"So viv? Last night wasn't so bad was it?" they had sex for the first time after they ran. Well it wasn't gabriel's first time, but he was still very gentle.
"no" she smiled warmly. "not bad at all." He grinned. He gave a low whistle as she got up to change and she blushed. "shush" she warned him. "my mother's still here. Maybe next time we do this it should be at your place."
"next time?" he smiled hopefully.
"well of course you didn't think I'd abandon you after what you did for me? and besides, I'll make you work for it." She walked over to him and got on top of him. She laughed as she felt his heartbeat quicken. Her lips were centimeters from his and instead of kissing him on the lips she kissed him on the cheek and got up. He growled.
"you're not being fair."
"oh really?"
"yes, so why don't you come over here and let me show you what's fair."
"nice try wolf boy." She got a towel and an outfit and walked to the bathroom for a shower. When she got back he was gone. She'd punish him for that later but at least he had good timing, her mother was up. She wanted to tell her mother on her own. "hey mum"
"darling your body's back!" she said excitedly. "when did this happen?"
"um, Gabriel helped me." her eyes shone astonishment. "actually mom there's something I want to tell you about that."
"sure, anything?" she sat down next to viv, on the couch and put her hands in her lap. Vivian liked that they were getting close again but there were times like this that usually got ruined by:
"hey! How's my darling family?" tomas recently moved in.
"well unless there's a ring on her finger" she pointed to her mother. "you are not my family." Tomas's smile faded and so did esme's.
"Viv!" esme scolded.
"I'm sorry" she lied. "I'm just not feeling well since…you know" they looked sympathetic at her half lie. Sure she felt bad about everything, but not that bad anymore because she knew Gabriel would accept her and stay with her for a while, or so he said. But it still hurt a little to think that someone who said they loved you could betray you that fast.
"it's okay" Tomas said and actually had the nerve to come and hug her. he patted her back and she knew her apologies would be wasted if she told him to get the hell off her. when he finally let go she headed for her room.
"oh vivan?" she gritted her teeth.
"yes?"
"there's was something you wanted to tell me?" she looked as tomas went and sat where Vivian just was.
"no" she said sweetly. "it's not that important."
"okay darling" and her mother began to kiss tomas. Vivian immediately left before she hurled. She still didn't understand how her mother could go for someone so…cowardly. She hoped she wouldn't do anything that stupid if something happened to Gabriel. She winced at the thought. How could I think like that? She got dressed and met up with the five who were, surprisingly on their way to her house with more cd's.
"Vive you're back!" Willem cheered. They all dropped their cd's in the lawn and hugged her.
"hey guys"
"we should celebrate."
"actually I was just looking for you guys. I want pizza"
"let's go!" they headed for a pizza bar and were all laughing happily when a group of people walked over to them.
"hey Vivan" it was Aiden. "look, I'm sorry for…everything and—" bingo cut him off.
"shouldn't it be her who's apologizing." Vivian had enough of her crap.
"Bingo" she looked her in the eye. "shut the hell up. You know nothing of what happened so you have no right to bitch at me so if you still have a problem you can go over there while me and aiden talk." Everyone looked shocked at what she said. "I'm not joking."
"aiden, we are so talking about this later" she said and walked away. and all that was left was Kelly.
"Kelly I don't care if you say anything, but you better get the hell out of my face before I ruin yours."
"oh, like you ruined my room!"
"no I'm pretty sure if I wanted to ruin anything it'd be your face. But obviously you're giving me the chance at that right now." She felt the need to speak her mind and not take crap from anyone. It was great practice for being the alpha female. Kelly paled and walked away. aiden looked scared, and she didn't want to yell at him so she tried to comfort him. "look aiden, I forgive you. You were scared, how could I expect you to be able to handle something like that." He nodded. I mean how was I supposed to know you're just a poser and a wimp? She thought silently. She'd already yelled at two people, she didn't have to yell at everyone.
"thanks. And about the accepting thing, I think we can make this work…if you're willing to have me." the four growled at that. And Vivian calmed them down with a growl of her own.
"Aiden I'm sorry but not only am I taken now, but you lost that little chance you had with my when you tried to shoot me, and endangered my pack." he opened his mouth to cut her off but she wasn't done. "I know, you couldn't do it, but how would I even know you mean what you say. What if you, 'see that thing whenever you try to kiss me' I mean come on Aiden you can't be that much of a liar can you now?" he put his head down in shame.
"I-I know, I'm sorry." He turned away sadly.
"Aiden" he turned around hopeful. "I really do forgive you though" she tried to smile warmly at him. He gave her a sad smile and walked back to bingo and Kelly. "do you want to go back guys?"
"sure." Vivian paid for all of them and walked out with their arms around her. they reached her house with tomas and esme on one couch and Gabriel on the other. The four sat down on the nearest couch.
"everyone" she smiled at them. "there's something you should know." They all looked at her waiting. She walked over to Gabriel, sat on his lap and kissed him. Everyone was shocked. She pulled away looking around. "does that about some it up?"
"baby you accepted him!"
"yes she did" Gabriel smiled as he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"wow" the four said at the same time. Vivian blushed.
"yea" she looked down smiling. She got up and all of them hugged her.
"I'm so happy for you vivie" willem.
"you're finally going to be our queen" ulf
"you'll do great" greg
"we're proud" finn. Vivian almost cried in happiness of their faith in her. they all let go except her mother, who kept planting kisses on her forehead and cheeks.
"Mom" she laughed. "it's all right"
"I know" she let go. "I'm just so…proud. I'm so happy I got blessed with you as a daughter." Vivian felt a happy tear roll down here eyes as she smiled.
"wow viv" ulf said. "first you stood up to aiden, and those other girls and now this. You're gonna be a great queen." She wiped her tear away and smiled.
"thank you all, so much" she felt like she was winning an award. She sat back with Gabriel who couldn't take his eyes off her.
"she stood up to them?" he asked the four.
"yea" greg said excitedly. "aiden started to apologize but then that girl bingo cut him off and was like Vivian should be the one apologizing and Vivian was like: bingo, shut the hell up because you know nothing of what happened so if this is still bothering you, you can leave, now"
"and then everyone looked at her shocked and she was all: I'm not joking" finn added.
"and then the bingo girl left and Kelly was still there, and Viv was like, Kelly I don't care if you're quiet or not but you better get the f out my face before I ruin yours, and the girl was all like you messed up my room! And Viv was like no, I'm pretty sure if I'd mess anything up it'd be your face and with you standing here you're giving me the chance to" ulf added.
"and then after the Kelly girl left aiden apologized and tried to get back with her, and Vivian was like I'm sorry aiden but not only am I taken but you lost any shot at me when you brought that shot gun and endangered my pack, and I think she was mocking him or something because she was like : besides, 'you'd picture that thing whenever you kissed me' and he was all ashamed and walking away and vivie stopped him and was like: I really do forgive you though." Willem added happily. Esme's face shown shock and delight, tomas smiled, and Gabriel's face was glowing with pride.
"they're right" Gabriel murmured. "you'll be a great queen" she kissed him, and they were about to deepen the kiss but were interrupted by a clearing of throats.
"on your own time" ulf laughed.
"shut up brother" Gabriel said and ulf smiled. After his mother died, Gabriel was there for him and now they're like brothers.
