Heart of ice (a Shivian story)

2. Perfume

Viv sat there alone in her car thinking was that the best option? Siobhan just needed a friend and yet she just left her there. Viv knew what it was like but she couldn't watch the love of her life go through what she went through. She was in her shoes once except  Viv had a village to help her get out whilst Siobhan had no one and  Viv knew that feeling all too well. Tears streaming down her face as she remembers how Siobhan used to look at her. the spark that grew every time they saw each other. She wiped her tears and drove home listening to the playlist they made on the first coffee meeting. She still smelt hints of vanilla and black coffee mixed with other strong rich scents from Siobhan's perfume.

As she was passing the coffee shop they used to sit and talk for hours at the song ended and new one started playing 'the night we met' a Viv found herself pulling over and going into the coffee shop she ordered a black Americano she's never drank one people said it was to bitter but as she slowly sipped it she realised it wasn't all that bitter people didn't give it a chance. Who did that remind her off. Siobhan. she sat in her car listening to music wrapped up in the blanket she covered Siobhan with all the times the blonde fell asleep she smiled at the thought. The cold mean former manager felt comfortable opening up and trusted her.

Meanwhile with Siobhan who sat alone in her car the new car she got from Roger after yet another argument she played with her ring the ring she asked for she asked for it right? She was told that a lot and not just about the ring everyone reminded her. That this is the life she made for herself She didn't want this. she didn't want the man or the money or the expensive items well not anymore she did but it wasn't her fault she just craved the attention maybe she was more like her mother then she wanted to be. The greed the attention the money the older man the cold heart. she was become the woman she hated her whole life

She drove back to what most people would call home Accept it wasn't a home like most would think it it was more of a prison that she was trapped in with a monster. shivers ran down her spine she got out the car and made her way to the door inside was hell she couldn't remember one good memory here she knew Roger would be at golf for at least a couple more hours so she went in prepared dinner Siobhan was always good at cooking and baking because her father was a chef once she's finished making dinner. Siobhan then decided to dance in the refrigerator light with a glass of red because she loves it in the movies how cozy and safe they looked how Involved they were she was envious why couldn't she have that.

Everyone was living their fairytale lives whilst she was stuck in a knightmare...

Suddenly she's pulled out of her thoughts as she hears door creaked open in came the person she feared the most Siobhan was never one to show her emotions however when she feels he's presents her whole mood changes.

After yet another long night of shouting when he finally falls asleep she goes to the bathroom and sits on the cold floor thinking about how different her life would be if she just changed one thing. She gets into her dark green silk pyjamas and sprays some ghost perfume she was never one for it but after she met Viv she smelt it and she felt safe she felt different every time she was with Viv. which is weird because she wasn't into woman right?

Everyday that week  Viv looked for Siobhan she was no where to be seen until she had just dropped Jamie of and was passing the office when she heard a familiar voice. She stood outside the office "Marjorie not everyone wants the romantic fairytale you do okay for some of us it makes us want to vomit" Vivian knew she was lying they watched loads of romantic movies together. was it all a lie?  Vivian didn't know what to say Marjorie and Siobhan keep talking but Viv wasn't paying Any attention.

she walks into the office "Roger wants it to be this year" Siobhan looks at the ring Marjorie looks at Viv who clears her throat "just dropping of a letter" Viv hands it to Marjorie looking Siobhan up and down "Viv" the blonde said softly she hated how distant Viv was but she understood so she just smiled acting like it wasn't affecting her then she felt Viv look at her "Bon-bon" Viv smiled walking out she couldn't look at the ring she had to keep her distance because she knows she can't have the one person who feels like home.
