CHAPTER NINETEEN

| VINCENT | 19 years old |
| MANHATTAN, NY |

I woke up taking crust out of my eyes looking over my shoulder the time stood out to me. It was 1:34PM. My room was so dam hot due to it already being summertime.

I felt sweaty. I quickly took a look next to me not seeing Amelie beside me.

I heard the water running and I realize she was inside of the shower. I quickly got up grabbing my towel pushing the door open & I stared at her curvy naked body.

"Can I join?" I muttered while biting down on my lips.

"VINNIE! you scared me and yes you can join in" she gasps while watching me strip naked infront of her, I quickly hopped inside of the tub.

"Vinnie I just realize we never had shower sex-" Amelie blurts out while watching me clean off my whole body with soap.

"Yea..I just realize that" I said while turning around letting the water fall on to my hair then down to my face. I ran my hands through my hair making eye contact with Amelie.

I observe her body then her face. My eyes study the gap between her legs. I noticed she had a little birth mark on her thighs.

"Vinnie why are you staring at me?" Amelie grips her towel wrapping it around her body.

"I wasn't staring at you" I clean off my whole body again for 10 minutes then I stepped out grabbing my towel.

"Yes you were....is there something wrong with my body?" Amelie asks me.

"No- baby there is nothing wrong with your body. I love it...dam I can't look at you? Why do you always ask that question?"

"You can...and I'm sorry for asking that question...it's just that your face is kind of weird when you are staring at me." she sat down on my bed.

"Hmm are you okay?" I sat down beside her.

"Yeah I'm fine...." She answers me.

"Why do I feel like your not fine" I said. I just knew something was wrong with her. Even though she said it's not. I feel so sorry for her & it was hurting me.

I don't want to leave her behind for college but football is my dream...but I will drop it for her..she knew that.

"I'm fine Vincent okay" Amelie frowns at me.

I shook my head at her putting on my last clothing. I watch her put on a huge shirt over her chubby body then her biker shorts.

...

I parked my car in-front of her parents building. I stepped out of my car making sure it was park right. I held Amelie hands walking her to her apartment.

I was going to make sure she told Zarahi and Shasta what her step brother did to her. I don't care if she didn't want to tell them what happened.

"I can do this on my own Vinnie" she pouts stubbornly.

"No that's not going to work on me today Amelie" I said seriously to her. Amelie mental health was important to me and I don't care if she gets angry or sad at me.
