"hi."

"hi, baby," your boyfriend mumbled, his rough morning rasp sending your stomach fluttering. you slowly lowered your body onto his, letting your elbows secure, settling right by his shoulders, and gently bringing your hands to cup his jaw, running your thumb across it. his eyes were still glassy from the nap you'd just taken together, his cheeks slightly swollen with sleep and lips plumped and chapped and you swore to yourself you'd never seen a better view.

"everything okay?" vinnie asked, dragging his fingers over your forearm to your wrist and back again in a distance motion, droopy eyes focused on you.

"perfect," you whispered back, watching a sleepy smile grow on his lips, yours following closely behind. you leaned down and pressed your lips to his, slowly shifting your weight onto his hips to steady yourself from the lack of your elbow support. he accepted the change, teasing his tongue along your bottom lip, coaxing your mouth to openly meet his own. you smiled into the kiss, letting vinnie have his way, your tongue meeting his own in a small fight for dominance.

"love you," he breathed, gently detaching his lips from your own, instead bending further down to the exposed skin under your jaw. he left empty caresses against your throat, his lips fluttering wherever he could reach, leaving you breathless and sated above him. you could feel the curve of his lips into a small smile each time you released a soft sound and your mind went fuzzy from the buzz of his body beneath yours.

"love you more," you whispered, bringing a hand to cup the back of his head and lean down to meet his forehead with your own. his hazel eyes met your own, leaving a tingle to swim down your spine and your head to rush. they pooled with adoration and caution and pure love and you smiled because you couldn't stop yourself.

"impossible," vinnie mumbled, letting the soft skin of your cheek muddle his words. he brought his hands up to cup both sides of your face, and slowly let his thumbs push back the few hairs falling between the both of you. "absolutely impossible."

....................

"so," vinnie spoke softly into the shell of your ear, leaning from behind you with his hands resting on either side of your own, "what do we think?"

"they're absolutely beautiful, vin. i love them," you whispered back, turning your cheek to press a kiss into his clothed shoulder. the flowers before you were an assortment you'd never been able to dream of, hundreds of different blooms spread out along the market wall. there weren't many others around you, the early afternoon air settling the both of you just fine, and you were so happy vinnie had decided to bring you.

"i'm glad," he said, leaving a kiss on your temple before pulling you away from the vendor you were at and moving down the wall to admire some more. "which ones do you want to take home?" he'd noticed you'd been eying a wildflower and lily bouquet earlier in the market, and wasn't surprised in the least when that exact description followed his question.

you retraced your footsteps back through the market, weaving around the few individuals admiring flowers like yourselves until you reached the section where your bouquet lay placed in a bucket. vinnie gently grabbed one of your hands in his own while he asked the vendor for the flowers, and you smiled and thanked the small, older asian woman that passed the bundle of stems to you.
