i wake up to the sound of the doorbell ringing. i rip the covers off the bed and wrap them around my naked body. i run to the door to be greeted by a cheery mail man.

"just sign here" he hands me the small check book and i sign on the paper.

"fun night huh?" he smirks and his eyes rake all over me. i grimace at his words and grab the package before shutting the door in his face.

my sunday mornings are usually spent with pancakes and waffles or a glass or orange juice, not sore legs from sex and uncomfortable encounters with weird mailmen.

i run back up the stairs quickly, vinnie is still fast asleep in my bed, the stained sheets lay over the bottom part of his body.

great, now i have more laundry to do.

i grab my phone at the nightstand to see an overflow of messages from the group chat pop up. they were talking all night while i was losing my virginity to my boyfriend. they don't need to know that yet though.

vinnie groans slightly and lets out a yawn, he sits up whilst rubbing his eyes with his knuckle.

his shirt is the first piece of clothing i see so i throw it over my head.

"briar?" his auburn curls sit over his forehead in a messy state. he looks incredibly hot.

i hum in response as i tidy my room up a little. "why are you up?" he asks me.

"uhh the doorbell woke me up" i chuckle and he gets up. i widen my eyes at vinnie, completely having forgotten that he's completely naked. how he walks around like that freely i'll never understand.

he walks over to me and presses a light kiss to my temple. his lips linger on my skin for a short moment, making my stomach flutter.

"we're wearing each other's clothes now?" he smiles at me and my heart starts to race.

"you should probably put some clothes on" i glance down and then back up at him as a flush sweeps across his cheeks.

"oh yeah" i suppress my giggles and vinnie shoots me a playful glare. "are you going to tell me why you were upset vin?" i watch him as he gets dressed.

"i said i didn't want to talk about it briar, just leave it alone" his demeanour quickly changes. he presses his lips together and runs a hand through his messy hair.

"i cant just leave it alone, you were crying?" i say and walk over to him. i look up into his eyes to see if he'll give into me but he doesn't do anything.

i decide to just 'leave it alone' like he requested. but i'd wish he'd be more open with me, after all we are in a relationship.

"i wasn't crying, there was something in my eye" he rolls his eyes at me and i give him a half smile.

vinnie eventually leaves after we eat breakfast and chill. the day passes by slowly and i decide to invite lucas over to hang.

he arrives soon after and raids my kitchen. "you have all this food but you haven't got pop-tarts?" he exclaims as he rummages around.

bags and bags of food are thrown all over the kitchen and i find myself having to pick them up after lucas.

"lucas stop! i'll order something since you're so desperate" i scoff and proceed to order food on my phone. "but i want pop tarts!' he exclaims and huffs out like a little child.

"what are you, twelve?"

"yeah on a scale of one to ten, duh" he fires back and i'm left astonished.

"hahaha, very funny" i fake laugh and hold my middle finger up in his face and he gasps.

"now shut the fuck up, and let's watch" i narrow my eyes at him playfully and throw myself onto the seat next to him.

-

i wake up leaning against lucas, i glance up at the clock to see that it's 2am and there's loud pounding against the door. i rush up to it and swing it open to see alicia standing there, furiously.

she storms over to lucas and shakes him awake.

"alicia?" he half whispers. "where the fuck were you? i was waiting!" her dark brown locks lay at the sides of her face, i've never seen her look this pretty before. or angry.

"we fell asleep, i'm sorry" he doesn't look at her.

she glances at me and then back at lucas.

"you fell asleep? i'm your girlfriend!" she yells, her veins are almost bulge out of her forehead.

"i dont know why you're so mad, we're literally just best friends" i say and she glares at me, her face is flushed and she looks livid.

"what did you just say?" alicia crinkles her nose at me, and i almost laugh at her.

"i said we're just friends? you know that alicia" ugh god she's so bitchy and jealous for literally no reason. no wonder she clings onto amber all the fucking time.

"listen, i dont know why you think you have some sort of power over everyone, but you don't. so shut the fuck up, and stay away from my boyfriend. got it?" i'm left speechless. i tilt my head to the side in confusion and narrow my eyes at this girl. she walks over to lucas and grabs him by his arm, dragging him towards the door.

you have got to be kidding me.

"bye, briar" lucas mutters under his breath. it shouldn't have to be like this, he shouldn't be trapped in a relationship he doesn't want. it's not my place at all but that bitch has got to go.

i pick my phone up to see a few messages and two missed calls from vinnie. actually not a few texts, a lot.
