Amoureux du Vampire

Bullshit

Papillon POV

It would be nice if my life could be easy for once. Just once ... I wish everything and everyone would just fall into place.

No complications.

No drama.

No bullshit.

But that's not my life.

Fuck!

I walk out to Aria's sunroom and sit. She tells Jacques to 'wait' but he doesn't listen. He sits next to me, touches my arm and smiles.

"Congratulations, Ari tells me you having twin babies."

Yeah thanks ...

"Jacques wait, I don't think you need to tell her."

"Yeah I do."

I sigh.

Yup, some more bullshit.

Jacques rubs his bruised face. There are scratches on his neck and it looks like a cut on his chest. He's bleeding through his shirt. Aria is pacing.

"Papi ..."

"Jacques, she don't need any stress."

Um I'll decide what's stressful. You two are pissing me off, just freaking tell me.

Aria stops walking, her face looks pained. They are both quiet.

Just tell me!

"Hope threw me out."

HaHaHa ... looks like she kicked your ass while doing it. Hmph, what does that have to do with me? I don't care about your relationship, and you drove to Savannah, why?

" .... Well."

He stands back up and looks at Aria, she shakes her head.

I don't know what you two are on, but I don't have time for it. I just stopped by to hang for a bit Ari, my husbands will be home soon. I'm sure you will be fine Jacques. I know she can patch you up, or something. I want no part of this sideshow. Bye Bye.

I stand up.

Jacques touches my arm again. He looks worried, but I start walking toward the door.

He follows me with Aria right behind him.

"Papillon it's Hope ... she, she's snapped."

Yeah all over your face. HaHaHa

"This is actually serious Papillon. Please hold on."

"Papillon listen to him. Listen!"

Jesus, what does this have to do with me? I haven't seen or talked to you in ages.

"She thinks I'm in love with you. And ..."

What?

"She knows I still ... I do still care for you Papi. Ma sweet Papillon I still love you, I do. I not help it ma cherie, ya in ma soul."

Don't start that Patois with me. You left me remember? After I told you I was pregnant. You were an ass, did you forget about that shit? Why are you telling me this now while I'm married, expecting babies that are wanted, and happy? I'm not entertaining this bull. Fuck ... move.

I try to open the door and Jacques grabs my arm.

Excuse you!

"Papi listen. I told you she snapped ... after she loose our baby she change. She in my head, Papi she know you in there too. Now Hope ... she left yesterday and I don't know what she gonna do. I worry for ya Papi."
