The way he touched her.. the way he responded to her points of pleasure. It was like a second nature. He could read her like a book, he knew exactly how to hold her, what pace to go at, what was too much and what was too little.

Bunny felt as though her brain had gone to mush. She was so indulged in Vinnie, she really couldn't justify pulling away or stopping.

She made subtle movements, little urges to push Vinnie onto his back. He moved gently so to not break their kiss, and she effortlessly stretched a leg over him so to straddle his torso. Their movements were so fluid, their skin slid together like cold silk.

This new position was really starting to set in stone what was actually happening right now.

Being above him. Bending her back to meet his face. It sort of drew a spotlight onto what was currently going on. She of course was aware that she was kissing Vinnie, and quite passionately as well, but not until now had that reality spread to every part of her brain. Because now that pure excitement in her stomach was starting to shy away, and convert into panic.

She pulled back, quite obviously as well. 

Vinnie was so taken off guard that it took a couple seconds to even comprehend that Bunny's lips had even left his. But once he had realised, he almost instantly knew he was an idiot for thinking it could have been so simple.

"Vinnie.. I" She started as Vinnie let a long sigh pass his lips.

"It's okay." 

It hurt Bunny to know that she didn't even have to tell him what was wrong, she already got the impression that he had previously assumed she would back out at some point. She felt bad.

"We can move past this." He uttered as she carefully removed herself from him.

"I don't think I want to move past it though."

He leaned back for a moment, "you don't?"

She reassessed her words before speaking them. "Not now, no."

He almost laughed to himself, "not now.." 

His tone was speaking for itself. She knew he didn't want to entertain anything until he knew for sure that something was going to come of it.

"Look, how about we just get some sleep, go along as we normally would tomorrow. We're just not ready, or, you're not anyway. And that's okay."

She felt guilt course through her. He definitely wasn't trying to start some sort of argument or stigma, if he was then he would start questioning why she even kissed him in the first place. Right now he was just trying to remove himself from a vulnerable state where Bunny (intentionally or not) had the opportunity to hurt him.

She bit her lip, watching as Vinnie turned to face the other way.

They didn't speak again that night. He wasn't angry, and she knew that, he was just worried that the one girl he's only ever managed to properly love wouldn't be the person to pursue a functioning relationship with. That didn't have to be a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, just anything more than what they previously were.

The morning after was quite simple. They had both woken up, Vinnie sat on his phone for a little while whilst Bunny awkwardly lay next to him, wandering what on earth she should say, or if she should even say anything at all.

There was definitely this stiff sort of feeling in her chest. A part of her was thankful that she stopped when she did, but another part wished she had just kept going. Whatever would have happened anyway, Vinnie left in the same way he usually would a morning after staying at Bunny's- lay in bed for a bit, get up and stretch, casually say goodbye, have a small chat with Marcie downstairs.
