"You guys want to have a what?" Levi asked, unable to understand why they would want to organize another party, there y exposing him to all kind of hurt. "A party, a welcome back party for you to the company." Brittany said again. They were sitted in his palour with Jake changing the channels every five seconds, trying to find a channel that he absolutely loved. "Why do you want to do that? Do you not understand what you will be doing?" He asked. "Well, I understand that we will be welcoming you back. Listen, babe you haven't been in that office for a very long time I am sure they all miss you and I am sure that they are more than excited to have you back." "That is not the point. The point is that a party exposes is to a lot of things. It doesn't matter how much you think it's gonna be private. It always turns out to not be private. Come on, you know how this works already. So many things are at risk right now and this is not something we can risk." "I don't understand what you
"Hello my love," the text message read. "Love?" Levi thought to himself. "Who the hell is calling me love?" "Who is this?" He responded to the message and sat up to get his reply as he noticed that the person was typing."Pick a wild guess," she said or at least Levi believed she was a he. It would be so terrible if it turned out to be a guy. "Look, I don't have the time to guess. Either you tell me who you are or you stop texting me." Levi sent back to her. "No, I won't. Come on baby, where your fun Spirit? Just try and guess who you are talking to." The woman sent another message. By now, Levi had grown tired and exhausted of the conversation. He knew very well that such conversation would not lead him anyway good and so he sent his last message. "Listen here, who ever you are. I don't know you and I will not try to guess who this is. So when you are ready to talk and tell me who you are and what you want, let me know. Goodbye." And then he hit sent. Immediately he was done, h
Levi arrived at the venue just in time to look around. "Should I inspect it first, sir?" Mark asked when he saw him looking around the building trying to find anything out of place. "Yes, I got a strange message and I am not so sure about this place. It would be best if you investigate and tell me more about it before I start going in." Levi said, happy that Mark was very observant. "Of course sir. Please stay in the car. I will be back shortly," he said and left the car.Levi did not need to be total twice. He sat in the car and waited for Mark. He looked at the time on his screen. 7:05pm.It was the exact time the woman had told him to meet. He wondered why she would chose a diner that probably won't be serving for them to meet. Maybe she wasn't after a very fancy meeting. But he still couldn't wash away the feeling of knowing the girl from somewhere. He still couldn't stop thinking about why her voice sounded so familiar. As he sat in the car, he heard his phone ringing. Thin
"Ivy!" He almost screamed. He could not believe that she was back in town. "Hello, Levi." She said with a smile on her face. Something about her had changed. She no longer looked shy and scared. She was now brave and bold. "Oh my goodness," Levi said and finally sat down. "The last time I saw you, you were thinking about leaving town. I heard you left but I did not know when you got back." "Well, if you must know. I came back few days ago. I did not actually want call you up because I heard that you had an auction event to attend. So I told myself after the event, I would meet up with you." "My goodness!" Levi exclaimed. "Where exactly did you go to?" He asked. "Umm, Eygpt." She said beaming. "Well Eygpt obviously agrees with you. Just look at you looking dazzling beautiful. You are radiating." "Well, thank you very much." She said, not hiding her blush. "I must say that I think it's amazing that you think all these wonderful things about me because now that I am back, I am t
Ivy sat still and watched as he made his call. He waited till he was done but inside her, she was boiling in anger. How could he be talking to another woman when she was right there? When did he even get a woman? She wasn't gone for that long and he had the audacity to get a new person in his life. He had to be kidding. Whoever she was, she would have to leave because she was back and she wasn't going to take no as a answer from him. Tapping her foot against the floor, she waited for him to be done. Maybe she could understand it if he had a fling. If he was just using the girl to pass time till she came back but to call the bitch his woman in front of her, that was something she was not going to take from him. It had become a very serious matter and he was going to ensure that he got rid of the woman. "Is there a reason you are staring at me like that?" Levi asked when he ended the call and could see Ivy looking at him like he broke her heart and scattered it around town. "I am s
"Are you threatening me?" He asked. "No. I am just saying that in life one can't be too sure of what the other wants to do. Which is why you need to be able adjust to any situation you may find yourself in." "What the actual hell are you going on about?" Levi asked. "Well, all I am trying to say really is that you stand a risk of losing something very important if you don't invite her to meet me." Levi laughed, looked down at his shirt and wiped off the dirt that had somehow flown to his side away from his body. "Ivy, I don't like people threatening me. I don't take it lightly with people who do that. Especially when you threaten my woman as well." "Well, you would think that I actually care about that but as it turns out, I don't and I did not actually threaten you..I just that I wanted to remind you that I can actually get whatever I want at anytime. Including information about your precious woman, so why don't you just spare me the stress that is involved in doing that and ju
"Ivy!" He almost screamed. He could not believe that she was back in town. "Hello, Levi." She said with a smile on her face. Something about her had changed. She no longer looked shy and scared. She was now brave and bold. "Oh my goodness," Levi said and finally sat down. "The last time I saw you, you were thinking about leaving town. I heard you left but I did not know when you got back."

"Where did you go?" Jake asked, startling Levi as he went to get his drink from the fridge. "Do you really have to do that everytime? Can't you just be normal for once in your life." "How do you actually expect me to be normal when you are out doing whatever you feel like without caring about me?" "Why are you talking like I broke your heart into different pieces and did not allow you a chance to recover from it?" "Because that's what you did!" Jake said angrily and then immediately the two bursted out in laughter. "Okay, you actually need to stop doing that. It's getting a bit strange and weird for me." "Oh but you used to love it so much when we were growing up. What changed?" He asked. "We grew up!" Levi looked at him and answered. Levi and Jake were practically like brothers when they were growing up. They did everything together and sometimes, Jake dramatic nature kicked in and he liked to tease his dear friend by acting like his girlfriend and somehow the girlfriend was
