I couldn’t stop looking at him.

While I always knew Levi was attractive, even before I knew him - even before I lived with him -, something about his energy tonight had my eyes glued to his every move. Or maybe it was the fact that his every move went simultaneously with Hope’s as she basically plead her case for why he should fuck with her.

“You sound jealous…” I thought to myself as I rolled my eyes and took a hearty sip of my martini, swishing it around the glass before taking another sip to finish it off. But when I went to stand up, it was clear I shouldn’t have drank it so fast as I stumbled a little when I stepped down from my bar stool.

“Damn, girl. You’re faded already?” Wes asked as he caught me by the arm even though I was already stable. And since I was, I had no problem snatching my arm away from his crusty ass hands.

“It was only one drink. I’m good,” I told him as I leaned against the bar top near the stool I had just abandoned.

And for whatever reason, Wes took it upon himself to take over the spot I had just left as he insisted, “I’m just trying to help, but you’re too mad at Levi for fuckin’ with your girl to even realize that.”

“I am not mad at him. Why would I be mad at him? It’s a free country and he’s a free man,” I replied, trying to convince myself more than him that it was the truth.

But my attempt obviously wasn’t strong enough as Wes answered, “Because ya’ll like each other. It’s obvious. The same way you’re mad right now is the same mad that got us here in the first place. You know he only wanted to get up out of there cause he saw how close you were getting to ol’ boy.”

While I was more than happy to get from up under Jermaine once he started trying so hard to impress me and then doubled down by trying to stunt on Levi, I was honestly flattered that Levi’s efforts were out of the same jealousy I felt right now.

Still, that didn’t stop me from defending, “Jermaine is just a friend of mine.”

“Well ya’ll didn’t look like friends. Not to me and definitely not to Levi.”

“Good thing it’s neither one of ya’ll’s business, huh?” I asked with a roll of my eyes as I watched Hope try way too hard for Levi’s attention.

And my heavy gaze must’ve been visible as Wes followed it before he said, “Look. Do you need me to run interference or not?”

“Interference? What are you talking about, Wes?”

“You know, get your man over here with you. Where he belongs.”

I was quick to defend, “He’s not my man. He’s just my…”

“Friend? Yeah, he said the same thing about you. So like I said, you need my help or you just gonna be the salty one all night?” he asked as he leaned in near my ear without saying anything.
