nowhere.
“Excuse me?” I ask shocked by his boldness.
He starts laughing. “I would like to take you out on a date, get to know you better. Can you fit me into your schedule sometime this week?” he says looking too sexy for his own good.
“Umm,” I stutter, “I’m not sure that’s such a good idea.”
“Why not?” he asks confused.
“Levi, you seem like a nice guy, but I’m not like the girls you’re probably used to. So it’s probably better if we don’t hang out,” I state feeling my cheeks turn a light shade of red.
He starts laughing again, “Liv, I’m not asking you to sleep with me, I’ m just asking you to hang out.”
“Why do you want to hang out with me?” I ask curiously.
“Why not? You’re hot, definitely my type, and you seem like a cool chick,” he states, looking intently at me.
“You only t alked to me like one other time.”
“I’ve hung out with Chad and he always talks about his girl, which obviously is Brynn and her best frien d which I’m assuming is you,” he states with a smile.
“Oh,” is all I can say. What on earth do you say back to that?
“She absolutely is my best friend and she’s cool as shit,” Brynn pipes up.
“So what do you say, will you hang out with me?” he asks sincerely.
“I guess so,” I state giving in.
“Finally,” he says with a laugh. “How about on Thursday?” he asks with a grin.
“Thursday works, where would you like to meet?”
He starts to laugh, “Liv, I asked you on a date that means I will pick you up and drop you off. It would probably be smart f or me to get your number though,” he says with a sexy smirk.
“ Alright,” I say still unsure, but then proceed to give him my phone number anyway.
“Great , now we are all set,” he says with a smile. Brynn has the biggest smile on her face showing she approves.
We all make small talk and I realize that Levi is actually pretty interesting and really smart. Not that I thought he was dumb or anything before , but I’m starting to see a better side to him. After what feels like hours later Brynn and I say our goodbyes and walk our drunken asses’ home to pass out.
Chapter Ten
Sunday comes way too fast and damn I’m feeling the hangover.
“Wake up sleepy head ,” Brynn states way too enthusiastically.
“Ugh, how are you so chipper right now?” I ask bitterly.
“Well let’s see...I took some aspirin and drank water and now I ’m good to go. Here take these,” she says as she hands me aspirin and water.
“Thank you, ” I say as I take the pills and down the water.
“What are your plans today?” she asks.
“Probably homework and relaxing all day,” I state.
“You sure about that?” she says surprising me.
“Yeah, I don’t have anything planned. Why?” I ask curiously.
“Well , your phone’s been going off like crazy. I’m thinking you may have a date tonight,” she says with a smirk.
“What? No B, I don’t have a date. You were there last night, I’m going out with Levi on Thursday, remember?” I state.
“Your phone woke me up because it kept going off so call it wishful thinking on my part,” she says with a smile.
“Sorry to burst your bubble, ” I say grabbing my phone to see what I’ve missed.
“What the hell?” I say.
“What’s wrong?” Brynn asks nervously.
“Well you are right, Levi did text asking if I want to hang out today , but Ryan also sent me a text.”
“What the hell does that asshole want?” Brynn states in an irritated tone.
“He wants to talk. Seriously? What’s left to say? He broke up with me to fool around with other girls, that pretty much ends shit,” I say as I throw my phone towards the end of my bed.
“Let me talk to the asshole, I ’ll make sure he gets the point,” Brynn states all serious.
“Its fine B, I’m not going to respond to him. He ’ll get the picture soon enough,” I say hopeful.
“Well if he doesn’t, I’ll handle him,” she states angrily.
