Chapter 46
FORTY-SIX
LEVI
While pretty and all, the new dusting of snow was nearly the death of me as I scaled the roof back to my room.
I tossed and turned most of the night missing her beside me. If I could just keep her in closure mode I could work on getting her to give me a second chance. I just needed a little more time.
Once up I showered and roamed downstairs to find an empty kitchen with Lexi at the stove making omelets.
“Good morning.”
“It was.”
I grabbed a cup and poured myself some coffee. “You know, it’s okay to not entirely hate me.”
Her head shook. “But I’ve put so much time and energy into the rage thing, it’d be a shame to let it go now.”
I leaned against the counter. “I’m not going to hurt her.”
Lexi’s eyes met mine. “I promise.”
She held my stare. “Please just leave her alone.”
Luckily my response wasn’t confirmed as Royce and Evan entered and sat at the table.
“Breakfast served in five,” she sang.
Royce scooted in his chair. “Since you girls have to get the wedding food, I thought the guys could check out the indoor golf place in town and get lunch.” He took an irritated breath. “Levi, you should come.”
Allie entered the room and stole every bit of oxygen from me. Everything from her jeans hugging that perfect backside, to the gray shirt that made those baby blues pop, and the auburn curls I wanted to run my fingers through, made her perfection shine like a diamond.
While nobody in the room knew yet, I would not be golfing. Or lunching with the guys. Nope, I was going to be with the girls starting my plan to make Allie realize she can’t live without me.
“Thanks for the invite, Royce, but I have some emails and work to get to. I’ll just hang back while you all go.”
The room seemed to accept this answer. One point for Levi.
Let the games begin.
