(Gabrielle's POV)
"Vin!" Mr. Castronovo came walking over to where me and Vin were sitting. "Yes Pops?" He smiled. "Can you run home and get Mama her purse? She forgot it." He chuckled, making me smile, Mr. Castronovo and Vinny looked exactly alike. "Yeah of course! Let's go Gab!" Vinny said. I smiled, and got up, following Vinny out and towards his house. About halfway through the walk, I started to feel my feet hurt. "Ow." I laughed, stumbling to a stop. "Is everything okay?" Vinny asked, his hand finding the small of my back. I nodded, and slipped the wedges off my feet, making me return to my short height. "Gab, you're going to tear up your feet on this ground. Let me carry you." Vinny laughed, leaning down so I could hop on his back. "Are you sure?" I asked, hesitant because I didn't want to break him. "Positive." He smiled. I hopped on his back, my wedges dangling from his hands. We finally made it to his house, I hopped down from his back and ran through the grass to the front door. He smiled, and unlocked the door, both of us walking in. "Hey Gab can you go grab the purse? I've gotta do something." "Sure!" I smiled, and ran upstairs. I searched the room and finally found the purse, slipping it on to my shoulder, and walking downstairs. "Vinny?" "Out here!" He called. I walked to their backyard, only to see Vinny in their gazebo, sitting on the swing, a rose in his hand. "Come sit with me." I did, and smiled at him. "What are we doing?" He smiled, and looked down at me. "Just relaxing... Oh by the way, this is for you." He handed me the rose, and smiled. "Thank you!" I laughed, twirling the rose. "So, Gab..." "So Vin..." I smiled. "These past few weeks I've spent with you have been great..." He started, and I already knew where this was going. "I really like you, Gab. And I feel like we click so well together... I want to be with you... You're everything I've ever wanted in a girl..." "Vinny, we're really good friends and I like you kinda too but I feel like us being together would start so much drama and I don't know I'm still not over Nick and what he did and think about how this would affect him and our friends an-" before I could finish, his lips found mine. He caressed my cheek, our lips moving in sync. He smiled against my lips, making me smile. We disconnected soon after, my head cloudy. "Continue." He smiled, taking my hand in his. I sat there shaking my head in bliss, the whole place silent. And then he came barging toward us. I stood up, surprised. "Nick....."
