' ICE CREAM AND CIGARETTES ' - vinnie hacker

5; i don't know his last name

he must've noticed my mental debate, because he said, "i won't bite, you know that, right? i only do that during sex."

"you have such a way with words, huh?" i spoke in attempt to calm down my blushing as i sat next to him. my attempt miserably failed.

"thanks, peach." he responded, obviously trying to annoy me as he knows i was being sarcastic. unlike mine, his attempt worked.

it wasn't awkward sitting next to him, although we were on seperate ends of the short couch. or at least, it wasn't awkward until i started thinking about what we were doing just 12 hours ago.

then, it quickly became awkward. i think it was just me though, because vinnie seemed thoroughly invested in the cartoon playing on the screen.

"so, uh, do you always make your one night stands breakfast the morning after?"

i have absolutely no idea what i was thinking when i asked that, because bringing up the fact that fucked certainly was not a good way of making it less awkward.

"nah," vinnie shrugged, obviously not phased by the implication, "only you. i just think you're cool."

i snorted, "no, you don't."

he furrowed his eyebrows, looking at me instead of the tv now, "yeah, i do."

i shook my head, "you think i'm a stubborn, stuck-up bitch."

"damn right, i do," he laughed, "but, i also admire how determined and independent are. you don't take shit from me, or anyone else- it's sick. you have a natural drive, and your career is interesting too. plus, you're cute. i dunno, you're just cool."

he thinks i'm cute.

not only that, but he thinks my career is interesting. he thinks i'm cool.

"thank you, vinnie." i gave him a smile, not really knowing what else to say.

he shrugged, trying to play it off, but i could see the tint of blush on his cheeks. "no need to thank me. i'm an honest person, you should know that by now."

"well, if you were an honest person, you'd stop lying to me about your last name..."

"i'm not lying, reese."

"okay, okay, i believe you." i laughed, "my last name is jordan."

he nodded. "huh, reese jordan. makes sense."

i went to open my mouth to reply, but before i could get any words out, i heard a notification come from his phone.

vinnie looked at it and frowned a bit, "fuck, i'm sorry, they need me at work."

"oh! oh, it's fine," i watched as he started getting up.

"i'll wash our plates when i get back, don't worry about that, just uh, lock the door on your way out, okay?" he spoke as he grabbed his keys.

i nodded as i gently bit the inside of my cheek.

"see you around, peach." he pecked my cheek before heading out of the door and closing it behind him.

i stared at the closed apartment door for a while longer with an embarassingly big smile before getting up, grabbing our dishes, and heading towards the sink as i tried my best to ignore the fuzzy feeling in my stomach.

it was a one time thing.
it was a one time thing
it was a one time thing.
fuck, it was a one time thing.
