Vini and the guys were just finishing up their chat when she spotted a familiar form across the parking area. She was angled so she could see through the gap in the building.
She stopped talking mid sentence and really concentrated; here eyes had to be playing tricks on her. She was not seeing this, she couldn't be seeing this. She must be having a hallucination. She saw the distinctive tattoo snaking up the arm of the man she loved; the arm that was draped over someone else.
Slash and Flirt were confused at her sudden turn in character.
"Vini what's wrong? What are you looking at" Slash said as he angled round to try and see what she was seeing. He growled low and rose from his chair. He came towards Vini and ushered her up from her seated position.
Flirt had looked by this point "what the fuck" he snarled.
Vini felt her heart breaking, Storm was in a parked golf cart and what looked like a goddess had her hands on his chest and her lips locked with his.
Her breasts were pushed up against him and he didn't seem to be pushing her away.
She stumbled through the side entrance and into the gallery; fury was building inside of her. They have never said they were exclusive but you don't fuck someone's brains out then go onto the next.
When he said he would come later she didn't expect to find him kissing someone else FUCK Vini swore silently.
She schooled her breathing and faced the guys, "I'm ok, I'm ok" she said while smoothing her hair back.
"Lavinia I don't know what that male is doing, we thought he had mated you" Slash said in a calming voice. Flirt and Slash looked ready to kill.
She turned to face them, her chest hurt making it hard to breathe "What the fuck does mated mean? Does it mean taking advantage of someone and then fucking them over" she shouted.
Ok, maybe I'm not ok "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Just leave me alone for a minute please" she said as she walked to the exit again.
She went back to the seating area and tried to find Storm again, he was gone; the golf cart was still there so she guessed he had come inside. Fuck him
She lit a cigarette and took a few forceful drags; practically spitting as she blew the smoke out. She paced the small area and lit another cigarette.
Calm down, clam down, calm down She said in a mantra. She had bared her soul to Storm, she had made love to him, given him a part of her heart. I let him smell Sam.
She was disturbed from her arduous thought by the sounds of grunting and raised voices. What the hell is going on now she thought.
"Move aside or I will move you" said Storm in a deadly voice.
"Do not go near her, do you have any idea what you have done. I am ashamed to be your kin; you and Kitt" Flirt snarled.
Vini peeked round the corner and looked at Storm, his imposing figure and the fact he looked so wild was a total turn on. The fact he had just been snogging someone else was like a cold blast of water going straight down her back.
Who the fuck does he think he is she thought, she might be a bit emotionally unstable but one thing Vini wasn't, was weak and she was going to tear him a new one.
She pushed through the door and went to Flirts side. Storm saw her and smiled did he just fucking smile she seethed.
"Vini Its not what it looked like, Kitt wanted to share sex and would not take no for an answer" he pleaded.
"So you just decided to have a snog instead then?" Vini shrieked, her voice wasn't her friend when she was angry and her accent became a touch fish wifey.
"No I would never, Lavinia you are my mate, I would never willingly touch another female. Please come here" he said from between clenched teeth.
Vini straightened her shoulders and looked him in the eye "You know what mate means where I come from" she said "it means friend, you have lots of mates. You go out with your mates, you have a laugh with your mates but you don't fucking fuck your mates, have them fall in love with you and then fuck them over" the last part was shouted which surprised Vini. She needed to calm down before she lost her temper completely.
"Is that what I am just a bloody mate?" she sobbed.
She felt like a knife was cutting into the heart and that made her bloody angry.
"Well well well if it isn't the trouble maker British female" Kitt had entered the room and was obviously listening to this whole exchange. She casually strolled up the group and pushed her chest out.
"Can you not control yourself human, you know you're not very lady like" she sneered. She looked Vini up and down and gave a smirk.
Lavinia's "are you bloody kidding me meter" burst. She stalked up to Kitt and full pelt slapped her around the face.
All eyes were on Vini and Kitt, Kitt held her face and glared at Vini "You will regret that human" she shouted as she prepared to slap her back.
"Do not touch her Kitt; you are the cause of this. Go away now and don't ever come near my mate again" Storm thundered as he came beside Vini.
He turned to Vini and tried to embrace her, she stood as still as a board.
Suddenly nothing seemed better than getting in her car and driving away. She wanted to get away from all of this; especially Storm.
