Hopefully, that went as planned. If they were mean to you, I’ll kick their asses.
I love your personality.
I love your loyalty to those you care about.
I love that you speak your mind.
I love that you care about so much.
The list will never end. It’s always set on ‘to be continued’ because you never cease to amaze me with how wonderful you are. Your final card is where today’s journey started.
Forever yours,
Levi
I quickly hug my mom and dad again, and head back out to the valet. Once I’m in the car, I was thinking about my day. Every part of the journey was with someone I loved, and now I’m going to the one that I love the most. Never has anyone made me feel so special. My heart is pounding as I pull into my parking lot. I grab my box that has my jersey in it, and head up my stairs. I open my door to see Levi standing in the middle of my living room. His sexy smirk makes my knees weak.
We don’t say anything, even though I want to leap into his arms and never let him go. In his hands is my last card. I walk all the way in, sit my box on the couch, and reach for the card. I open it and begin to read his beautiful words.
Chapter Sixteen
Levi
I love how I am with you.
I love that you love me. Down to the every perfectly hard muscle. ;)
I love you with everything that I am and I mean it every time I say it.
I love that you were the one to change everything for me. You were exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. Meeting you, learning about you, and knowing you changed me. That’s the kind o
f person you are, Smarty. You change the lives of those around you, just by being in it and being you.
Because of you, I am the man standing before you today. Because of you and what I learned from you, my parents are proud of me. Because of you, I’m happier than I’ve ever been.
I’d do anything for you, Presley. Anything.
My love for you will live forever.
Forever yours,
Levi
My eyes are trained on Presley. Her hands are trembling as she holds the card in her hand, but she hasn’t looked at me yet and it’s been two minutes since she opened the card. Why hasn’t she said anything yet? Does she hate it? Does she hate everything? Why hasn’t she looked at me?
“Presley,” I say softly, tentatively.
Suddenly, she jumps into my arms, hugging me tightly with her face buried in my neck and her legs around my waist. I hold her against me, and she whispers, “I love you. Thank you for today.” Presley pulls back to look at me, her eyes watery as she gives me a small smile. “But I thought that Valentine’s Days are supposed to be spent with each other.”
“We’ve got all night, Smarty.” I smirk.
She laughs before crashing her lips against mine. Her kiss is urgent, but I have no plans whatsoever to fuck her tonight. I step forward until her body is pressed between a wall and me. Presley moans when I nip her lower lip and slow the kiss down. I want to savor the taste of her and how it feels when her tongue entwines around mine. Every sensation, I want to cherish and treasure as if I’ll never experience it again.
I pull Presley’s tongue into my mouth, barely grazing my teeth along it and suck on it hard before allowing it to play with mine again. Fuck, I’m getting off course here. With every fiber in my being, I somehow manage to end our kiss. It takes everything in me not to get sucked into those brown eyes and those red lips.
“Why’d you stop?” Smarty says breathlessly.
“Because if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to stick to my plan.”
