Kate (Completed)

Chapter 2

Oh here we go.. I try to hold steady... Kate I need to ride down with me to see dad.. he's been asking and I can't.. I can't tell him that we separated, you know It'll break his heart. I don't wanna do it anymore than you do but you're like a daughter to him.. So please just for a week of reunion we go down and then well tell everyone before we leave.. Levi I don't think that's a good idea. I love your family but we can barely handle five minutes together without fighting.. Honey we're doing a good job so far he remarks.. Oh god. NO no no no no... s**t I let my guard down.. Fine but it's only for your family but we can't fight and NO sex.. it'll just makes it worse. I see the words sting but he knows it's true and so do I.. Roof!! ROOF!!! you better pet her... Hi girl, how are you? I missed you.. those to always get along so well.. It's adorable.. I shift trying to find something to talk about or see if he wants anything else.. So umm.. when do we leave? Sunday morning we'll catch a 9am flight .. ok.. are we staying at your dads or a hotel? You know damn well he'll insist we stay there.. Ugh ok fine but I get the bed... last time I sleep on the chair I had a stiff neck for a week... Kate we can share a bed It'll look weird if we don't and the only reason you sleep in the chair was because you.. he stops mid sentence I know exactly what he's going to say because we were fighting and I got pissed he begged me to come back to bed apologized and everything but I was so furious I couldn't let it go and that's when things got worse. Levi it's the past let's just have a good week. I promise to not pick a fight as long as you don't he smirks. I wish he wouldn't do that.. ugh I have to tamper down these feelings. I go to say something and his phone rings as usual.. for the first time in years he ignores it. . Isn't that isn't that important? I stutter. Levi called them back.. I plead.. Kate I'm using vacation time.. I'm here because .. well I wanted to ask about you coming to dads and for us to pull off our bluff we need to spend time together to do this. Levi why couldn't you never mind.. ok fine but.. you sleep in the spare room. Ok that's fine I'll go get my stuff he walks out grabs a bag and comes back in. He smirks and he knew damn well I'd agree.. I swear Levi no funny business.. he smirks. We go upstairs and put his stuff in the spare room.. I see you've changed a few things.. Yeah not much though. He sighs Kate I.. I'm sorry. I try to tamper down the tears trying to escape. I look away and start downstairs. Well what were you planning on doing since it's like 6 am now on a wednesday. I walk back in the kitchen and get another cup of coffee. You want some.. yea sure he goes over the cabinets nothing changed all in the same place. He moves closer brushing his fingers over mine goosebumps covering my arms as I try to restrain myself. I pick up your cup trying to avoid the s****l tension. I'm going to shower and I'll be back. I run upstairs and finally when I reach the bathroom the tears flow. What am I going to do? I love him so much why did it end this maybe; maybe this week will help us. I start the shower steam rolls through the curtain. I hear a nose. I know it's him standing outside the door debating on whether to come in.. I hold my breath hoping he will. My heart drops as I hear him walk away. I get in as the hot steamy water runs down my body. I try to calm myself. This is going to be so hard. I finish throwing my hair in the bun, pull on some pj's and head down stairs. He is sitting in the living room playing with Lea. I see she's missed you.. so haven't I thought to myself. I try hiding the blush. I've missed her too. Did you need to shower if so towels are in the same place? No kate I wanna talk.. Levi you know where that leads. Damnit kate I'm trying to be civil please talk to me. I hear the crack in his voice. I'm sorry what is it that you want to talk about. Kate.. hmm.. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to.. silence fills the air waiting for one of us to speak. I feel the tears trying to escape.. I hate this.. he looks over I can't contain it anymore the tears start flowing he comes over kneeling in front of me.. Kate please don't cry.. I can't stand it, the crack in my voice becomes louder... I pull him in close accepting his comfort he smells so good I feel his arms wrap around me embarrassing me. Through the tears I manage to say I'm sorry... a buzzing catches our attention he pulled his phone out. Hold on min please please Kate.. I get up to wipe my face, I calm myself and wait.. He comes back in.. I'm sending dad a message saying if he needs anything to get a hold of you mine is off until we get back. What??? Levi you can't do that you have the case coming up next month and.. Kate if we were going to pull this off we need to be in it completely. I hold my breath, my heart pounding so hard I hear it in my ears.. I can't believe you're doing this... Levi why didn't you do this when we were together.. he shakes his head.. I'm doing it now. He turns his phone off and puts it up. He comes back wrapping his arms around me. The sensation is wonderful. It's a warm feeling that's been gone too long. I place my face in the crease of my neck taking in his smell. my lips brush against his neck he growls deep in his throat. I pull away blushing.. I'm sorry I didn't mean to.. old habits die hard. He pulls me in closer holding me tight.. I gently pull away. Why don't you go put some pjs on and watch a movie. It's a rainy day anyway.. He runs his fingers through his hair smirking alright. He dashes upstairs, Lea right behind him.. Feeling excited, I prepared everything. I found a movie I know we won't watch and put it in.. I hear Lea coming down the stairs with Levi right behind her. jumping on the coach and licking my face. I love you to please get down.. she jumps down and goes to her bed nub wagging and tongue hanging out smiling. I try to muffle a laugh. He raises an eyebrow and smirks at me sitting beside me wearing pjs. I got him last Christmas and of course no shirt showing every line of muscle begging to be touched. I restrain myself and press play. So what did you put in?.. You'll find out. Let me guess a romance movie or MASH 4077? Nope! I fast forward the commercials. Haha funny! We actually never paid any attention to this movie. I am looking schemingly in his eyes. Maybe we'll pay attention this time. Is that a challenge? Maybe? He smirks and I press play about 10 min in which we crack jokes about how horrible it is. I pause the movie, placing my head on my lap and looking up at him. What are you doing? I'm getting comfy. Sure you are. I raise a brow. Thinking to myself, I realize how at home I feel with him how natural this is. It's hard to believe it's only been 2 months since the separation . I set up. He took my hand. Kate and I didn't mean for you to stop. I know.. are you hungry trying to brush off whatever it is we're trying to avoid we head to the kitchen you want some scrambled eggs. I get everything ready.
