She shrugs and snarks back, “So basic that you couldn’t prevent it?” Then she tosses the wallet at him.
Levi catches it, shaking his head as he opens it to check its contents. “Nothing to it, really?—”
“Looking for this?” she interrupts, holding up his black credit card.
Not bad.
Also not impressive.
Levi’s eyes go wide. “What the?—”
He reaches for the card, but before he can grab it, she makes it vanish from her hand, holding up her empty palms. “Oops.”
Okay.Better.
Levi blinks, trying to figure out where it went. “Where the hell?—”
She grins, stepping closer, tugging the card from behind his ear. “You’re not very good at keeping track of your things, are you?”
I have to suppress a laugh at the way Levi stands there, completely dumbfounded.
Fine, maybe she’s better than I thought.
Before Levi can grab the card again, she makes it disappear once more, slipping it into his jacket’s pocket. “You…” she gives him an innocent look as she toys with his shirt again, “… should really be more careful.”
Levi is still laughing as he checks his jacket, though it turns confused when the card isn’t where she put it. “Okay, seriously, where is it?”
She angles toward him and plucks the card from his collar like it’s the easiest thing in the world. “Right where you left it.”
Levi reaches out again, more determined this time, but she tosses the card up in the air, and when she reaches out to catch it—nothing. Her hands are empty again, and the card is gone.
Holy shit.
I inch closer so I’m standing next to her now, wanting to observe her as closely as possible. She’s playing this perfectly, and I want to see how she’s doing it.
She wiggles her fingers and encourages Levi’s attention to stay on her empty hands, giving him a playful smile. “What? You think I’m going to make it that easy for you?”
Her elbow brushes my side when she shifts her stance, and the slight contact makes me shudder. I force myself not to show it in my expression and ignore the way my pulse just quickened.
Her newfound confidence is hot as fuck.
“Come on, Glitter, where’s it gone now?” Levi whines, but I’m sure it irks him to know that she’s playing him that much. He’s not patient.
She casually shrugs and tilts her head. “Maybe you should check your pants pocket.”
Levi pats himself down quickly, his expression shifting from confident to confused as he checks every pocket. “There’s nothing. I?—”
“Oh, right, sorry,” she cuts him off with a roll of her eyes. “I must’ve mixed up the twins.” She turns to me, her grin widening. “Koen, could you check your pockets for me?”
I raise a skeptical eyebrow, but I humor her and reach into my pocket. I freeze when I touch the plastic card hidden there. Then I pull it out slowly as my eyes flick up to meet hers again.
Holy fucking shit.
Levi’s jaw drops, then he lets out a burst of laughter. “No fucking way! How did you—” I toss the card back to Levi, who catches it, shaking his head in disbelief. “I’m gonna have to start keeping my hands on everything when you’re around.”
She flashes him a mischievous grin. “Maybe you should. Or maybe you should accept that what’s yours is mine now too.”
“All right,” Levi admits, still grinning. “You’re not bad.”
