” Levi nodded then grabbed her arm and placed it around his arm.
“I hope you’re comfortable with this?” She nodded at him.
“I am” He smiled then turned to Heather.
“We’ll go now. Don’t wait up for us” He told her then walked away with Kiara.
“Wait!” Heather called out and was about to run after them when her phone rang. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she picked up the phone and placed it against her ear.
“Hey” She murmured into the phone but the smile soon wiped off her face when she heard what Liam had to say next.
“He’s what??!!”
They were about to walk down to the car when Levi stopped her.
“Wait, I bought something for you” She furrowed her eyebrows then gasped when he showed her the beautiful bracelet.
“Oh my… that looks expensive, Levi” He waved it off.
“You’re worth it and when I saw it, I thought of you so I knew I had to get it. Can I help you put it on?” She stared at him for a while then nodded with a smile before stretching out her hand to him.
He placed it on her wrist and after he was done wearing it on her, he raised his head and their eyes connected. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to press his lips in hers. He wanted that so badly.
He leaned in slowly while watching her every move. Was she going to push him away or was she going to slap him across the face?
Just as he was about to place a kiss on her lips, a honk cane from behind them and they jumped apart.
Kiara’s eyes widened then Zane climbed out of the car in his signature black suit.
“Am I late?” Kiara glared at him.
“What are you doing here? Levi and I are going on a date” He nodded slowly.
“Yes, I heard you loud and clear over the phone. That’s why I’m here, I’m here for the date so are we going or not?” Kiara glanced at Levi and he seemed as confused as her.
“What are you talking about, Zane?” She questioned and he smiled.
“I’m coming with you guys on our date”
