chapter three (nsfw)

A/N: I've changed the writing POV cause it's been ages since I've written my last fic

The next few days went by slowly as both you and Connie had to clean up your homes. Sasha and Niccolo had decided to move in together in another town, where Niccolo had found a job and you couldn't afford the apartment on your own. You planned on moving back home to your parents while you looked for a new apartment but you were still a little scared as to what would happen between you and Connie if it took too long, so you decided not to tell him yet, though you wanted to do it sooner rather than later.

You were driving to the airport, to pick up your family. They have saved up for this trip for a while now, wanting to support you for your graduation. When you arrived at the airport you spotted a familiar Jeep, knowingly you parked right next to it. You got out of your car and knocked on the window, making that familiar face look up from their phone, rolling the window all the way down "hey hermosa, what are you doing here?" He was flirting, which was pretty much the typical Connie "I could ask you the same" You replied, making your way to the passenger door. He leaned over to open it before you could do it yourself "I'm guessing, given that graduation is today, we are both picking up our families" he assumed and you nodded. You made yourself comfortable in the seat, starting to fidget with your fingers "Connie are you gonna stay here after we graduate?" You asked, not able to look at him. His eyes wandered off, taking the view from the parking deck in "yeah, my dad said I could keep the house, make it my own". You followed his eyes, looking at the city " I'm gonna move back in with my parents for a while since I won't be able to afford the rent now that Sasha is moving out. I'll stay with them until I find something new" a lump forming in your throat. He took his eyes off the view, turning his head to look at you. His eyes making their way to yours "if you want to you can move in with me" he offered quietly. You looked at him confused, making him realize he said that out loud "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud... I was just thinking" his eyes now looking down. "Isn't it a little too early for that yet?" You laughed not sure if he was actually serious. He just shrugged " I mean yeah it's a little early but you could have your own room... I just don't want you to be gone for too long cause I'm scared that this thing between us could fall apart" he sighed quietly before shrugging again. You were just as concerned about your relationship as he was "Okay how about this: I will keep my stuff at you place, fly home for two weeks and think about this thing and I will come back and tell you my decision" you held your pinky out. He interlocked both of you pinkies "seems like a plan" he pulled you in by your pinkie, stopping just before your lips touched "but don't stay here for me, do it for yourself" he whispered. You nodded before closing the gap between the two of. His lips were smooth an had a faint peach taste, you guessed that he used some sort of peach lip balm. He wrapped his hand around you, wanting to pull you on his lap but you stopped him "Not now" you gave him a peck before opening the car door "later okay? I gotta go now". He nodded but kept a grip on your wrist "I have a family party with everyone later. I'd be happy to meet your fam if you don't mind" he smiled, letting go of you. "Of course we'll be there an hour after the ceremony ends" with that you left the car, making your way inside the airport building.

You were back at your apartment again, your family waiting for you to get ready in the living room. They had settled into their hotel already but you invited them over so they could meet Sasha. You put on your gown before heading into the living room. Your family looked at you proudly as your dad put your cap on "You're all grown up now huh?" He was already tearing up. You hugged him tightly "Dad save the tears for later" you let go and went over to Sasha. The two of you hugged each other before taking pictures with your families. After the picture session all of you made your way to your cars, driving off to the College campus.

You arrived 30 minutes before the ceremony started, making sure your family found their seats in the family section. You then walked over to your own seat. You looked around, feeling anxious all the sudden. You weren't used to have so many people around you, especially not that many you didn't know. Your leg started shaking, your hands got sweaty and you felt your heart beating uncomfortably fast. You looked around to find your family but you couldn't see them anymore, with all the people getting seated now. You felt a hand on your shoulder "hey hermosa, you okay?". You glanced up to Connie who took a seat next to you "I'm not feeling too well but I'll be fine" you tried to wave it off. He put his arm around your shoulder pulling you in for a side hug "You're anxious aren't you?" He took gently caressed your hand. You closed your eyes, taking deep breaths "yeah there are too many people around". His warm embrace made you feel better and the two of you stayed like that until the Ceremony began.
