I heard a startled gasp, "Vivy, your okay, I've been so worried," I heard a shudder of breath escape him as sobs came out.
I turned around slowly, and my heart gave a little twinge. Not that I still loved him, more just the pain about being so wrong about someone. I saw the tears running down his cheeks and just felt annoyed. "You would have known if I didn't survive Aiden, I don't think Gabe would have let you live."
Aiden balked for a moment, but walked a few steps closer. "Would it help if I told you how sorry I was?"
"Not particularly Aiden, I loved you and I just wanted you to see how beautiful I am. You couldn't take it as a gift. Only a curse. You really have no right to tell me you're sorry."
"Viv, I still love you."
"Don't say that Aiden, don't ever say that again." I stood up to walk away. He was hurting me more than he realized.
"Viv, we can work this out, I promise. I can look the other way. You can be you and we can be together."
I stopped, and turned back around. Looking past his shoulder I could see Gabe sitting on his bike and if any doubts about him had been in my head they were squashed right there. Gabe cared about me for me from the beginning. Aiden didn't deserve something so beautiful and magical in his life. He proved that.
"Aiden, I don't ever want to see you again," he tried to cut me off; "No I mean it. You broke me Aiden. And for that I'll always hate you. But I'll always care about you too, because if you hadn't done what you did, I wouldn't have Gabe." I strode past him. "He is my future, and I will never look back."
"Vivian, don't! That guy is a psycho. I don't want to see you with him."
I snarled and got into his face, it pleased me that I seen him flinch. "You could never handle me Aiden. I'm wild, and you won't have to see me with him because in a few weeks we'll be gone."
I continued walking towards Gabe and I saw him stand with the biggest smile on his face.
"Don't say that Vivy. I love you. I can't imagine life without you, I'm so sorry I hurt you."
I tossed my hair over my shoulder. "Get used to it Aiden." I walked up to Gabe and he wrapped his arms around me and I fell into the comfort of him.
"Hey Baby, your mom told me you'd be here. You okay? I don't need to go gut the little meat boy do I?" he nuzzled the top of my head.
"I'm better now that you're here." I smiled up at him. "And I can handle myself wolf man."
"I know you can baby, I know it would hurt you to hurt him though," He smiled. "I have a question for you then; do you want to come with me to Vermont to finalize the inn? I figure this is something we should do together. And I'd really like your name to be on the property." He smiled down at me looking a little unsure. "Unless you have other plans…"
I hugged him tighter. "Nope," a tear slid down my face, "You really want me to come?"
He picked me up and put me on the back of the bike, "Of course I do! Lets get you back so you can pack, we'll leave tomorrow morning."
He jumped on the bike and it roared to life, I turned and looked at the field and Aiden was walking away. I really hoped this would be the last time I seen him.
"I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain Vivian."
I held on to him tighter, "its okay Gabe, If I hadn't I don't know how much longer I would have made you chase me."
He reached from the handle bars and rubbed my hands.
Gabe dropped me off at home with a lingering kiss on my lips, "While I'd love to stay and help Babe, I don't think we'd get much work done." He nibbled on my lips and I felt my self getting much more into the kiss. He reached under my shirt and I felt his hand tracing patterns across my skin, and I moaned into his lips. I was like putty in his arms. I felt his fingers going up and down my spine and tickling the soft skin of my breasts. Reaching over and tracing over my nipples. Oh no, I thought, you aren't getting away with it that easy. I moaned again into his mouth and rubbed his inner thigh. He growled and pulled me tighter to him. "Not fair Princess." I giggled and batted my eyes at him. "I don't know what you're talking about sweetie; I thought this was totally innocent." I rubbed him a little bit more seriously while I bit his ear. He growled deeper. "If you continue to do that, the neighbors are going to watch as I take you on the bike." I laughed and pulled away. I loved feeling in control, and with Gabe we both walked the fine line. I turned around and swung my hips suggestively, I heard a grown, and smiled. Yup, I loved being in control.
I opened the door and I could hear Thomas and Esme giggling in her room.
"Mom, I'm home." I yelled, hoping whatever they were doing was going to be PG.
Esme walked out of the room, "Hey Baby, did Gabriel find you," she looked around me, "Where is he?"
"Yah he found me, he went home to pack so we can hit the road tomorrow."
Esme looked at me a little confused. "Gabe asked me to come finalize the inn with him," I couldn't help the huge smile that was plastered on my face.
Esme smiled and hugged me tight, "See baby, I told you there was no need to mope."
I hugged her back, while there were times I wish my mom was more serious I loved having her happy for me.
"Get up there and pack girl, I do need you to finish packing your room too though, and pack all the dishes in the kitchen."
I sighed and took the stairs two at a time, there was the serious mother. I walked past Thomas on my way to my room and he gave me a smile. While I wasn't super keen on Thomas, he made my mom happy, and that made me happier than anything else could.
I smiled as I walked into my room and I gasped. Lying on my bed was Gabriel with his arms behind his head. "What are you doing here," I said.
He indicated I should whisper, "you didn't think I'd let you go with you suggestively wriggling your hips at me, did you? You need to learn when you do that, someone might challenge you to it," he got up and walked towards me. "I plan on challenging you." He quickly had my tank top off and was biting down my neck.
"I wouldn't have it any other way wolf man." I said as he picked me up and laid me on the bed.
I hoped my mom wouldn't mind packing the dishes herself.
