---------
After another NY Fall Fashion show, Vinnie headed back to Aiden's mom's house. She opened the door just to meet pouty-faced Aiden sitting on the couch with his arms folded, simply staring at the messy floor. He's been serious and grumpy ever since they returned from France.
Vinnie sighed, "Aiden, just look at this place! and how long will you sit in the same position?" While kicking an empty can of cactus juice out of the way, she went and sat on Aiden's lap. With a big smile she tore a piece of paper in front of his face. It was a ticket to another fashion show. Aiden arched an eyebrow, "What's that about?"
Vinnie put her arms around Aiden, "Well, I figured we both need a break from this crazy world don't you think?" Aiden sighed and pulled her closer with a kiss. "Yeah, but...You sure about that? They're expecting you tomorrow with the new designs..."
Vinnie rolled her eyes while playing with Aiden's hair, "Oh screw it...besides you gotta turn this frown upside down" She playfully poked her fingers to his face, trying to make him smile. But he was too upset about the situation with the band. His head hung low and whispered, "I hope I made the right decision Vinn..." He leaned on to Vinnie's shoulder and held back the tears. Quitting the band was never his option. They were his family and his world revolved around them. But things have gone way too far for him to handle things in his own hands. But he was really happy to have Vinnie who understood him more than anyone else. She hugged him with a concerned look, "Baby don't worry....It's not your fault. I'm sure things will get better soon."
Vinnie's phone broke the silence, and she got up and picked up the phone. It was a text message from Silvia, but she ignored it and tossed the phone over the couch. "you know what? let's forget about all this right now. Let's think about 'us'." Aiden smiled, "You're right....besides, it's been a while hasn't it" He winked at her and brought her closer. They passionately kissed while Aiden felt Vinnie's back under her top. During their make-out session, Aiden's mom entered the house with a smirk. She cleared her throat when the couple suddenly jolted with embarassement. While they were heavily blushing, Vinnie hid behind Aiden. "Mom!!! Couldn't you knock the door?!?!" Aiden's mom laughed, "Sorry kids, but not in my living room. Besides, don't you have some place else to go?" She gave a look at Aiden hoping that he'd ask Vinnie out again, so that his mother could have peace and quiet at home. Aiden hesitated while still being mad at his mom for intruding their privacy, "Eheh, yyeahh...uhm, Vinns, yyou wanna go out??" Pulled him towards the door.
"Sure!! uhmm, see you Mrs. Turner."
His mom giggled and smiled, "no worries hun. And just call me Jill."

Aiden & Vinnie were on their way to a restaurant for lunch. Aiden was fidgeting with the GPS in the car while he drove and chuckled, "Hey by the way, sorry about my mom..."
Vinnie giggled,"Oh it was nothing.Your mom's really cool. I love her a lot!" Aiden replied," I'm glad you two get along pretty well." Vinnie smiled and looked out the window with sadness in her heart. She wished that it was the same with Aiden and her father. She checked her text messages and most of them was from Silvia. She sighed and looked at Aiden. Aiden looked from his sunglasses, "Hm? who's that?" Vinnie replied, "It's Sil.....again"
After a long pause he asked, "What did she say?"
Vinnie read the message, "She said, 'Vinnie dear, I'm sorry things turned out terribly wrong. I had so many new plans of getting our new collab business up....yadayada...I hope Aiden's doin alright..' well, basically a long rant your band situation....come to think of it, what exactly happened?"
Aiden whistled and pulled over to the parking lot of a local restaurant, "It's a looong story....Gonna explain while we eat." Vinnie smiled and sarcastically said, "Oh this is gonna be a fun date."
They went in holding hands, when they noticed paparazzis rushing towards them. Aiden grumbled to himself, "Oh you gotta be kidding me.."
They hurried to the restaurant and avoided them just in time.
After ordering food, Vinnie looked around the restaurant. The place looked homey and comfortable- more like a family restaurant. She watched and chuckled as Aiden already started munching on the garlic bread, "I'm guessing you've been here for a long time."
With food still in his mouth he nodded, "Ever since I was little, my family and I always came here once in a while. But that's mainly why I loved this place." He pointed to the bar where they served drinks including his favorite cactus drinks of different flavors! Vinnie rolled her eyes with her face in her palm, "Oh my goodness. Soon every restaurant in this world will have that crazy beverage!"
He gave a silly laugh while still munching on with more appetizers that kept coming in. Vinnie watched him and smiled. 'How cute!' she thought. "Hey you gotta taste these quesadillas!" He offered her a bite. "Mmm!! so good!" Aiden said, "Told ya! I'm gonna get you to taste everything they have to offer! It's the best!" "Are you trying to make me fat? " "Who said you looked fat?" While sharing their food, they laughed and poked fun at each other and played a little with their food. They headed to the bar and got non-alcoholic drinks. There was a pause, while Vinnie asked about what happened at Europe. She only knew half the story since she was busy touring with other designers in fashion shows and meetings. She hardly had the time to join in along with others for a few concerts.
Aiden started to explain, "Well, you know lately I've been so stressed out 'cause I was putting twice the pressure on myself for this new album, right?" Vinnie nodded while sipping on her drink. Aiden continued, "Well, I was always the ONLY guy in the studio for the most part and no one would show up to any meetings. Jay puts me in charge and I had to write all the songs and make all the music myself!!"
Vinnie: "But what about collaborating together like you always do?"
Aiden: "exactly!!! I mean I do understand that Jay and Sil are busy parents, but they still get a lot of free time, and they've got people around them...but I was noticing somethin fishy goin on..."
Vinnie: "Oh no, is their relationship rocky again?"
Aiden: "no not them...It's mainly Jayden this time..He's gone a bit too far....You know how he lives a crazy life and takes risks that nearly causes him his life?"
Vinnie: "Oh tell me about it.... //shakes head// What did he do this time?"
Aiden: "If you remember 3 years ago, He got into a coma because of that stupid Lino guy.."
Vinnie: "yes from that gang fight"
Aiden: "Well few weeks ago, I learn that Jayden forgave him for some reason...which I guess I'm learning to accept....But what I don't understand is that He's ready to help Lino out of the blue...with some stinkin murder case that has somethin to do with Lino's parents, and now He's tagging everyone along with him!"
Vinnie: "what?!"
Aiden: "Jack, Sil, Charlotte, everyone...And of course, you know how he is with keeping all this confidential and away from all of the media...But, I can't stand it Vinnie. They tried to convince me to just accept it and move on and...just be a part of it.....but no, He's already got himself into a lot of trouble before and he's doin it again. He's gonna get himself killed and I'm soo tired of seeing them live a risky life.....I just can't...accept it..."
Vinnie: "Oh my goodness!! and what about the kids?!"
Aiden: "They have the best security and all, they're gonna be alright."
Vinnie held his hand, "Aiden, don't quit because of this. It's good to take a break and stay away from this....But please promise you'll still be a part of Chien?"
Aiden looked at her and smiled, "Yeah...Chien's a part of me" He kissed her gently on her lips. "More than them, I want you to be safe."
Vinnie smiled and said, "Aw, don't worry about me...besides I'm glad we're far away from it all."
Even though their were concerned about their friends, they were just content for having each other.
Aiden leaned toward her, "Hey how about we go to the beach?" Vinnie, "Totally!!"
