"Have you ever wanted to be a singer?"

"I think every little kid dreams of that."

"But you didn't day dream about a wedding?"

I turn my head toward Vinnie, "Why can't you get over that?"

He smiles softly at me, "Because I have, and it's crazy that you haven't."

I head bud him, "So what? We're the same person now?"

He moves his arm from under my head, rolling onto his side so he can sit up beside me while I lay on my back on my bed. After he fingered me, gave him head, and then grabbed our laundry from the floor. He had sat on my dryer as he watched me while we chatted back and forth about random things like we do. I really think there's one brain cell between us honestly. Our conversations are so random and never completely serious.

But I love it.

He takes my hand off of my tummy, and hooks his pinky with mine, "Just about."

He's so beautiful.

I bounce our hands between us, "We started talking a month ago."

He rolls onto his back again, His finger still holding mine between us, "Crazy Right?"

My eyes wander the designs in my ceiling, thinking back to when all wed do is send reaction memes to each other.

"Where do you want this to go?" I ask him softly.

He pulls my hand up to his mouth, kissing the back of my hand, "Well considering your my girlfriend now, I'd like to keep you around."

"That didn't count." I shake my head, keeping my face straight.

"What do you mean it didnt count?" He asks, sitting up off the bed to look down at me.

"You asked me in front of my family because my mom pressured you. It didn't count." I reply in all seriousness and he leans down, his lips hovering above mine.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

"No."

He groans and throws himself back against the bed, his hands extending in the air in frustration. "Why not?"

"Because you asked because I brought it up. You have not think about it." I rest my hands on my tummy and turn my head.

He glares back at me, and then sits back up quickly. I squeal and go to slide down the bed away from him but he grabs my arm and pulls me to his chest.

He hugs onto me tightly from behind, and rolls onto his back with me on top of him, "Stop being mean to me!"

"I'm not!" I laugh as he tickles my sides, "I'm just being serious!"

He laughs in my ear, "Well stop it! Be my girlfriend already!"

"Never!" I say manically and he rolls over on top of me, going dead weight. "OKAY OKAY I WILL WILL."

He lifts his head up, resting his chin on my chest, "You will?"

I push his hair out of his face and smile at him, "Yes."

He presses his face into my chest, hiding but his arms squeeze me tightly.

I continue running my fingers through his hair, my eyes up on the ceiling again, until I close them.

It's warm here.

"I've got something to talk to you about Juniper."

I sit straight up out of bed with a gasp in my throat, the itching feeling that ive been choked lingering there. I cough and grip my throat, my chest squeezing while my eyes wildly fart around my bedroom, looking for the only man that calls me by that name.

I look down to my side, where Vinnie lays sleeping soundly with his arm lazily draped at my waist.

Hed hurt Vinnie.

I touch Vinnies warm skin, feeling the raised scars from the years of skating in his elbow. I move his arm out of the way with a harshly beating heart, and slip out of bed.

The first thing I do is check my bedroom and bathroom doors to make sure they're still locked.

I lean my head on my bedroom door, swallowing hard while I exhale. I close my eyes, getting control of my breathing when a voice calls out to me.

"Juni?"

I jump, turning around to Vinnie as he sits up off the bed.

He rubs his eyes sleepily, his voice laced heavily with sleep while he asks, "What are you doing?"

I look past him to my closed window, and slowly make my way back to the bed. "Nothing."

"Are you sleep walking?"

"Sure."

"Liar."

I chuckle and slip back into his arms, comfort finding me. I lay my head on his arm, my back facing his chest and his arms cross over my chest. His hand moves, pressing against my chest and I can feel him shift to lean over me.

"Baby your heart." Hes now looking down at me from behind, his chin brushing my arm. "Are you okay?"

I turn slightly, cupping his face with my hand, "Shh, go back to sleep."

He shakes his head, moving my hand from his face, "Did you have a nightmare?"

I can tell I'm calming down, because if he's with me, I know for a fact that he'd beat the fuck out of that asshole.

"Yea but I'm okay." I admit to him, giving him a soft smile, "I'll fall back asleep soon, it just scared me."

He presses a kiss to my arm, "Ill stay with you."

I raise a brow, "Arent you already?"

He rolls his eyes at me, "I meant I'll stay awake with you- I'm tired as fuck okay?"

I roll back over and pat his arm around me. "You can sleep, just please..." I close my eyes and snuggle into him, "Don't let go of me."

"I won't."
