Girl's Night
Gin's POV
It's been five days since I put an offer on the house. I heard back three days ago. Tomorrow Amira and I get to move in. Our rooms and the living room are set up. The kitchen is stocked. Amira is so excited about the move. Anyway, Elena thought it'd be good to have a girls night. Sort of moving out party for Amira and I. Amira is really excited, it'll be her first girls night. Though Elena promised me there will be no alcohol.
Anyway, Amira woke me up wanting pancakes. While she ate, Jenna rants to me about Ric. Apparently they are have troubles. As he is keeping secrets. I feel guilty, for knowing them and not telling her. But it's not my story to tell and I don't want her involved in the supernatural life.
Speaking of the supernatural life. I've been doing research on witches and warlocks. Trying to find some sort of weakness. So that I can protect Amira and myself from them. So far, no luck. They are mortal and can die. But the trick is getting one to stand still long enough to kill them. Kind of hard when they have magic on their side. Apparently some spells require a lot of concentration. So if I can distract one long enough, I could kill one with a gun. But I really hope Amira and I never have to face an enemy witch or warlock.
"Aunt Gin" Elena says. I look at her and the other girls.
"Chinese food or pizza?" Caroline asks.
"I'm not fussed, Amira?" I ask.
"Chinese!" she cheers and we all chuckle.
"Like you had to ask" Elena says jokingly. Care says she'd get it and picks up her tablet. But freezes when she sees the picture of her and Matt. Bonnie says she'll do it and takes the tablet from her. "Do you believe that Jonas is being sincere?" she asks Bonnie.
"I don't know what to believe. I think he's at a loss. He's not sure who to trust" Bonnie states.
"Join the club" Elena tells her.
"Well, what are we going to do about this movie situation? What about "The Notebook"?" Care asks.
"No" Amira says.
"Caroline, how many times have you seen that movie?" Elena asks her.
"That is so not the point" Care states.
"I say we let Amira decide" I state. Elena agrees. While Bonnie finishes ordering our food as Jenna appears. "Hi twin of mine" I say with a smile. As Elena says 'hey'.
"What's going on?" Jenna asks.
"My first girls night!" Amira squeals. I smile at my daughter, glad she is happy.
"How are you doing?" Elena asks Jenna.
"You heard about my fight with Ric" Jenna says looking at me.
"Sorry, she was concerned" I say sheepishly.
"He feels terrible" Elena tells her.
"Is this some kind of disguised attempt to cheer me up?" Jenna asks Elena and I.
"Apparently it's a send off for me, I think Elena wants to push me out of the house" I state.
"I don't" Elena states and I laugh. "This is about us girls hanging out and you know, we'll be here if you happen to want to talk" she clarifies.
"Because I am a winner when it comes to successful relationships" Care states.
"You to?" Jenna asks.
"You have no idea" Care tells her.
"Okay then" Jenna states. joining us. "It's this whole Isobel thing. He's hiding something from me" she tells us.
"To play devil's advocate, maybe there is a great reason why he's not telling you. Maybe he is just trying to protect you" Care tells her.
"Well, that's not his call to make. I mean, I deserve the truth. Everybody does" Jenna states.
"Sometimes it's harder than that" I tell her.
"Not if it's somebody you care about, it isn't" she states.
"You know what we need? Dancing. There is a band at the Grill" Care suggests.
"Yes, dancing!" Amira cheers.
"We're in" I state. Bonnie, Elena and Jenna say they are in. Caroline claps her hands with delight. We go to the grill in two different cars. But arrive at the same time. We go in and Amira needs the loo. "We'll be right back" I tell the girls and take Amira to the girls room.
When we return to the girls. Care and Jenna had disappeared. "Where are Care and Aunt Jenna?" Amira asks.
"Jenna is getting a drink and Care is on stage" Elena says pointing to it. I look up to see Caroline compelling the lead singer. The band starts to play as Jenna rejoins us. Care sings Eternal Flame. When she finishes, Matt gets onto the stage and kisses her. Bonnie and Elena cheer. I smile, happy for Caroline.
"Mum, I'm tired" Amira says with a yawn. I look at the time.
"I'm gonna take Amira home, will you guys be ok?" I ask.
"We'll be fine, I'll get the food" Jenna tells me. I nod my head. I hug her and Elena. Before leaving with Amira. We get back to the house and I carry her to our room.
"I'm so tired" she mumbles.
"You've been real busy the last few days with helping me pack" I state. "Sleep Amira, we moze tomorrow" I remind her.
"I'll miss sharing a room with you mum" she mumbles.
"If you ever need me, you know where to find me" I remind her. I kiss her forehead. "Sweet dreams" I tell her as she drifts off to sleep. I decide to check our stuff. Make sure everything is packed for tomorrows move. Going through the check list again. Suddenly my phone rings, I frown and answer it.
"You need to get your daughter and get out of the house right now" Damon tells me.
"How did you get my number?" I demand.
"No time for explanations, get Amira and leave the house. A vengeful warlock is on the loose targeting Elena" he tells me and hangs up. I curse and run upstairs. I pick up Amira and head downstairs, trying to think where can I go. Then decide the Lockwood house, Carol won't mind. I strap Amira in and drive to the Lockwood house.
"Gin" Carol says confused when she answers the door.
"Hi Carol, think we could stay the night? Jenna is going through a rough patch with Ric and I wanted to give her some space" I state.
"Of course, you're family. Come in" she says.
"Heard from Tyler?" I ask.
"No, I am so worried" she tells me. "But Liz is looking for that Jules person" she states.
"Good, hopefully she'll lock her up" I state. She shows me to a room and I tuck Amira in.
"Want a drink?" she asks. I agree and we go to our late husbands study. To have his bourbon. "So any new men in your life?" she asks.
"Nope, my focus is Amira. Making sure she is safe and happy, I don't need some guy coming into our lives and complicating them" I tell her.
"She could use a father figure" she tells me.
"Yeah, look at how that turned out" I remind her. "I gave Mason a chance and he blew it" I state.
"Yeah, well Mason was an idiot" she tells me. "You've done an amazing job with Amira, but you're allowed to find someone" she states.
"Maybe, when Amira is older" I tell her. We continue to talk and drink. Before deciding to call it a night. I get a text from Elena, saying the warlock had been dealt with and we could come home. But I told her Amira is asleep and we'd be back tomorrow morning for our stuff. She understood. I joined Amira on the bed and called it a night.
