I pulled the hoodie Vinnie had gifted me over my head and used my shirt to wipe up the class of '39. I had climbed back into the front seat and shifted in my seat as Vinnie went back into the rest stop for drinks and snacks. I reached back for my shoes and saw the crushed, unopened box of condoms. I grabbed the box and turned it over in my hands. I sighed and put the condoms back on the seat. They were no good to me now.

Vinnie had come back a few moments later and we were heading back the way we came. We were tired so there was no blasting music but we were still zooming down the highway, wanting to get back at a reasonable time. I had a flight at 8am and I needed a goodnight sleep before hand and at least an hour to pack. I was tempted to stay with Vinnie tonight and sleep next to him but I knew it wouldn't be worth it.

I had returned the car, got an Uber to the airport and got through TSA thankfully only minutes before my flight took off. I hated waiting around in airports.

It was weird to be back in Seattle. I was only gone for a week but everything felt different. Bear seemed even bigger when I picked him up from the shelter and time seemed to pass quicker than it usually did.

"You've got a last minute in ten."

"Thanks Carlos." I looked up from my desk and gave my boss a tight smile as I started to sterilize my tools. I put my colors back and grabbed my color reel, leaning back in my seat. Almost immediately I had someone sitting across from me, showing me pictures of what she wanted. I worked in a daze, finishing too soon.

I collected my things and walked out of the building, rushing to get in my car and out of the heat. I may be in a state bordering Canada but we could still give some states a run for their money.

I came home to Bear pawing at the window. I picked him up and stroked his back. "Hi buddy, did ya miss me?" I cooed at the cat, carrying him to the kitchen where I grabbed a drink from the fridge. I plopped down on the couch and turned on the TV.

Three Weeks Later in Vinnie's POV

It was officially July. Only thirteen more days until my birthday. I have barely talked to Max face to face because both of us have been busy. Mainly me and all the parties I've had to attend but Max has a job too.

"Still hungover?" I asked at Calvin who gave me the middle finger. "Glad you're feeling better." I smirked and went back to my phone.

"How's lovergirl? Still too pussy to ask her out?" Calvin teased. I tolled my eyes.

"She lives in Seattle. It wouldn't work. Plus I haven't talked to her in like a week."

"She losing interest or?" Calvin raised and eyebrow and I shrugged.

"I've been really busy and just haven't had the chance. It sucks."

"Maybe if you beg Alex will fly her out." Calvin sat across from me and I sighed, knowing how complex that would be for Max.

"She took too much time off to come see my fight to leave again. She could come up just for a day but I don't want her first visit to LA to suck."

"She works?"

"Nail technician."

"Oh. Is she any good? Does she do house visits, run from her own home or an actual salon."

"An actual salon. If she was lucky enough to be her own boss I'm sure she'd be down here the minute she could."

"Good morning you two. I see you're still hungover." Alex patted Calvin on the back as he shuffled into the kitchen.

"Yeah yeah. At least I'm not fretting over some girl on the other half of the country." Calvin smirked and I rolled my eyes, fed up with the teasing.

"Oooo, Vinnie finally get a girl?" Alex pulled a chair up to the table and I rolled my eyes.

"He's too pussy to make a move."

"Just up Calvin. At least I'm not a virgin." I stuck my tongue out and Alex laughed.

"You guys fucked and then you ignored her for a week?! Dude!"

"I didn't ignore her! We've been busy."

"You've been busy." Calvin murmured. I got up from my seat and walked away from the conversation. I grabbed a water from the fridge and climbed to stairs, heading back to my room. I was fed up with Calvin but I was more mad at myself. Mad that I fucked Max and then stopped replying. Mad I got too attached. Mad I even met her. If I hadn't met her I wouldn't be in this position. I would've saved myself so much trouble.

I decided to ignore my troubles, and Max, still not ready for that awkward conversation and hopped onto stream, losing my worries in chat.

A few minutes into my game I heard the buzz of my phone vibrating on the desk. I glanced at it and sighed. I tossed it onto my bed and turned back to my game. It kept going off, the stream of notifications never ending.

"Someone's popular today." Nailea wandered into my room and set a plate of chicken on my desk. I paused my game and spun around in my chair.

"Toss me my phone. I've been ignoring it and now I'm interested."

"Who's Max? He's been texting and calling you like, all day." Nai handed me my phone and I thanked her, scrolling through my notifications.
