Page 79 of Aching for His Discretion

“We’re going club-hopping!” she said happily, and I shook my head as I took a bite of my salad.

“No, we’re not,” I muttered, and she whined as she pulled my bowl away from me.

She gave me a smile at my visible annoyance. “We can, and we are. I know your shift ends early today, and I’m going to try to get out a bit early, too. A couple of other med students are going to be joining us, and I’ll pick you up around eight.”

I sighed. I could use the night out… but I was a homebody. I wanted to lay with my kitty and watch telenovelas or K-Dramas. But I guess I haven’t really spent time with her lately.One night couldn’t hurt.

“Fine... I’ll go,” I said, and she squealed as she pushed my salad back over to me.

“I’ll see you later!” She grinned, and I watched as she walked away.

Picking up the phone, I called Levi as I finished up my salad.

“Hello, Tesoro mio,”I heard on the phone, and I bit my lip.

“Hi. Are you busy?”

“Never when it comes to you, baby.”

For some reason, my mouth went dry as I prepared to tell him about my plans for the night. “I-I just wanted to let you know that my friend wanted me to go clubbing with her tonight.”

“Is that so?”heasked, and I shuddered slightly as his tone changed over the phone.

“Um, y-yeah. Just wanted to let you know,” I whispered, and he hummed into the phone and didn’t say much for a moment.

“Well, keep your phone on, and I’ll call you throughout the night to make sure you’re okay,”he muttered, but I felt like that wasn’t it. Like he wanted to say something else.

I rubbed the back of my neck nervously as he spoke again.

“I’ll call you in a bit, Tesoro,”he muttered, and I bid him goodbye and ended the call. I felt nervous.

Knowing Levi, I could tell he wasn’t pleased. I almost wanted to cancel on Beverly, but I decided against it since she was obviously excited for me to tag along.

Texting her Levi’s address, I let her know to pick me up from his place. She didn’t say anything in response, but I did get a thumbs-up confirming she got the message.

Looking in the mirror, I fixed my hair in a low bun as my kitty jumped onto my lap. I was dressed in a simple sleeveless black halter top, blue jeans, and a pair of combat boots. Since I was running out of clothes, I had settled with this look as I hadn’t been back to my apartment in a while.

After finishing my hair, I went to Levi’s closet and picked up one of his black jean jackets. It smelled just like him, and even though it almost swallowed me when I wore it, it had a cute oversized look, and I didn’t want to be too cold.

Beverly texted me that she was here, and I reluctantly kissed my kitty goodbye as I descended the steps and left the apartment. She was double parked in the middle of the road, and I had to get into the back as I noticed two other girls in the car from our medical school and one of them was sitting beside Beverly in the front passenger’s seat. I waved to them politely, and they waved back.

“Ready for some fun, Teegan!” Beverly beamed from the driver’s seat, and I sighed as I buckled my seatbelt.

“Kinda... Wanna be back before eleven PM, though, if that’s okay with you guys.”

“We were planning for three AM, but we’ll shoot for eleven.” Beverly laughed, and I sighed as I leaned my head against the window.

Receiving a message, I looked at my phone to see it was from Levi. I smiled softly as I opened it and read it silently.

Levi: Tesoro, I will be busy tonight, but don’t you hesitate to call me if you need something. Have fun.

Thank you. I’ll keep you updated. x

Be a good girl for me, hmm?

I will…

I blushed slightly and put my phone down as I looked back up. Looking out of the window once again, I sighed as the city night lights started coming into view.
