"Suck it in Cathrin, this zip is not going to close unless you help it!"
"Not all of us were blessed with the figure of a child Ava! Just wait till you give birth, then we'll see if your old dresses fit." Ava gave the zip one final tug before flopping back on the bed.
"There is your issue, you had children. I will never make that mistake!" Cathrin scowled at her and fruitlessly tried to inch the zip up.
"When Gellert finally decides to make an honest woman out of you..."
"Which will never happen, we are happy with our life exactly the way it is. We have no need for marriage." Ava whispered the last word with disgust, "Just because you and Niklas decided to go down that road doesn't mean we wish to. Besides we're as good as married..."
"A failed blood experiment when you were no older than 16 doesn't constitute marriage Ava." Ava shrugged at her old friend and stood up off the bed, smoothing down the silk of her gown,
"In some cultures the sharing of one's blood is vital to a marriage bond."
"Well yes, but you were trying to find a way to make you both immortal and that didn't work did it?"
"Well no-one has tried to kill us..."
"Yet." Ava shot her a dark look before turning to the mirror, she felt like her mother at times like this,
"Ava aren't you girls ready yet?" Gellert threw her bedroom door open only to stand agape looking at the woman before him, the soft pale green of gown highlighted her lightly tanned skin wonderfully, the silk clung to her hips and flared out into a floor length puddle. "Ava, you look wonderful." Realising that the pair seemed to have forgotten about her, Cathrin slipped from the room and closed the door behind her with a soft click.
Gellert pressed his lips to Ava's exposed neck as she weakly tried to push him away, a smile playing along her painted lips, "Gellert, we have guests waiting,"
"They can wait."
AN: More to come real soon! promise!
