 Blonde&Proud Sirius Sense of humor
Julia, who was about to open her mouth and add more to her last statement, jumped slightly as Vince turned to her with genuine disbelief written on his lightly tanned features, suggesting that she couldn't have been serious. She remained silent, jaw still clenched slightly though light brown eyes uncertain as the boy at her side continued to remind her that he pratically lived at the resort just so she could have enough money for her dresses and expensive shoes; that he'd even screwed up the relationship he'd had with his parents just to be with her. Taken aback, Julia didn't seem to have words as she watched Vince turn away from her, her blonde eyebrows furrowing just slightly as his words rang through her ears. She'd never heard all of that before. Granted, she'd suggested less obviously that he didn't care before and he'd just shrugged it off or mentioned something similar to this with less than half of the emotion. But now... Well, she'd never just heard it straight out like that, hadn't necessarily been confronted by all of these things at once, and she felt the strangest sensation in the pit of her stomach...
What was that? Ugh, it was annoying! Just...sitting there and festering and growing inside of her as she watched her boyfriend turn away from her with stress written on his features. And then, moments later, she realized it was guilt. What was that doing there!? It was horrible... Of course she'd felt guilty before in her lifetime but not in a long, long time, not with her Vinciepoo treating her like a princess and catering to her every need like it wasn't a problem. But it was now that she was forced to reflect on all of the horrible moments she'd looked over before in the past few years; of how they didn't visit the Vincenzi mansion quite as much anymore, of how stressed Vince's expression got when she bought something new or brought home ten shopping bags.
And this all happened in a split second, staring ahead of herself silently before she returned her gaze to the man at her side and scooted closer to him just a bit in her seat, slipping her tanned hand into his own beneath the table. Now it's not to say that Julia's whole personality and greed sort of just poofed away in that one second. No, nothing like that. But Vince's words had brought her to a place of reflection that she hadn't anticipated and forced her into a silence. She was a greedy girlfriend with a spoiled nature, but...she wasn't heartless. And it was just now beginning to dawn on her that perhaps all of her shopping habits might be honestly upsetting to the young man who had oddly become very important to her.
