He leaned down and kissed me. He ksised me so passionately and tenderly. I never want to let him go. Until he broke the kiss and took my face in his hands. His eyes locked to mine. "I knew that i was falling in love, but now I know that I am in love. You're perfect. I love you, Lauren."

Tears began to immediately fall from my eyes. Vince just told me he LOVES me. I looked up at him and kissed him with just as much passion as he had kissed me a few seconds ago. I broke our kiss and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. "I love you too," I whispered.

He then smiled a smile that was so memorabel, so big. It was so beautiful, He put his arms around my waist and lifted me up and spun me around. He stopped spinning and I wrapped my legs around his waist and looked down into his eyes. "You have no idea how happy this makes me," he said.

"Oh, I think I do," I said as I leaned down and kissed him again.

That night Vince and I sat up talking for hours. We ordered food from room service and ate while we talked. We talked about anything and everything, and I honestly believed I loved him even more than I did before... If that was even possible. We shared laughs and smiles.

When it was time to go to bed, we snuggled very close. Right before I fell asleep, the last thing I heard in my ear was, "I am so glad that my love loves me back." He kissed my head and we both fell asleep with more happiness in our hearts than we had ever had.

The next morning we decided to explore New York since we didn't do it the day before. We are breakfast in our room and then we were off.

We were walking down a street going into the direction of a jewelry store and Vince had his arm wrapped around my waist. "Love, anything you want today, I'll buy you. All you have to do is say so," he said while winking at me.

"Vince, I'm not here for you to buy anything. I'm here to spend time with my wonderful boyfriend," I said while standing on my tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek. He looked so good. He was wearing a white button up with dark colored jeans. There were a few buttons unbuttoned at the top of his shirt, so it was very easy to see his chest and muscles.

He caught me staring at him and he grinned at me. "Take a picture. It'll last longer," he smirked.

"I think I will," I said as I pulled out my phone. We were stopping in front of the store and I pulled him close to me so I could see our faces in the front camera. I snapped the picture. Vince looked so good. He actually smiled in the picture. Most guys don't smile. But Vince isn't like most guys.

He then walked over to the door and grinned at me gesturing me to come over. I couldn't resist. I snapped a picture just as he was grinning at me. He looked so cute. I made a mental note to apply the picture as my lock screen.

"Why thank you kind sir," I said as I walked through the door Vince was holding for me.

"Anything for my lady," he said as he brought my hand to his lips.

"Newlyweds!" A guy wearing a black suit said as we walked into the store.

"Oh um we're not married," I told him.

The man looked at me with a smirk and said,"Not yet anyway."

I looked up at Vince and he was actually blushing. He looked down at me and smiled and I knew if I wasn't blushing before, I sure as hell was then.

"I love you," he said to me. "And I love it when you blush," he added while giving me a wink and taking my hand.

We looked at bracelets, watches, rings, ear rings, and necklaces. When we were at the rings I didn't say out loud which ones I liked because I didn't want Vince to think I was implying anything. But there was one that was absolutely breathtaking. I studied that ring the longest out of them all.
