Chapter 8
I woke up early the next morning and got dressed. I forgot to grab keys from Rocky last night so I had to ask Taylor for her spare car. She gave me her keys hesitantly. She was just worried about me. I walked into the kitchen to grab something quick. I needed the energy today, It was gonna be a long day and I was starting it the worse way possible. Rampaging through the pantry I found some protein bars. That will do for now I thought. I’ll get some coffee and maybe a sandwich on the way. I turned around and was hit by a wall.
“Fuck” I said rubbing my forehead. I didn’t remember there being a wall there. I looked up and it was Vince.
“Good morning. You’re up early” he said.
“Yeah. Thanks for waking me up more. When did you become so muscular?” I asked him still rubbing my head. I walked around him and grabbed a glass of water. I leaned on the kitchen counter.
He chuckled “Rosy I’ve always had muscles. You’ve just never noticed this closely before” he replied and stood next to me leaning forward. His arm was touching mine and he was very close.
“So why are you up so early?” He asked not taking his eyes off me.
I cleared my throat “I have some errands I gotta run today before the funeral. I thought while I was here I would get them done instead of having to come back later in the month”
“Wait you come to Greenwoods often?” He asked a little surprised.
“Hmph” was all I said while drinking my water. “Once a month actually”
“Then why don’t you come to visit?”
Shit! “Oh well I come in the morning and I’m gone by midday so don’t really have time for visits.” I turned away from him. Fuxk I was telling him way more than he needed to know.
“You can at least have a cup of coffee and say hi” he sounded a little sad.
“Vince it’s not that I don’t want to, but I really don’t get time. I take a half–day from work, make the drive, do what I need too and go back to work. I’m sorry if that upsets you” I replied and kept my distance.
“Not upset just sad that you don’t even say hi. Why do you come anyway?”
Yeah, now I was really in trouble. Think Rosy think!
“Bank“.. bank what? “My mum has a bank account here. Every month I deposit some money into her account for her expenses and stuff. I have to come down personally to do it.” Okay that wasn’t a total lie I thought.
“Why though? Can’t you like do an online transfer?” He looked confused.
“Vince it’s complicated. Look I gotta go. I’ll see you later okay” I put my glass in the sink and turned to walk out. He was asking way too many questions and I didn’t wanna answer anymore. He grabbed my arm as I turned and pulled me. I landed on his chest. He was holding my wrist with one hand and wrapped another around my waist so I was right up against him.
“Why do you keep running away as I’ll eat you?” He asked. His face was so close.

“… I’m not running” was all I managed.
“It’s really nice to see you again Rosy. You look even better every time I see you” his nose was touching mine now. “Just say yes to one date. Just one and I promise I’ll leave you alone”
I chuckled “you really think you’ll let me off with just one date? You wouldn’t wanna get married after that?”
He laughed and the vibration from his laugh coursed through me.
What the hell was happening?! I’ve been this close to Vince before and he tried this many times but why now was this all affecting me all of a sudden. My hormones were just screaming to me to let someone take my pants off!
