The Fifth Letter

12

Evangelina Miller:

Today is June 21st, or my birthday. I've never been allowed to celebrate it in the past, seeing as my sister was always a year older than me and born on the same day. Which meant she's more important

I've been in the house with Levi for the past week and it's been nice to say the least. We don't see each other much, he's usually out at work, and I've just been spending my time reading. The only times I've seen his this week have been talking about the upcoming missions.
We have one tomorrow night but it's nothing as crazy as the last one.

"Hey." Levi says as he whips open my door

"Jesus!" I shout jumping and pulling the blanket over my body

"Hm, no, just me, sorry to disappoint. It's nearly 4 pm, and you're in..pyjamas?" He asks tilting his head to try and see under the blanket

"Uh yeah, nothings happening today." I state confused "Oh! Wait is the mission today? I thought it was tomorrow, I'll get ready now." I say standing up letting the blankets fall off of me

"No, the missions tomorrow, I- um" he tries, looking me up and down, focusing on my waist
I'm wearing grey sweatpants and a sports bra.
I quickly wrap my arms around myself and encourage him to continue on what he was saying before.

"Well. I have- We have plans tonight. So get ready, we're leaving at 5" he finally finishes clearing his throat

I stand up and change into ripped jeans and a long sleeved black shirt, then throwing on a Tame Impala shirt over top. As I walk down the stairs I see Levi. He's leaning against the counter on the phone.

"Yeah...obviously.....Jesus Christ hurry up....yes we will be there at 5:10." He finishes, slamming his phone down on the kitchen counter. Instantly causing me to flinch, when I uncover my face I see his eyes. He looks confused, and slightly worried.

"Let's go." He says snapping back to his regular face.

When we get into the Mercedes he takes a deep breath and lifts his hips readjusting himself in the seat letting my mind run wild. As I'm day dreaming I realize Levi is staring at me with a flit of amusement in his eyes.
Clearing my throat I turn away from him trying to get over the embarrassment we drive for a while and I keep quiet, listening to the music he has playing. It's mainly a mix of Chase Atlantic, Frank Ocean, and Brent Faiyaz.
There's quite a few songs I recognize and some I don't, as I'm drifting off into thought Congratulations by Mac Miller starts playing and my heart does a backflip.

"Oh my goodness! I love this song, Divine Feminine is easily my favourite album" I say looking over to him

"You listen to Mac Miller?" He asks quizzically

"Mhm! What's your favourite album?" I question, now curious of how much he listens to the artist

"Watching Movies With The Sound Off, probably" he says glancing over to me

I quickly realize he doesn't want to talk, so I just zone out again until the car comes to a stop
Looking around I don't see much, just a basic venue on a large field.

"C'mon, we're gonna miss it" Levi states opening my door for me

We walk for a moment, before he plops down on a blanket I hadn't seen while walking. I look down at him and he meets me eyes, then lifts his lips into a smirk.

"Hey, if you wanted me on my knees all you had to do was ask." He grins

I visibly scowl as I sit down, turning away from him. He tries to get my attention but when I refuse he sighs and starts digging in a bag also on the blanket.
