Chapter 11
“Right so the office always gives you a hickey when you spend the night there?” I asked and laughed.
“Rosy look…” He started.
“Vince stop okay. You’re not my boyfriend. You’re my best friends brother. Yesterday you needed comfort and my help and I stood by you. Whenever you need that kinda support I will always stand by you. But please don’t lie about spending a night with another girl. If that’s what you’ve done then that’s your business. You don’t owe me an explanation.” I sat next to him and held his hand. “Hope you had a goodnight though. Did it help soothe your pain?” I chuckled.
He laughed and just kept looking down. “You’re one of a kind you know that?” He finally said.
“Oh, I know. Now let’s go downstairs” he nodded and left the room.
My heart felt a little heavy. I don’t know why I had thought of so many things about Vince and now I felt a little hurt. He wasn’t waiting for me and his night out proved that. I didn’t expect him to be waiting but after yesterday I thought things were gonna change between us. I guess I was wrong.
I pushed all those thoughts and feelings to the back of my mind and went downstairs. This wasn’t about me, it was about Taylor and her family.
Downstairs everyone was scattered. Mingling and talking among themselves. I went to the bar area and picked up a glass of wine. The back balcony door was open. It was cold but I knew the view there was amazing. I walked out and you could see a lot of Greenwoods. The lights shining in the distance. I stood there admiring the view when I heard some loud voices. I looked down and Vince was standing there with a girl.
“Vince, why are you doing this? I thought we had something special between us?!” The girl yelled at him.
“Kyra it was one night! We spend one night together and it meant nothing. Why the hell did you give me a hickey last night?! You said you needed my help and I came over. You tricked me and while giving me a hug you gave me a hickey! What the hell?! That’s not special that’s harassment and I can press charges!” He yelled back at her. “I have someone very special inside this house right now and she’s just seen that fucking hickey. She thinks I spend
the night with you. Do you know how that makes me look?!” Wow, he sounded angry.
“But Vinny…” she whined.
“No, get out right now before I call the cops. Leave!”
The girl stomped her legs and turned around and walked away. I moved back a little so Vince didn’t see me there. I heard his footsteps and then a door close. No, this doesn’t change anything. I shouldn’t have even thought of things with Vince and it will stay like that.
I heard Mr Callum call for everyone so I went back in. I settled on a barstool in the kitchen. Suddenly from behind me a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. I looked up and Vince was there. I stayed in his arms. I gave myself the same excuse. He needed support and I was here for him. I didn’t hear that conversation outside and I was just gonna go with the flow. Vince tightened his arms around me rested his chin on my head. It felt really nice. I sat there blocking out all the emotions running through me. I couldn’t let things change….
