My Darling, I'm Back (Sequel to 'My Darling, You're Mine')

Chapter 12

The car ride was silent, and too silent. That kiss brought up so many memories and feelings for me that I can't comprehend it. Don't get me wrong, it was an absolutely amazing kiss, but I don't know what to do now. I feel like I'm cheating on myself in a way, because I spent so long trying to forget him and now I'm sitting in his car after kissing him in a lake on a date.

It's funny how things work out.

I ran my fingers quickly through my hair, shivering slightly to the touch. My hair, once warm with the lake's water, now cold after meeting wind. "(F/n)?"

"Hmm?" I hummed in response, fiddling with my hands that now rested in my lap.

"What now?" I bit my lip, turning to face Vic who had now stopped driving. We were back at the hotel, that was obvious.

"I don't know," I confessed, immediately feeling bad for my words when Vic's expression changed. "I just want to take things slow, that doesn't mean I don't want to be with you," I told him softly, grabbing a hold of his hand.

"I just don't want you to give me false hope." Vic told me, taking away his hand that once tested in mine.

"I'd never do that," I almost whispered, keeping my gaze in Vic.

"Can I trust that?"

"Of course," Vic sighed, nodding before unbuckling his seatbelt.

"Let's go inside," he gave me a small smile before closing the door behind him. I followed him inside, walking behind him the entire way. Vic knocked on the door and Mike immediately opened it, raising a brow at our wet hair and change of clothes.

"Thank you so much for watching her Mike, it means a lot." I smiled at Felicity, who was fast asleep in her little makeshift bed.

"No problemo," I chuckled along with Vic and took of my shoes, putting my hair into a messy ponytail. "Are you guys leaving tomorrow?"

"Yea, (f/n) needs to get all settled in." Vic explained, and I simply nodded in agreement while folding over the sheets in the bed.

"You've gotta come visit me some time, both of you," Mike suggested.

"That'd be awesome!" I tried to not let the tension between Vic and I seep into the walls of this hotel room. After Vic said goodbye to Mike, I took my turn hugging him. "See ya!" I called out, letting Vic close the door.

"I'm sorry," Vic murmured, sitting next to me on our shared bed.

"For what?"

"For making things awkward. And for kissing you, I guess." I frowned and looked over to Vic, a frown etched into his perfect features.

"Why would you say sorry for that?" I questioned, scooting closer to him.

"I dunno, I just feel like you regret it I guess." He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck through his long hair.

"Well, I don't. And I never will. I know I said I want to take things slow, but I love you. A lot. And that will never change." Vic flawed a closed fist underneath his chin, his eyes fluttering shut.

"Then why'd you leave me?" My heart dropped. He's right though, so right. I was torturing myself by leaving him and trying to forget him for no reason at all. We could've worked through that, and been okay, but I just went and screwed it all up.

(Vic's P.O.V)
I took (f/n)'s silence as an answer. She has no idea, and neither do I. It was a rough time for the both of us because she was pregnant, she had just lost a job, we needed money, and I was a lying prick. But I haven't lied at all to her since I've seen her, and I suppose that makes me feel better.

She's beautiful right now. She always is, but the way her eyebrows are curved into a frown, the way her bottom lip pokes out just a bit more than her top lip, and her unreadable eyes make her seem so enchanting and mysterious. Hell, a mystery I want to solve and already have.

But I don't know what she's thinking right now, and I probably never will. She's battling with herself, just like I am, about the kiss we shared. And I know it.

I may just be stupid but I'm unbelievably paranoid that she's going to leave me again, and find someone new. I'm so terrified that is going to happen, and I'll never see her nor Felicity, and nor will I be able to withstand that. "You don't have to answer," I broke the silence, it had lingered for too long.

All I know is that I can't screw this up. I want her in my life, I need her in my life and I can use that as a drive. I love her, far to much to let her slip away again.

(Your P.O.V)
Before I could register what was happening, Vic's hands were in the side of my face, his lips incredibly close to mine. "I have to," he whispered, just before planting his lips to mine. The moment our lips met, I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck.

I'm completely drowning in Vic, all of him. I love him too much for it to even be healthy, I don't care how long I've known him. Our lips work together in a slow kiss, my hands never leaving there place where I twirl around his dark hair in my fingers. Vic's arms are around my waist, pulling me close to his chest as we kiss.

It ended quicker than I had hoped, but I still found myself smiling. "I love you," I whispered, keeping my arms around his neck.

"I love you too," Vic whispered back, before continuing. "So much. I know you want to take things slow and I will respect that as much as I can. But please promise you won't leave, and you won't find someone new, or you-" I shut him up my placing a quick kiss on his lips.

"I won't. I just need a bit of time before we get in a relationship again," I explained quietly. All Vic did was kid before laying down, and pulling the blankets over his tan body. I did the same, facing away from him like I usually do. But just before I fell asleep, Vic wrapped an arm tightly around my waist.

And I certainly wasn't complaining.
