"Will you be alright?" Carson asked staring at Yvette who was finally getting ready to leave the house and go home, to go meet Porsche.She had finally woken up and was met with some clothes that were bought for her, and to her surprise it was her size.Yvette didn't have much things to gather she was just ready to go, she wish she would never have to come back but that was just wishful thinking at its finest.

"I'll be fine, I miss my house." Is all Yvette said running her hands through her bob, she wanted so badly to curl up into her own bed, drag this damn wig off, have a glass of wine and just rest.

She wanted to forget about the almost two days she spent with these people and she definitely wanted to forget her birthday.

"Shit me to, being around Levi too long is a talent I haven't mastered yet.My dad is scary when he's mad but Levi is scary all the time, not to mention negative." Carson added with a slight chuckle holding the door open for Yvette as she walked out.

"Can I ask you a question, I'm not trying to be nosey." Carson nodded signaling her to go ahead and ask, the least he could do was answer some questions.

"Lexington wife is black, and Lexington himself looks mixed-ish and you are light brown, so is Levi adopted?" Yvette was just staring and Levi didn't really look like anybody in the house.

"We are half brothers, same dad, and different moms.Our dad got around in his younger days and has a few kids everywhere.We don't talk to them though, they are assholes." Carson stated shrugging.

He never really pondered it because as far as he knows Levi had always been his brother, regardless of being half or full.Levi had always been there when Carson needed him.

"So are you taking me home?"

Carson laughed.

"No, your husband to be is."

Yvette frowned.

"You look like him already, he's in the car waiting, the Bentley.Do you know what that looks like?" Carson questioned, Yvette rolled her eyes.

"I have a degree in engineering." Is all Yvette said. Walking out the door and passing the guards who guarded the door as if the family was the president.Yvette shook her head at all this craziness and got inside the car of the Bentley as Levi was on the phone talking.

"Be safe, newlyweds." Carson couldn't help but joke, out of all people to make Yvette marry, his dad picked Levi? He knew Levi was losing his mind.Till this day, no one understood how his dad works and what his full plans are and at the same time Carson didn't even understand Levi full plans for even agreeing.He was sure he would gave up and just told dad to kill her or he would.

Yvette and Levi both looked at Carson frowning before Levi started up the car and pulled out of the garage and began driving on the street.Yvette looked around in the car, it was extremely clean, and everything was in place, not to mention it still had a new car smell.Yvette stared at Levi taking in his features, seeing as though she never really looked at him.

Levi has jet black hair that could easily move back if he ran his hands through it, with the sides shaved just a tad.His eyes were small and grey as if he was always squinting and furrowing his brows at something and he had a little bit of facial hair speckled around his face.She could describe his build as skinny strong and he was quite tall, his nose was long and pointy but small at the bottom ending at his lips that were quite plump to be a "white man". She would sum it up to Levi being at least 1% or maybe 2% black or something.

Levi noticed Yvette staring and glanced his eyes at her as Yvette just gave a small smile and an awkward wave.

Levi only frowned and turned his head back to the road making Yvette slowly put her hand down and tuck it in between her lap and look outside the window.

"Do you already know where I live?"

"How would I already know where you live?"

"Cause you are just driving like you know."

"I'm driving until you decide to speak up and tell me exactly where you live."

"How would I know you want to know , if you never asked for any?"

"Common sense?"

"Common sense would be to ask me where I live so that I may give you directions."

Levi frowned deepened, as if that was possible.

"No, common sense would be to tell me as soon as you got in the car instead of staring at me for whatever reason."

"No, common sense would be to ask me as soon as I got in the car."

"No!-" Levi sentence was cut off by his phone ringing as he took it out of the holder and placed it to his ear.

"Yes?" Levi said not bothering to look at the caller ID, only a select few had his number.Important people.

"How could you leave without saying goodbye?" Francesca soft voice spoke over the line, Levi stared blankly as he continue driving not nowhere particular.Silence remained between the two because Levi didn't have a response.

"When do i ever say goodbye to you? I don't even say it to dad."

"I thought we talked about this."

"And I told you I understood your feelings but I never said I would change how I act.I am twenty-seven, It is a little too late for rehabilitation regarding my behavior."

"Now you know that isn't fair , Leviticus.I wasn't there all the time but now that I am.I want us to make an effort."

"Ok."

"Ok what?"

"Ok, make your efforts."

"And will you do the same?"

Silence fell again as Leviticus didn't say anything, he looked at his gps monitor and tapped it.He reached over grabbing Yvette hand and placing it directly on it as she started to type in her address.

Francesca sighed into the phone, sadly.

"Goodbye, Leviticus.Drive safe, i love you."

"Goodbye." Levi said plainly before quickly hanging up and placing his phone in the cup holder as he looked at the GPS directions and started to drive, luckily he wasn't going the opposite way so they wouldn't be too far from home.

Yvette looked at Levi, by his facial expression he looked troubled but he always looked like that.Yvette placed her hands in her laps convincing herself it wasn't her job to make him happy, but then she thought back to the marriage thing, maybe it was now? She shook her head, it wasn't exactly her choice but then again? He vouched for her, got beat for her and even gave her a cold towel-But that's the least he could do, right? Yvette took a deep breathe.

This simply wasn't her.

"I won." Yvette mumbled playfully as Levi glanced at her with an eyebrow raised.

"Won what exactly?"

"Our little bicker, I got the last sentence in.So i won."

"Because I got a phone call."

"Excuses, excuses." Levi slightly rolled his eyes and looked towards the window as Yvette leaned forward to try to see if he was smiling or even smirking? Maybe it was all in her head but she could see a slight raise in his lips that wasn't there before.

Yvette smiled, she successfully made him smile..basically.

Yvette sat back in the seat as he pulled up to her house, she kind of felt small looking at it compared to Levi and Lexington house but then remember how hard she worked for it.Yvette got out the car and as soon as she did she heard her name.

"Yvette! Is that my best friend?!" Porsche exclaimed running full speed to Yvette, Yvette could tell she was happy to see her because Porsche never runs.

"I missed you so much and it hasn't been been that long, I was so worried about you! Please don't ever run off like that again." Porsche ranted hugging her tightly.

"I know, I know.I am so sorry that I scared y'all, it was never my intention."

"Yeah, I know.So who is this?" Porsche questioned nudging Yvette and looking at Levi with a skeptical look.

"This is Levi, the one I told you about."

"Hm..Interesting, so you just invite all the women to your house huh? She could of been a murderer."

Levi frowned not having a response, he just wanted to get in his car and go home.

"I'm only kidding, thank you for taking care of her, I appreciate it.This is my sister right here, I wouldn't know how to live without her so you are good so far in my book.Louis is inside let's-"

"Is that my Yvette?!" Louis exclaimed jogging to everyone and wrapping his arms around Yvette who smile.

"Don't ever scare us like that, Porsche was ready to call the FBI."

"No, I wasn't, I was just worried."

"So this the man that took care of you? How you doing? I'm Louis." Louis stuck his hand out for Levi to shake as Levi just stared at it and turned around walking to his car opened the door.

"I'll be going home now, we will talk later." Levi said looking at Yvette directly.The family was planning to put their numbers in Yvette phone and program a tracker just to make sure she didn't run off, even though Yvette fought against, it was smart in their books.

"You don't wanna stay? Let us get to know you" Louis exclaimed stopping Levi door from shutting, as Levi furrowed his brows.

"No." Levi said simply removing Louis hand and shutting his door quickly speeding out of the driveway and down the road.

"Damn, he ain't a people person at all." Porsche stated shaking her head.

"He grouchy too, he almost broke my bone the way he gripped it.That's gonna be yo new man or some? What he mean you suppose to call him? Y'all exchanged numbers?" Louis questions as Porsche looked at Yvette waiting for an answer.

"Enough about me, what happened in the little time I was gone, what is this about Matthew? Didn't he do something?" Yvette rambled pushing them towards the door so they can go inside and possibly change the subject.She didn't want to address any of that for right now, she was still trying to come to terms.

She was thankful they were not cutting her off from her life and friends, and things she worked so hard at but they were not letting her off the hook that easy and did not trust her that much.

"Oh yeah! That no good ass nigga was tryna' flirt with new young assistant just as you disappeared! Talk about disgusting and stuff! He even tried to move into your office!"

"Seriously?"

"With quickness, told you I ain't like him for no reason, he just gave off those vibes." Louis plopped in the couch as Porsche and Yvette sat down.

"I put your I.D and wallet and phone all on the counter, I know i already said it but I'm so glad you are safe."

"Thanks y'all, and thanks for being here for me.I love you guys."

"We love you more and for your next birthday this time it'll be a stripper in lights instead of darkness."

"There was a stripper?!"

"Yes! You ran out before you can see." Yvette laughed.

"You guys have to tell me how you planned that." Yvette really wanted to know and also wanted to avoid the subject going to herself for the whole day if she could.Tomorrow she would be back to work, back to her routine , and back to normal.

Kind of.
