WHO'S MARI
"You left me! I was drowning that time but you didn't even look at me! I'm about to die, Levi! I was screaming for help but suddenly you're gone! It's like you've made your choice and just let me drown in there, so tell me how I can believe you?!" I shouted.
I saw the shock in his eyes. Terror overtook his face he could barely find the right word to throw at me.
I gasped as I tried to calm down. I could feel the pain in my chest and it was as if something was stuck in my throat because of the pain. I forcefully wiped away my tears and cursed repeatedly as I searched for my belongings.
"F-fuck! I know you're just acting like that because something has happened to us and you think I'm your responsibility, so please, stop it. I don't fucking need you," I almost whispered to him and suddenly took my things.
I was about to enter the bathroom when he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his arms. I could feel his skin on my body because he didn't have an upper garment and I was still in a swimsuit. I felt like I was getting burned by the way he held me and every touch of his hand on my waist and back.
"I-I'm sorry. I did not know! I'm so sorry..." he whispered to me before he pushed me.
He turned me to him and gently wiped the tears from my cheeks and eyes. The pain and anger were so obvious in his eyes that I cried even more. I don't know what else to believe.
"I-I'm so confused, Levi."
"I know. I know and I regret that. When I left Tierra Fima, I was looking for you. I did not leave with Hoseah. I first came back here to Manila due to an emergency but then I looked for you. I went back to the island but you were gone, so I went back to the city to search for you because I wanted to tell you how I feel," he gently explained to me while still holding my hands.
"It’s a sudden feeling I know, but I’m serious, Lumiere. I want to pursue whatever we haven't finished before," he added.
I raised an eyebrow at him in disbelief. "W-what?"
I knew what he was referring to and that was what had happened earlier in their living room, so I immediately slapped him on the chest. Levi just laughed and pulled me closer to his body.
"I'm just kidding. I want you, Lumiere, so please, stop resisting," he said softly to me and kissed my eyes.
I was about to answer when suddenly, there was a knock on the door so I quickly pulled away from him, but he still wouldn't let me go so I looked at him.
"Someone's knocking," I uttered but he keeps on looking at me.
This man is really weird.
"Say it to me, first," he told me with a smile while still holding me.
I'm already panicking because of the constant slamming of the door, but this one doesn't seem to care! What is he saying?
"H-ha? There is someone, Levi!" I couldn't stop screaming at him.
I saw his forehead furrow even more as his jaw tightened due to the pressure.
"Just say it, Lumiere, come on!"
"Fine! Okay! Open that door!" I replied annoyed but he just laughed at me then went to the door and slammed it open.
"What the fuck do you want?" he shouted in a tone that was irritated.
I even heard a series of curses from him. I just kept staring at Jaxon who focused his gaze on me. I could even see his eyes narrowing at me before turning to look at his cousin.
"Mari is downstairs, looking for you," I heard Jaxon say to him seriously, and looked at me again.
Levi looks back at me. His expression went blank. The last thing I saw was the strange trembling in his eyes.
Who's Mari?
