" why this house. " Gwen asked Jessica to distract herself from the hurt which Vince put her in. He said that in the heat of the moment but she will be dumb to discard it after all. It was things said in anger or in quarrel that matters. It makes you realise the person truly feelings.
All she was to Vince was a property, why should she be surprised. That was all she was to Gerald, her ex, too. Nothing but a trophy.
Jessica look at her with sadness. " this house is close to Las Vegas but far away that if supernatural stuff starts happening, humans will still be unaware. "
" we are close to Las Vegas. I would totally love to see the city . " Gwen said.
" no, I am not going to cover for you if you chose to go. Vince will simply kill me, regardless of the fact that I his sister. He wouldn't really care about that as he strangles me. " Jessica said as she shook her head in refusal.
" but... " Gwen started.
" you are having a quarrel with your mate and although it is my fault, I wouldn't expand it more by giving you ammunition against him. "
" and this decision of yours doesn't have to do with the fact that he is your brother. " Gwen asked with her hands folded across her chest.
" no, but it has everything to do with my guilty conscience. Don't punish him too much for a slip of tongue. " Jessica said.
"Jessica, you are a lady. How can you not get offended with me about what he said. " Gwen said exasperated.
" because I remembered that he was born in a time where men were regard as humans and women had little to no right. " Jessica said with a sad smile. " I am not angry because I was also born during that time. "
Some of Gwen anger faded but she still continued. " that was centuries ago. The world has evolved now and tell me that you don't know this. Tell me that you don't think that he has evolved with it. "
" he has but not with a lot of changes. He is still old fashioned, archaic even but you shouldn't fault him for this. "
" exactly. " Courtney said as she join them by the pool in her bikinis.
" I wish that I could wear bikinis like you two. " Gwen said looking at Courtney dressing.
" we can protect ourselves, you can not and you will drive Vince insane. He is already going insane about the number of skin you are showing. " Courtney said as she sat down.
" I am still angry with him. No more talking about anything related to Vincent. "
" does that mean that I cannot talk about my life. " Jessica asked.
" you know what I mean. " Gwen said as Jessica laughs.
" I do, I just want to give you a hard time. "
Courtney looks at Gwen in a way that made Gwen uncomfortable but she still didn't shift her gaze. " what. " Gwen asked Courtney.
" you are a child. " Courtney announced although she looked around the same age as Gwen.
Gwen understood what Courtney was driving at. " I am a child but only with you guys. So. "
" so, that means you are also a child where Vince is. He is a primordial and just because you two are fated to be doesn't mean that you two will be the perfect fit when you meet. No, it just means that after many shaping, you two will get there. "
Jessica gasps. " look at you, giving relationship advice. "
" would you be serious for once. " Courtney snaps at Jessica.
" I am serious. " Jessica said offended. "this is the first time that you are doing that"
" it is okay. So you say that I should forgive him so that we will make the perfect mated match... " Gwen started.
" you mistook my point. What I meant was that you are a child where as he is old. What he has experience, you have not... " Courtney started.
" so that gives him the right to say that am a property. " Gwen asked with raised eyebrows.
" he didn't mean it. " Courtney said.
" maybe , maybe not, but that doesn't change the fact that he said it. "Gwen said with a shrug as she turned her face away.
Courtney frowned at Vince mate who was proving to be stubborn. She could see that she was the perfect for Vince since she is able to stand her ground with two primordials arguing about something she should have consented to. All she is doing is hurting Vincent and herself. Courtney opened her mouth to try and conVince the Vampire before her that Vince never meant his words like that but Jessica stopped her by putting a hand on her arm.
" somebody hurt you before, didn't they? " Jessica asked as Gwen eyes widens in shock. Jessica continued. " the person made you less trusting and more bitter and he really did a number on you. Somehow what Vince said triggered the memories of what he did to you and that is why you are taking it out on Vince. "
Gwen closed her eyes as she shivered, Jessica managed to hit the nail on the head with a staggering precision. When she nodded her head to indicate that Jessica was right, Courtney made a sound as she got up and walked to the other side of Gwen so that she was flanked by two primordials.
" oh honey, what did he do. " Jessica asked in a gentle voice.
" he made me a trophy wife. All I was a trophy to him. And I loved him but he didn't even love me. He was just trying to control me throughout our relationship and I let him because I was so in love. " Gwen said then sniffs as she continues. " the worst thing was that I didn't know until after I was dead. He got what he wanted. "
" what do you mean. " Courtney asked.
" I was turned into a vampire in a dark alley on my way home from work, I let him borrow my car that day. When I could think clearly after a couple of weeks. I blocked my nose and breathed through my mouth when necessary and I broke out of the compound to see him. " Gwen let out a harsh laughter. " the bastard was having a party and fucking two girls at the same time on a bed I brought with my money. The party was all on me because I made him my next of kin, then he started to tell them the high he got from controlling me and I lost it. I attacked him but I couldn't do any real damage, vampires came and drag me away. I was sent to live in another state compound and there I tried to forget everything but I couldn't. I was just a means to get high, a trophy for him. " Gwen spat out as she cleans her face from tears which fell as light red color from her face.
When she saw that Jessica and Courtney was speechless, and she saw the look of pity they were giving her, she stood up. She couldn't take it anymore.
Vince might be her mate but still that didn't mean that he couldn't hurt her with careless words. " I need to go inside, girls. Thanks for a relaxing afternoon. " she said as she quickly turned and ran inside. When the door closed shut and she saw Vince looking at her she just duck her head and went to her room. She was not in the mood to talk with anyone.
