Page 22 of Resisting Your Love

"She told me to tell you."

I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "Well, of course, she did."

"Are we going?"

That was Levi's way of not trying to argue with me about it, but I wasn't done fussing and wanted to get my point across, which was something he didn't like. He wanted to always be in control, but I had a say in the matter, too.

"I'll have to think about it," I said with a pout.

He chuckled. "Well, while you think of it, decide what colors we are wearing as well."

"What?" I bellowed, but he was already out of his seat. "Levi!"

He kept walking out of the kitchen, completely ignoring me. Gosh, I hated this so much.

We sat in the car, sharing a box of popcorn and staring at the big screen in front of us. We went to seeLove & Basketballsince it was playing. I wanted to seeNext Friday, but Levi wasn't feeling that. Of all things playing, he wanted to watch this movie. That caught me off guard. We weren't even watching it. We were just talking to each other, which was good enough for me.

He shook his head. "Man, I swear he did ol' girl wrong."

"He did. That's why I don't want to watch this movie. I've seen it a thousand times and hate his character more every time I watch it."

He chuckled. "Only you, for real."

I shrugged. "I feel like he played in her face plenty of times. Even when she kept going to him, he still gave her his ass to kiss. Ugh! I hate this movie."

Levi burst out laughing. "I can feel the hate rolling off you. I get it, I guess. Have you ever been hurt like that in any of your past relationships?"

I thought of Joel and got sad. I tried to make the relationship work with him, but he kept giving me his ass to kiss as well.

"In a way, you can say that I have, but I'm over it now. I broke up with him and moved on."

I hated thinking about Joel since I wanted to forget about him. Truthfully, I hadn't thought of him since Levi and I started getting close to each other. Whenever I talked to Mimi, she'd bring up Joel, letting me know he said he made a mistake. That was something I couldn't care less about. That man meant me no good, and I was happy to be out of his life. He wanted me out of it so badly before, but now I was happy and content where I was at.

"I've never been in that type of situation before. Yeah, I had girlfriends in the past, but I never let it get to the point where I'd let them hurt me. Nah, that's something I couldn't see myself doing."

That was understandable, coming from a man like Levi. "You seem like the type to leave a girl alone as soon as things get too serious."

He laughed. "Yeah, that's what I'd do. It was too many women wanting me, and I wanted to explore them all as much as I could."

I cringed, thinking about the number of women he'd been with. "I hope it wasn't too many."

He gave me an amusing look. "Nah. Nah." He licked his sexy, full lips.

I waved my hand, not at all believing him. "So you say."

Levi's head rested on the headrest as he smiled. He had a nice smile, too. I could sit and stare into his light, bright, boyish face all day. When he was sleeping, I'd do just that. That seemed creepy, but he was a sight for sore eyes. Since we started making love, we had been in each other's beds. I hadn't moved into his bedroom yet and didn't know if I wanted to. I loved having my space, and when I needed a break, I could easily go back to my bedroom, but since being with him, I hadn't needed a break at all. I wanted to be near him all the time.

Levi tapped my thigh, gaining my attention again. "Hmm?"

"Did you zone out on me?" He had one of his eyebrows lifted. "Are you bored with the movie?"

I didn't know if I should be honest with him or not. "Umm, the movie is okay, but I am enjoying your company more and the conversations we are having."

He grinned and then swiped his tongue across his bottom lip. "Oh yeah?"

I nodded. "Yeah. I'm not enjoying the movie at all."

He laughed. "I figured as much. I was trying not to go to sleep."
