Disclaimer: Again no dice. I don' own any of the Blood and Chocolate characters.
Vivian snapped out of her musings when she saw out of the corner of her eye Tomas reach out and brush back her mother's hair with his fingertips. Vivian felt a deep crack of hurt somewhere inside and anger when her mother giggled.
What an ass. Sure be all cute now but who knows how he'll get when he feels that he is inside our safety net, Vivian thought.
But what really bothered her was she couldn't remember her mom ever being this way with her dad. Before she had been too busy with Aiden and the things happening with the pack to notice how close her mom and Tomas where getting but she dismissed the thought of saying something almost immediately. He was one of them so anything happening that shouldn't wouldn't be tolerated by the Alpha. She hadn't seen much of him lately since all of the happenings. What little of him she had seen had been his brief hello and goodbye while he ushered his little triplet sisters out the front door and the orders that where barked to Ulf to help them set up. She felt a smidgen of hurt thinking of how warm and safe she had felt and the happy flutter in her stomach when he held her that night that he unstuck her. The night in the woods had been the last but had also been the best. She could still taste the air and feel the way the wind had furrowed her pelt into different channels. She heard the singing in her ears of her kind singing the songs that had been sung in the past millennia to the sentient moon that has hung above that night. The next day everything had been as of before and she thought of how even if it hadn't she would have herself felt funny and defensive about her and Gabriel. She wasn't even sure of where she stood to him. She new that there was heat and passion in them and she was still Queen Bitch but trying to read him felt like drowning.
The next running would be soon since she could feel the tug in her skin. She thought about it for a few moments and decided that she wasn't going to wait to run with the pack. She would go tonight.
Vivian poured her coffee in a mug and added sugar and creamer. She felt the jolt of peace flow all the way to her toes with the first sip. By now Tomas had moved his wandering fingers to her mothers face and it was all Vivian could do not to laugh at the enchanted look on her mothers face.
"Wow, why don't you just get on your knees right now and recite poetry since it seems to be working," said Vivian.
Her mother flashed a look of annoyance and a soft sneer. Tomas smiled and kept right on rolling with the punches.
"Oh I am not the one who ends up on their knees, poetry or not," chuckled Tomas.
"Tomas!" her mother scolded but Vivian couldn't help notice the smile that passed between both of them.
"Way more than I ever wanted to know," Vivian snapped in disgust.
"Well you where the one who started and after all we don't minister judgment on what ever it was that and Gabriel did to free you from your state." Her mom snapped.
Vivian felt a flush start to grow on her face. She smashed the cup down and was awarded with the sound of the cup splintering. Her mother didn't even look up from Tomas's eyes to see what her daughter had cracked this time. Vivian stormed out of the kitchen and headed to the corridor and threw the archway and up all the way back to her safety.
Thank goddess it Saturday, thought Vivian.
She didn't want the prospect of having to wake up early tomorrow hinder her day. Vivian looked around her room. The only things set up where her bed and the nest of clothes that littered the corner. She walked over to it and stripped of the long t-shirt she had slept in with one yank. She stooped over to pick up some underpants and a bra as she glanced at everything else in the heap and tried to find something she would feel comfy in.
So thanks fer anyone readin' this I hope to keep with it.
