sitting there and pretend like im not here or we can talk like normal people." Vic finally broke the silence. I looked at him, his smile made my heart flutter.
He moved to the side and patted the seat next to him.

"C'mon, the least you could do is sit next to me."

I nodded and got off the couch I was sitting on. I made my way to the seat next to him and sat down.

"There, now its less awkward." He smiled, and I returned his smile.

The silence continued. I didnt know how to talk to him anymore. Vic has a way to get into my mind and change everything. He knows the right words to say that make me want him. Honestly, im scared to talk to him, Im scared to fall into his trap and lose Tony for good this time.

I got up from the couch and made my way to the kitchen . I had to get away from him before I did something I regretted.
I opened the fridge door and grabbed a bottle of water.
I leaned against the counter and sighed. Tony and Jaime just left about thirty minutes ago and I wish they were back already. I hate having to avoid Vic, but its for the best.

I took a sip of my water and placed it back in the fridge. I leaned back against the counter, I attempted to waste a couple of more minutes until I had to go back into the living room and face Vic.

I stood there for awhile, wondering what to do next.

"Um, hey." Vic walked into the kitchen and walked over to where I was standing.

We stood there in silence once again.

"Why?" He looked at me and I made a confused face.

"Why what?" I questioned.

"Why are you avoiding me? I thought we had something.." His face expression turned sad and it broke my heart.
I couldnt lie, I had to tell him the truth.

"Im with Tony, Vic. Nothing could happen between us." I looked down, his sad eyes were tearing me apart.

"But what if something could happen between us?" He walked closer to me. "What if you were with me instead of Tony? I know you dont regret what happened between us the other day, 'cause I surely dont. You give me a feeling I dont know how to explain Leah, I want you all to myself."

He came closer. I couldnt move, I was falling into his trap.

"Leah, I cant promise you the world, I cant promise that you wont be sad anymore, but I could promise that I will love you and take care of you more than Tony ever would."

He lifted up my chin, "I love you Leah."

My heart melted, i'd fallen into his trap. I held my breath and tried to put my mind straight. I tried my hardest to remind myself of Tony, but I was caught.

"I...-" I started to say, but I couldnt finish.

He leaned in. My heart beated faster. I felt his lips gently brush mine. I have to snap back to reality, I cant do this to Tony again.

"I cant." I turned my head the other way. For a moment I was proud of myself for finding the will to stop what was about to happen, but there was a part of me that wondered what would have happened if I let him kiss me.

"You cant, or you dont want to?" He whispered in my ear.

"Vic, you know I cant..." I whispered back.

He tilted my head back with his finger. "Just tell me you dont want to and ill stop."

He leaned in again, but slower than before. How was I suppose to tell him I didnt want this, when I knew deep down I kinda sorta wanted it?

"Vic.. I...-"

His lips touched mine once again, and I didnt move. I relaxed for a second, then snapped back to reality.

"Vic, im sorry."

"I thought its what you wanted..." He leaned back and looked down.

"Honestly, I dont know what I want..." I whispered.

"I see..." He put his hands in his pockets and nodded his head.
"I should get going then..." He walked out of the kitchen and into the living room to grab his keys.

I couldnt think. I wanted to say something but my mouth refused to speak. My heart ached, but I wasnt sure why.

"Vic, wait!" I ran into the living room. He had his hand on the door knob of the front door.

He turned around with a small smile on his face, "Yeah?"

I threw my arms around him, and put my face into his neck. "I love you too Vic... But I need time to think." I whispered.
The words came out faster than I can think. I wasnt sure what I said, but it felt right.

He pulled me away and grabbed my face with both hands. "If time is what you want then take all the time you need." He kissed my cheek, "Ill wait."

I smiled. I felt a bit relieved. "Thanks."

"So you dont mind if I stay?" He asked biting his lip.

"I dont mind Victor." I smiled and sat on the couch.

We sat there for a couple of hours talking about whatever came to mind. No kissing happened, just talking.

Vic left right before Tony and Jaime showed up. He said he didnt want to be around when Tony got home.

Tony walked in first, "Leah!" he yelled. He ran up to me and picked me up.

"I missed you." He whispered.

I laughed. "I missed you too Tony."

"Umm.." Jaime said walking in.
"You could put my sister down now."

Tony placed me back on the floor, and walked into the kitchen.

"Leah, can you come over here real quick?" Jaime said walking over to his room.

I followed. "Whats up bro?"

"I hope you know im not stupid Lee."

I made a confused face. "What do you mean?"

"I know Leah.. I know everything."
