Chapter 13
He picked up a remote and turned off the music. “Jesus Rosy! You gave me a heart attack” he said trying to even his breathing.
“Me? I did no such thing. Mind you I’m about to have the same kind of thing just watching you working out” I said fake fanning myself and laughed. “I brought you your shake and came to say bye”
“What you’re leaving?” He asked taking the cup from me.
“Yeah, the boss wants me back to work tomorrow so I’m gonna take off now and go get myself sorted for tomorrow. Taylor and Rocky will come back
tomorrow”
“Do you really have to go? We didn’t even get to hang out this time” he whined.
“Your right we didn’t. But we managed to convince people something was going on with us. I just had a fun conversation with your mum” I laughed and he groaned.
“Damn I’m sorry! I don’t understand why two people can’t be friends and have a little cuddle”
“Little cuddle? Vinny the way you were holding me was like I was gonna disappear” I laughed and climbed to sit on the table against the wall. Vince put his cup down and walked up to me. Shit, bad idea!
“I didn’t see you complain once,” he said as he stood between my legs and places his hands on the table. His face was very close even though I was flush up against the wall.
“I didn’t say I was complaining. Just that people were really questioning” I swallowed the lump in my throat.
“I don’t care what people think. I care what you think and from what I saw you were quite happy. You fit so perfectly in my arms” his nose bumping mine. He was getting closer and closer and if I moved I would touch his lips. I had stopped breathing. He brought up his hands and caressed my cheek.
“Rosy breathe babe. I don’t want you dying” he said and made some circles with his thumb on my cheek. I let out a big sigh and inhaled again.
Was I really going to do this? Was he really going to be my first kiss? Fate was on my side today. Right on cue, Edward walked in.
“Oh, I’m sorry master Vince. I didn’t mean to interrupt. Sir is calling you” Edward said and bowed his head and walked away.
“Fuxking dad! Gotta ruin it for me” Vince said and laughed. I took that chance and got down with the table.
“Well, maybe it’s not meant to be.” I walked towards the door.
“I believe in taking what I want and not waiting on fate to decide for me,” he said.
“Fair enough. But I believe in fate so maybe next time” I laughed and walked out the door. I popped my head back in “Bye Vinny. I’ll come to have that coffee with you next time I’m in town” I winked at him and his face just lit up with a big smile.
I walked to the main door and grabbed my stuff. Rocky had given me his keys last night so I was ready to go. I packed my things in the car and got in. I took one last look at the house and drove out the driveway. Maybe next time I come into town Vince and I could have lunch before I go back. I don’t know if that was going to give him the wrong impression.
I spend the next 4 hours lost in my thoughts. I had a long week coming up and had better things to worry about than a boy. My career was always more important. I worked way too hard to let it waste away…
