amara is sat up against her bed headboard with a content feeling in her chest as her pen in hand works in filling up the page of her journal rested against her folded-over legs. the big light is turned off so the only source of lighting comes from her leds and the tv.

larray sits up at the end of the bed with his back against the wall, nailea resting on him as she lays down with a throw blanket over her lap. chris and matt are also in the room, chris sat in amara's vanity chair and matt on the rug on the floor with the household's cat, both of their eyes fixated on the episode of bojack horseman playing from the television.

the air is peaceful as larray and nailea quietly whisper about random topics, staying mindful of chris and matt actually listening to the tv and amara trying to brainstorm. amara didn't plan for everyone to gather in her bedroom, it just kind of happened. she wanted to come in here to lay down for a bit since it was getting late, and larray and nailea tagged along for whatever reason, so she didn't end up getting to lay down. then, matt came in and chris soon followed, and an hour or two passed, so now they've entered a nice dynamic where everyone is doing their own thing. she figures things must have died down in the other room because nicole went to bed before she left, and it's pretty late now, so some people must have fallen asleep as well.

amara isn't really paying attention to the others until the sound of the door opening fills the room and heads must turn, because she quickly hears, "oh, look who it is."

"i knew you'd come in here."

when larray reaches forward on the bed to nudge amara and say, "it's your man," she finally pulls her eyes from her journal to see him for herself. an automatic smile forms on her face as vinnie chuckles and closes the door behind him.

"everyone in there fell asleep," he explains as he begins approaching the bed, his eyes catching sight of the grin on amara's face and a similar one growing on his. she scoots over slightly on the bed to create more room for him next to her, and feels the groups eyes on them leave as vinnie gets situated in the open spot.

while chris and matt assume vinnie and amara want to have their own time together and resume watching bojack horseman, amara sees larray and nailea continue to glance at the pair with small smiles on their faces. she presses her lips together and ignores them as vinnie crawls underneath the blankets, lifting the end over her torso upwards to give him easier access. she ultimately looks at them though, and the eye contact causes them to laugh and finally look elsewhere. they're enjoying this almost as much as her.

vinnie is oblivious to it all, instead taking notice of the journal on her lap and raising his eyebrows. "what are you doing?" he asks curiously.

amara feels her cheeks heat up; she can't help it. "nothing," she quickly answers sheepishly, subtly tilting the journal away from him as his eyebrows seem to raise even more.

chris seems to overhear this and must not be able to resist cutting in, because he speaks up knowingly, "she's writing songs." amara gasps in offense and immediately shoots him a look, him only shrugging as vinnie's face lights up.

his head quickly spins around to take a look at her, and she wants to scream at the upturn visibly forming in the corner of his lips. "are you really?" chris now looks away, satisfied with his instigating.

amara sighs airily, looking down to him and sheepishly nodding after a prolonged moment. quickly, a full grin spreads across his face. "can i see?" he's quick to ask.

amara only laughs. "absolutely not," she immediately shoots him down, moving the journal further away as he scoffs in offense.

although he's clearly curious judging by his eyes attempting to see the hidden words she's written, after a beat of silence, he sighs. "alright," he gives in, relaxing his shoulders as he readjusts how he's laid next to her still sat up. he pulls the covers closer to him, focusing his line of vision on the tv. "keep working; just ignore me."

she amusedly rolls her eyes, pulling her legs that her journal rests on closer to her and reclicking her pen as she finally looks back down to her current page. when she lowers the ink to the paper, the words almost write themself with how fast they leave her brain. it's so nice to finally be writing love songs again after spending so much time sulking over the past instead of just making an effort to try again. now that things finally feel right again, everything is coming to her so easy.

she writes until she's filled the page and anytime she falls flat at an idea, all she has to do is look to her side for a surge of inspiration. vinnie seems tired as he watches the animated tv show, his low-lidded eyes blinking every few seconds as his body seems to lean subconsciously closer and closer to amara. even these small, vulnerable moments in which his eyebrows are furrowed slightly in concentration of something else, amara is grateful for. this is all she wanted when it felt like there were oceans between them.

she sighs to herself and flips to a new page. she's wondering how she should approach starting this song when she feels vinnie move underneath their shared blanket. her eyebrows raise as her eyes move down to watch the subtle rising of the covers when his hand moves from his own side to very lightly graze amara's thigh.

she takes in a sharp, quiet breath as he transitions from his fingertips merely touching the skin of her thigh, to his hand fully engulfing the smooth part of her body. she looks over to him as he seems completely nonchalant at his own actions, his eyes still on the tv and his face only changed just slightly. she purses her lips, a feeling in her stomach growing as she wonders what he's up to.

his hand fully wraps around the low of her thigh, his thumb beginning to smoothly rub up and down as amara subconsciously bites on her lower lip. she looks around at her friends, finding them still clueless in their own worlds, and leans further against her headboard when she sneaks a look at vinnie again. he seems concentrated in what he's doing, and she lowers her voice, "aren't you tired?" she whispers.

vinnie manages to pull his eyes from the tv, finally looking to amara and simply whispering back, "no."

amara shuts her journal when vinnie's hand begins to creep further up her thigh, suddenly looking around at all her friends and loudly letting out a breath, "guys, i'm actually kind of ready to pass out."

she notices an upturn form on vinnie's lips in the corner of her eyes, so she sneaks one of her hands underneath the blanket to slap the one he has on her thigh. vinnie quickly changes expressions, morphing into a neutral mood as nailea and larray sigh from the end of the bed. "yeah, we should probably go to our rooms now," nailea says in agreement, although hesitant to get up. vinnie let's go of his hold on amara's thigh underneath the blanket long enough to grab onto her hand instead. he begins toying with her fingers as chris and matt stand up.

the group reluctantly begin making their exits, chris being the last to leave the room. he stops before exiting through the doorway, lingering for a moment to look back and teasingly say, "see you in the morning, lovebirds." amara and vinnie hear shared laughter from behind chris before he shuts the door at amara giving him the finger.

as soon as the two are finally left alone, a loud sigh leaves vinnie's lips. "finally," he says, causing amara to giggle as he lets go of her hand underneath the covers. he separates from her to stand up from the bed, confusing her as to what he's doing when he walks over to the door.

her own questions are answered by him turning the lock, and she raises her eyebrows. "really?" she narrows her eyes at the eager expression on his face as he looks back at her.

he nods his head, an ecstatic grin spread over his features as he begins approaching the bed. amara shakes her head at how excited he seems to be to finally get a private moment alone with her, unable to resist the grin forming on her face as well. after a short moment taken to set her journal and pen to the side, she lays back on her bed and ultimately opens her arms out for him. quickly, he shoots forward to come onto the bed, his hands landing on the spare space above her head to raise himself over her. her grin widens at the sight of him towered over her, reaching a hand out to rest along his cheekbone before being the one to bring his lips to hers.

his lips work smoothly against hers as he lifts one of his hands to travel across the lines of her hips, the other continuing to hold his weight up without a problem. his hand is hot on her skin, and it makes her want him desperately closer to her. she slides her hand further across his face, attempting to somehow bring him down closer to her as he breaks apart from her for a second to breathily chuckle.

instead of bringing his lips back down to hers, he lowers his head to her neck. amara's eyes quickly shut before his mouth even meets the soft skin there, already overwhelmed by the feeling he grants her. he begins planting soft kisses to the area, the feeling of his hot breath against her causing her hand on his face to travel further back to grip his hair. "let me show you how much i've missed you," he whispers between kisses, amara's bottom lip landing between her teeth. he lifts his head from her neck to look back up to her before devilishly asking, "will you let me see those tigers again?"

amara grins at the reference to the tattoos on her backside, pulling his head closer to her with her hand now in the mop of his hair. "if you're lucky," she teases.

vinnie only grins at the flushness of her features and the desire clear within her voice. "stay quiet for me, baby," he tells her surely, earning a nod of her head, before he finally brings his lips back down to hers.
