Levi Read Mga Nobela at Kwento

My list was almost like training for the real thing. We were both busy on our phones as they pinged with the messages being sent and I finally gave my phone to Levi. He sat there for maybe an hour and read through everything that Jules had sent me. I nursed the glass of whiskey in front of me and waited for him to say something. “Well fuck me,” Levi said finally and it was the first time I had ever heard him swear. “Do you understand now?” I asked him as he looked at me. “Geez kid, yeah, I get it,” he said to me.

“I’m just giving Eboni a break.” Levi shakes his head, a knowing look in his eyes. “It suits you,” he says softly, leaning against the counter. “Being a mom.” I feel my cheeks flush, my gaze dropping to Isabelle as I reach to feed her a small spoonful. She opens her mouth eagerly, her eyes wide with delight. For a moment, we sit in comfortable silence, the only sound the gentle clink of the spoon against the bowl. Levi takes a deep breath, as if steeling himself for something. “I’ve been thinking,” he starts, his voice hesitant. “When this is all over, I want to get my GED.”

Ready. “This is him?” I asked Stacy, still holding Levi’s hand. He nodded. “My top choice.” Levi released my hand and glanced at Stacy. “Want me to sit, or stay standing?” “Sit,” I said before Stacy could answer. He did. I studied him as the waitress brought his drink—a water, no lemon, already ordered by Stacy ahead of time. “So Levi,” I said, picking up my fork but not eating. “How do you feel about reading romance novels in case I want to talk about my book boyfriends on the ride to work?”

He goes after any and all injustice, and he's good with this shit. I met Levi my freshman year in college, and we've been thick ever since. He's not my lawyer just because of his intelligence and case record, but because of his personality, because of the man he is. A standup guy with a heart of gold and the instincts of a school of piranha scenting fresh blood in the dirty waters of the Amazon. And he loves fucking with anyone who fucks with me.
