Chapter – 4:
Life-mates:
"Mom… "The red-haired girl said the word in a resentful tone, "…What do you want me to do now?" she turned around to look at her mother with a grimacing face.
"I just want you to be happy, I always did. It's just that whenever I start to trust that you are ready, something springs up." Her mother's previous anger evaporated as she spoke.
Every weekend, Gwendolyn and her daughter Evelyn visited her parents. It was not a regular thing; they skipped a few weekends and sometimes even a whole month. But the visits did occur. And they pre-dated even the divorce. Kevin accompanied them, but the bitterness between Kevin and Lily Tennyson, Gwen's mother, made these visits rare if not extinct.
"Mom, that's not an answer." Gwen said as she turned away from her and picked up a dish to wash, " I mean, I did everything you ever wanted me to do, I never had sex before marriage, I graduated CA even if I didn't want to, and I even divorced Kevin because of you! " Gwen was sick of her mother's constant bickering. She was sick of her never-ending ridicule on her already devastated relationship with Kevin.
"Because of me?" she was more surprised than disappointed, "Gwen, you know as well as I do that, That numb-skulled buffoon deserved it.", disappointment covered her face and she said," I don't believe you said that, Gwendolyn. I thought you were well past him." She really could not believe it.
"I am, MOM." Gwen sighed, exasperated. Letting her whole body turn limp.
"Mommy! What color is Florida?" Evy shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Ask you Grandpa, honey!" Gwen shouted back.
"Grandpa is sleeping under his newspaper... he isn't moving" Evy poked Frank with her pencil and shouted, "I think he's dead, Mommy!"
Gwen eyes opened wide when she heard it; she came stomping to the kitchen door, "Evelyn Gwendolyn Levin! Watch Your Mouth!" Gwen rebuked angrily. Evy was too docile to talk back, she just made a face and buried herself in the couch. In all that ruckus, Frank woke up and jumped, "Huh? What? Where..?" he was shell-shocked.
"Dad, can you please help Evy?"
"Yes, yes of course. Evy come here…"
Gwen shook her head mildly as she strode towards her mother. Gwen saw it in her eyes that she had been thinking something. Gwen picked up another dish from the sink and started washing it…
"Gwen dear, I only wanted you and Evy to have a happy life that is all."
"Pretty bang up job, Mom." Gwen replied sarcastically. But soon she realized that her mother was hurt. In the end she was her mother.
She turned around to face her, "Mom, I'm sorry OK." she apologized, "… it's just that whenever I come visit you guys, I hear the same 'life-mate' argument over and over again, it just stresses me out." She explained, "Can't you let it go, please?"
"As long as that mangy animal is related to you, no matter in which part of the universe, my soul cannot rest." Rage in Lily's eyes was enough to fuel an inferno.
"Arrggghhh, Mom that's exact…"
Ring Ring.
Gwen's cell-phone rang an official very nostalgic ring. Her mother picked it up, "Lily Tennyson, who is it?" she inquired.
"Oh shit, not you, where the hell is Gwen?" as soon as she heard the voice her face flushed. She seemingly wanted to break something.
"It's you! How dare you call my daughter?"
"You mean, my Wife?" with a capital 'W'. (A/N:lolol)
"You mean, your EX-wife?" Lily spat.
"NO…" he belated the utterance of the word, sounding playful and subtle at the same instant, "My Wife."
"She is not your wife." Lily scolded.
"Damn right she is, now give her the phone!" Kevin had way more than enough of her patter.
"You will have to kill me to talk to her!" She poured the words into the phone amalgamated with hatred and resent.
"Which I will gladly do." She could sense his devious smirk completing itself.
"You are despicable." Her rage was profound.
"Well…" he sought words desperately but failed, "… Well, you are a BI…"
Gwen saw her mom taking the cell off her ear and staring it with disgust. Gwen knew it was Kevin and she pretty sure that he did not say a very pleasant word to end the conversation. Her mother was incensed. She took the phone from her and put it to her ear, "What do you want, Kevin?"
"Oh thank God, that long-tongued daemon is gone, thank the Almighty God!" Kevin mocked, but one can clearly feel the indignation for the woman in his voice.
"She is my mother, Kevin. Be nice." Her voice gave a feeling of amity rather than enmity. She did want to enkindle another argument.
"Nice!?" Kevin laughed, "Gwen, there is no such thing as nice in your mom's dictionary!" Gwen pressed her eyes inwardly when she heard the immature comment. She always wanted him to grow up but he never did. And if he did, he never acted like it.
"OK, Gwen. You tell me! What the hell did I ever do to her huh?" he asked curiously.
"You mean besides hitting Ken with a baseball bat on our wedding day in front of all our relatives…?" she was not finished, "oh, and calling her CRAZY OLD WITCH in front of all those people…? Nothing really. " Gwen said all of it in a single breath before passing a death-glare to her mom who was listening to the phone very closely.
"Hey, that wasn't my fault. He provoked me and… and what about your mom smart mouthing me in front of all the guests? I couldn't have stayed quiet." The boy defended as if it really mattered. Gwen sighed. "Gwen that was a long time ago. She practically wants me to die, she wouldn't let me talk to your dad, she denounces me in front of everyone she could get her hands on, Hell, I'm pretty sure this divorce crap was her idea…!" Gwen kept silent.
Kevin derived something from Gwen's silence.
"Oh, SHIT…" Kevin chuckled in between the words, "It really was her, wasn't it? Oh my friggin' God, I'm gonna kill her. Gwen lock her up in a safe place or there's no telling what I do." Gwen wanted to laugh but she couldn't. She always wondered how he made her laugh so easily. People told her she smiled less, but listening to him and his childish patter, made her bloom even if she resisted it. She stopped him," Shut up, Kevin."
"Hey Lily! ARE YOU LISTENING? YOU ANCIENT WORTHLESS PIECE OF DEAD-MEAT!" Kevin shouted so that she could hear him, "I'm comin' after you!"
"Bring it on, you overgrown ape!" a smile crept upon Gwen's face and her mother saw it. She shook her head in disappointment as she got back to dishes.
"Mommy! What color is Nebraska?" Evy called out.
"Dad! Tell her!" Gwen shouted back, keeping one hand on the phone covering it.
He replied, "I did, but she won't believe me!" she heard another scream, "He doesn't know, Mommy!"
Gwen was losing it. "Mom, help me out here, please. "Lily nodded with her frowned face and left the kitchen, "Evelyn, what did I tell you…" her voice trailed off.
"Ugh! Kevin what is it you want? I'm not exactly in the mood right now."
"Hey, don't rush me… I prepared this the whole night." She heard a ruffling of paper.
"O… Kay." She said.
Kevin cleared his throat and started cautiously," So Gwen did you hear about the 'life-mate' thing?" he was very cautious, knowing the volatility of the situation.
"Yes, I've been receiving letter after letter for the past whole month from an "Anonymous person", stating that I am not completely divorced and can get back with Kevin. He seemed awfully interested in getting me and you together. How coincidental?" her voice reeked of sarcasm.
"OK, I sent them; you don't have to be a smart-ass!" Kevin had realized it even before she spoke. "Anyways, what do you say, you and me … Owhh!" he hit something and started howling, "My foot … my foot … aaaahhh!"
Meanwhile, Gwen heard a noise outside the house, she was too busy searching for the source to realize Kevin's howls of pain, and she suddenly noticed, "Oh sorry, I was distracted. Are you okay?" she said still scanning the outside.
"It's stuck… my foot is stuck!" as he tried to get his foot out, Gwen heard noises coming from the backyard.
Her eyes moved left to right until they caught a burn mark on the grass. It seemed to be left in the wake of a space-craft and the three circles of the burnt drawing were connected by three smaller ones. That looks like the thrusters of Centaurian transport cruiser, she thought. She knew that much after spending 6 years with Kevin.
"Hey, wait a minute." Gwen reflected, "You are here?"
A/N: Sooo, this is the divorce situation… they are not very mature neither is their divorce but I still don't think they'll get back together: P you have to make me think that with REVIEEEEWWWWSSS!!
Ooh! And next chapter is gonna be really funny 'cuz, Kevin + Lily + Gwen's House = Bad bad Mojo XD
