Summer of Secrets •BWWM MATURE ROMANCE•

Chapter Twelve

My mind was all over the place. I really needed to get my hands busy so I decided to make a quick wig.

I bleached the hair to a bold blonde.
The wig was a 24inches straight unit.

While I was busy making the wig and listening to music I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in" I say while not turning around.

"You're really focused I see"

Jumping from hearing Vinnie's deep voice I was immediately startled.

"Wha-" I couldn't get my words out all the way.

He walked towards my bed and set at the end where I was standing next to the window.

"Your mom let me in" he says

"Figures" I say rolling my eyes.

I instantly realize I was wearing my bonnet still with pajama shorts and a crop tank that barely covered my chest.

"I Ugh better put some clothes on" I say moving to my bedroom closet.

"No need to" he looked at me while leaning on his thighs.

"Why did you leave the party early?" he randomly asked.

Walking a little bit closer to him I say.

"I wasn't feeling good, it might've been the vodka. I'm not much of a drinker." I scratched my neck looking at him.

"Did I disrespect you last night in the pantry?" He looked at the floor.

"No not at all! your touches and kisses just caught me of guard" I kinda panic from his question.

He got off my bed and walked towards me. "Do you not want me to do that again?" His voice was husky and low.

"I mean I- don't mind" I bit my lip while twisting my fingers together.

He placed his thumb on my lips to break away from my biting.

"Do you bite your lip when you're nervous?" He asked.

"Mhm" looking up into his eyes

"I can tell. Do I make you nervous?" he asked another question.

"Yeah every time I see you" I say softly

"What if I tell you you're the one that makes me nervous?" He says.

I laughed "Not sure how, I'm nothing special."

Is he serious?

"You are very special and sexy as fuck so please give yourself more credit then that"

I felt his words. He made my knees feel weak.

"Oh okay" I was honestly speechless.

"Will you be ready for our lunch in 30?" he asked me pulling away.

"Yeah that should work."

"Okay see you in 30" he winked at me then headed down the stairs.

I felt so many butterflies inside whenever I'm around him but I still get this wary feeling that he's hiding something.

After I finished getting ready and saying bye to my mama, Branson, and Breonna, Vinnie drove us to his favorite Crab shake here in Tybee Island.

It was an outside shake near the water.
We took a seat near the back facing the lake.

"This place is so cool" I say taking my seat while looking around.

"Yeah this place has the best seafood on the island." Vinnie says.
