Most Of Me (open)

[vinnie]

Vinnie just chuckled when Maddie said that maybe it counted and who knew when he said he still had it because he had made her laugh. There didn’t seem a reason for anymore words, as he shook his head, well he had certainly managed to break through something, because when they had first accidentally bumped into each other, she was so frosty with him, and now here they were about to have a drink and a bite to eat together. How often did that happen?

After Maddie had let him try a piece of her cake, without hesitation he had offered her a piece of his saying it was nice too, or at least he thought it was nice too. He grinned when she replied saying she had shared hers. “Precisely ma point.” Once she had finished eating it, he saw her grin which made him grin back at her, wondering what she was going to say about it. “Well, I gotta admit, tha’ orange cake of yers is pretty awesome.” He chuckled then.

When Vinnie had decided to confirm that Maddie was a fine looking woman, he was glad that he didn’t get a slap for his words, instead he saw that smile and she thanked him. He could have sworn he saw a slight blush come over as well, but he decided not to say anything about that. “Yer welcome.”

Vinnie gave Maddie a warm smile when she thanked him for not pushing, saying it was all she ever knew and that in the end she would just give in. She then added that being there with him was kind of refreshing. “Well thanks Maddie, it sure is refreshin’ fer me an’ all, cause am usually the opposite way an’ have girls fallin’ at ma charms at a drop of a hat, so fer me to have to chase ya if ya will, has been a change, an’ one I kinda like.” He meant it too, the sheer fact he had to try harder to impress Maddie meant a lot to him; in his eyes it meant she was a definite keeper.

Vinnie had then asked Maddie to tell him a bit more about herself, he smiled and nodded his head a few times a she spoke. “So yer one of those girls who like bungee jumpin’ or somethin’ like tha’?” He asked referring to the adrenaline rush thing. She then continued saying her biggest dislikes were boats and noisy rooms, Vinnie grinned, “Mus’ make sure I don’ ever surprise ya with a cruise then, or shut ya in a room with a kid an’ a noisy drum kit.” He was teasing her of course and he chuckled and winked after saying what he did.

Vinnie then lifted up his coffee and drank the rest of it, and no sooner had he done that, then his mobile rang. He knew right away it was a text coming in from his sister Sookie. “Excuse me a minute.” He then flipped his phone open and read the text. “Damn Maddie, I gotta go, sister is havin’ problems at home, somethin’ to do with the washin’ machine playin’ up.” He then went into his wallet and pulled out a business card, it had his building company name on it, and his mobile and email details. “If ya wanna meet up again sometime, ya can contact me either by phone or email, it was real nice meetin’ ya Maddie.” With that Vinnie stood up and walked round to her side and put his arm around her, giving her a hug and then kissed her on the cheek.

“Hope I hear from ya.” He was getting ready to leave when he just couldn’t walk out like that, and turned back and looked at her, not wanting to push things as he said he wouldn’t, “Tha’ kiss on the cheek didn’ seem like a proper one to me, d’ya mind if I give ya a real one?” His eyes were twinkling and he just stood there grinning, as he replied to Sookie’s text while he waited on Maddie’s response.

{ooc – alright I’ve brought this to hopefully close in the next two posts – so whatever Maddie does in her post, will probably determine if I need to post a final one with Vinnie or not}

Maddie shook her head slightly, smirking at what Vinnie said about girls normally falling at his feet for his charms. "Well, normally I don't need to be chased, and I am kind of glad that it was you that did then." She then began to talk more, using her hands a lot. "Normally some guys just don't know when to stop, you know? It does get kind of annoying, but me being me, I just give in. But I never want to be like that all my life. I need to be a grown up, and just deal with each situation as it comes, instead of just doing the same thing all the time."

After she told Vinnie the kind of things she liked and didn't like, he had to replied to her saying about liking things that gave her the adrenaline rush. "Yes, basically. There are a few things that I haven't tried yet, but I do love a fast rollercoaster." Maddie then grinned, thinking of the ones overseas which she would love to one day try and ride, even though she wondered how she would go on them. Vinnie then commented on the two dislikes that she mentioned, and had to smirk. "And yes, definately not on my to do lost, those things you mentioned. I just like my peace and quiet sometimes, that it all. It just calms me down, especially after an adrenaline rushed day."

Just then Vinnie's phone rang, or a text came through or something, and he excused himself. Maddie waved her hand, basically saying it was okay. She pulled out her own phone, and started mucking around with a game on there, trying not to interrupt him. When he spoke, Maddie locked her phone, and looked up at him. Shaking her head slightly, and looking understanding, she looked at him. "No, no, it's okay. Family comes first. I totally understand that." Maddie downed the rest of her drink, and began to get up, when Vinnie handed her his card. She eyed it off, as she took it. "Okay, thanks Vinnie. That would be nice."

Before Maddie got a chance to give him her phone number, he came around and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Once Vinnie spoke, she gave him a grin. "Oh I definately think you will be hearing from me soon enough." Just when she thought he was heading off, Vinnie came back, speaking about the kiss he just gave her, and asked if she minded if he gave her a real one. Maddie looked at him, texting back to his sister, and thought for a second. Now normally, Maddie would have been the one to have initiated the kiss, but she didn't feel that this was the right time for that. Vinnie was seeming different to the guys she normally saw, so decided to let him do whatever he wanted, instead of her doing her usual thing.

"I don't mind at all. As long as I can leave my number in your phone."

Vinnie couldn’t help but smile when Maddie said she didn’t normally need to be chased but she was glad that he did. Vinnie enjoyed the fact he had to chase after her so to speak, because it got boring when females just fell at his feet. Knowing he had to chase Maddie made it a challenge and he liked it. Maddie then went on to say that normally some guys just didn’t know when to stop, well Vinnie had stopped for a brief few minutes, until they accidentally bumped into each other again, and that’s when they began to talk properly. “Well I think ya dealt with me jus’ fine, ya made me chase ya, an’ as I said afore, I liked it, it sure as hell makes a difference. It gets borin’ when ya say hi to a girl an’ they’re instantly tryin’ to make ya feel good by touchin’ yer arm an’ all tha’ kinda stuff ya know?” Now it was Vinnie’s turn to spout off about the opposite member of the sex, “Tha’s wha’ made ya so special in ma eyes.”

When Maddie said he had basically got her adrenaline rush right, and loved a fast rollercoaster, Vinnie grinned, “Maybe we should take a trip to Disney World sometime then, or somewhere else, try out them massive ones overseas, yeah I could enjoy tha’, an’ who better to enjoy it with than yerself?” Vinnie then made a teasing comment about her dislikes and she said that it was definitely not on her to do list, he chuckled, “Don’ worry, I was jus’ teasin’ ya, I wouldn’ do tha’ to ya.” Everybody had their own hates and pet peeves and if that was Maddie’s then fair enough. But the thought of going on a thrill ride with Maddie on a rollercoaster was making him grin, that would be a brilliant day out he thought.

That was when a text came through on his phone from his sister Sookie about the washing machine and that he had to go and help. Thankfully Maddie understood, and Vinnie flashed her a smile, “Thanks fer understandin’, an’ yer righ’, family does come first no matter wha’?” Vinnie then handed her his business card which had his details on it for being able to get in contact with him, and he grinned when she said it would be nice. Damn right it will be nice he thought to himself. He had then made his way round and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek and said he hoped he heard from her. She replied saying he would definitely be hearing from her soon enough, he grinned, “Tha’s great.” He then began to walk away and realised that the kiss he had given her wasn’t good enough in his eyes and turned back to her asking if he could give her a real one. He grinned when she replied saying she didn’t mind at all, so long as she could leave her number in his phone.

Vinnie grinned like a Cheshire cat and handed his phone over, “Go righ’ ahead an’ type it in Maddie.” After she did that, he leaned in and kissed her, softly on the lips, with a bit of passion but not intense hunger, he let the kiss linger for a few seconds, and then pulled back, “Ya taste of oranges, an’ I like it.” He raised his eyebrows a couple of times, “Tha’ was real nice, be sure to do tha’ again soon, alrigh’ I best go now, take care of yerself Maddie.” With that Vinnie about turned and began to walk away from her, he walked a few steps and then turned round but still walking away backward he shouted, “An’ I’ll call ya later, if ya don’ get in first.” He chuckled and then turned back the right away and made his way home.
