Chapter 38: Sensation
My eyes travelled around the large headquarters. It doesn't look like headquarters, it's much like of a mansion, actually.
The front doors were open and the living room was empty. And the whole place seemed like people haven't arrived yet.
Wait. How come they haven't? All of us went together at France, just separated at the car bay.
I was standing by the front doors trying to be comfortable. Okay, let's just say that I'm not capable of overcoming my shyness especially that the crew just said that most of the casts were going to stay here.
"Mind coming in?" Levi asked mixing it with a bit of sarcasm.
He was trailing upstairs as if he lived here before. Wait, doesn't he?
"Uh, yeah. Sorry." I cleared my throat awkwardly.
Levi and I still hadn't overcome our sarcasm for each other as you can see, by the way. Even if we now in the stage of courtship. Let's say treating each other like kinda frienemies will never change, maybe just a bit, but I think it won't because it is one of the main reasons that made us closer.
I followed his tracks due that I have no exact memory map for this huge mansion. The second floor contains plenty of rooms and each room has a name plate indicated in doors.
Levi went left while I went right in the hallway, both of us pulling out suitcase with us.
I slide my finger on every wall through every doors, identifying the names of each room until I reached the door with my name on a plate provided for me.
I touched the cold knob and opened the door revealing a room with plenty of space. My mouth dropped.
It's larger than my room. -,-
I entered the room with large glass windows and dark blue wide curtains. It has a queen size bed and a bundoir. All modern styled and organized. I can't help but stare all around at how elegant it looks. I wonder how the other's room looks.
-Lego House - Ed Sheeran
I'm gonna pick up the pieces
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down
I placed my suitcase aside and put down my purse down in the edge of the bed to open the 12 feet tall curtain and let the lights in.
My three words have two meanings
There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you
I stepped back and smiled.
"Perfect."
"Seems to enjoy the place, huh?" A familiar voice spoke behind.
I turned only to see Levi's smirk and leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed.
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
I shrugged and chuckled, looking around. "We'll be staying here for more than weeks so... yeah."
He didn't responded instead walked in, closing the door behind him. I watched him as he took a step closer and locked his eyes on me.
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
Levi took a step more leaning in.
My cheeks flushed red. Owkaay? What was happening?
I think I love you better now
He leans in more until the gap of our faces were just centimeters away, his lips slowly parted and I closed my eyes, waiting to feel his lips into mine.
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
My eyes shot open as I felt his soft finger on my face.
I think I love you better now
He smirks and pinched my cheeks. "Have I told you that you're cute?"
I made a poker face. Disappointed. Yeah of course, who would be? I thought he was about to ki- no, jeez, shut up.
I'm gonna paint you by numbers and color you in
If things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall
"Look at your reaction," he chuckled and pulled me closer, closing the inch gap between our bodies, locking me with his arms. "How disappointed my little brat is?"
"Wha-?!" I paused myself when I felt heat rose to my cheeks making it rosy that made me avert my gaze in embarassment.
Levi chuckles at my reaction.
And it's so hard to say it but
I've been here before
And I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours
"Don't look away, belle..." he lifts up my chin up slowly with his soft fingers while keeping me close to him that I almost feel his heartbeat.
"Stop calling me pretty..." I mumble.
"And why not?" He leaned on my ear, whispering. "Aren't you beautiful?"
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
I gulped, feeling his breath behind my ear that almost reached my neck tickled me.
His warm breathe gave me chills through my spine that made me more nervous while my mind and imagination travels into much more wildness. I'm so nervous on what will happen next but I kept my mouth shut.
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind,
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
Instead of doing something far from my imagination, instead Levi hugged me tightly, caressing my head and intertwining his fingers through my locks.
"Levi...?" I asked while slowly brushing my fingers through his back, hugging him.
"Hmm?" Levi hummed in response.
"Is there something bothering you?"
I felt his jaw moved, giving me a clue that he made another rare expression.
"No..." he looked into my orbs. "I'm just glad that at least I can do this to you now."
A smile formed my lips after hearing those little words. "I see."
Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking
And it's more than I can take
Our eyes, stared at each other when silence came. Levi touched my cheeks and pulled me as much as closer and leaned in slowly.
My eyes watched as he does, hoping that this time it'll never be a joke.
And if it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
And he did.
Slowly but sweetly... he brushed his soft thin lips into mine. An adrenaline run through my veins that send butterflies through my stomach.
'That feeling... I've missed it.' I thought.
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
He continued to kiss me, savoring each corner of my lips just as I kissed him back. His hand travelled through my arms and to my waist. My hands that were just recently behind him slowly run through his back and through his nape.
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done
I think I love you better now
Our eyes were closed but we know what was happening.
His hands kept moving through my waist as I ran my fingers through his soft raven hair.
He moved forward that made me step backwards, slowly by slowly we stepped back until the back of my thigh hit the soft matress.
Levi noticed it so he leaned in more until I subconsciously sat on the edge of the bed.
He licks the bottom of my lips that definitely surprised me. I have no idea what to do next so I just kept kissing him back until his knee sat on the edge of the bed slowly pushing me down to lay.
Being ignorant on how to respond, he run his fingers under my shirt that surprised me, giving him the chance to slip his tongue inside my mouth.
Another feeling of adrenaline run through me that gave me another chance to feel those butterflies inside me.
I'm out of touch...
His fingers stayed at my abdomen, caressing on my skin a bit.
He explored every inch of my mouth with his soft tongue that made me release a muffled moan. He kept on doing that until it turned into a battle of dominance.
I'm out of touch...
Levi, I don't know how you did it... but I just suddenly felt the urge for me to just follow you were doing...
I don't what is this... but feeling this foreign element run through me felt so good.
It feels magical.
Is this what temptation feels like?
I'm out of love...
In the end of the battle, Levi won due that I pulled away if it wasn't for the damn air. I heard ourselves panting as I slowly shot my eyes open, realizing that I was laying on the bed and Levi was on top of me.
I still felt his hand under my shirt, but I know he's bracing himself from getting far than this.
I'll pick you up when you're getting down...
He was staring into me with his beautiful steel gray eyes, than even if it is indeed intimidating it was still majestic.
He smiles and chuckles. "I thought you had amnesia," he removed the hair that blocked my face and put it behind my ear.
"But it seems like we've done this before." He whispered on my neck and nibbled on my ear that earned him a small surprised moan from me.
And out of all these things I've done,
I can't believe this happened. I always do, anyway...
I'll love you better now...
Levi was about to place his lips back to mine when a knock was suddenly heard from my door.
"Ms. (L/n)?" The door knob turned and the door revealed a girl with a name tag that says Dianne.
Her eyes widened as there's a visible blush in her face. "Mr. Ackerman! You're here?! O-oh, I mean-! I-I'm sorry for interrupting but the whole cast gathered downstairs!"
She closed the door. "Please come immediately! Mr. James is waiting!" She yelled then we heard her hurrying footsteps running downstairs.
My eyes widened at the scene and I facepalmed.
"Now, they will all gonna think.of us did something like-"
"Normally, couple would do." Levi finished me off.
It wasn't the whole statement I was actually gonna say but what he said apparently relieved me.
"Okay?" I raised a brow.
We realized the position both of us were and our cheeks flushed red.
I cleared my throat until Levi get off me.
"We better get going or else they'll think of us finishing this stuff into something... uhh mature." He said, kinda embarrassed.
"Y-yeah.." I stood up, fixing my outfit and hair.
"But before we head downstairs." He leaned into my face once again while smirking and gave me a peck on my lips. "You're a good kisser, brat."
