You'll bite my lip,

and I'll want you more,

until we end up in a heap on the floor.

\ red tulips ~ true love, passion \


{Levi pov}

It was almost Christmas, both our families were going to be here, and she was moving in the week after, but the amount of times she's already been coming here makes me feel like this is already our home.

It was three days before Christmas when she came over to help decorate my place.

"Okay, we'll put this here, and this there." She stood with her hands on her hips, seriously assessing where the decorations should go.

I leaned against the wall, watching her, smirking at how bossy she sounds when she's serious.

She turned to look at me, "Levi, stop it." She whined.

"Come here."

She walked towards me with a blush on her face, "Levi, we've really got to..." I cut her off, kissing her.

"You're hot when you're bossy."

"Ugh, let's start already, Levi." She whined blushing again.

We set up the Christmas tree, setting our theme colour at blue and white, and put up the mistletoe, and discussed what food we should prepare.

Once everything was done, it was already late and I asked her to stay over which she agreed. We settled on some pizza and mint chocolate chip ice cream.

"Remember our diner? And the ice cream parlour we used to go?" She asked, adorably thinking while her brows furrowed.

"Of course, I miss the French fries there, oh and Mr.Phillip's ice cream was the best, he would give us lots of free ice cream."

"Hahaha, yes! That's cause we went too many times, sometimes even twice a day." She giggled.

"And whose fault is that, hmm?" I tickled her, causing her to laugh non-stop.

"Levi...stop...Levi...I swear...I'll..." She said in between her laughs.

"You'll what, sweetheart, huh?"

"I'll murder... you in... your sleep."

By the time, I stopped tickling her, she was half straddling me, her shirt ridden up to her chest, leaving little to imagination. The situation was well...awkward. I cleared my throat, my hands on her bare hips, causing her to shiver from the touch.

She quickly pulled her shirt down and got off me carefully, "Sorry." She muttered.

I eyed her carefully. We've never talked about doing that before, but I didn't want to rush her, if she doesn't want to do it, then I wasn't going to force her either.


{Echo pov}

It was finally Christmas. After that day, I don't know why but I kept on thinking what it'd be like if he made love to me, I knew he wasn't a virgin, but I was, and although he hasn't made any advances towards me either, so I keep thinking does he or does he not want to do it with me?

"Come on, let's go Echo! Are your parents there already?" Alison asked me.

"Yeah, they should be in 10 minutes, his parents are there already, and Lucas and Layla are reaching in half an hour."

When we reached Levi's place, it felt like home, watching all our families together, hugging them, catching up with them, the warmth radiated through my body, and I felt at ease. I felt Levi's presence at my side, his hand around my waist, while we talked to our parents.

"You've grown up so beautifully, Echo." Mrs. Black complimented, taking my hand in hers.

"Thanks, Jenna."I smiled. Our parents didn't like to be called by their last names, so we're used to calling them by their first names.

"Darling, I'm just glad Levi finally realised he needs you." Mr.Black, John said.

Laughter erupted from the room, and I replied, "I need him as much." I smiled at Levi.

"Thank you for taking care of her, Levi. If she ever brought another guy home, I'd literally investigate the guy's background," my dad said.

"My pleasure, sir. She's the one keeping me in place, Troy." Levi said to my dad.

My mom suddenly got up and hugged Levi tight, all of us at the table shocked.

"I've always loved you like mine, Levi. Thank you." My mom started tearing up. I guess I get it from her.

"I've always loved you like my mother too, Pattie. I owe you for bringing up such a strong woman." Levi told her.

Our Christmas went on well, with words of goodbye to Alison, and tears of assurance that we'd all meet again someday.

Soon, everyone started leaving and I told Alison I would stay over at Levi's place today.

"Ask him about it," she winked. "I'm sure he wants to ravish you." She said, making me blush.

"Bye, Alison." I said.

After clearing the food, and cleaning up the place, we sat at the couch, he made me close my eyes, as he brought my Christmas present to me. He told me he wanted to give it to me after everyone left, which made me extremely curious. I got him a watch he's been eyeing for a long time, with his name inscribed at the back of the gold watch.

"Okay, open your eyes."

I saw a wrapped small box and a bouquet of red tulips.

I took the card to read it, when he stopped me asking me to open the present first.

I nodded, carefully unwrapping the gift, and I saw the most beautiful gift I've ever received in my entire life.

It was a galaxy pendant, and it looked so enchanting and majestic.

"Do you want me to put it on for you?" He asked.

"Yes. Oh my god, Levi, thank you, I really love it, it's so exquisite, so divine."

He pushed my hair to the side, hooking the necklace, before softy kissing the bare part of my shoulder, his lips lingering for some time. I could feel my heart rate increase at his touch.

I took the red bouquet of tulips, taking out the card, reading it.

"To my sweetheart,

Red symbolises true love and passion.

My love for you will never falter,

and I will keep assuring you,

that I crave for you, and I love you.

Sweetheart, although this may the last message,

before we start a new chapter,

I will never stop bringing you flowers,

I will never stop dancing with you,

I will never stop baking with you,

I will never stop making you blush,

I will never stop loving you,

because you, Echo,

you are my galaxy, my true love.

From, your sweetheart.


I stood up, standing in between his legs, while he held my hips. I held his face, bringing it upwards to kiss him. I kissed him like there was no tomorrow, I kissed him with passion, with a burning desire, with love.

He pulled my hips, brought me to straddle him on his lap, my legs wrapped around his waist, my hands around his neck, and the kiss never ending.

I pulled away slightly out of breath, whispering on his lips, "Make love to me." I held him tighter, in fear he would disappear and all this was just a dream.

His eyes widened slightly, before gently putting a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Are you sure?" He asked, genuinely concerned, like he didn't want to hurt me, like I was made of glass.

"Yes, Levi. Make love to me, please. I want you, Levi." I whined impatiently.

He stood up with me in his arms, kissing me like I was the oxygen he needed and he was the oxygen I needed. He walked up the stairs holding my bare thighs, almost dropping me because of the way we were kissing.

When we reached his room, he put me gently on the bed, asking me once more, "Echo, are you sure?"

I knew it was going to hurt, considering this was my first time, but I wanted it to be with him, that I was sure of.

"Levi, yes, I'm sure. I need you."

I was seeing stars, seeing the galaxy, when he penetrated into me, kissing every inch of my body, like he worshipped me. Every piece of clothing of mine and his discarded and forgotten, on the floor.

The irony of it all was that I was still dressed with two of my greatest possessions, the star bracelet and the galaxy necklace. It was like every part of me was his, and he knew that.

And that was how our night went, our naked bodies tangled in the sheets, him whispering sweet words of encouragement when he entered me, ruining me for him, and only him.

His touch burned my skin with passion, our sweaty bodies joined as one, making love to me on this unforgettable heavenly, bewitching night.
