Plot: Vinnie buys you something that you felt was way too expensive and you feel a little guilty
———————————————————————————

One thing that you liked about Vinnie was that he was humble. Even though he made lots of money from tik tok, he didn't go out and splurge on things he didn't quite need.

Sure, he bought things at times that the average 19 year old couldn't, but money didn't change him. He wasn't decked out in designer clothes. He wore sweats and a t shirt most days. Maybe some jeans if he was feeling bougie.

But even with that being said, Vinnie always seemed to want to treat you though.

When you two first started dating, he made it known through his actions that he'd pay for stuff you wanted. Because of that, you didn't want him to feel obligated to buy you stuff, so you refrained from talking about items you were interested in. Most of the time.

One time he surprised you with expensive rings. You had once told him in conversation how you liked the ones he owns and how you looked up the company to show him the ones you liked.

A couple weeks later, they showed up in the mail.

Then for your birthday, he got you a purse because you said that you needed a new one. So he went out and got a YSL bag for you. A $1,690 bag.

The most you ever spent on a purse was $60 and you thought that was a lot.

In current time, you just got your drivers license and it was now time to get your own car.

Knowing how Vinnie is with cars, he couldn't wait to tag along and help you find one.

But you already know which one you wanted so that cut down time on the process of looking around. You showed Vinnie the different styles on your laptop, trying to find which one would fit your budget.

You wrote down everything. The base price. How much it would be per month. And even accessories to customize it.

You showed Vinnie and giggled with excitement as it was almost yours. You've wanted this car for so long now.

About three weeks later, you're finishing up eating lunch at the house when Vinnie comes inside.

"Hey, I want you to see something."

You squinted your eyes at him. "Hmm, should I be concerned?"

"Just come on." He smiled.

You walk over to him and he wants to put a blindfold over you.

"Okay now I really am concerned."

"Can you see anything?"

"No."

He led you through the house and you could tell you ended outside. He turned you around to the position he wanted you in.

"Okay take it off in three...two...one!"

You took the bandana off just to see a box of crates in front of you.

"Um, what's this for?" You asked.

"Oh this? No, I didn't mean this," Vinnie said. "I meant that."

He turned you around 180 degrees and you came face to face with your dream car.

Your breath hitched in your throat and your heart began to beat fast. Everything around you became blurry as you were only focused on the vehicle in front of you.

You came back to reality as Vinnie put his arm around your shoulder. "It's yours." He said.

Backing out of his embrace, your eyes began to fill with tears. You put your hand over your mouth and shook your head. "No it's not." You answered in disbelief.

"Yes it is."

"No it's not."

Vinnie smiled proudly as he handed you the keys. "Here babe. You deserve it."

You couldn't hold the tears in anymore. "No you're lying. That's not mine."

"Yes it is. Take the keys."

You pushed his hand away.

"I can't." You cried. "I can't take this from you."

He frowned. "What do you mean?"

"This is too much. You can't keep spending money on me like this. I'll never be able to pay you back."

"Pay me back? Babe, this isn't what this is about. I bought you this car because I love you. You've been working so hard and have been wanting this for a long time. You deserve to have this."

You didn't say anything after that.

"Come here." He said and wrapped his arms around you.

"Sorry." You smiled after pulling away and wiping your face with your hands. "It's just overwhelming."

"I understand. And here hold this." He gave you the keys. "I forgot the most important part."

He went over to the car and pulled out a red bow that he meant to put on before you came out.

He tossed it onto the hood but it slid right off on the other side.

"Ah shit." He exclaimed and ran to get it and you laughed.

You walked over to the drivers side and got in. Inhaling the new car smell and admiring the interior.

"Wow this is insane. I can't wait to decorate it."

"You wanna take it for a spin?" Vinnie asked eagerly.

"Let's go."
