Chapter 2: Surfacing Passions
Two months laterβ¦.
Gina was pissed, and smashed the phone down so violently that it resulted in a small crack, before she launched to her feet with the speed of a striking cobra and racing down the corridor for Cristin's room. Anger and adrenalin pumped through her body in hand with her blood. Tension filled her forehead, and anyone who stood between her and her target would most definitely be destroyed.
Scott had not been kind in the way he had broken up with her moments earlier, and now Gina was going for Cristin, intent on making her pay for leaking the infamous tape to Scott and ruining what had been a wonderful and almost perfect relationship.
Gina couldn't believe that after all she had done Cristin had still given Scott the tape, and now, no matter what excuse she may have, Cristin was going down. Gina was not a violent woman, on the contrary, conflict was something she went out of her way to avoid, but what Cristin had now done was unforgivable, and she had to be taught a lesson through pain. Hopefully Cristin would learn not to fuck with people's lives ever again.
Linda was not there to stop her, and Cristin resided in her room, unaware of the approaching danger. Gina threw the door to Cristin's room open with tremendous force, the door stopper the only thing preventing the wall from suffering damage, and instantly Cristin shot up to attention in her bed where she had been taking a nap.
"What's wrong?" Cristin had just enough time to say before Gina yanked her out of bed by the shirt, and for the first time in her life, hit another person, sending Cristin falling back to her bed with a river of blood streaming from her nose.
Cristin screamed, the screams soon turning to cries as she was hit again, this time the blow striking her jaw. With a second violent blow dealt and the sight of Cristin cowering in fear on her bed, tears filling her eyes, Gina took a deep breath and slowly backed off, suddenly ashamed at what she had done, but convincing herself that the woman before her had deserved every bit of pain she had caused her.
"Fucking bitch!" Gina said spitting on her, "I slept with you just like you asked and still you gave Scott the tape! What the hell did you hope to accomplish? Are you trying to ruin my life you fucking whore?"
Cristin struggled to see through the tears in her eyes, but still she looked up at Gina - the woman she had fallen in love with β with sorrow filled eyes, the eyes of someone who had just been punished viciously for a crime she had not committed, "What are you talking about" she managed with much difficulty, "I never gave Scott your stupid tape! Are you out of your mind! I think you broke my nose!"
"Then how did he get it, huh?" Gina screamed, now crying as well, "The fucking tooth fairy gave it to him? Video goblins? Tell me how he got it then!"
Cristin held her nose as blood escaped through her fingers, the once strong and independent woman reduced to a quivering mass of fear. Still, she forced herself to her feet. Gina was ready to defend herself against a retaliatory attack, however the anticipated counterstrike never came, instead Cristin moved over to her computer and with two clicks of the mouse bought up an amateur porn site.
"A friend of mine sent me this link," she reported, still shaking, "She thought she recognized you in one of the new videos. I checked it out and found it was you in the video I had found that day, I don't know how the site got it, but it wasn't from me"
Gina hesitantly moved over to the computer and examined the new additions column on the far right hand side of the screen. Sure enough she found a small picture of her with her ex-boyfriends cock stuffed in her pussy, and a small explanation that accurately described the events from her video. Instantly Gina felt the guilt of what she had done to Cristin wash over her, and at the same time the terror of having a video of her having sex posted on the Internet for all to see.
Cristin stormed out of the room without another word, and at the current time Gina didn't have the guts to stop her. She felt weak and utterly disgusted at herself for lashing out at Cristin without proof that she had done her wrong, and she couldn't stop the sick feeling that now washed over her.
It took her some time to compose herself enough to leave the room, at which time she quickly retreated to her own room and threw herself onto her bed, bursting into tears on impact. Gina pressed her face into her pillow, muffling her sounds of emotional pain, and allowing it to mop her tears as soon as they exited her tear glands.
Gina didn't know where Cristin was now, and hoped she wasn't as physically hurt as she had looked when she last saw her. The fact that she had just violently lashed out at another human being, even with provocation, was against everything she thought she stood for, and thought she believed in. She had now become a monster, a vicious and dangerous creature. Well that was the way she saw it anyway. To let herself stoop to physical violence was something she would not allow herself to do unless it was in a self-defense situation, and those situations were few and far between.
And so she lay there, crying, her pillow hindering her breathing somewhat, her thoughts dwelling on Cristin and what she had just done. There was little debating that she would have to make it up to her somehow, however Gina couldn't think of anything that would make up for her vicious attack on the woman who had actually kept her promise and done no wrong.
The seconds passed and grew into minutes, the minutes passed and before she knew it the light of the day was fading and darkness crept in. When Gina finally forced herself out of bed, almost an hour and a half later, she could hear no signs of life in the house.
On arriving in the kitchen she found it deserted, although a note posted on the fridge with the help of a magnet instantly caught her attention. On closer inspection she found that it was not from Cristin as would be expected, it was from Linda, informing her and Cristin that she would not be home this night, again. Gina wondered why Linda even bothered to come home at all, she was never stayed anyway, and Gina had learnt long ago not to count on her returning at night.
It was approaching dinnertime, a fact that Gina's stomach had alerted her of, so she thought she had better think about dinner. It then occurred to her that she should cook for both her and Cristin tonight, and make it something out of the ordinary as a first step in the apology process.
With this in mind, Gina raided her shelf of cookbooks for a recipe that would be appropriate for the night, and once her quest had turned up what she was looking for she immediately set about making dinner for the two of them.
An hour later Cristin awoke from her the sleep that she had cried herself into, her pillow now wet with tears and a little residual blood. She could hear motion in the kitchen, and thinking that Linda must be home she went to investigate, not wanting to face Gina just yet, but feeling a little more comfortable about facing Linda. Well as comfortable as she could be under the circumstances.
