HATE YOU THE MOST || VINNIE HACKER

PART TWELVE

The closer Vinnie and I got the more I felt like I needed it. I needed him. The space between us was nearly invisible. He stayed holding himself up on his two arms right next to my head.

"Vinnie!" Someone upstairs yells breaking the tension between us, "Fuck." He mutters under his breath and gets up sticking out his hand helping me up. We were so close, why did Reggie have to ruin it. I felt frozen when I got up. Vinnie walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs, not a single word was said to me. Did he even want to do it? Was it just some sort of mind game?

I walked up the stairs in defeat. I've never felt this way towards Vinnie and it had to be interrupted. I collapse into my bed and lay my face into the pillow. My phone starts ringing and I see Alayas picture pop up. "Hello?" I answer the phone, "Hey I was just calling to make sure you got home safe, I haven't heard from you since you were at the restaurant." She says as I sit up. "I'm good, I was just with Vinnie." I reply and a loud gasp comes from her side, "So y'all are finally getting along?" She smiles happily, "I guess so, we watched a movie together when we got home." I say, "Oh and we almost kissed." I put my palm in my hand. "Leilani what? Since when? And why almost, why didn't y'all actually kiss?" She questions, "We were both high and we fell and he was on top of me and he almost kissed me until Reggie called for him." I let out a long breath after I finished ranting.

"Why didn't you just kiss him?" She asks, "It was like I was stuck in place, I was just waiting for him!" I groan into my pillow, "Don't wait for him, you do it!" She suggests and I rub my forehead with my hand, "It's not that easy, what if he doesn't want me to? What if it was just like a heat of the moment thing?" I frown. "Why wouldn't he want to? Look at you!" She reassures me. We talk more about our days and feels like only a few hours turns into the entire night. By the time we end the facetime it's almost two in the morning and I'm exhausted.

I decide to just go to sleep and talk to Vinnie about everything when I wake up.

*Vinnie's POV*

I stayed awake the entire night thinking about Leilani. She was permanently stuck into my mind. I would have kissed if I wasn't scared of hurting her. I don't want to be the person to do that to her, I want to prevent it from happening. If I have to act like nothing happened to protect her I'm fine with it, as much as I hate it.

As much as I would like to at least be friends with her, I couldn't. The more time I'm with her I want her more and that's the problem, I can't want her.
