“ Yeah, you are not stupid enough to let me roam freely but you are wise enough to bring me here no?” scoffed Levy as she rolled her eyes and turned her head to look to the left. Seriously, what was wrong with them? Can’t they see that they were contradicting themselves? Moira’s face flushed but she didn’t say anything turning her head to look at Logan who parted his lips and asked, “ Did you meet with O’Neil?” Talk about jumping straight to the matter. Levy heaved a breath and then turned to look at Logan with a smile as she said, “ I did meet with him but——”“ You heard that? She just said that she met with O’Neil what else do you want?” Moira chimed in with a clipped voice as she turned to look at Jacob with a victorious expression as if she has just won a super hard criminal case. “ And maybe you didn’t pay attention to it but she is still talking,” retorted Jacob with a slightly annoyed expression. She understood Jacob’s feelings, for the first time she felt that she and her b
Levy curled a side of her mouth as she glanced at Logan, her eyes lacking warmth. “ Of course, if you are going to punish me then I have no other choice but to accept it, after all, it won’t be the first time you will be wrongly accusing me of something that I did not do.” He looked back at her and this time she could see that he was really looking at her, not the unwanted responsibility that was pushed on him or the woman who might be responsible for taking away the female he desired, this time his gaze met her head on with curiosity and assessment. She waited for him to say what he wanted to say with her arms dangling on her side awkwardly, she didn’t say anything nor did she interrupt him from speaking. With her mouth tightly pursed, she waited for him to speak, for once she wanted to hear what he really thought of her past his ill feelings.“ Leave us alone,” he finally said sitting up straight as he looked at his enforcers and asked them to leave. Levy frowned slightly, there wa
“ What…What did you say?” Levy double-blinked her eyes as she looked at Logan, not believing what she just heard. Did he really say what she just thought she just heard, was it true? She looked at him with a confused expression on her face and repeated her question, “ What did you just say to me?” “ I said I believe you,” Logan took another couple of steps back, his eyes staring right at her face. “ I might as well regret it but I will trust you this one time.” Levy did not say anything, she just stared at him long and hard before she burst out laughing, loud and harsh laughter echoed in the office. She didn’t know how long she laughed but she did know that she laughed for a long time, Logan didn’t stop her maybe he knew why she was laughing. Taking a long breath, she shook her head as the smile dropped off her face. “ Do you know that the word ‘trust’ sound really disgusting in your mouth? I guess you didn’t huh, or else you would not have dared to say that word in front of me.”S
Because of the agitation, she was feeling, Levy’s voice ended up getting a pitch higher. She couldn’t understand, she really counted…why was he looking at her like he was trying to understand something? Why was he saying things that she no longer wanted to hear? If only he has said the same thing seven years ago, she would not be like this, they wouldn’t be like this. “ You can hate me all you want without me giving you any more reasons to do so,” Logan blinked his eyes, his voice as soft as if he was trying to lull her to sleep. With a quick raise of his hand he pointed to her webbed eye and said, “ As long as this is here, you can hate me as long as you want. Don’t forget what you went through just because I gave an ounce of my trust, I still hate you just as much as I did seven years ago.” “ Of course, you don’t have to tell me.” She scoffed taking a few steps back and turning around to leave the room altogether, Levy was worried that if she was to stay another few minutes alone
“We use to come here when we were young, you remember it right?” Jacob brought her to the fried chicken restaurant that they used to go to every weekend with their mother. Levy looked at the big building with a flashy signboard that read —— Chuck you and for a second she couldn’t even compare it to the small wooden shack that she used to visit when she was ten or twelve. “ It has developed so much,” she murmured as she curiously looked around the entire restaurant, when she used to come here, it was a small building with a few tables and chairs stuffed in a small hall, an elderly grandma with her granddaughter used to fry the chicken nuggets and leg pieces in her special sauce right in front of them but now the entire building went over such a sudden change. The small open kitchen was now replaced by a food counter and the small hall was now big enough for at least a hundred people to fit in. “ You remember the small girl, the one who was called Sharon?” Jacob said as he headed to t
After that the memory was hazy, he couldn’t remember anything but after that incident, his mother would often bring him and Levy here, he thought she was making up to Levy who could not go to the party, who would have thought that she …The chicken wing dropped from his hand and he covered his face with his hands, feeling as if someone has just sucker punched him in the guts. “ Are you crying?” Levy asked when she heard a muffled sniff, she could hear the sound of someone sniffling and she was quite sure that the someone was none other than Jacob. “ No,” he replied rather too quickly but Levy didn’t miss the quivering note in his voice, seeing that he didn’t want to talk about it anymore, she turned her attention to the wings and started eating them without saying anything anymore. It took a whole ten minutes for Jacob to raise his head and look at her. “ I didn’t know it… I didn’t know it at all,” he murmured, Levy glanced at him lightly before turning to look somewhere over his
“ Did you have fun?” Jacob asked her after the two of them walked out of the restaurant. Levy took a glance at his lips that were shining with the paprika sauce and rolled her eyes as she scoffed, “ Yeah it was total fun watching you cry.” “ I didn’t cry—— what’s that?” he suddenly frowned causing Levy to twist her neck and look in the direction where he was looking—— a few feet away from them, they could see a family of three being dragged in the dark alley next to a boutique and from the looks of it they could see that neither of them wanted to follow the man who was walking behind them. Jacob’s brows twisted even more as he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “ I smell cougar, that man whoever he is.. he is a shifter.” She too has caught the scent of the cougar shifter but she didn’t make a move instead when she saw that Jacob was making a move, she immediately stretched her hand and stopped him from running after the shifter cougar. “ Where are you going?” Levy could
Levy twisted herself slightly, her gaze skimmed over the screen as she turned around and looked at the phone that was ringing, she pursed her lips and waited for the ringtone to come to a halt before turning to look around and glancing at the alley. Strictly speaking, with Jacob’s strength, he should have dealt with a cougar by now, what was making him delay for this long? The sound of Jacob’s favourite song disrupted the silence of the night and Levy sighed as she turned around and unlocked the car with the key that he has left with her, originally she didn’t want to pick up the call but knowing how stubborn Logan could be she had no other choice but to answer the call. “ Where the hell are you?” she did not even get the chance to say a single ‘hello’ when she heard Logan’s snappish voice as he shouted through the other side of the speaker. “ I have been calling you for ages but you haven’t even answered me once.” “It’s because your beta is doing some heroic stuff,” said Levy as s
