Chapter Fourteen

Levi

I see Noah’s truck in the driveway when I pull up to the house and my mind instantly goes into a panic wondering what he’s said to Kali. He hasn’t been exactly welcoming to her, so I hope he hasn’t said anything tonight to contradict me telling her she’s welcome to stay with us.

The house is quiet when I step inside until I hear a glass being set down in the kitchen. When I turn the corner, Noah is standing behind the bar, pouring two glasses of whiskey. “Have a drink with me.”

“What’s the occasion?” I drop my stuff on the table and take a stool at the bar, watching him closely as I try to figure out where his head is.

“Do I need a special occasion to drink with my best friend of fifteen years?”

“Thought you were going to be gone for a week.” He hands me one of the glasses and leans back against the cabinet, facing me while he slowly sips the whiskey from the glass.

“I drove for four days, then decided I was ready to be home.” I follow his lead and sip the drink, eyeing him over the rim.

“Four days of driving. It’s been a while since you’ve pulled that stunt.” I know him. He only drives like that when it involves Kali. He uses the road as his thinking time, only in the past it was for two days at a time.

“Yeah, I guess it has.” His voice becomes lower when I hear footsteps behind me. I don’t look back to see Kali, I know it’s her by the look on his face.

I can tell he’s up to something and I’m half tempted to beat his ass just for what my mind is concocting as a possible scenario of his intentions.

“To fucking off in the past, fucking for fun in the present, and fucking up in the future.” He lifts his shot glass and holds it over the bar as he waits for us to both join him. I raise mine and she slowly follows, both of us looking at him like he’s a mental case ready to blow.

“That’s a lot of fucking, my dear friend.”

“You should relate to that,” he shoots back quickly, pouring us all another shot.

“Noah, what are you doing?” Her voice is low, almost like she’s scared to poke the crazy that’s lingering in the room.

“Can’t a guy just have a few drinks with his friends?” He hands her the shot glass again, both glaring imaginary daggers into each other’s eyes before she takes it.

“One more and I’m going to go shower the trashy whores off me,” I speak up, interrupting their intense zoned in behavior. There’s obviously
