Chapter 19: Exasperation

I turned my back to him, holding my hair up and allowing him to place it around  my neck. It dropped down to just on my chest. I picked it up with my fingers and found myself playing with the pendant.

"Thank you" I whispered.

"Anything for you" he responded immediately.

I, for about the billionth time, found myself staring into his endless eyes. I couldn't help but realise how he had turned from the arrogant bad boy to the sweetest person I knew in such a short time.

Before I knew it however, his bedroom door was forced open, causing my to rip my eyes away from Levi. Once I did look at the door, I saw that Rosie was standing there innocently, the chocolate bar still in her hands.

"Levi" she said in her adorable voice, as she ran into his arms. He picked her up and put her on his lap.

"Hi princess" he said to her as he hugged her.

This was too much for me.

"I can't open my chocolate bar and mommy won't let me eat any chocolate. But my Levi will let me" she said slowly, she was clearly having trouble with enunciating her words.

"Really?" He asked in a soft voice.

"Yeah! And I went to everybody and nobody would let and-and now I sad and I know Levi will help me" she said, a smile forming in her face.

I'm not even kidding she is the cutest thing on earth.

"I'll open the chocolate for you" he promised.

"You will?" She asked, her eyes lighting up.

"Only if you talk to my friend over there" he whispered in her ear, motioning towards me.

She looked at me, and then hid her face back into Levi's chest.

"Are you not going to talk to her?" He asked quietly.

She shook her head.

"Why not?"

"Your last pretty girlfriend was mean. But she's prettier, and means she's meaner" she whispered in Levi's ear.

How can Katherine be mean to a three year old?

"She's not mean I promise" he said to her.

She slowly turned to me. "Hello" she said carefully.

"Hello" I responded quietly. "I'm Juliette"

"You're very pretty" she whispered.

I smiled "Really?" I asked "I think your a lot prettier than me"

"Really?" She asked, her eyes widening as she smiled.

I nodded encouragingly. "I like your hair"

She put her hands to her hair before grinning "my mommy did it for me"

I smiled "I like it"

She turned to Levi "chocolate please" she said to him. He opened the wrapper and broke off a piece, placing it on her small hands. "Here you go" she said, handing it to me.

I shook my head "you eat it"

She paused for a moment before turning back to Levi. "I like her" she whispered loudly as he chuckled.

"So do I" he whispered in the same manner, before handing her another single block.

"Poppy was calling you" she stated as she placed the chocolate bar in her mouth. "She said something about snow" her words were slurred due to the chocolate in her mouth.
