"you're not funny" i try to hide my smile as i grab at vinnie's waist and stand on my tiptoes.

his laugh is so pure, and reminds me of children's laughter. he could brighten a room up just by laughing, and have crowds and crowds of people lining up just to hear the harmony erupt from his lips. i know i would.

"vinnie! i'm serious!" i raise my voice and finally grab my phone out of his grasp, making sure it is still locked and he hasn't been able to access anything.

his chuckles quieten down and i walk back over to the couch.

"why were you so set on not letting me go through your phone? i'm sure you've got a bunch of secrets piling up in that tiny ass device" he smirks and plops down next to me.

"i do not! i just don't want you to see, so shutup" i huff out playfully and he holds his hands up in the air.

"fair enough"

glad that's over.

"hey you hungry?" he asks and gets his phone out of his pocket.

"mhmm not really, i had chipotle not along ago"

"well tell me when you are, so i can order pizza or something" i nod and direct my focus back on the television in front of me.

a random tv show plays subtly in the background as silence falls upon us.

i take this time to take in vinnie's home. it's smaller than i would have expected, but still beautiful nonetheless. it's covered in antique wooden furniture, and carefully designed picture frames. it's wonderful.

vinnie scoots closer to me, until the gap between us closes. he stares at my lips intensely, as if he's fighting the urge to kiss me. his hands slide around my back, pulling me even closer. he grazes his thumb over my bottom lip slowly, and my breath hitches.

vinnie's fingertips find their way underneath my shirt, drawing gentle circles against the bare skin on my stomach.

i can't take the wait anymore. i just want him to kiss me already.

i lick my lips, inching them closer to his slowly. "kiss me" i whisper hoarsely. he smiles and rolls  his eyes, then pressing his mouth against mine. his soft, plump lips explore my mouth as i'm leaned back against the chair, now laying on my back.

our foreheads are pressed together as i slide a hand through vinnie's curls, tugging on them harshly as my whole body curves into his.

i'm hungry, hungry for him. his teeth tug on my bottom lip and a moan escapes my lips.

his fingers dig into my hips as he hovers over me completely, propping himself up with an arm. he pulls away for air for a second, i stare into his lust-filled eyes before his lips smash onto mine again.

at this point we're completely devouring each other.

his chest hammers against mine as my heart keeps missing beats.
his lips are softer than anything i've ever known.

vinnie releases a groan, making me lose it completely. i kiss him faster and rougher, feeling the need to touch him all over. it feels so good and i can't stop.

"vinnie" i murmur into his mouth, not wanting this to ever stop.

"your lips... are so soft.. i'm-" my voice is hoarse and breathless and i am cut off by vinnie kissing me again. so needy.
he hums in response, the vibrations send shivers through my body.

vinnie's pov.

i've kissed a lot of girls, but none of them feel like her. i can't get enough of this girl, she makes me feel alive and ignites something in me that i've never felt before.

"who's your friend?" a cheery female voice chirps up and my body freezes. i jump off of briar as quick as possible to see my mom and brother standing in the doorway.

my lips are red and swollen as briar stands up and stands next to me. i can tell she's embarrassed by the look on her face.

a puzzled expression spreads across my mom and reggie as i approach them, grocery bags tucked under their legs.

"umm i didn't know you'd be home so early. how long have you both been standing there?" i question my mom and she smiles and winks at me.

"long enough" she chuckles and walks over to briar.

"hi, i'm maria hacker" a smile widens at briars lips as she extends a hand out in front of my mom. she spreads her arms out wide and engulfs briar in a hug.

"it's so nice to meet you. my name is briar" she tries to fix her messy hair as my mom removes herself from the hug and turns around to face me.

she mouths 'she's pretty' and i reply with 'i know'

reggie smirks and i roll my eyes at him, only for him to nudge me at my side.

"looks like we've got an extra guest for dinner tonight. that's if you'll stay briar?"

"oh that's okay, i wouldn't want to impose" she says and glances at me.

"you're not imposing at all! come on, you can help me" as my mom drags briar into the kitchen she gives me a curious look before leaving.
