"Today was a good first day of vacation after all." Max looks at Jack, Vinnie and you happily. You're on your way to the hotel after spending all day at the beach today.
"Tomorrow we're not just going to lie around and sunbathe. We need to get in the water a lot more." Jack looks at you reproachfully.
"Sorry. I need my tan. You guys could have gone in the water."
"But Vinnie won't go in it without you." And with a playfully disgusted look he adds: "And I don't want to go in the water alone with Max. He's weird." Max sprints toward Jack. Jack runs forward.
Vinnie and you laugh. His hand is intertwined with yours. A group of boys your age pass by. You notice them staring at you. You're wearing sweatpants and your bikini top.
Vinnie notices that you are uncomfortable and pulls you even closer to him. To show that you belong to him and they have no chance with you.
He lets go of your hand and puts it on your hip instead. When the boys are finally over, Vinnie leans in a bit and gives you a kiss on the temple.
Jack and Max come back from their light sprint. Out of breath, Max asks: "Why were they staring at you like that? Couldn't keep your hands off each other again?" He's referring to an incident where you were in the kitchen and thought you were alone. It got a little out of hand and Max caught you doing it. You blush slightly at the memory.
With a reproachful look at Max, Vinnie replies: "No Max. They were staring at Y/N. Even though I was right next to her. You can tell I'm her boyfriend!"
There is a short pause. Then he continues. "Exactly for the reason I do not leave Y/N alone on the beach. There come only strange dudes and want something from her!"
To calm him down a bit, you lift his hand to your mouth and give him a kiss on the knuckles.
"Everything is fine. They were just staring at me, not touching me."
Vinnie shakes his head. "But this does not work. I know you're absolutely hot and irresistible, but only I have the right to stare at you like that!"
"That's why you're always with me. So don't worry."
Vinnie's annoyed look turns into a wicked smile. "Next time we'll make out like we did in the kitchen when Max caught us. Then they'll see you're mine."
You get a little redder in the face.
"Stop it." You say and lightly slap Vinnie's arm.
"I never will, and you know it." Vinnie looks at you teasingly.
Back at the hotel, you go straight to your apartment. The four of you share it.
"Guys, I'm going to take a shower first." You say and start walking towards the bathroom when a hand wraps around your wrist and makes you stop. You turn your head in the direction of the person.
Vinnie is standing in front of you with wide eyes. His look with which he always tries to persuade you to do something.
"Can I join you in the shower?" You lightly shake your hand that Vinnie is holding tightly and put it on his cheek. You come a little closer to him.
Vinnie thinks you want to kiss him, so he lowers his head to you.
"Not today, darling. Not today." You say, lightly pat his cheek and turn around.
"But next time." You say before closing the bathroom door. "Promise?" Vinnie asks, having gained new hope.
"I promise."
--------------------------------
You leave the bathroom wearing a too-big tshirt from Vinnie and tight gym shorts.
Max, Jack and Vinnie are lying on the couch. They are watching some movie.
"Babe come here. I need your hug." "I'll be right there. I just need to put my clothes away."
"I can't wait that long." Says Vinnie jumping up and sprinting over the back of the couch towards you. Before you can even realize it, you feel Vinnie's arms wrap around you and he presses you against his chest. Way too hard.
"Finally." He says and makes a noise as if all the weight that has been on him so far is falling off him.
"I can't breathe." You just manage to get out. Vinnie immediately loosens his embrace and apologizes to you. One of your hands rests on Vinnie's back and the other on his hip.
As you stand with your back towards the couch, you only hear something moving quickly towards you.
"Vinnie! What are those two doing? What's happeni...?" You can't finish your sentence because someone slams into you with full force and wraps his arms around you. The impact pushes you forward against Vinnie's chest.
With an "Ouch" you try to turn your head back as far as it will go. You can just make out that Max is standing behind you and Jack behind him. Their arms are wrapped around the person in front of them.
"Yeah Y/N we missed you sooooo much." Says Max and nestles his cheek against the back of your head. "So much." Jack agrees with him.
"I thought I was your one big love Max." Vinnie looks playfully sad.
"You're my princess, too." Max says lovingly and puts his hand on Vinnie's cheek. Vinnie does the same.
You stand between the two and have to look up because they are so tall. Max and Vinnie suggest kissing.
A big grin creeps onto your face. You love spending time with your friends.
Just before they would kiss each other, Vinnie abruptly changes his direction and gives you a loving short kiss.
"I love you Vinnie."
"I love you too Y/N."
"Yeah, we love you too." Parrot Jack and Max.
Max is still hanging on: "I'll still get my kiss, though."
