Chapter 112 - 7 Days with Levi Jackson II
7 Eastbourne Rd.
It was Day 6 when Sam watched Levi pace back and forth barefooted in the living room, wearing a blue nightgown, far from his usual crisp suits that Sunday morning. The agency office was closed for the day, and he was antsy more than usual for reasons beyond what he was giving her.
Sam tried blocking him hours ago, but he was making so much ruckus that she couldn’t focus on the novel in her hand.
So she glared at him silently, if looks could kill the blond would have dropped dead on the wooden floors hours ago.
Sam sighed on her spot, frustrated that he wasn’t even aware of how much he was annoying her just by his constant movement. She took note of the obvious frown on his face. In her mind, he was like a 5-year-old trapped in a grown man’s body having a tantrum. He mentioned something about his sister, and the case he still owes her.
And she wondered if he slept on the wrong side of the bed last night, for he wasn’t usually like that even when Anna was involved. But then again, it was Levi, she thought, and he usually seemed like the type to sleep on the wrong side of the bed every single night just for the heck of it.
Wait, she wondered to herself. Does he even have a ’right-side’ on his bed? Or is it all bad sides?
Sam sighed, there was no need to figure that out.
What she needed him to do, is to quiet down just enough for her to read James Patterson’s latest masterpiece.
Frustrated at his antics, Sam brushed her hair away from her face using her fingers.
And her eyes trailed on Levi’s loose but swept blond hair. Then down to his piercing hazel eyes, and onto the thin and arrogantly high bridge of his nose.
She found herself almost in a daze, as she gazed at his cupid’s bow lips when he moved to speak. And she wondered in raw hunger if his mouth would be firm and strong against hers.
