my brother's roommate

OLIVIA POV
I leave the hospital room wondering what in the world I'm supposed to say to Vinnie. I can either make it lighthearted or into a big drama. I don't think either of us can handle drama right now though.
I spot Vinnie standing next to the vending machine and tap on his shoulder.
"Sooo.."
"Listen Liv I'm So-"
"Forget about it Vinnie. A little birdie told me someone's in love though" I say coughing.
Vinnie's face instantly grows into an embarrassed look and he puts his head down.
"Fuck Dan. I'm gonna kill that bastard"
"Don't worry about it. He probably just said it because he knew that's the only way I'll actually talk to you."
"I can explain why I did it. And I know that's still going to be no excuse but I do, I really do like if not love you." Vinnie says.
"Vin can we talk about it tomorrow? I want the truth though mister"
"You called me Vin" Vinnie says with a soft smile
"I missed it" I say with a blush

THE NEXT MORNING
I wake up in vinnie's bed by a knock at the door. I open the door not realising that I'm only in a bra and pantie.

VINNIE POV
I stare at Liv and she gives me a confused look.
"OH I DIDNT REALISE" she yells frantically
I laugh and close the door
"Call me when you're done"
I wait for Liv to open the door.
"You can come in now"
I walk into the room and see Liv fully clothed now.
"So, you wanna talk about it?"
"Yep. Why'd you do it"
"Okay before you say something, let me finish. It was a stupid dare. And I couldn't say no because there were paparazzi recording us. And if I said no, they would either attack you and try and cancel you just for dating me or they would cancel me because I rejected a girl and hUrT her. And I know you didn't want our relationship public because paparazzi and social media overwhelms you. I know this is still not a good enough explanation but it is the truth and I'm sorry for hurting you but I really didn't mean to. I thought I was protecting you but I didn't realise the consequences. And I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to end your last day on a bad note which is dumb because I did and"
"Vin. Vin. Vin. Calm down. You're rambling. It's okay. I get where you're coming from and honestly thank you. If I got even the slightest of hate by being in a relationship with someone I love, that would destroy me"
My eyes are wide open. Did she just say love?
"Liv? Did you just"
"Uh what did I? OH. Uh. Maybe."
I pull her into a kiss and we hear Dan hooting.

"My best friend and my sister!" Dan says in the Ross voice when Ross from friends found out Monica and Chandler were together.
All of us laugh and pull into a hug
"Seriously, please don't do anything stupid. I can't see you guys being in your worst states again." Dan says and Liv and I look at each other at smile.
