"Vincent kissed me, not the other way around and I never kissed that jerk back. I would never do that to you."

"Well I'm sure that you thought about it right? I mean he was apart of that bet too but unlike me he didn't mean a single shit of what he said yet here we are. He still gets to kiss you. Not me. Him. Once again he wins. He takes away something that I wanted, that I care for and to be honest I'm sick of it. I do care about you of course I do, and I do like you but I guess it just hurts. Seeing you two kiss it's just a reminder that I still might lose you to him. Like I've always done with everything else." I sat down next to him.

"I would never choose him over you. You've done way more for me than he ever has. I...I like you ok? Not him. You're the one who stayed and tried and tried again even when I wouldn't budge. I really appreciate that. I won't treat you like how Bella did, I get that she hurt you but I won't do that. I'm sorry that you had to see that, but it didn't mean anything to me, I gave Vincent one big slap to prove that. I hope that you can forgive me."

"I hope that slap was good, I kinda wished I stayed for that. I know that you're not Bella, it still hurts though. My brother loves to just rub it all in my face."

"I have an idea. You know, I remember you saying that he likes to bring Bella to your family dinners and stuff. I have a plan."

"Are you planning on making them jealous?"

"Nope. Well maybe a bit, so I know that he would probably hate seeing you happy and still with me so let's I guess over exaggerate things a bit. Act like we're so totally in love with each other just to mess him up. The best revenge is showing them how happy you are." And also on top of that I get to have an excuse to be overly affectionate with him.

"I kinda like that idea, but it wouldn't be completely fake right?" He looked over to me, with those eyes again. Oh fuck. His eyes were so enchanting.

"No...it doesn't exactly have to be. It could just be us...happy and together, just a bit over exaggerated?"

"Am I allowed to kiss you?" YES YES YES.

"Now...or at the dinner?" Please say now.

"Now would be great..." He didn't hesitate, his hand got a hold of my chin, pulling me closer to him, and then our lips touched. Fuck. It was so magical, I felt butterflies in my stomach as it continued, his lips were so soft and everything in that moment was just perfect. I think I just made myself fall even more in love with him.

"I see that you two are back together." We pulled away from the kiss to see who it was. Amara. Shit.

"Oh...it's not...I was just...we were um..."

"You were kissing my brother. I've already seen it. Well I'm glad this time it's no longer a secret between us." She smiled at the both of us before leaving the room.

"I do have a question though." I looked back at Luciano.

"Sure what is it?"

"What...are we?"
