Vinnie took my hand and lead me inside the house, he grabbed the towels off the floor and handed one to me

"Thanks" I said with a light smile

I'm unsure of how things will go from here, will we become something? Will this blow over and go back to normal?

I didn't want to think about that right now. I'll take what I can get

"Everything okay? You have been staring at nothing for a while" he said placing a hand on my arm

"Yeah sorry, just thinking" I gave a reassuring smile

He starts rubbing his thumb back and forth on my arm

"I think I'm gonna hop in the shower" I said walked towards the stairs

"Okay, I probably will too" Vinnie said walking behind me

A million questions are flooding my mind as I step into the shower, too occupied with my own thoughts to even realize the water was blistering hot

I continued my shower, lost in thought

He still fucked all those girls

He still ignored me for more than a week

I turned the knob ending my boiling shower, I grab a clean towel from the counter. I caught a glimpse of my arm realizing my skin was pulsing a vibrant red

Fuck me

Drying my skin off with the towel hurt like a bitch, so did getting dressed

I carefully slid a pair of comfy shorts up my legs and pulled a baggy hoodie over my head

I opened my door to head downstairs and found Vinnie leaving his room as well, I'm assuming he is heading the same place as me

"Hi" he smiled

I watched his eyes drift to my legs, concern washed over his face

My legs were still red

"Makayla" he sighed

"I didn't realize how hot my shower was" I tried to defend myself. Technically I was telling the truth, I wasn't aware of the temperature. I genuinely wasn't

He obviously didn't want to pry so he just took my hand and lead me downstairs. He ran ahead and dove onto the bean bag causing me to laugh

He was laying on the bean bag just looking at me for a few seconds as I stood in front of it

I couldn't decide what emotion was painted on his face

"What are you waiting for?" Vinnie asked patting the empty space beside him

I layed down beside him and he put his arm around me pulling me closer, I was resting my head on his chest. He took out his phone and went onto TikTok

We both just watched as he scrolled, occasionally laughing and giggling. We heard cars pull up, I turned my head to him

"Should I get up?" I ask. Do they need to know yet? Should we keep this a secret until something happens?
