"Juni."

"Hm?"

"As much as I love you hugging on me... we need to go inside."

I pout my bottom lip out and sit up, unwrapping my arms from around Vinnie to cross my arms over my chest.

Vinnie moves past me with the house keys in his hand and unlocks the front door to our vacation home.

The second we're both through the door and it's closed up, I'm right against him again, hugging him tightly with my face buried into his chest. Vinnie holds me tightly, swaying me back and forth gently until he kisses the top of my head and lets go of me.

"Come on." He takes my hand, "You look tired."

I nod my head, agreeing with him that I am, and let him lead me upstairs to the bedroom. I let go of his hand when we reach the doorway, and go right to the bed to sit down on it in a daze.

I'm about to fall asleep sitting up.

I barely kick off my heels before I turn over to my side and lay down, my mind almost immediately going dark but I'm pulled up to a sitting position by my arm.

I whine and open my tired eyes to Vinnie as he pulls my light purple dress up over my head and off my body. As soon as it's off, I go to lay back down but he quickly grabs me by my shoulders to hold me up.

"You're not making this any easier." Vinnie mumbles so I sit up on my own and apologize quietly.

Vinnie steps back to grab one of his tshirts off the bed and then comes back to me to put it on me.

"Thank you." I tell him as I hook my pinky finger with his belt loop.

I pull him to me so that he's standing between my legs, and wrap my arms around his waist to hug him.

"I'm sorry I'm a fish." I murmur into his tummy.

Vinnies hands run up my shoulders until they reach my face. He gently pushes me back so that I'm not hiding my face anymore, our gazes meeting. He takes his thumb and pointer finger to tilt my face up by my chin, saying softly, "Youre not a fish, and even if you were you'd be the prettiest fish."

Why?

I stare up at him, and after a moment of the two of us just gazing at each other, I have to ask, "Why do you put up with me?"

Vinnie frowns at me and moves his hand back to put his palm on my cheek, "Who told you that there's anything to be put up about?"

I stare at him, my lips parting as I think back but it immediately shuts my brain down, so instead, I push his hands out of the way and hug him again.

"I feel like I am." I answer with my eyes squeezes shut, a hiccup escaping my lips.

"Well you're not." He pushes on me, trying to peel me off of him but I stand my ground, squeezing him tightly until finally I use all of my strength to pull him down onto the bed with me.

Vinnie laughs out at my sudden act, the both of us landing on the bed on our sides, with one of my arms underneath him from holding him still. His hand rests on my arm, and he rolls himself onto his back, pulling me onto him.

I lift my head, and rest my chin in his abdomen so I can see him, only to find he's looking right back at me.

My beautiful man lifts his hand and caresses my face, then whispers, "Hi baby."
