"yes, you're my lover, there is no other"

we got downstairs and i saw the food set down at the table. i walk over, sitting down, starting to eat. vinnie sits down across from me, grabbing his plate to eat. "hey, eyes up here buddy." i said snapping, as his eyes lingered down my body. he snapped his head back up to meet my eyes.

"you have a beautiful body you know that?" he said drinking a cup of orange juice. i furrowed my eyebrows, "are you good?" i asked concerned. "yeah why wouldn't i be?" he said smiling, as he took a bite of his waffles. i just nodded, shrugging it off, eating the rest of my food.

*15 minutes later*

i was now in my room, laying down on my bed, with my head on vinnie's chest. "nai?" "hm?" "where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?" he asked, running his fingers through my hair.

"5-10 years? i don't wanna stay in LA for any longer after i get to the age of 22, so i'll probably move out somewhere east of the U.S.

i would want to be married to a someone who can love and take care of me, someone who would fill this void in my heart, someone to stop the pain.

i'd probably have children eventually, so i'll take care of them" i said responding to the question. "what about you?" i asked, rubbing circles on his stomach.

"well basically the same thing you said, but i want my future to be with you." my eyes widened at the words he said. 'he wanted a future with me?' the room went quiet for a bit and i just laid there thinking about the words he said.

"i'm sorry, i didn't mean to scare you. i just- i like you a lot and i couldn't picture my future with anyone else but you." he said, sounding worried. i could feel his heart racing faster as his body raised up and down. i sat up, facing my body towards him.
