5. Son of a Beach

Levi looked away from me as he quietly chuckled, then looking back towards me to break the awkward silence. "Hey um, Dalton is hosting a party near the beach tonight. I was wondering if you wanted to come." He then threw me a small smile that exposed his cute dimples and his gleaming white teeth, weirdly heating up my surroundings.

I've been in this team for 5 weeks without talking to anyone but Trevor, I'm planning to keep it that way. "U-um I'm busy, sorry." I looked down, preparing to walk pass him.

"I don't believe you." He cooed softly, all of a sudden leaning in closer to me, which made me back up to the wall. He then placed both of his hands on the side of my shoulders, caging me inside it.

"Um, excuse me." I couldn't help but wince at him. "What are you doing?" I awkwardly murmured, trying to push his strong arms away. I felt my cheeks rapidly burn up from how close our bodies were and I didn't know what to do.

Who is this guy I barely knew, holding me hostage against the wall just because I refused to attend their dumb fuck-boy filled party that just so happens to be near the beach.

Levi charmingly clenched his defined jaw, playfully rolling his dreamy eyes to side. "We're in the same team and we don't know anything about each other. Don't you think it's a bit odd?"

"Uh no." I bluntly let out.

Levi sighed as he backed away. "I'm not taking no for an answer." He teased. "I really want you to be there! I want to know more about you. Don't you wanna be friends? Come on.." His eyes didn't bother breaking contact as he continued to talk me into saying yes.

A moment of silence all of a sudden surrounded the both of us as we looked straight at each other for what felt like hours.

Since he probably won't leave me alone, I might as well just say the answer that will shut him up.

"I'll think about it ok?" I started to feel heavily uncomfortable so I looked away from him.

"Is there a problem here?" Suddenly Logan's voice came out of nowhere, catching both of our attention.

I stayed quiet as Levi began to reply. "Yes Logan, there's a huge problem. Miss Tesfaye here doesn't wanna go to the beach party tonight."

Logan looked at me amused as he began to speak. "Arielle you should totally go. It's gonna be really fun, I promise. It'll just be a way for us to not be strangers to each other. It's kinda weird to have someone in the team I know nothing about."

Levi slowly turned towards me as he grinned. "That's what I said."

I slowly shrugged, finally giving in. "Well, can I bring a friend?" I awkwardly asked, knowing Vanessa would go crazy if I didn't invite her.

Logan nodded at me as Levi cheerfully replied. "Of course! The more the merrier. Come by at 6:00." Levi's English accent sounded so smooth and inviting, making it so hard to say no.

"Where is the party?" I asked.

Logan and Levi slowly gave each other weird looks as Logan proceeded to walk away, Levi's cheeks reddening towards me. "Give me your number and I'll send it to you." Levi's charming voice became enticingly deeper as I felt my heart begin to melt.

This sneaky bastard.

I couldn't help but laugh as he tried to hide his happiness in getting my number. What's the big deal? It's just a freaking number. "Now get out, I have to change." I playfully demanded him away, making him chuckle to himself.
