Moving In - A Vinnie Hacker Story

Moving In S2Pt16 - Mover Boy

V: So, the boxes are because you might have to move out?
Y/n: Yea.
V: Like into a dorm or...
Y/n: Well, there are no girl sophmore dorms left. I would have to move in with someone from another grade. I don't really mind that, but I'll probably have to move in with a guy.
V: What?
Y/n: Vin, calm down. We don't know if that's what's gonna happen yet.
V: Well, I trust you. But, do you have any idea who you might have to move in with?
Y/n: You remember my friend Ashton?
V: Him?
Y/n: He has a girlfriend, Vin. It would be okay.

He was doing a good job with being calm. I could tell that the idea of me living with another guy did not sit well with him. But, he understood the situation. He didn't want to upset me and I appreciated that.

Then, out of nowhere, he stood up. He started pacing a little bit. I got scared that he was gonna say something bad. It seemed like he was really trying to stop himself. This can't be good.

V: I need to make a call. Give me one sec.
Y/n: What? No, Vin. Can you stay here, please?
V: I'll just be right outside. Give me a sec.
Y/n: Vin!
V: Hold on!

What the fuck? I'm just trying to tell him what's going on and he's running away. Who in the world could he possibly be calling? I need him right now and he's running.

He was outside for twenty minutes. I thought he actually left. I heard him talking quietly, though. I couldn't make out the words. I wanted to barge out there and yell at him, but I had no energy to fight anymore.

He came back inside with a nervous smile on his face. If looks could kill, he would most certainly be dead by now. I was furious.

V: Babe, don't be mad. That was important.
Y/n: Yea, ok.
V: Hey, please. I'm about to tel-
Y/n: Tell me what? Why you ran out of my room the second I told you something that would be life changing for me. Just because you're not happy that I might move in with Ashton, doesn't mean that you just run away.
V: I didn't run away. I stepped outside.
Y/n: *scoffs* I can't with you.

He looked disappointed in himself. Good. He should be. I didn't have to tell him shit about what was going on. I should've eventually, but I didn't have to. For him to just walk out on me for twenty minutes without any word except that he was calling someone did not feel good.

V: Y/n, I should've told you who I was calling. I shouldn't've just left you, but I called my manager.
Y/n: Why?
V: A few reasons. First, I had a meeting today. Well, right now, actually. I told her I had to miss it. Second, she could tell that something was wrong. Earlier today, she was at the house when I was trying to contact you. She encouraged me to come over. You know how much she loves you.
Y/n: Did you tell her?

I kinda hope that he didn't tell her. I know she means no harm and wouldn't go advertising it to the world, but I didn't even want to tell Vinnie yet. I wasn't ready for anyone else to know what was going on with me.

V: Well, we had this crazy idea.
Y/n: What is it?
V: Well, she basically thought that you were living at my place anyway because of how much you're there and you always spend the night. So, I- um, asked if you could move into my room with me until this whole thing blows over. She loved the idea. Now, I just have to find out if you would even want to move in with me.
Y/n: Move in with you?
V: Precisely.
Y/n: Isn't that a really big step in a relationship? What if we get tired of each other? Or we start fighting a lot? Or having too much sex?
V: Well, I don't ever think we could have too much sex.
Y/n: Vinnie, I'm serious!
V: I am, too.

He always does shit like this! I guess I do it too, though. Whenever a big question is asked or we get uncomfortable, we start making untimely jokes. Today was a great example of that.

V: Well, you'll be at school a lot and if you're not, you're doing homework. Then, at night, you're all mine. It will be normal, except you don't go back to your apartment.
Y/n: I guess.
V: Think about it like this: you already have clothes here, it's not like it'll just me me and you, everyone here knows you and loves you, you already have textbooks on my desk, and you sleep over all the time. I know it will be hard to not have your own space, but if you ever need space, just tell me. You also have your car. You could go for a drive.
Y/n: You've really thought this through.
V: Why do you think I was on the phone for so long?
Y/n: About that... next time just tell me you're calling your manager. I'll understand.
V: Yea, you're right.
Y/n: I know I am.

He was looking at me like a puppy begging for a treat. I don't even think he realized he was doing it. The offer was really tempting, but it was scary. I get tired of people so easily and I often need space. I don't know how I could live in a house with ten+ people. I didn't join a sorority for a reason. I got an apartment off-campus for a fucking reason.

Ashton and I already talked a bit and we have completely different schedules. We would rarely be in at the same time. I have day classes and he has night classes. His girlfriend comes over, I go to Vinnie's. He doesn't trash the place or throw parties in his room. It's perfect. We would have time to ourselves.

But, now I feel like I'm in fucking After or some shit and I have to move in with my boyfriend because I have no money. But, it's not just my boyfriend. It's my boyfriend and all of his friends. If we ever get in a fight, where am I gonna go? Flying back to New York would kind of defeat the whole purpose of saving money. I guess I could go see David, but I haven't talked to him in a while. Would he feel like I was using him if I only wanted to see him when I had nowhere else to go?

Y/n: I love you. Thank you so much for offering, but I have to think about it first. I don't want to rush into anything and fuck up what we have right now. We spent so much time rebuilding it, I don't want us to regret this.
V: I get it. But, would you really rather live with Ashton?
Y/n: We worked it out and we would barely ever see each other.
V: I was joking. I don't really care. I just want you here with me. But, I'll give you time to think about it.

I loved that he wasn't pushing me. He sat back on the bed next to me. I pulled him on top of me. It wasn't sexual, it was comfortable. He cuddled me while laying down and just held me. I felt so relaxed. I felt... at home.

Fuck. This is scary. I don't like to feel dependent or to feel like a burden to anyone. I know he's the one offering and he's really excited about it, but part of me is apprehensive.

He can feel like home to me, but that doesn't mean that I have to live in his home. But, do I have any better solutions? Is living with Ashton a better solution? Was this all too good to be true?

But, right now, all those thoughts vanished from my mind. I closed my eyes as I cuddled my back into Vinnie's stomach.

It's kind of sad that all of this reminds me of when we were broken up. It was miserable. I never felt so alone. Staying up all night in my bed, overthinking everything that could possibly be wrong with me to make him cheat. Right now, I was thinking less about the cheating and more about how isolated and depressed I was without him. In such a short period of time, he changed my life.

I wasn't the quiet girl, but I occasionally needed space. Sometimes needing space can mean ghosting someone for days or weeks or maybe even months. It's not necessarily intentional, it's just how I escaped. How will I be able to do that if I live in his room?

V: I can almost see the gears in your head turning. What's wrong? Is it my offer? You can take your time.
Y/n: I know. I'm just thinking about it.
V: Well, what if I told you a little something to help you decide?
Y/n: Which is?...
V: If you say yes, I'll be your mover boy again.
Y/n: You should've started with that!! I'm down.
V: Really??
Y/n: Yes, but under one condition.
V: What's that?
Y/n: Take me on the desk one last time, Mr Mover Boy.
