Switch Up//Vinnie Hacker

5.

Vinnie looks back at me and smirks.

"What?" I ask returning the smile.

"Wait here." He says as he runs around the corner, disappearing from my sight.

I chuckle and lean against the wall as i wait for Vinnie to come back.

********

A couple of minutes later Vinnie peaks his head around the corner, making me laugh.

"It's ready." He says.

"What is?" I ask as I follow Vinnie into the living room.

As I walk closer to the couch I see a blanket laid on the floor, in front of a lit fire place. Pillows were strategically placed and matched with fuzzy blankets.

"Ta da." He sings shaking his hands.

I giggle and walk over to him. As I pass him my hand purposely brushes against his. I look back to see his reaction. He quickly grabs my hand and pulls me back, grabbing my waist with his other hand.

A lump begins to form in my stomach as the eye contact grows stronger.

"Soo uh, we having a staring contest?" I say trying my best to keep a straight face.

Vinnie bursts out laughing and let's go of my waist. I laugh too and follow Vinnie to the blanket. We sit down and he hands me a mug with hot chocolate in it. I thank him a take a sip before setting it on the table behind us. Vinnie clicks on a Christmas movie and turns back to me.

"So tell me about yourself."

"Like what?" I ask taking a sip of my hot chocolate again.

"I don't know. Anything."

"Uhhh i have no idea." I giggle setting my hot chocolate back on the table. "You go first."

"Okay, um," Vinnie adjusts his body more toward me. "My full name is Vincent Hacker. I was born and raised in Washington till i was 15, when me and my family moved out here. I have lived here for two years and decided to move out that year."

Wait. He moved out here when he was 15 and has lived here for 2 years... that makes him..... SEVENTEEN. Omg please tell me i did not just make out with a 17 year old. Me, a NINETEEN year old, just made out with a SEVENTEEN year old. I'm so fucked.

Without realizing it, i let out a laugh. Vinnie looks up from the sheet that he laid on the floor and furrows his eyebrows.

"Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry." I say through my giggles.

"Is everything okay?" He asks, clearly confused.

"You moved out here when you were 15 and you have lived here for two years, correct?"

"Yeah?"

"That makes youuu-"

Vinnie cuts me off and finish my sentence. "17 years old, yeah what about it?"

I begin to laugh again and lay on my back.

"What's so funny?" He says with a slight laugh.

"I'm 19 and we nearly hooked up." I say setting my hands on my face still laughing.

"Oh shit." Vinnie laughs.

********

My eye lids flutter open and i roll over onto my back. I furrow my brows confused as to where i am.
