My dad came running in and he quickly tried to pull Levi off of Angelo. Levi let go of Angelo, but only to push my dad back and go back to hitting at Angelo.

"Levi, stop!" I yelled, running over trying and stop him. Right when I touched him, he quickly stopped and snapped his head to look at me, "Stop hitting him for god sakes!" I yelled.

Angelo started cursing in Greek about how much of an asshole he is and if he lost his mind.

"What did you say?" Levi yelled since some of the words Angelo is saying is what I call him sometimes. I put my hands on his chest and pushed him back.

"Levi, stop it! Have you gone completely mad?" I asked, pushing at him still until he was out the door. I grabbed the door and closed it in his face. I heard him kick the door, but didn't do it again. I walked over to Angelo and bent down next to him as I helped him up, "I am so sorry, Angelo. That big idiot shouldn't have done that." I said as helped him get on his feet and his hand flew up to his bleeding nose.

I heard running down the steps and saw my Yiayia, "I heard yelling, what is going on?" she asked.

"That psycho Levi went mad." my father said, his anger completely visible. "He attacked Angelo."

"What?" she asked, looking at me. "Why?"

"Guess. He got jealous." I said, giving her a 'duh' look, hoping she'd take a hint. My parents don't know what Levi is. They know the story, but they don't believe in it.

"Is that malaka you boyfriend, Lexi?" Angelo asked, his hand at his bleeding nose.

My parents and Yiayia gave him a warning look about his choice of words, since he called Levi an 'asshole'. I grabbed a box of tissues and gave him a few, "No, he's just a friend. He's kind of...", I trailed off, not sure how to explain it to him.

I took his hand and lead him out to the backyard. He sat down on one of the chairs and I told him I'll be right back. I went into the kitchen to grab the medical bag we have.

My mom came with him with her hand on her hips, my dad behind her, "We don't want you around that boy anymore."

I looked at them for a moment, taking in their seriousness. "I know and I'll try, but he's like a disease, something that won't leave." I told them and left, not wanting to talk about that idiot Levi. I can't believe he attack Angelo! My best friend for god sakes! Who is gay!

I walked back into the yard and pulled a chair in front of Angelo, "I'm so sorry for what he did." I said, opening the bag and took out a rubbing alcohol pad. I promise he won't do it again."

"Hopefully.", he said, sounding nasally from pinching his nose. "Not the way I thought I'd see you again. Three years and I get punched in the face."

I grinned at him, "Well, you should have told me you were coming, Angelo. I would have warned him about you. He gets jealous easily."

"The way you're talking Lexi, it sure sounds like he's your boyfriend." he said.

I rolled my eyes and moved his hand from his nose and my nose scrunched up from the bloody tissue, "He thinks he's my boyfriend. I've known him since I was fifteen."

"How old is he?" he asked and hissed when I put the pad on his nose.

"Twenty-two.", I told him and his eyes widened. I guess I should mention Angelo is also protective of me since he's a year older than me and thinks of me as his little sister.

"Lexi, what are you doing hanging around a guy who is four years older than you?" he asked. "I mean, I know you like older guys but come on!"

I sighed heavily, "I know, Angelo, but..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say to that. I can't tell him I'm only hanging around him is because he won't leave me alone because 'we're meant to be together'. He knows what my Yiayia is, but he doesn't believe in magic and all that other stuff.

And I can't tell him Levi's family secret. Just because I may not like him doesn't mean I should give away their secret. My friend Jesse's boyfriend is also a Lycan and even though I can stand that mutt sometimes, the whole family hasn't done anything to me.

Deciding to change the subject, I put a band aid on his nose where the cut was, "Just keep cleaning your nose until it stops bleeding.", I told him, getting up. "So you came to see me?" I asked.

He nodded and got up, "Yeah, I missed my bestie." he said, slinging his arm around my shoulders.

"Oh jeez, please tell me you're not going to be one of those guys who talk like girls do. I like my muscular macho gay best friend." I told him, punching his arm playfully as we walked back into the house.

He chuckled, "No, I'm not changing. But you have." he said, taking some of my hair. "I like your lighter hair. Black was never your color."

"Yeah, brown is way better." I said, chuckling. We walked into the living room where my Yiayia and parents still were. I smiled awkwardly, "So..."

"Andria, just go help Angelo unpack." my dad said. "I need some Tylenol."

I just nodded and took Angelo's hand, leading him upstairs. I thought back to how we met. It's actually a pretty funny story. I was thirteen and my family was in Athens. My Yiayia was hesitant about going because Keraklion wasn't far away, but we got her to go. Anyways, I snuck out one late night to go swimming because I wanted to go into the water badly.

My shirt got caught on something when I jumped in and Angelo was around and saw me jump in. When he realized I wasn't coming up, he got worried and dived in, saving me. I had a mega crush on him, I can't lie about that. But once he told me he liked guys, I was crushed, but settled for friendship. He was the son of a farmer and our families became good friends with each other.

After helping Angelo unpack, catching up with each other, and going out to dinner with my parents and Yiayia, I made my way into the police station; everyone looked at me and knew I was not in a good mood, so they didn't bother to ask me what was wrong.

One of the older policemen told me Levi was in the break room and I thanked him. I made my way into the break room and I burst the door open, "Okay, I can talk now." I said, my voice hard.

I was surprised to see Levi twirling a knife around with his index finger, "Oh really?" he asked, his voice also hard as he got up. He walked up to me and reached out beside me and locked the door.

"You had no right to punch Angelo in the face." I hissed.

He snorted, "Angelo? That's his name. So European." he said, turning around and walked back over to the table.

"He is European, stupid." I said. "And he's my best friend."

He turned back around, his face scrunched up in anger, "You never get that excited to see me!" he almost yelled. "I'm your best friend and I don't see you running in my arms!"

"I haven't seen Angelo in three years, Levi!" I yelled. "Of course I'm going to be excited to see him!"

"You never let me call you Lexi!" he said back and I gave him a confused look. "You let that guy call you Lexi, but when I do you get mad! I have to call you Andria, but he gets the special treatment!"

"You're really yelling at me because you don't call me something I don't even let my Yiayia call me?" I asked, pointing at my chest. "I hated it when Angelo called me Lexi, but he just kept on calling me it and I got use to it by him calling me that. You just need to relax."

I saw his hand around the knife tighten and next thing I know, he threw it across the room and it stuck to the wall. I gasped and when I turned back to look at him, he was in front of me and put his hands behind my neck, slamming his lips down on mine.

More in shock and my mind not aware of what was happening, I stood there. He'd kissed me before, but ever since he started working as a police man he'd done it less often.

I wanted to push and shove him away, but his lips felt so good on mine. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck. He pulled me closer to him and I ran my hands down his hard chest.

Levi turned us around and he pushed me back until I hit the table. He lifted me up and sat me down on it. He roughly kissed me and kissing him right now was wrong and yes, illegal. I'm still seventeen, which is why he stopped kissing me because although he can be a trouble maker, he learned to respect some laws.

And being in a police station and him kissing a minor, yup, dangerous. It only made me kiss him back more.

His warm hands rubbed down my arms and I leaned closer to his warm body. I felt so much comfort being near him and totally forgot he punched my best friend in the face.

His lips then moved from mine and I leaned back to touch them, but he pulled me back, chuckling softly, "Andria, you have to remember where we are. I'd like to keep this job, you know."

My cheeks burned up and I looked away, embarrassed. Oh god, I'm so stupid.

I wiped under my mouth as I got up, "I have to go. Don't come around my house, my dad hates you and doesn't want you around." I said, walking away from him.

"Shit.", he whispered. "Wait.", he said, grabbing my hand and turned me around, "Talk to them, please. You spend a lot of time home and I don't want to be away from you."

"Levi, Angelo's here. I have to spend as much as I can with him. He'll only be here for two weeks." I told him, taking my hand back.

He literally growled, "What is he? Your boyfriend or something actually?"

I was about to tell him no and that he's gay, but then an idea popped in my head. Well if he's going to be Mr. Jealous and rude to Angelo anyways, why not make him think that. Levi should be taught to never to jump to conclusion and punch someone who you don't even know and punch for just hugging.

After a moment, I raised my chin, "Yes.".

He froze, his eyes widened, shock on his face, but I saw his blue eyes firing up, "Excuse me?" he asked, his voice hard. He looked pissed now and he grabbed my upper arm, pushing me against the wall. Not roughly, but enough to show his possessiveness, "I don't think so."

I pulled his arm away and scoffed, "I can date whoever I want, Levi!"

"Not when you're with me. You're stuck with me, Lexi, whether you like it or not." he said, emphasizing on Lexi.

I pushed him away, "No I'm not, Levi."

"You may not want to admit, but every bone in your body knows it.." he said.

"Yeah, well my heart is saying no!" I said, my voice hard as I walked away from him and unlocked the door and left.

Though, I'm pretty sure my heart is lying to itself.
