Chapter 24
The sound of my alarm going off woke me up. I hit the snooze button and stretched. I sat up and rubbed my face.
How did I get in bed?
Memories of last night came back, and my make–out session with Vince played like a music video. But how did I get in bed? I remember we were watching
the last episode, and I must have fallen asleep. So did Vince bring me to bed? That was so sweet of him!
I climbed out of bed and walked into the living area. Vince was stretched out on the couch, fast asleep. He looked adorable sleeping. I stood there staring at him when behind me, someone cleared their throat. Rocky was leaning against a wall drinking coffee. He was already dressed for the day in his
overalls. Rocky smirked at me and raised his eyebrow.
“Something you want to share with the class?” He asked softly. I shook my head and darted back into my room. Behind me, Rocky chuckled.
I quickly had my shower and got dressed. It was 7 am, and I had to get a move if I didn’t want to miss my bus. Quickly grabbing a jacket and my bag, I headed for the kitchen. Rocky and Taylor were in there eating breakfast. I walked in and put my stuff on the counter.
“Morning” I started making a coffee.
“Morning,” Taylor replied.
“This girl was making goggly eyes at your brother this morning” was what came out of Rocky’s mouth. Taylor laughed.
“Really, dude? Can’t you say morning and be normal?” I snapped back.
“Nah, what I said was more interesting. You should warn your brother Tay. This chick wants some of that” Taylor was laughing harder now, and I was
given death stares to Rocky.
“My girlfriend is allowed to stare at me, Rocky,” came a voice, and we all turned at the same time.
Vince walked in, and he, too, was now showered and dressed for the day. He walked up to me and kissed my forehead. Then, he took the coffee from my hand and sat next to Rocky. The look on Rocky’s face was priceless. His jaws opened and eyes wide. Taylor and I burst out laughing just at his
expression.
“He said girlfriend,” Rocky finally spoke.
“Yes, babe, he said girlfriend,” Taylor replied and walked over and rubbed his back.
“Wait, you knew?” He asked Taylor, and she laughed.
“Of course I did, dumbass. I know everything” she winked at him.
Rocky frowned and looked at me.
“But why him? I’ve been trying for ages now, too, and you said yes to him?” He replied and pouted.
“Yeah, you’re far too complicated. No thanks,” I said, and everyone started laughing again. Rocky flipped me the middle finger and carried on eating.
“So it’s official then?” Taylor asked and wiggled her eyebrows.

I walked around to Vince, and he wrapped his arms around me, and I sat on his lap. This felt so natural and right.
“Yes, it is. I finally get to call her my girlfriend,” Vince bragged. I could hear the pride in his voice. It made me happy, and my cheeks went red.
“But no need to make a big fuss. Let us figure stuff but, and then you can tell mum and dad. Even though I know the moment I walk out of here, you’ll call them,” he chuckled.
Shit! Yes, she will. She won’t just keep this news to herself.
“Please, Tay. Don’t go saying anything just yet,” I begged, and I knew she wouldn’t refuse me. She groaned and nodded.
“If they get mad at me for not telling them, I will throw you under the bus” she pointed at us, and we nodded.
“Okay, kids, time for me to get going.” Rocky got up. He put his dishes away and grabbed his bags.
“Oh–oh! Can you drop me go work on your way?” I asked, quickly getting up to grab my things, but Vince held my waist and sat me down again.
“Babe, I can drop you to work. I’m about to leave to go back to Greenwoods now too.” He rubbed my arm.
“Okay, lovebirds, whatever. Vince, drive safe, and I’ll probably be seeing you more often now. See you later, man.” Rocky shook Vince’s hands and placed a kiss on my forehead, and gave Taylor a full–on kiss and hug.
