you're the one.|| vinnie hacker

041

vinnie and i arrived at home about 20 minutes ago and we didn't start our project yet because none of us really wanted to.

we were both a little tired and also i wanted to talk to daniele first. the thought of him wasn't leaving my mind and i had to be focused enough to make the project.

daniele <3
me
i'm home, if you can call me :)

i texted him hoping he was still at home and we could have talked for at least 5 minutes.

not even a minute later daniele texted me back and soon after a facetime call was incoming. i never answered that fast in my life.

"heyy good morning." i said slightly smiling. funny how i just ended lessons and he was about to start them.

"hi babe, how are you?" daniele kindly asked me. i could tell he was still tired.

"i'm good, i just got home, but i have an assignment to do and it will take the whole afternoon." i said hoping it would have taken less time. "what about you?"

"no way, you'll do it in less than an hour, i'm pretty sure. you've always handled it well." he said reassuring me. "at least you're home, i'm about to go to school and i don't really feel like it."

"thank you for reassuring me, but this time is different. i kinda messed up, but it's nothing i can't fix." i said remembering what happened this morning.

there was a little moment of silence. we both were awkwardly waiting for one of us to start talking, but eventually daniele started.

"listen babe, i know the way i told you about giulia wasn't the best way, but you weren't answering and i needed to tell you as soon as possible."

"yeah i know that, but the thought of giulia being there with you.." i stopped for a second. "i know that now we're together and there's nothing between you guys but.."

"and that's all that matters. that day she came here, we talked as friends and we cleared things up with my parents." daniele said before i could even finish the sentence.

"speaking of your parents, why all of a sudden they wanted to talk to giulia?" i quickly asked. this thought was torturing me inside.

"i don't really know. but it doesn't matter cause.."

"actually it does daniele. you did a whole mess by dating me and giulia at the same time just to please your parents because they wouldn't have liked her and now? they pretend nothing happened?"

maybe i raised my voice a little bit, but i didn't really care because daniele had to understand how i was actually feeling about that.

"i know it's bullshit, but what can i do? it's my parents and they kinda liked her, of course they like you more, but you should try to understand. we all messed up, but we can't keep going like this. why don't we-"

"you know what? i don't care, daniele. do whatever you want. i can't keep loosing my time now, i have an important assignment to do. see you later." i said clicking the red button to end the call.

i sighed deeply and i tried not to cry. it hadn't even been a month since i arrived here and things were already fucked. stupid me i thought it would have worked out.

i closed my eyes for some seconds trying to calm down and many things were going on in my mind, but they suddenly disappeared when i heard someone at the door calling me.

"everything's good? i didn't want to interrupt anything, i just wanted to see if you were ready to start.." vinnie said standing at the door of my room.

"yeah sure, let's go." i said getting up from the bed. "and you didn't interrupt anything."

we walked downstairs without saying a word. i was quite because i was still thinking about the facetime call with daniele and vinnie probably noticed something was off even though i tried to hide it.

as soon as i arrived in the kitchen i took a seat around the table and i thought vinnie would have done the same, but he didn't because i saw him opening the fridge.

"just in case we wanna take a break. you know doing researches is hard and exhausting." vinnie said ironically and with a pretty serious face. that's probably why i couldn't hold my laugh.

vinnie didn't say anything else, he was simply standing next to me and he was looking at me slightly smirking after placing some coke cans and snacks on the table.

"what? do i have something on my face, vincent?" i ironically asked causing him to shake his head.

"actually yes, but i didn't want to seem rude." vinnie said. i looked at him to see if he was still joking, but he seemed mad serious.

weird. i ended the facetime call few minutes ago and it didn't seem like i has something on my face.

i started touching my face randomly to take off anything that could be on it, but then vinnie came closer to me noticing that i was slightly panicking.

"hey stop, you're making it worse. now you're face is dirty." he said calmly and getting even closer. "don't worry i'll help you."

now vinnie was definitely too close to my face. i didn't like it because it was getting me nervous and i could have handled it by myself. so i tried to back off, but vinnie placed his hand on my arm causing me to stop and stay there.

"trust me, ok? stop moving or it'll take more time." he chuckled.

i sighed and said: "i just hope you're not making it worse cause if y-"

i couldn't even finish the rest of the sentence because suddenly i felt something on my face. for real this time.

"what the fuck was that?" i screamed while i was trying to take off whatever was on my face.

i looked at vinnie waiting for him to explain what was going on, but all he was doing was laughing his ass off.

i shook my head and a second later something in his hand got my attention: he was holding a whipped cream spray. that's what i had in my face. then he placed it on the table and it was the perfect moment to take it and get a little revenge.

"you find it funny, huh?" i said while i quickly grabbed it and sprayed a little amount of whipped cream on his face.

vinnie looked at me and i could tell he didn't expect that. i started laughing even more and i said: "now we're even and we can start studying."

"nah let's have some more fun, we have the whole afternoon to study." vinnie said and as much as i was tempted by it, i shook my head as a sign of 'no' and fortunately vinnie didn't insist much, so we were finally ready to start the assignment, hoping it wouldn't have taken much time.
