Vinnie's POV

I woke up with a smile and feeling of comfort for the first time in a while for two reasons:

Number one was that I actually got more than 7 hours of sleep.

Number two was that I woke up next to a literal angel.

Call me corny if you want, but there's no way to explain how delighted I felt seeing the pillow next to me surrounded with long black hair escaping a dark red bonnet.

That was when I noticed the position that we were in.

Somehow, we'd ended up spooning and I suspected that at some point in the middle of the night, my arm just wrapped itself around Olivia's waist and cuddled up to her by instinct. Just as I was about to make a frantic apology, she let out a sigh and cuddled into me even further while keeping a tight grip on my arm that was around her waist.

Fuck.

What business did someone have being THAT cute? I felt butterflies in my stomach go crazy at that simple unconscious action before closing my eyes again to go back to sleep and avoid disturbing her.

Plus I wanted to prolong the feeling of happiness I got from holding her.

About half an hour later, Olivia began to stir awake and sat up with a yawn.

"Morning Vinnie," she smiled at me while putting her glasses on.

"Morning Liv,"

"How'd you sleep?"

"After you came in, I was out like a light,"

"Oh thank God," she sighed out in relief.

However, there was a question nagging at me from the back of my head that I had been wanting to ask since last night.

"Liv?"

"What's up?"

"How- how did you know to check up on me last night?"

She sighed and shook her head with a shrug before finally replying.

"I honestly don't know, Vin, I woke up with an uncomfortable feeling and knew something was wrong, which made me rush over to your room and make sure you were okay,"

"As strange as that is... I'm really happy that you found it, it's been eating away at me for a while now," I admitted bashfully before she turned around with a concerned look on her face.

"I'm really sorry that you felt like you couldn't come to me about what you were going through Vin, I don't care how bad things feel between us, I still want you to know you can always come to me first when you're going through something,"

"Yeah, I know what now," I smiled down at her before putting my head on her shoulder. "Thanks for being there for me Liv,"

"Always,"

Eventually, we had to get out of bed and Olivia ended up going back to her own room again to shower but not before telling me to meet her in the recording studio in an hour.

"I wanna try something new," she had said.

So I quickly hopped into the shower (made a few TikToks) got dressed and made my way into her room to knock on the recording studio door.

"Come in," Olivia's voice yelled.

I made my way inside and found her fiddling around with the computer.

"What are you up to?"

"Just finished producing a beat for a freestyle I'm about to try out,"

"A freestyle? As in like... rapping?"

"Yup! I've actually been wanting to try it out for a while but things have been happening so fast that there wasn't really a chance for me to do it until now,"

"That's so dope!"

"Grab a pair of headphones and take a seat," she gestured towards her glass cabinet full of wireless headphones before putting on her own pair. "Can you press the play button on the laptop for me please?"

I nodded in excitement before following her instructions. Immediately a beatbox type of sound blasted in my ear which was quickly followed by Olivia's voice.

Honestly, when she told me she was going to try freestyling, I had no idea what to expect, but what she came up with certainly did not disappoint. It was seriously like watching her turn into a different person right in front of my eyes. Olivia had always been the quietly confident type but whichever persona she had evidently taken on wasn't the same girl. She was hot, she knew it, and made other people aware of it. Cocky for a good reason and took no shit.

Don't get me wrong, I knew she was crazy talented, but being able to come off with lyrics THAT fire right off the top of her dome was mind boggling to me.

And really attractive too.

"The motherfucking freestyle queen the freestyle pro, young Tina Snow for them hoes that ain't know, ah," she finished off with a laugh before taking her headphones and stepping out of the booth where I was clapping as hard as I could.

"Holy shit, Thompson I did not know you could spit like that!

"Thanks Vinnie," she smiled in delight. "It was actually really fun, I think I'll do it more often,"

"You better because when I listen you your album I'm gonna need something to get hype to and this is literally the versatility you were looking for!"

"It's so cute how excited you're getting, probably more than I am,"

"That's because I know how much potential you have, and now you're finally starting to see it for yourself," I grinned at her.

"Why are you smiling like that?" she looked up at me with a mischievous smirk. Usually, I would've tried changing the subject or coming up with an excuse but I was feeling bold that day.

"Just feels good to have you back, Liv, I missed you like crazy," I took a few steps forward until the gap between us was minimal. Her eyes widened in surprise and I noticed her breathing quickened as well, making me smirk.

"I missed you too, Vin," she whispered back before regaining her composure and clearing her throat. "I have to- I have to go and finish off planning the party for New Years, okay?"

"Whatever you say, Thompson," my smile grew as she quickly left the studio to go downstairs.
