Levi.

"Who pissed in your cheerios?" Aaron asks when I throw my jacket on the couch, he must have heard me come in because he was waiting at the foot it the stairs. I stalk to the liquor cabinet.

"Well...?" he asks after i take a swig of my cognac.

"Had a run in with a clumsy waitress, she dunked my precious cargo in ice water" I say pointing below my waist. He winces for me and I take another drink.

"Is that the main reason you look like that?"
"How do I look?"

"Like you want to rip somebody's head off"
He says limping away from the stairs towards me.

"The doctor told you to stay off your foot for a while" I say, my eyes on his bandaged leg.

"The doctor is a quack, he doesn't know what he is doing"
"The doctor is your uncle"
"That doesn't answer my question"
He retorts and I sigh, Aaron can be a meddling house wife when he wants to.

"Mother called me on my way home"
"Avery mavery?" He asks and I nod.
"What did she want?"

"She saw my interview earlier today and is wondering why I told the anchor I'm single"
He nods, reaching for my glass but I push it away from him.

He sends me a betrayed look, I just ignore him.

"But you are single" He says.
"Exactly my point, but she thinks it's time I announce my engagement"
I say and he freezes.

"Ohhhhhh" He says dragging out the word.
"I thought the idea was discarded when you turned 25?" He says finally abandoning his quest to get to my drink and settling himself on the couch beside me.

"It was never discarded, I just stopped talking about it" I say, leaning my head against the head rest.

"What are you gonna do about it? You know Avery Mavery, when she gets an idea...."

He's right, my mom-Avery mavery -, she's not someone to mess with.

"This Girl, do you know anything about her? Maybe she is as adverse to this idea just as you are"

"And even if she is? What do we do about it?"

"It's times like this you manifest your stereotypical dumb jock vibe" he says and I drop my hand on his injured thigh and he squeals like girl.

He injured said thigh on the field,scared the shit out of us, thinking it was something serious, the doctor gave him 2 months to heal and he's staying with me for those two months.

It's just being 2 weeks and it feels like a year already, the guy is a f-cking slob.

"Dude, this is precious cargo, careful on me" he says brushing my hands off.

"Do you have any ideas?"
I ask.

"Nope none, I'm sorry, personally I think it's time you get married, you are what, 29?"

"You want to die?" I ask menacingly and he bursts out laughing, the f-cker.

"We will think of something, chill homie" He says seriously and I don't reply, just take a drink and we stay like that.

*****
"Addie! Quick! It's a commercial, Levi is on!"
Pamela shouts from the sitting room and I zoom out of the bathroom, wrapping my towel around my torso.

I enter the sitting room to see my future hubby on TV drinking juice from a juice box and loving it.

"Remind me to buy that brand of juice when next we go grocery shopping"
I say sitting on the couch.

"Before you buy the juice, buy milk, we are out"
She says.
"We are out of toilet paper too" I say watching as the commercial comes to an end.

"Did you use all the toilet paper again?" She asks.

"Did you drink all the milk again?" I ask back and we chuckle together.
It's a running joke between the two of us, while we were together in the foster home our foster mother always complained and blamed us when something gets exhausted in the house.

"Did you record Levi's interview?"
"Yeah, and I microwaved the left over chicken, you can thank me by doing the laundry tomorrow"

"I have an early shift tomorrow" I say grateful to escape the work.
"You can do it when you get back"
I pout, she just goes back to painting her toes.

"Pam's?"
"Uh...?"
"Guess who came into the restaurant today after you left"
"Who?"
"Levi Carter" I say and she slowly lifts her head.

"Please tell me you didn't jump on his body" She says next and with trepidation.

"Eesh, No! What do you take me for?" I say and she breaths a sigh of relief.

"Something worse happened"
"I knew it! Tell me"
I explain everything and how I ended up grabbing the most famous, sought after, traded four times footballer of  all time's penny weeny.

She looks at me for a second before she bursts out laughing, falling off the couch and smearing her nail polish on the carpet.

She laughed so hard, I just look at her not impressed.

"That's enough, it isn't that funny"

"Seriously? that shit is funny, extremely so, after all the prep we had done for your big day? That was how you behaved when you finally saw him? I'm sure he would run the other way when next he sees you"

I immediately perk up.
"Thats the thing, he didn't see me, I had our big ass cap covering my face"

She immediately stops smiling.
"Well that's a plus"

"Yeah it is" I say and we stay like that for a while before she bursts out laughing again.
I growl at her and stop up in a fit to go get dressed and leave her to her laughter.

I get to my room down the hall and I could still hear the laughter . I hope she falls and hit her butt hard on the ground.

"Ouch!!" She screams from the sitting room and I smile to myself.
