Page 29 of Adore Me
"Oh, I heard that Anne got married. You must be her husband!" Keith exasperated.
"Yes, I must be," Ronnie replied with a joke in his laugh. "Uh, this is Vincent," he pointed at Vincent who was still deep in conversation, but he looked up and came over to me.
"Hi, Keith, right?" Vincent asked as he looped his arm around my waist. "It’s always a pleasure to meet Savannah'sfamily." And just like that, he symbolically peed on me.
"Well, we aren't family anymore."
"Isn't that a slap in the face! You remember that when you get drunk at your friends parties and call for a ride!" I screamed out and hugged him again. "Well, I am hungry. It was nice to see you again." I turned away from him and shifted my weight into Vincent's core. "Hi," I whispered in his ear as he walked me over to my spot.
"You are late," he stated when I sat and so did, he.
"Oh well!"
"You do look pretty though. We are having a get together at our place tonight. Valerie wanted to come and so did Annabeth and Bethany, but they had to work."
"Okay. What is this dinner for?" I slid my hand into his pocket to squeeze his thigh. What my finger found made me squeal. There was a circle with a rock on it. If I wouldn't have known any better, I would say it were a ring. "Whats this?" I ask as I pinch it with my fingers.
Vincent smiled and looked away from me. Ronnie met his glance and shook his head.
"I told you that you shouldn't keep that in your pocket, youcafone!" Ronnie rolled his eyes and flicked off Vincent.
Vincent turned his head to me and kissed me lightly on my lips. "Don't worry about it."
"Secrets, secrets."
Ronnie laughed and he and Anne exchanged a look.
"Fuck all of you! I am hungry!" I got off my chair and walked into the kitchen to see Johnny. "Hi, Johnny!" I yelled as I walked through the door with a big smile.
"You were late! You're very lucky that I kept you a plate!" He placed a plate of food in front of me and I immediately started to pick at it. "So, what were you yelling about out there?" Johnny set a glass of Moscato in front of me.
"Vincent." That's all I said when the door opened, and I heard high heels clack on the floor. "He is keeping secrets." I put a bite of food in my mouth and rolled my eyes.
"You shouldn't go through his pocket, Vans!"
Anne sat next to me and Johnny gave her a plate as well as a glass of wine. "Johnny, can you please tell Anne that pockets are not private?" I flicked her off.
"This is between you guys. I do not get into Pop's affairs especially with his new position!"
"I don't even know what that position means, either!" Great, I really am in the dark. I decided to be overly dramatic. "Everyone has a secret or six. Looks like I am going to need one too!" Johnny rolled his eyes and took his apron off to walk into the dining room. "Kitten, it felt like a ring!" I squealed as I picked apart a piece of bread.
"Mm, I don't know!" She laughed and scooped pasta in her mouth but hasn't touched her wine yet. I looked from her and to the wine glass. She will tell me sooner than later.
"Ladies! The party has been moved to Pop's house! The girls are already over there!" Sammy yelled through the door.
Vincent came into the kitchen and I picked up the other piece of the bread and walked out with him. "I don't like you keeping secrets," I growled in his ear as I nibbled on it. "Is it for me?"
"You will find out!" He walked me to the BMW and opened the door. I scooched in and got settled. Since he has automatic start, I opened the convertible but grabbed a blanket from the back. "You are insane, baby doll."
I made acluckwith my mouth and said: "That's why you love me." He started driving the car and rested his hand on my thigh as I wrapped myself in the blanket. I purred as he squeezed it. "I love you, your secret keeper!" I said with a joke in my voice as I squeezed his hand.
Sure enough, there were cars stacked into the driveway of my and Vincent's house. I still get all giddy inside when I think of it as our home. I thought it was funny how all of them just let themselves in even though Vincent wasn't there.
We walked up the sidewalk and I stopped halfway between the car and the door. "I remember this spot a few months ago," I whispered and wrapped my arms around his shoulders and lifted myself to my tip toes to kiss him. Vincent wrapped me into his core and took the kiss further.
"I remember this spot too. I also remember you teasing the crap out of me in the car, you little vixen!" He chuckled and I knew he was referring to the time in the bar when he referred to me as a vixen in the bar. "Oh, Ms. Cavanaugh, you drive me insane!" He muttered in my mouth as I lifted my leg to wrap around his waist as best as I could while wearing a skirt. I kept the kiss alive and more heated since I started to scratch his back with my nails after I slipped my hand in the back of his shirt.
"Will you quit! We are inside watching you! At least do something juicier than making out!" Leo screamed out the door. Vincent broke our kiss and I put my leg down.
