Hi! Just wanted to say I read chapter two of A Trip to Remember and it was so good!!! I’m loving the story so far and can’t wait to see where things go 😊

Hi!! Thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it 🥰

Chapter 3 - Friday Night

Nothing too exciting happened for the rest of the week. You went to classes like normal and hung out with your friends after. You and Eren started talking more and more. He was a really nice guy so you were hoping to include him in your friend group soon. Levi was good at maintaining his distance. Honestly you forgot he was there sometimes, and you two never spoke about your nightmare.

Friday evening rolled around and you were giddy with excitement. Sasha came over to get ready with you.

“Tonight is the night that I make my move on Connie”, Sasha said confidently with a smile.

Your eyes widen, “Finally! You should definitely go for it. He’s totally into you.” You smile at the thought of your two friends being together.

“What about you?”, She asks.

You tuck your hair behind your ear nervously, “Well honestly, I need to get laid soon.” You both bust into laughter.

Once you finally stop laughing you continue, “It’s been way too long and it’s starting to make me cranky.”

Sasha smiles and says, “So do you have your eyes on anyone? Jean maybe?”

You gasp, “Not Jean! He’s way too arrogant and would never let me live it down! Besides, he’s into Mikasa and I don’t want to get in the way of that.”

Sasha nods, “Is it just going to be a random hookup then?”

“I think so. It’s better that way, easier to get over. That way I don’t have any attachments”, You respond somewhat confidently.

Sasha can hear the hint of sadness in your voice, “What if you try dating again?” She continues softly, “Not every guy is out to hurt you. You are an amazing person, Y/n. I really think there’s someone out there that could make you happy.”

You look at Sasha and smile, “You’re the best, you know that right? But I don’t know if I’m ready for that yet. My last relationship was so shitty, it definitely tainted my views of relationships and love.”

Sasha puts her hand on your shoulder, “Then hookup it is! Do you know what you’re going to wear?”

You both start getting ready. Blaring music and giggling, you’re having so much fun you don’t even realize what time it is.

“Shit! The rest of the gang will be here in 15 minutes!”, You shout.

You start scrambling and putting on the final touches. You spent more time on your hair and makeup than you usually do. Finally perfecting the winged eyeliner, you apply your lipstick.

You look in the mirror and smile. You can’t help but feel a boost of confidence. You’re wearing your favorite pair of light washed denim that hugs your curves just right. On top you have a black silk tank top bodysuit with a deep v neck.

Sasha gawks at you, “Uh, Y/n. Your boobs look amazing!!”

You laugh and finish curling your last strand of hair. Your h/c hair is so long that it goes a little past your chest.

You tell Sasha to finish getting ready and you leave your room to wait in the living room. You’re shocked to find Levi sitting on the couch in somewhat normal clothes. He has black jeans and a white t-shirt on.

“You’re not actually planning on coming with us, are you?”, Your voice not hiding your surprise.

Levi stands up and crosses his arms, “I have very clear instructions, Y/n. Your father doesn’t want me to leave you, so yes I will be going to this stupid party with you.” He’s clearly annoyed.

You roll your eyes. I’m sure Levi attending won’t be the worst thing in the world, right?

An hour goes by and you and your friends are pretty tipsy and full on snacks.

“Let’s get this show on the road!”, Jean yells.

Everyone else yells in agreement.

“Tch”, Levi has been standing in the corner of the room watching all of us take shots. Refusing any liquor or food.

Your friends know your situation with Levi, but at the party he will just be another friend.

Your driver pulls up in a limo you rented and you all pile in. While in the car, music is blaring and you all continue to take shots. You are starting to feel extremely tipsy.

Levi is sitting beside you so you clumsily offer him a shot.

He looks annoyed at you and shakes his head no.

“Aw come on, Levi. It’s going to be a loooong night if you’re 100% sober”, You say giggly.

He grabs the shot from you, refusing to break eye contact, and downs the shot with no reaction.

All of your friends burst into cheering, they had been trying to get Levi to loosen up. In between your laughter you glance at Levi, and for a split second you think you see what looks to be a small smile.

It is gone in an instant and Levi makes eye contact with you.

Your eyes widen and a blush creeps onto your cheeks. You let him see you like this for a moment, and then hurriedly turn your face. Your heart was racing but you weren’t sure why.

Jean shoves another shot in your hand. You quickly take the shot, a small wince appears on your face but the buzz you get is just what you need.

Your limo appears in front of a building that has college students everywhere. You look at Levi and see that he is very tense.

You have no idea what possesses you, but while your friends are getting out of the limo you playfully squeeze Levi’s thigh.

“Hey try to keep up alright?”, You wink and immediately exit the car. You are screaming in your head because you can’t believe you had the balls to do that. The interaction clearly took Levi by surprise because he took a few extra seconds to leave the car.

You run up and hug Mikasa and Sasha with both your arms.

“Let’s go dance!”, You say excitedly.

You drag the girls inside, the boys following closely behind, and find the dance floor. Mikasa clearly looks like she would rather do anything but dance. Before she’s able to leave Jean runs up with a handful of shots. We all take one and as you’re drinking yours, you notice out of the corner of your eye that Levi took one as well.

Maybe dancing wasn’t a great idea after all. The first few minutes were amazing, you and your group of friends were jumping around having the time of your life. Now Connie and Sasha are grinding so hard you feel like you shouldn’t be looking. Jean is hardcore flirting with Mikasa, and it seems to actually be working.

You look around for Armin and see that he is talking very intently to a girl with glasses.

Well shit.  

You walk over to the bar and order a mixed drink, the dancing makes you sober up a little bit. You stay at the bar while you sip on your drink. Thankfully you can feel the buzz coming on again.

You look for Levi, you find him talking to some girl with short reddish-blonde hair. You couldn’t tell what color it was in this lighting. You can see she’s very much flirting with him, while he stands there holding a beer.

You turn back to the bar and roll your eyes. It seems like everyone is having fun but me.

“Y/n?”

You turn your head and were very surprised to see this person at a party.

“Eren!”, You say with a smile.

He walks up to you and finishes his drink while asking the bartender for another one.

“What are you doing here?” He asks, clearly very happy to see you.

You point in the direction of your friends, “Oh I’m here with a group of my friends! But they seem to be more interested in each other than me”, you finish with a giggle.

He laughs, “My friends just left, do you want to maybe hang out together?”

“Of course!”, You respond with a smile.

You ask the bartender for 2 more shots. You and Eren clink your drinks together and down the shots. At this point you are feeling very tipsy, your cheeks are flushed red.

Eren, clearly also tipsy, grabs your hand and leads you to the packed dance floor.

You both start jumping around and dancing, laughing like fools. While dancing you get bumped by someone else, which causes you to back into Eren.

You start to turn to apologize, but then you feel Eren’s hands wrap around your hips. Your face flushes at this, but you continue to dance on him. You spend a few minutes grinding on Eren, he seems to be enjoying himself if you know what I mean.

You feel him wrap his arms around you from behind and put his head on your shoulder.

“You’re driving me crazy, Y/n. You’re so freaking cute when you dance”, Eren says sweetly in your ear.

You feel your stomach fluttering at his words. You feel a burst of bravery flow through you, and turn to face Eren. His arms are now wrapped around your back.

You lean in to where your lips are just inches apart and ask, “Can I kiss you?”

Eren gently grabs both of your cheeks and pulls you in to meet his lips. The first few kisses are so gentle, but you need more. You open your mouth and his tongue comes in. During this time you both had been slowly moving closer to the wall.

You feel your back push against the wall and switch flips in Eren. Now you two are making out and you feel his hands slowly go down from your face cheeks, to your ass cheeks. He gently squeezes them and you moan into his mouth.

Thankfully the room isn’t well lit and the music is still going. You and Eren aren’t being much of a distraction.

His hands squeeze your ass again. You feel Eren’s hand get ripped off of your backside, and you quickly open your eyes.

You see Eren face to face with another man.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”, Levi growls.

Chapter 12 - Not My Day

Your alarm clock starts blaring and it scares the hell out of you. You quickly shut it off and turn over, checking the time on your phone. It’s 9am, today is the last day of the conference and you need to be there in an hour.

The memories of last night start running through your mind. You start to blush and wonder how you’ll be able to face Erwin and Levi today. It was only casual sex, you remind yourself.

You turn to see where Levi had slept for most of the night. You assume he snuck out before you woke up. You place your face in the pillow he laid on. Damn. It smells just like him.

You slowly sit up, and you have a headache from all the alcohol you drank last night. Thankfully the hangover isn’t too bad, but you definitely need some water. You look at your nightstand and your heart flutters. Levi had brought you a bottle of water and some advil. You chug the water and take the medicine, hopefully your headache will be gone soon.

You stand up and grab your outfit for the last day. Just a simple black pencil skirt and a white button up. You place your ear to the door, there’s no sounds coming from the living room so you bolt to the bathroom. You breathe a sigh of relief when you lock the door behind you and start the shower.

With the hot water running down your back, you start to feel alive again. And with that comes the twinge of pain that last night with Levi, will probably never happen again. You place your hands everywhere that he touched you last night, and relish in every moment.

God you wish you didn’t care. The truth is, one night stands were not your thing. You have had one previously, but it just left you feeling empty and worse. This facade that you’ve created of yourself, of being a badass woman who can sleep around and not give a shit, is crumbling.

You just desperately want someone to want you longer than an evening. Is your body really the only thing people are drawn to? You can start to feel the knot forming in your throat, your eyes are burning with tears trying to come out. You finally allow yourself to cry, keeping it as quiet as possible. You start to realize why last night is having such a heavy effect on you.

“God damn it I caught feelings”, You whisper through your tears.

You can’t deny it to yourself any longer. You have feelings for Levi, and he definitely doesn’t reciprocate those feelings.

You know that if you spoke to your father about this, he could easily have Levi replaced. But that won’t solve anything for you. These feelings are already here, never seeing him again would only hurt worse, right? At least this way you can still be in his presence, even if it’s not romantically.

You pull yourself together and finish your shower. You dress quickly and begin drying your hair. When the steam from the shower finally disappears, you see yourself in the mirror. Honestly, it hurts your heart.

After your hair is dry you listen again to see if you hear any movement in the living room. You don’t, so you sprint to your bedroom from the bathroom. You know you’re running low on time so you begin applying your makeup, making sure that you look your best.

You decide that it would be best to not bring up last night when you are around Levi and Erwin. You want to try and enjoy your last day in California before heading home.

You grab your phone and purse, you text your driver that you’re ready to be picked up. When you walk to your door, your heart starts racing because you know you’re about to see Levi. You try to shake it off, you need to act like last night didn’t affect you. You open your door and calmly walk to the kitchen. You grab a banana and as you start peeling it Levi walks around the corner.

“Hey we need to talk about last night”, He says and makes his way over to you.

Your stomach sinks because you know what’s coming. You make sure your voice is even and respond, “Okay. What about last night?”

Levi crosses his arms, “Listen, I don’t want you to take this the wrong way but it shouldn’t have happened. It was a mistake, I apologize.”

Well that was a huge punch to the gut. You try to hide your hurt.

“So was what happened in the bathroom at the ball a mistake too?”, You ask.

Levi pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs, “Yes. I’m your bodyguard, last night was totally inappropriate.”

You can’t help but think about when he held your hand in the car. Does he regret that as well? If he regrets it so much why were there multiple instances where he was showing me affection.

Levi asks, “What are you thinking?”

You can’t help but be pissed. How could he be so insensitive?

You respond, “I’m just thinking about how I should’ve just gone home with Erwin. A one night stand would’ve been much easier than hearing someone say how much they regret sleeping with you.”

You quickly put on your sunglasses to hide the tears welling in your eyes. You turn and walk out the front door.

Levi is right behind you, “Y/n! Wait! That’s not what I meant.”

Unfortunately for you, you are trapped with him in the elevator. You refuse to look at him as he stands beside you.

“I’m not saying that I regret it. I mean maybe I regret being unprofessional, but all I’m saying is that it was a mistake”, Levi says.

You give him a weak smile and ask, “Isn’t that basically the same thing?”

The elevator dings and you walk out. Levi is still going on and on about how it’s not the same thing, but you don’t listen to any of it. It’s all bullshit anyway.

Once you’re in the car, Levi finally shuts up. You look out the window and fight back the tears. You’re mad, but you’re not mad at Levi. God you wish you were mad at Levi, but no. You were mad at yourself. It’s not Levi’s fault, you knew exactly how this whole thing would go down and you still slept with him. A very stupid part of you hoped that maybe Levi would start to feel something more for you. And now he’s trying to be honest with you, and you don’t want to hear any of it.

When you arrive at the final day of the conference, most of the day feels like a blur. You’re stuck in lectures for most of the day. You’re bored out of your mind when they finally release you for the lunch break.

You sit down at a table and begin eating your lunch. You didn’t realize how hungry you were.

“Y/n!”, Erwin is smiling and walking towards you.

A blush creeps on your face and you wave to him.

Erwin sits down beside you and smiles, “So? What happened after I left!? Did you two finally sleep together?”

Your face fell, “Uh yeah. Yeah we slept together. But this morning Levi told me it was a mistake.” You blush and feel awkward, “Kind of humiliating if I’m being honest.”

Erwin looks at you concerned, “Oh god I’m so sorry, Y/n. I thought that maybe Levi would finally realize his feelings for you.” Erwin looks around, “Where is that asshole anyway?”

You shrug, “Dunno. He’s been giving me space.”

Erwin smiles softly, “If it helps, I enjoyed myself last night.”

You smile and look at him, “Really? You don’t regret it?”

He replies, “Not even a little bit. In fact, if you ever want to go again just let me know.”

You laugh and playfully nudge him, “Thank you, Erwin. That honestly made me feel a little better. And for what it’s worth, I had fun too.”

You had no romantic feelings for Erwin, but he was someone you quickly began to care for. You hope that your friendship continues once you both go back to Manhattan.

The closing ceremony was after lunch. You sat with Erwin for the rest of the day, you were honestly shocked at how normal you felt with him after last night.

You’re relieved when you’re leaving the conference, honestly you were excited to get back to the real world. It feels like you haven’t seen your friends in ages. Tomorrow is friday and you’ll get home in the evening, so maybe you can get together with your friends on saturday. You honestly just want to get plastered with your friends and forget about everything that just happened.

Once you’re in the car you pull out your phone. You open the group chat you have with your friend group.

“Hey bitches! Guess who’s coming home tomorrow hehehe. Anyone able to get drunk with me on saturday?”

You text the group and it only takes a few minutes for your phone to be blowing up from your friend’s responses. Everyone is down, and they’re figuring out which party we want to go to.

You lay your head against the car window and feel relief that you’re going home tomorrow. Saturday can’t get here fast enough.

Chapter 7 - Beach Day

The next morning you spend extra time in the shower, making sure that you’re ready to wear a bikini. The bikini you choose to wear is an olive green color. You look at yourself in the mirror. Honestly, you look amazing. You feel a surge of confidence rush through you, excited to show off your bikini.

You pack up the rest of the necessities for the day, and put on your cover up. You walk to the living room and see Levi with a pair of sunglasses on his head. This makes you giggle.

He looks at you, “What?”

You smile and reply, “Oh nothing. Are you ready to head out?”

He shakes his head yes and you head out to the car. The car ride was fairly quiet, you were comfortable in the silence with Levi. You pull up to the beach parking lot, you look at Levi and see his eyes widen at the sight of the ocean.

“Let’s go”, You smile and get out of the car.

Once you reach the sand, you take your shoes off. You see Levi look momentarily confused, and then does the same thing. You walk to a fairly secluded part of the beach and set your stuff down. The sun is boiling hot.

“Are you wanting to get in the water?”, You ask.

He thinks for a moment and then looks at you, “Do you think it’s safe?” He looks genuinely concerned.

You giggle, “As long as we don’t go too far out we’ll be fine.”

A small smile appears on his face, “Then yes. I would like to get in.”

You then reach into your bag and grab the sunscreen.

“Let’s put this on before getting in”, You say.

He nods his head in agreement. You hand him the sunscreen and he casually takes off his shirt. Your eyes widen and you quickly look away, trying to act calm. You never thought about the fact that you and Levi would be half naked while swimming.

Levi interrupts your thoughts, “Hey brat. Can you get my back?”

You respond quickly, “Oh yes!”

You stand up and put the sunscreen in your hands. Thank god Levi isn’t facing you so he won’t see the massive blush on your face. You start carefully applying the sunscreen on his bare back. Damn he is so muscular, his back is extremely attractive. You make sure you don’t miss a spot.

“Okay all done”, You say.

He turns to you, “Want me to get yours?”

“Oh yes!”, You respond as normally as you can. Your heart is pounding through your chest. You take off your shorts and then your shirt. You carefully put them back into your bag.

What you don’t see is the way Levi is checking you out. He’s completely mesmerized by your body.

You walk over to Levi and turn around. Your body breaks out into goosebumps at his touch. You aren’t sure if it’s because of the cold sunscreen, or his touch alone. He takes his time rubbing the sunscreen over your back.

When he’s done you smile and you both start to apply it to the rest of your bodies.

“Alright. Let’s head to the water!”, You say excitedly.

You both start walking, once you make it to the water you stand on the edge and let the water hit your feet.

Levi is staring out into the ocean, he looks completely relaxed. The water feels great on your feet, the hot sun beating down on you.

“Can we go in?”, Levi asks shyly.

“Of course!”, You reply.

You both start walking into the ocean. First your shins are covered, then your hips, and before you know it you’re nearly treading water.

You start laughing and you look at Levi. You’re shocked, you’ve never seen him smile so big. He looks so happy. You feel an urge to be mischievous, and splash Levi. He looks at you temporarily shocked.

“Oi, brat”, He then splashes you back.

Before you know it you both are giggling like children and splashing each other. You walk over to Levi and grab his leg. You start walking away and he loses his balance, and splashes into the water.

When he comes up he says, “Oh that’s it.”

He moves to you quickly and picks you up bridal style. He then tosses you into the water. When you come up for air you’re laughing so hard.

“Oh my god my sides hurt”, You say in between laughs.

Levi comes over and helps you fix your hair. He moves a piece out of your eyes.

He looks at you gently and says, “You’re beautiful.”

You freeze up and a blush covers your cheeks. You smile and look down, unsure of what to say.

Levi continues, “To be honest, I’ve always wanted to see the ocean. So thank you. I’m glad I could see it with you.”

You look at him, he looks so innocent. At this moment, you turn off your reasonable side. You allow your heart to take over, the side of you that has been wanting Levi overcomes you.

You walk over to him, he freezes momentarily but then relaxes. You both start leaning in and closing the gap.

“Levi”, You whisper.

“We shouldn’t,'' he replies.

Levi gently places his hands on your cheeks and pulls you in. Your lips meet and it feels like someone just released a thousand butterflies in your stomach. The first few kisses were sweet and calm. You push your hand through his hair and pull him into you with your other hand.

He deepens the kiss, your tongues are now in each other's mouths. He puts his hands on your ass and picks you up. You wrap your legs around his torso and your arms around his neck, the water is making you weightless.

He begins kissing your neck, you can’t help but release a moan. This causes him to pull your hair so your neck is completely exposed. He continues showering your neck with kisses.

“Levi”, You moan.

“Y/n, you’re so goddamn sexy”, He says darkly.

You start to feel something hard forming under you. You slowly slide your hand down his abs and feel his hard member. He growls at your touch and you begin rubbing it over his clothes.

“Fuck, Y/n”, He whispers.

You reach your hand in, and feel his cock. You pull it out of his pants and start slowly pumping it. Levi throws his head back, biting his lip. You can tell he’s holding in moans. You look around, thankfully no one is close by.

You begin pumping faster, you start leaving kisses all over his neck. You got to his collarbone and began sucking. You wanted to leave a mark on him.

“Oh shit, Y/n I’m almost there”, Levi whines.

You continue pumping him, but looking at his face distorting because of the pleasure you were causing him was making you feel warm.

You lean in and whisper in his ear, “Mmm you like that, Levi?” He grunts and immediately cums at your sultry voice.

“Oh fuck, baby”, Levi says out of breath.

Your face turns red at the sweet name he called you. You continue to slowly pump until he has ridden out his high. Making sure to leave gentle kisses on his forehead, his nose, his cheeks, and lastly his lips.

He opens his eyes and looks at you. He puts a hand on your cheek and leaves a sweet kiss on your lips.

He sighs, “We should probably get going. We have a lunch reservation.”

You smile and nod. As you’re drying off and putting your clothes back on you can’t help but wonder, does this change anything? Maybe that was just a one time thing, a moment of weakness. You glance at Levi and he seems completely back to normal. You try to hide your disappointment and get on with your day.

The rest of your afternoon was spent eating delicious food, and awkwardly making conversation with Levi. When you finally return to your hotel suite, you head to the bathroom and get in the shower. You wash away any remnants of the beach, trying to also wash away what happened in the ocean.

You gasp when you feel tears streaming down your face. What the hell is wrong with me? It’s not like you’re a virgin. You’ve had sexual encounters before with people you don’t have feelings for. Why does this feel different?

You sigh, “Fuck. I’m so stupid.”

You wipe away your tears, allowing a few more to fall. You think you might have feelings for Levi. You slap your forehead. You can’t believe you allowed yourself to be so honest. Shit this can’t be happening. But the way he touched you, and the way he was so gentle with you. It was almost like you could feel....love.

“God dammit, Y/n get it together”, You whisper and scold yourself.

You get out of the shower and dry yourself off. You slowly put your clothes on, dreading facing Levi. You know he’s probably waiting for you.

You slowly open the bathroom door and walk out. Your heart sinks when you see Levi sitting on the couch. His legs are crossed and he was clearly waiting for you.

“Y/n, come have a seat. We need to talk about what happened”, He says calmly.

You slowly walk over and sit on the couch across from him. Your hands are starting to slightly tremble.

“What happened earlier shouldn’t have happened. I apologize. I was so happy and I let that cloud my judgment”, Levi says curtly.

You nod your head and respond quietly, “Okay.”

Levi raises an eyebrow clearly confused, “Do you not agree that it was a mistake?”

You’re still not looking at him, “I don’t know.”

“Y/n. Look at me. What do you mean?”, He responds.

You look at him nervously, “Well is it really so bad that it happened? Would it be so terrible if you were attracted to me?”

Levi turns serious, “Y/n. I’m your bodyguard, not your boyfriend. What happened earlier was a mistake and it meant nothing. I was hoping that since you sleep around, you would be more understanding.”

Your eyes widen and tears are brimming, “Since I sleep around? So you thought since I’ve had sex with two different guys, that I’d be willing to be your little play thing? Fuck you. You’re not the Levi I met earlier today.”

You stand up and start walking to your bedroom, at this point you’re crying.

“Y/n wait. That’s not what I mean-”, Levi started.

You slam the door in his face and lay in your bed. You’re overwhelmed with hurt and heartbreak. You were dumb enough to believe that maybe he felt the same way. You didn’t want to be alone. You picked up your phone and called Sasha.

“Hey, Y/n! How’s Cali?”, Sasha asks excitedly.

You start to sniff and you can’t help but burst into tears.

“I’m sorry, Sasha. I don’t mean to damper your mood”, You say through choked back sobs.

“Oh my god what the fuck happened, Y/n? Are you okay? Let me look on my phone and I can check for plane tickets”, Sasha says very seriously.

You chuckle sadly, “No Sasha it’s okay. It’s just, well- I don’t know how to tell you this.”

You explain everything that happened with Levi. Even choosing to tell her your thoughts you had in the shower. After telling her, you felt exposed.

“Oh, Y/n. Thank you for telling me all that. Damn I’m so freaking sorry. I wish I could help, you must be feeling so alone right now”, Sasha responds hesitantly. You can tell she’s holding back tears.

You reply a little more composed, “Thank you for listening. It honestly makes me feel a little better. Now that you know, I don’t feel as alone.”

Sasha says with a fire in her voice, “I swear to god, Y/n. I will kill him. I will beat his stupid ass and make him regret everything he did.”

You giggle, “I miss you. Thank you for being such a good friend.” You look at the time, “I have to get going but I’ll keep you updated.”

“Okay but please tell me if you need anything”, Sasha says.

“Always”, You say and end the call.

That phone call really did help make you feel better. You sigh and decide to take advantage of the last few hours of your free day, alone.

Chapter 8 - A New Friend

The car ride to the convention was pin drop silent. Yesterday after your phone call with Sasha, you had your driver take you to In-And-Out. Thankfully, you were able to quickly sneak out without Levi noticing. As you were driving away, you saw Levi running towards the car. It was too late though, he wasn’t able to catch you.

As soon as you got back, Levi was waiting on the curb for you. He gave you a tense lecture for about an hour. Honestly you were barely listening. Afterwards you spent the rest of the evening in bed watching tv.

Your phone buzzed, bringing you out of your daydream. Sasha was just checking in to see how you were doing. You lied and said that you were 100% better. You told her that you had been drinking so that’s why you were so emotional. Obviously that was a lie, but she didn’t push you on the subject.

You spent extra time on your appearance this morning hoping that it would make you feel better. It helped a little with your confidence, but you couldn’t deny the hurt you felt deep inside.

The car pulled up to the convention center, you got out of the car and went into the building. Not bothering to wait on Levi, you knew he would be tailing you anyway.

The first few sessions were boring. You really just weren’t in the right headspace for this. Thankfully, Levi watched over you from a distance today.

It was finally time for lunch and you were starving. You grab the salmon platter and head to a table alone. You sit down and start eating. Your anxiety starts creeping in, you can feel your body start to get overheated. Even as an adult, you can’t help but feel like a loser because you’re eating alone. All of your insecurities start creeping in and it feels like everyone is staring at you. Just as you’re starting to consider leaving, someone pulls the chair beside you and sits down.

You look over, relief immediately washing over you. You don’t care who it is, you're just glad to not be alone anymore. The man sitting next to you is very tall with blonde hair and noticeably thick eyebrows.

He looks at you and offers you his hand, “My name is Erwin Smith. I’ve been meaning to introduce myself. I’m one of the senior managers at your dad’s company.”

His smile puts you at ease and you shake his head, “It’s good to meet you. I’m Y/n.”

Erwin laughs, “Yes I know.”

You blush and internally cringe. Of course he knows your name, dumbass.

“I think I could be helpful to you as you begin transitioning into our company. I would like to be friends if you’re okay with that”, Erwin says sweetly.

You smile, “Oh yes of course! Thank you so much. Everyone already has their groups of friends, so it’s hard to meet anyone. Especially when you’re the CEO’s daughter. I think everyone is afraid of me.”

Erwin chuckles and puts a reassuring hand on your shoulder, “Don’t worry. I’ll help you meet everyone worth knowing.”

You spend the next hour getting to know Erwin. You don’t take his kindness lightly, you’re extremely grateful to him. Little do you know, a grumpy asshole has been staring daggers into the back of your head this whole time.

Erwin leans over, “Hey, are you and Levi a couple?”

You stare at him shocked, “Uh no. Why would you think that?”

He laughs, “No reason. I was just trying to figure out why he’s been glaring at us this whole time.”

You immediately turn your head around and your eyes meet Levi’s. He’s clearly pissed.

You turn back around and roll your eyes, “He’s technically my bodyguard, but he’s more like a pain in my ass.”

Erwin lets out a loud laugh, “I like your sass. Most people are intimidated by him.”

“Well I’m not most people”, You say teasingly. “Wait, how do you know Levi anyway?”, You ask.

“Oh Levi and I go way back. I’m actually the one who recommended him to your father for this bodyguard position”, Erwin says.

Your eyes open wide, “Wow really?

Erwin smiles and asks, “Is it hard to imagine Levi and I as friends?”

You giggle, “If I’m being honest, yes. You’re so kind and open, and Levi is so...wounded.”

Erwin raises his eyebrows, “I don’t know if I’ve ever heard someone use that word to describe Levi. Scary and stubborn are normally what people describe him as.” Erwin ponders the word for another moment, “It seems that you have seen right through Levi. Right to his very core. I’m very defensive of Levi, you see. Most people don’t give him a chance because of his cold demeanor. But if you even spend one second truly looking at him, you’ll see a bird who’s wing is broken. He’s wounded.”

You don’t acknowledge the tears that are threatening to fall onto your face.

You whisper, “I just wish he would let me in.” You wipe a tear and chuckle, “I must look so stupid. He’s my bodyguard after all. He could have any woman in this building if he wanted. Why did I think I even stood a chance.”

Erwin looks at you with concern, “Did something happen?”

You hesitate but choose to trust Erwin, especially knowing that he would never intentionally hurt Levi.

“Well, we kissed and did...other things”, Your face starts to redden but you continue, “Afterwards he was very cold to me, and when we got back to the hotel room he said that it was all a mistake. That it shouldn’t have happened.”

Erwin pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration, “That idiot.” He is quiet for a moment before starting again, “What if we test him to see if his real feelings for you come out?”

You look at him curiously, “What do you mean?”

Erwin smiles mischievously, “What if we act like we are starting to become romantically interested in each other? I know Levi, and if he truly has feelings for you he will become jealous immediately.”

You ask, “You don’t think Levi will be upset when we tell him it was a joke?”

“I think he’ll be more grateful that we helped him realize his true intentions”, Erwin says confidently.

You agreed to the plan, and you both casually talked while finishing your food. Your Dad soon approaches you, and Levi decides to also come over when he sees your father.

“Y/n! I’m glad to see you’ve finally met Erwin! Handsome fella, isn’t he?”, Your Dad asks with a smile.

You blush and remember your plan, “Yes he is, Dad.”

You don’t notice Levi’s eye twitch at your answer.

“Well, Y/n, I wanted you to come with me so we could discuss your plans for the rest of the day”, Your Dad looks to Levi, “There’s no need for you to come along since I will have my guards with me. Take the next few hours off to relax!”

Levi argues, “Sir I disagree. I don’t think I should be separated from Y/n.”

Your Dad responds, “Oh nonsense! She’ll be just fine.” He motions for you to follow him, “Come along.”

You walk after your father, but stop to look at Levi. He looks pissed and doesn’t break eye contact with you. You manage to pull your eyes away from him and catch up to you Dad.

Erwin’s POV

Levi is seething as he sits beside Erwin.

“Hey Levi, long time no s-”, Erwin starts.

“What the fuck are you doing with, Y/n?”, Levi asks bluntly.

Erwin plays dumb, “What are you talking about? I was getting to know her, we are going to be co-workers.”

Levi rolls his eyes, “Cut the bullshit, Erwin. I saw her blushing and I saw you laughing. You two looked like you were on a goddamned date.”

Erwin asks, “And if we were? Why does that matter to you?”

Levi looks away, “You can’t date my client.”

Erwin pushes, “Maybe, but I can fuck her.” Erwin has no intentions of that, but he wants to see how Levi will respond.

Levi snaps his head and stares daggers into your eyes. If looks could kill, Erwin would absolutely be dead right now.

“What the hell did you just say?”, Levi continues, “Look, you’re my friend but you are really pissing me off.”

Erwin doesn’t back down, “What’s wrong with me wanting to fuck Y/n?”

Levi growls, “I swear to god if you don’t stop saying that I’m going to put my fist through your skull.”

Erwin chuckles dryly, “I don’t see why this is an issue. You used to be my wingman, why can’t you be now?” Erwin pauses and then smiles, “Unless...you want to fuck Y/n as well.”

Levi whisper yells, “Oh my god I don’t just want to fuck Y/n! Can you stop saying the words fuck and Y/n!?”

Erwin teases, “Hmm so there’s more you want? Do you have feelings for this woman, Levi?”

Levi pushes out of his seat and as he walks away he says, “Fuck you.”

Erwin lets out a hearty laugh. His plan is already working.

Y/N’s POV

“Dad, do I have to?”, You ask.

“Absolutely. I won’t budge on this, it’s very important that you have a date to the company ball”, Your dad responds bluntly.

You sigh, “Well that would’ve been nice to know considering it’s tomorrow.”

Your dad chuckles, “I happen to have a few eligible bachelors that I could set you up with.”

You shake your head, “No that’s okay. I have someone in mind.”

You sit while your dad is talking to someone else, and pull out your phone. Luckily you had exchanged numbers. You pull up his name and start a text.

“Hey, Erwin. This is super last minute, but my dad insists that I have a date to the ball tomorrow. Would you like to go together?”

Erwin responds quickly, “Of course. I’ll pick you up at 8.”

You sigh and look out the window of the building. At least you’ll have someone to dance with, even if all you can think of is those gray eyes.

Chapter 14 - Empty Feelings

The wind is whipping through your hair as you clutch Eren tightly. The city feels so different racing through the streets on a motorcycle at night. The evening chill is helping you sober up. You pull into the parking garage of Eren’s apartment. After parking, Eren hops off his bike and offers you a hand. You grab his hand and he helps you off the bike.

Eren chuckles, “Well, we made it. Do you want to come up?”

You smile and say, “Sure.”

Eren smiles back at you and motions for you to follow him. You both walk into the building and make your way to the elevator.

Eren turns to you, “Are you still drunk? You seem like you’ve sobered up quite a bit.”

You giggle, “Yeah between the adrenaline of being chased and then the cold air, I’m pretty much sober now.”

Eren gently pushes some of your hair behind your ear, “Good.”

You blush and the elevator dings. Eren leads the way to his apartment. Inside it’s mostly tidy, a few things misplaced here and there.

“I share this place with my brother, but he’s out of town for the weekend”, Eren says.

“Oh nice!”, You respond.

There’s a few minutes of awkward silence, neither of you knew what to do. Eren pushed back a strand of his hair, clearly nervous. He walks over to you and grabs your hand.

Eren looks you in the eyes, “Let me know if you want me to stop, yeah?”

Your stomach drops and you begin to blush. Your heart is racing with anticipation.

“Okay”, You smile shyly.

Eren leans closer, “That smile of yours is going to get me into trouble.”

He kisses you gently, putting both hands around your face. You put your arms on his hips and pull him closer. He pushes you against the wall as you both deepen the kiss. Just as you are ready for more, Eren pulls away.

“Let’s go to my room”, He says.

You nod and follow him to his room. As soon as you shut the door he is back on you. This time he picks you up while kissing you, and walks over to his bed. He flops you down and you both giggle.

Eren slightly blushes as he looks at you, “You look good on my bed.”

You laugh and playfully hit his arm, “What a cheesy pickup line.”

He smiles as he crawls to hover over you, “But I got to see your smile again.”

All of Eren’s sweet words were making your heart flutter. You wrap your hand around the back of his neck and pull him down to you. The two of you begin making out, your hand slowly traveling down.

You could easily feel the bulge through his pants. You unbutton and unzip his pants. You begin to rub his bulge while his underwear is still covering it. Eren starts to moan and you gently push him off you, so he can lay on his back. Eren kicks off his pants and you begin teasing him by rubbing his cock over his underwear.

Eren whines, “Please, Y/n. I want you so bad.”

At this point you were so wet it was laughable, but you want to please him first. He’s been so cute tonight, you couldn’t wait to unravel him. You finally pull down his underwear, and begin stroking his dick.

“Oh fuck. Oh shit, it’s been so long. I don’t know how long I can go”, Eren looks concerned.

You smile and place a kiss on his thigh, “It’s okay, Eren. I just want to make you feel good.”

Eren whimpers and places a hand in your hair. You begin stroking him again and he grips your hair. You lay on your stomach in between his legs and start licking circles around his tip. Eren starts moaning and throws his head back. You take a deep breath and begin slowly taking his cock in your mouth. Once you become adjusted, you start moving up and down faster. You can tell Eren is on the brink by the way he is moaning.

“Y/n. I’m going to cum”, Eren whispers.

You moan on his dick and that puts him over the edge. He shoots off into your mouth and it takes everything in you to swallow it. You slowly pump his dick while he rides out his orgasm.

You lay beside him, “How are you feeling?”

He tiredly looks at you, “That was amazing, Y/n. It’s been so long since someone has done that for me, I’m sorry I didn’t last very long”, Eren chuckles, “I’m exhausted. I feel like I just ran a marathon.”

You smile, “Let’s go to bed then. Maybe watch some Zootopia before we fall asleep?”

Eren looks serious, “Wait are you sure? I wanted to make you feel good too.”

“It’s okay, Eren. You look really tired, and I’m honestly exhausted after tonight”, You lie.

Eren looks at you, “Well okay. You promise this is okay? I don’t want you to feel like I used you.”

You respond, “I promise! I know you would never use me like that. Anyway, I wanted to do it.”

You reassure Eren with a smile and he relaxes. He grabs his remote and turns on the movie.

“Do you have a tshirt I could wear?”, You ask.

Eren jumps up, “Oh of course! I’m sorry I didn’t think to grab you one.”

Eren really is a sweet guy. You can’t lie to yourself, you are disappointed nothing more happened tonight. But maybe it’s a good thing.

He hands you the tshirt and you walk to his bathroom. You get unready as fast as you can, and head back to his bed.

After turning off the light, he turns to spoon you. You curl up into his arms, and within minutes you can tell that he’s asleep. Honestly, your mind is racing.

Being with Eren feels so nice and safe, but you are starting to wonder if Eren is too sweet for you. From his exterior, he seems like a completely different guy. Normally you would think that you hit the jackpot, but something is keeping you from feeling that way. You can’t help but wonder if you could ever be romantically interested in Eren. Making out with him was fun, but you’re not sure if you could see yourself actually dating him.

You begin to feel extremely guilty. You shouldn’t have let this happen, what if you’re leading him on. He’s such a nice guy, and you would never want to hurt him. As your mind is racing, you don’t notice your eyes begin to shut.

--

You awaken to the smell of coffee and the feeling of sunshine on your face. You roll over and see Eren getting dressed.

He looks at you and smiles, “Good morning sleepy head. You can hangout if you want, I just have to leave soon to meet up with some work friends.”

You sit up quickly, “Oh my god I’m so sorry. You should’ve woken me!”

He laughs, “You looked so peaceful, I didn’t want to disturb you.”

You check the time and see that it’s 10:30.

“Shit. It’s late, I’m sorry”, You say as you grab your clothes.

“It really is okay, Y/n. Take your time”, Eren responds.

You change quickly in the bathroom and wash your face with water. You don’t look terrible, but you definitely don’t look good. You walk out and grab your bag and phone.

You say, “Hey I had fun last night. Thank you for taking care of me.”

Eren smiles, “And thank you for taking care of me as well.”

You both laugh as you walk to the door. You start to put on your shoes and Eren opens the door for you.

“Uh let me know if you ever want to hang out again”, Eren says nervously.

You know you should tell him that you think you want to just be friends, but you don’t want to rush that conversation. You want to be able to explain things to him.

You smile, “Will do.”

You walk out the door and to the elevator. You check your phone and see that you have a ton of unread texts.

“Shit”, You whisper.

Most of them were from your group chat with your friends. Your drunk friends just making sure you were okay and hyping you up for going home with someone. You quickly respond to them and walk out of the elevator. You pull up the Uber app to order a car, there was no way in hell you were calling your driver. Then your dad would know where you were last night.

“Hey”, Someone in the lobby says.

Your head whips around and your mouth drops open.

“How the hell did you find me?!”, You ask.

“You have your location services turned on with me, dumbass”, Levi responds curtly.

You slap your forehead and sigh. That’s why he laughed last night, there was no reason for you to run. That’s also how he knew which club you were at. You’re such an idiot.

“Come on, I can take you home”, He says and begins walking out.

You follow him, “How long have you been waiting for me?”

“Doesn’t matter”, Levi says.

Shit. He’s definitely been here since last night, he’s still wearing the same clothes. You begin to feel guilty. Levi gets into his car, and you hesitate for a moment. You’ve never ridden with him before. It’s a super nice car. You get in and lean your head on your hand.

“Well I hope you had the time of your life, my neck is so stiff from waiting for you”, Levi says clearly annoyed.

“I hate to break it to you, but it wasn’t that exciting”, You respond.

Levi asks, “Did you at least get laid?”

You scoff, “Not that it’s any of your business, but no. Eren was very tired after I suc-” You quickly stop talking, knowing that Eren was already on thin ice with Levi.

“You sucked him off and then he just went to bed? What a fucking pussy”, Levi says sharply.

“Levi! It’s not like that. He offered, but we were both really tired”, You defend Eren.

Levi responds, “He offered? I wouldn’t have given you a choice, you deserve to experience as much pleasure as he did.”

You sigh, “It’s really okay.”

You try to ignore the fact that he said what he would’ve done if he was Eren. If only Levi wasn’t so damn stubborn. You sneak a look at him, he’s got one hand on the steering wheel and is leaning his head on the other. He looks exhausted, but seeing him still makes your heart race. You quickly remind yourself that he would never be in a relationship with you. You can feel tears pricking the sides of your eyes, but you push them back. Levi pulls up to a red light, and you indulge in your fantasy for a few more moments.

You look at Levi and he looks back at you.

“I wish it would’ve been you last night. Having another man hold me just made me feel even more empty”, You say quietly.

Levi’s eyes widen and you look away, fighting back the tears that insist on falling. It doesn’t matter if Levi knows this or not, nothing will change. But at least you were honest, for your own sake.
