⌑ Eternally yours/ Vinny M X OC/ ⌑ Complete

Chapter Twenty-Six

I watched Valerie from the wings, but I continued to feel nauseous as the night went on.

I had already taken the medicine she had given me, but I think I just needed to sleep.
No.
I think I need to curl up beside Valerie and just cuddle with her. I know that if I'm in her presence, I will feel better.

But my mind kept going back to what she keeps wanting to tell me, but every time she gets cut off.

It's sort of like I've been blessed with sickness each time she's had to play, which feeds into my lie, but she's been cursed with being ignored and interrupted.

I'll have to ask her; she did say it was important. It seemed pretty urgent as well. I hope it isn't anything bad...

I applauded and wooed as they played the final song, clapping my hands and broadly smiling at Valerie as they finished playing 'London in Terror'

Valerie ran off stage and straight into my arms. Her black hair seemed to float around her, and her eyes sparkled with joy.

I will never get used to how gorgeous this sight is.

"You were amazing as usual! Putting that amazing talent of yours to good use" I laughed, spinning us around as she continued to nuzzle into my chest, I felt her smile.

"Are you feeling okay?" She asked in a concerned manner, looking up at me through her fringe. I laughed since she had to take off her platforms. I had the height advantage again and kissed her forehead.

"Better now that you're here" I smiled, and took her hand in mine and kissed it. "Anyways, what did you want to talk about?"

"Woah there, mister, I don't care how much of an effect I have on you; you are still unwell. Let's go back to the hotel, clean you up, and get you to bed. Your health is more important," she insisted, pulling me towards the exit, but Ricky came running.

"Hey, are you guys oka-"

"Not now, Rick! Vin is sick and I am going to take care of him" she shushed him, and continued pulling me away

I'm not complaining!

▪️3rd person point of view▪️

"Chris, she is a good person! She is so persistent about taking care of Vinny that she practically dragged him back to the hotel!" Ricky sighed, shaking his head. "Can we just not blackmail her? I promise you she won't betray Vin."

"Ugh, fine, Rick. But if he gets hurt, I'm blaming it on you." Chris sighed, rubbing his temple.

"Fine by me. Delete that photo in case Vin finds it; that'll ruin him," Ricky added before leaving the room.

"Rick wait! I've got an idea on how to keep Valerie here."

"What are you thinking?" Rick asked, turning around on the spot and sitting back down.
and they started discussing the plan.

"Here Vin, I got you a hot chocolate and some peppermint gum" Valerie sighed, sitting on the side of the bed beside Vinny.

"Thanks, Val, but this isn't necessary! I just want to cuddle with you and go to sleep. Then I should be fine in the morning." Vin groaned into his pillow, but turned and slightly smiled at her.

She looked at him, unimpressed.

"Babe, I have no clue what world you are living in, but sorry to disappoint but I don't have magical healing powers that can make you better just by hugging me" she laughed, and passing Vinny his drink

"Such a shame. If only we were living in a world where I could be sick all the time and we could just cuddle to heal me all the time," he sighed with a smirk on his face.
