Chapter 24: Offer me tea
September 2012
"Bloody fantastic." Sam cursed as she walked in 7 Eastbourne Rd, swinging Levi’s door open that Saturday evening. Inside lying on the sofa in his blue silk pajamas was the Criminal Psychologist, a look of contempt on his face as he glared at the ceiling.
Levi tore his eyes away from the ceiling and raised a brow at the state of the redhead at his front door. Sam was soaked from head to toe, she had forgotten to grab her umbrella when she left her place that evening. And with the roads closed towards Eastbourne, she was forced to walk a block in the rain.
"You’re soaking wet. Why?" Levi asks, brow raised at the pathologist. Sam shot him an incredulous look, peeved at his cluelessness. "It’s raining, genius." She replied sarcastic, gesturing to the window where the rain could both be seen and heard pouring hard. Levi rolled his eyes in response, he had failed to notice the current weather his mind stuck on the annoying conversation he had with his sister that morning. Mentally plotting her ’accidental’ death. Overdose? Falling off the stairs? What about feeding her food laced in Strawberry extract, something she was highly allergic to. That would do the trick.
"Sarcasm," he noted, going back to doing nothing.
"Yes. Good. Now can you get me a towel please, I don’t want to flood the floor."
Levi cocked a brow at her and turned, his back facing her. "Get it yourself." He replies displeased that someone was ordering him that day, again.
Sam reached over to him with her damp cold fingers and flicked his exposed ear.
"Ow woman!" He shouts, rubbing his ear. Glaring at her the second later.
"I will flick you again I swear it, Mr. Jackson." Sam threatens glaring down at him. Levi begrudgingly leaves recognizing her serious tone and gets her a towel, he returns throwing it towards her and she catches it, while he flops back on the sofa. "Now, stop shaking, and let’s play." He demands as he pulls out a chessboard from under the table. He hadn’t won in that game with her yet, he was determined to win this time. He needed a win.
