Refusing Rejection [UN COMPLETED]

39 What We Could Be

"I'm going to kill him," Anouchka announced loudly as both she and Jane stood outside the Pastine International Airport in Ciampino, right near Rome, in the cold. It had gotten dark really quickly during the time they'd been waiting for their mates to show up with their so called rental car. And although Anouchka was very adamant about wanting Luke and Levi to hurry to get to them, Jane was glad for the extra few moments to sort herself out.

There was no logical explanation for why she was so nervous but she was, she truly was and it was really messing with her mind. Nothing had changed between her and Levi, but at the same time she felt as though her whole world had changed. Maybe all this European air was toying with her head.

"I'm sure they'll be here soon," Jane muttered folding her arms across her chest against the cold.

What was she going to do when she saw Levi, act normal? Was there even such a thing as normal between them? She couldn't remember. She really shouldn't have come here, if she was still back home then she wouldn't be doubting their meeting like this would she?

Shaking away her wayward thoughts, Jane turned to Anouchka, "Remind me again how we're going to convince them to let us go to France?"

"Leave it to me," Anouchka assured her angrily glaring at her phone, "I know those two like the back of my hand, I'll come up with something."

Just as the words left Anouchka's mouth, Jane felt a familiar tingling at the base of her spine. Without turning her head she knew that Levi was walking towards her. She could tell simply from the way, her body acted like the air had just been charged with electricity, the way her heart started to beat a little faster and her throat seemed to go dry.

Jane took a deep reassuring breath as she spun around and was immediately hit by his intoxicating scent, enough that she swayed on her feet slightly. Their eyes locked and all she could do was stare. In the short amount of time that she'd been apart from him he'd somehow become more attractive and it was doing things to her. And seeing him several feet away from her confirmed her fears – somehow she'd come to care for him a lot more then she should.

As he stood in front of her, Jane could think of a million things she wanted to just yell and scream at the top of her lungs. There was a ton of things she could've said, but she just stood there and stared in all her wonder-eyed glory.

"Nice of you two to finally show," Anouchka snapped from beside her, and dragging her gaze away from Levi she noticed that Luke had also made an appearance. She felt that this looked like some sort of wild-west standoff.

She remembered that Luke was still trying to wolfs bane out of his system, and that because of the poisonous herb still in his veins, he was able to be within talking distance of Anouchka.

Luke folded his arms across his chest, and had a knowing smirk on his face, "Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Ecstatic." Anouchka replied, hauling her carry on up off the pavement, "You said you have a hotel to take me to?"

Luke shook his head at Anouchka reaching a hand out, he grabbed her bag and took hold of her elbow as he steered her in the direction of the rental car. After they were gone, Jane felt an awkward silence settle between her and Levi and not wanting to enter into another staring contest she stared at her shoes.

Say something.

A little voice was chanting in her head, just say something.

Taking a deep breath Jane looked up as she said, "Hi."

She raised her eyes towards Levi's and tried to discern the expression on his face, but for the life of her she couldn't figure it out. He looked both irritated with her and almost kind of, relieved. Whatever was going on in his mind was a complete roller-coaster and she waited nervously for him to speak.
