fuck it let's ride | Connie Springer

chapter two

You were woken up the next morning to the sound of a running shower and rays of sunshine sneaking through the little openings between the window curtains.

You blinked a few times before sitting up in the bed, rubbing your eyes.Not wanting to cross any boundaries, you slipped into a pair of sweats that you found on his desk chair and walked into the kitchen.

"Well good morning sleeping beauty" she greeted you as you made your way over to the coffee machine

"Morning Sash" you said making yourself a cup of coffee

"Seems like someone had their fun last night" she smirked pointing at your neck. It took you a while to realize that she was pointing at, looking into the slightly mirrored glass of the kitchen cabinets. You tried to cover the hickeys but soon gave up, not feeling the need to hide them.

"No need to make a big deal out of it, it's not like you've never seen me with hickeys before" You sighed, the amount of times you hooked up with someone during your college time being quite high.

"Oh hun this is a big deal, You haven't hooked up with someone in a year. So how was it?" She raised her eyebrows questioning. Your thoughts went back to the memories from the night before

"It was good" a smile forming on your face "Really good... better than anyone before" You took a sip of your coffee, leaning onto the counter

"So was it just a hookup or is there more?" Sasha sat down on one of the island chairs, resting her head on her hand. She had always been this curious about your love life and you didn't mind. You knew she was just trying to protect you from anything too bad.

"He did say that he likes me a lot" your emphasis on the last two words.
"But we haven't really talked about what we are'' your eyes fixated on your cup of coffee. You were hoping that Connie actually meant what he said last night and it wasn't the alcohol talkin.
"Well that's something...anyways" she quickly changed the subject as someone shuffled into the kitchen
"Good morning Sasha, Buenas días hermosa". Your head turned back, giving Connie a soft smile
"Buenas días".
He walked towards you, embracing you in a warm hug
"How are you feeling?" he said softly, resting his head on your shoulder
"I'm good". You gave him a quick peck on his cheek, petting his head. You loved how oddly good his buzz cut felt.
"You two wanna eat something?" He asked, opening the fridge. You looked at Sasha, who's eyes lit up
"Connie what kind of a question is that? Of course we wanna eat. How about some Eggs?" She turned towards you looking for approval
"Eggs sound good but scrambled please". Your eyes focusing back on your coffee before you continued "Connie do you want some coffee?".
"I'd take a hot chocolate if you don't mind. I'm not a fan of coffee, too bitter for my taste".
You chuckled walking over to the coffee machine and making him his beverage.

A while later you all sat at the island enjoying your breakfast.

"Sasha you got any plans for today?" You asked, trying to stir up a conversation.
"Well yes...but no. Nico got a little bit too out of control yesterday and I think I'll be taking care of him today". She sighed, knowing how grumpy Niccolo was when he was hungover.
"Is there anything you wanted to do today?". You simply shook your head, not having anything particular in mind.
You finished breakfast short after and Sasha headed to Niccolo's room, leaving you and Connie alone in the Kitchen.

It was silent until Connie decided to speak up.
"So about last night". He began as you furrowed your eyebrows
"I hope I didn't come off too strong or anything... and if you wanna take your time with this thing between us that's totally fine by me". You smiled a bit, knowing he that he was panicking a bit. You thought it was cute, especially cause you had never seen him like this.
"Connie calm down". You stood up from your chair, walking towards him. "Yesterday was amazing, you were amazing. But I need to know if this thing between us has a future or not" Your eyes focused on his, looking for reassurance.
"Everything I said yesterday was the truth. I want you Y/N but only if you want it too". He looked at you softly, a small smile on his face.
"Well in that case" You said, gently placing a hand on his cheek, pulling him in for a kiss.
"Take that as a yes"
