𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝑹𝒊𝒃𝒃𝒐𝒏 - Chapter Eighteen

❂ ❂ ❂

Morning came as the sun shone through the car's slightly dirtied window. A large, calloused hand gently caressed your face, as your eyes slowly began to drift open, the light slightly blinding you.

"Good morning Dollface." A deep voice spoke softly in your ear, as you let out a groan. "Come on, it's time to get up."

You ignored Vance, keeping your tired eyes closed as your back slightly ached from the position you had slept in.

"Dollface..." Vance repeated again but this time a bit louder.

"No..." You whined, slightly pulling yourself away from Vance's arms. Vance huffed before pulling you closer to his chest.

"Come on, wake up Dollface." Vance repeated, now peppering kisses all over your face. You let out another groan, but felt a smile tug at your slightly cold, chapped lips.

"Alright, you asked for it." Vance spoke shortly in a playful manner.

Curious by what Vance meant by that, you let out a small screech as Vance opened the car door, dragging you out along with him. He held you in bridal style, throwing you into the front passengers seat.

He slammed your door shut before jogging to his side, hopping in the drivers seat with a smirk. "Vance what the hell?" You laughed. Vance simply shrugged.

"You weren't getting up so..."

You rolled your eyes, slightly shaking your head before looking out the window. Vance began driving, his focused face placed over his feminine features.

"So where are we headed, dollface?" At Vance's question, you felt the blood drain out of your face at the thought of your dad.

"Um, home." You gave Vance your address, to which he memorized. After several minutes, you felt a warm hand place itself onto your thigh. You felt your face heat up as you quickly turned towards Vance with a flustered face.

His face placed a smirk on his pink lips, as he gently squeezed your thigh as you let out a surprise squeak. He laughed as you felt your face heat up from embarrassment.

"And here we are..." Vance spoke, parking in front of your house. You sent Vance a thankful smile. You hop out of the car, walking in the direction of your gravel path.

"Wait dollface!" You spun around to see Vance exit his car, jogging over to you. He gently placed his hands on your waist, pulling you close to his chest.

He buried his head into your neck, his breath tickling your skin. "When will I see you again?" He asked in a low voice, pulling away.

"We will just have to see." You flirtatiously smile at him, causing him to smirk before swooping down upon you. He pulled you closer to him, his soft lips roughly kissing yours.

You roll your eyes but kissed back. After a few moments, he pulled away. "Anyways it was great seeing you, Y/n." Vance spoke softly, giving you a cute smile.

You smiled. "Yeah, it was great seeing you too." Vance pulled away and jogged back to his car. You called out to him.

"You're getting too comfortable kissing me, Vance Hopper." You joked, earning a playful eye roll from him.

"Yeah, yeah. But just know you are damn mine." That was the last thing Vance said before speeding away in his car.

You scoff before walking towards your front door, as dread slowly began to eat away at you from the inside. Gulping, you open the door.

Immediately once the door was wide open, you were pulled into a bone crushing hug. "Where the hell were you?!" Your dad cried out, still holding you in a tight hug.

You felt tears well up in your eyes as you hugged back. "I'm sorry dad."

Your dad sniffled. "Just don't do that again, I can't imagine something terrible happening to you."

You nodded, tears dribbling down your cheeks. "I promise."

-TimeSkip-

You were sitting on the couch in the living room by yourself, since your dad was at work. Your television was on, as you sat on the couch, snacking on Reese's.

Suddenly, you hear a small plop hit against your door, catching your attention. Raising a brow, you pause the television before getting up and heading towards your door.

You opened it to be met with a cold breeze. Confused on why nothing was in front of you, you look down to see a newspaper wrapped in F/c ribbon. Curious, you bent down and picked up the slightly crumpled newspaper

A small note was attached to it, with small scribbled of writing placed on the white paper. Your eyes scanned the note.

You felt a smile place itself on your lips as you heard a bicycle bell ring. Looking up, you see Billy peddle by your house, excitedly waving at you.

Attached to his bike by a leash was a Golden Retriever. You waved to Billy.

"Morning Princess!" Billy called out to you, continuing to pedal.

"Morning Billy!" You called back, smiling as you watch Billy slowly disappear from sight. You gently closed you door, clutching the newspaper to your chest.

A big smile still remained on your lips as the F/c ribbon gently rubbed against your skin.
