Goof
When Silvy called I could tell by her voice that something was wrong. She said the baby and she were fine and I trust her but I know something is off. Especially since she said she would come to the club after her shift instead of me going to her house. Silvy doesn’t come to the clubhouse often and it is usually when we are having a party Merigold and Lilly invited her to. So I have been a little on edge since Silvy hung up. I keep checking my phone watching the time. From the time Silvy hung up the time she should get here is an hour and thirty minutes.
Five minutes before Silvy is due to arrive I instruct the prospect working the bar to make Silvy’s drink. He looks t me oddly at first but does what I ask when I tell him it is for Silvy. Everyone here adores Silvy so it doesn’t surprise me the prospect gets to work. Just before Silvy walks in the door the prospect sets it on the bar next to my beer. When Silvy walks in I know something is wrong. She is smiling but everyone can tell it is fake. And she is tense as hell. That is until she spots me. When Silvy sees me I watch her shoulders drop and her lips give a real smile.
The closer she gets to me the more I see her relax. I make sure I’m turned towards her with my legs spread so she can get between them. When Silvy is in front of me I waste no time grabbing her and pulling her to my chest. Silvy wraps her arms around my waist and buries her head at the top of my chest. I can feel her belly pressed against me. I love it. The only thing better would be if a little bit started kicking me. I place my hands on her back rubbing it. I place my head on top of hers and feel Silvy melt into me.
We sit like that for a minute not saying anything. I know we are getting looks from my brothers. Probably wondering what is going on. But they can wait. I know in my gut Silvy needs this right now. “ Want to talk about it?” I asked keeping my voice low so only Silvy could hear me. I want to know what has her so rattled she is clinging to me. Not that I mind Silvy glued to me. I love it. I want to help with what is bothering her.
“ No. Not yet. Can we just stay like this a little longer?” Silvy mumbles into my chest. “ Babe, you have been on your feet for a twelve-hour shift. How about I grab our drinks and we go over to a table? Then I will hold you as long as you want.” I told her. I will hold Silvy in my arms for the rest of my days if she wants. That is my goal anyway. But I don’t like the idea of her being on her feet after a long shift. I know they have started swelling lately. Being on her feet for so long just makes it worse.
Silvy lifts her head and looks up at me. Even sitting I’m taller than she is. “ Getting off my feet does sound nice,” she said. I let Silvy go “ I have your drink. Do you want something to eat or a snack?” I asked. Silvy shakes her head “ Not right now.” I push her back a little so I can stand up. “ Come on. We will go over to the table in the back.” I said. I turned to grab my beer and Silvy sees a tall glass beside it. She points to it “ For me?” “ I told you I would have a drink ready for you,” I said. She reaches for it but I stop her. “ I got it, babe,” I told her. I grabbed our drinks and motioned with my head for her to follow me.
I see my brothers watching Silvy. Her belly is sticking out quite a bit now. It seems like anytime a woman is pregnant here the brothers always track them. I have caught myself doing the same thing. Just keeping an eye out in case they fall or something. With Pocket, we were all on edge. That poor girl's stomach poked out so far that it affected her balance. Her short stature and carrying twins were not easy on any of us. It got to the point we wouldn’t let her bend over anymore before she almost fell over too many times.
When we get to the table I set our drinks down and grab a chair. I pull it back and have a seat. No, I’m not being an asshole. I grab Silvy’s hand and pull her to me. When she sees what I want to do and shakes her head. “ Goof, I’m a lot heavier now. I might hear your legs.” she said. “ Bullshit. Come sit your fine ass on my lap and let me hold you.” I said. Hurt me? Like hell. I don’t care if she puts on fifty pounds I want my girl in my lap. Silvy bites her lip and nods. I help her to climb up so her ass is on one leg and her legs going over the other. I wrap my arms around her waist and place my hands just above her ass.
Don’t get me wrong I want my hands on her ass. I want to grab a handful but Silvy needs comfort right now. There will be a time for me to have my hands on her. Hopefully naked. I can wait. Silvy leans into my chest and grabs her drink from the table and takes a deep pull. She drinks about a quarter of it before she puts it back down. Silvy leans her head on my shoulder. “ That was perfect. Thank you.” she says.
Keeping a hand on Silvy’s hip I grab my beer with the other. I take a swig and just sit holding my girl. Silvy will talk about the reason she sought me out when she is ready. Until then I’m good where I am. Sitting relaxing with my girl in my arms. “ I’m sorry if I ruined your night,” she said after a few minutes. “ You didn’t ruin anything, babe. I was just going to have a couple of beers and maybe see if I can’t beat Ace at a game of pool. You being here just makes it better.” I told her. Having Silvy with me always makes things better.
I rub circles on her hip. “ I had a rough night at work,” she said. “ It normally doesn’t rattle me but tonight it did.” she continued. Silvy did her best to hide a yawn but I saw it. She has to be exhausted. Yet she still called me. “ What happened?” I asked. Silvy told me about Megan taking her break leaving Silvy alone with the last patient. A guy that gave Silvy the creeps. All she had to do was give him his discharge papers and she could get the guy out of there. He was pissed that he didn’t get any pain medication and started yelling.
Silvy told me Bull showed up and helped her out. After he made sure the guy left he made her sit down and stayed with her until her shift was over. I have met Bull a few times. He is a good guy but not someone I would want to mess with. I have even met the man’s husband. They adore Silvy and keep an eye on her when I’m not there.“ I have dealt with things like this more times than I can count and it never got to me. But tonight it shook me. And I don’t know why.” she yawned.
