Chapter 20 : Eva(ngeline)

I woke up caged in Vinnie's scent as I pushed my face against his chest and felt a warm hand grab mine.
"Good morning doll" he whispered to me.
"Good morning." I replied sleepily as I turned over to my back and rubbed my eyes. Out of curiosity I pulled up the duvet to reveal our naked bodies.
"What are you trying to do hm.?" Vinnie questioned as I stared him up and down before he put his hand back on mine and took the duvet off our bodies fully. He lied on his back and pulled me on top of him which led to us caressing each others bare bodies; withholding our warmth. After laying together for some time I felt like it was becoming clear what was happening between us and it scared me. He placed a soft kiss on my cheek before getting out of bed. I rubbed my bottom lip as I thought about last night and I felt my body get goosebumps at the thought how close we were. But I needed to get out of bed: what should I do today? I thought to myself as I shuffled along my bed causing Vinnie to mirror my movement. Sitting on the side of my bed I stretched my arms up causing my chest to perk.
"I'm so tired." I yawned as I lowered my arms and stood up to walk towards the bathroom.
"Who wouldn't be after last night" Vinnie teased and smiled at me softly when I turned to face him.
"Shut up. I'm going to shower." I rolled my eyes and strutted in to my bathroom.

I left my hair out after showering,it was still straight, and let it drop down my bare back;I ran my fingers through it and pulled it over one of my shoulders before bending down to dry my freshly shaven legs. The bathroom smelt of vanilla and almonds with my mirror all steamed and the tiles remained cold beneath my feet. I tucked my hair behind my blush red ears to moisturise my face before leaving the bathroom, moving my hair away from my face gave me a clear view of my forehead scar. And I absolutely hated it. I strolled out of my bathroom with a purple towel wrapped around my body in order to get dressed for the day ahead. I came out the bathroom to my room cleared: no clothes on the floor,no messy bed,there was even a window slightly open and a candle lit. I looked around the room with a sense of paranoia,did Vinnie do this? I exhaled deeply after dropping my towel to the ground and walking toward my drawer to start changing.
"He must've done this for me. But why?" I mumbled to myself whilst rummaging for clothes. The only reason I was acting so doubtful of his intentions was because barely anyone in my life has done something good for me without asking for something fairly intense in return.
Fucking mom and dad.
I shook my head at attempt to get rid of the pessimism,it didn't work much. In order to stop my thoughts of the past I tried to shift my mind to things I could do for the day and I shuffled through my clothes some more after putting on a pair of pink laced underwear and a normal white bra. Thinking of what to wear can be so complicated sometimes. It was a nice day out;the sun was beginning to come through the clotted clouds and there was a slight breeze to balance out the warm temperature. I took down a dress from one of my hangers and placed it on my bed along with a light cardigan, I walked over to my drawer and took out laced socks to place with my dress. I sat at my vanity and began to do my hair and makeup. I took my time with my makeup in order to help calm myself down from my thoughts followed by deciding on a hairstyle that would look cute all day.
"Evangeline!" My name was called from the distance
"Yeah!" I yelled back ensuring that Vinnie could hear me.
"Are you ready yet we're going out!" He said as though he read my mind, as though he knew I was stressed and needed to get out just by my body language.
"Almost done I just need to get my outfit." I clarified as I finished up my hair.
My dress wrapped around my body and it flowed around my thighs and I brushed it down and fiddled with its ruffles and pleats. As I pulled my socks up over my knees I couldn't help but smile as I thought of how caring Vinnie had been to me especially after last night. Was this what he wanted to be like all along? I put on my cardigan and left the buttons undone at attempt to not keep him waiting for long. I forcefully tried to get rid of my smile as I picked up a pair of red polished shoes and headed downstairs,assuming that Vinnie was already down there waiting for me. I walked downstairs with my shoes in one hand and holding the railing with the other and saw the back of Vinnie's head above the couch and watched his head instantly turn when he heard me come down the stairs. He wore a moderately basic Ralph Lauren jumper,those were my biggest weakness,with a white t-shirt visibly pocking out from underneath and black pants; he was right he really isn't a man of bright colours is he.
"I'm ready!" I exclaimed with a smile on my face.
"You look beautiful" he gazed at me in awe and I walked over to the couch in order to sit somewhere and put on my shoes. I buckled my shoes and wiped over the bows to ensure they were clean before fixing the sleeves of my cardigan and standing up.
"Okay now I'm ready,so where are we going?"
