Silvy
After we got dressed Goof insisted I have breakfast with him here at the club. I didn’t want to have to deal with skanks this early in the morning. I told Goof I would grab something on the way home. But Goof wasn’t having it. He wanted to make sure I had a proper breakfast not something from a drive-thru. He assured me that I wouldn’t have to deal with any nasty skanks. The ones that handle breakfast are like Gretchen. Easy going and doesn’t want trouble. And if the skanks bother me he promised to handle it. That and he said there was bacon. So I caved and let him walk me downstairs to the kitchen. I have never been to this part of the club before.
I was shocked at how big it was. The kitchen was spotless so that was a plus. It had two large stoves that looked like they belonged in a restaurant, not a clubhouse. Two side-by-side fridges I have always wanted. One has a large label on it that simply states ‘Kids.’ Not hard to guess what kinds of things might be in there. The long counter was loaded with different foods and one bunny standing at one of the stoves cooking something.
As soon as we walk in Ace jumps up from his chair at a small table. “ Goof, what the hell? Silvy shouldn’t be on her feet.” Ace grumbled. Ace puts an arm around my waist “ Come on, sweety. Goof will get you something to eat while you rest in my chair.” I laugh as Ace escorts me to the chair he just abandoned. “ Ace, I’m fine. I haven’t been on my feet long. I stay on my feet much longer than this at work. No need to fuss.” I said. “ Yes, there is. You are one of us. Uncle Ace is going to make a fuss.” he said as he pulled out the chair and helped me sit. Not that I needed it.
“ Ace, that is super sweet of you. And if I were one of you this would be great but I’m not so.” I just left it in the air. Ace ignores what I said and barks at Goof “ Why are you just standing there? Get this momma some food.” Goof just shakes his head. “ Easy Ace, I am going to grab her coffee and juice.” Goof laughs. “ Goof, Ace, you don’t need to do this,” I said. “ Yes, he does,” Ace said. He turned to Goof who was now at one of those K-Cup coffee pots and says “ And that better be decaf. Silvy doesn’t want the little one doing somersaults in her belly because you made it hyper.”
“ Ace, you know I know the drill. We have been through enough pregnancy’s with these girls, both know that they can have one cup of regular coffee a day. I even spoke with Silvy’s doctor about it.” Goof said. “ Good that you pay attention,” Ace said. Ace turned his attention back to me. “ As for you little lady, since when are you not one of us? Since when are you, not family.” Ace asks. “ Ace, you know I love the club and most of its members but I’m not one of them,” I told him. Goof sets down my juice while he gets my coffee ready. “ Silvy how long have we known each other?” Ace asks. I don’t even have to think. I know the exact day I met Ace.
“ Since the day Lilly was admitted to the ICU,” I said. Ace shivers like a chill went down his spine. It happens every time he thinks about that day. “ That’s right so you by now not to argue with me. I said you are family, so that is the end of it.” Ace says. He is right. Arguing will do no good. I was sipping the coffee Goof gave me. He fixed it just the way I like it. He was fixing me a plate of food and looked over his shoulder asking “ Babe, are you still doing salsa and sour cream? Or did that pass?” This man knows me way too well.
“ Still on it,” I said. “ On it,” he said. After a minute Goof comes over with two plates in his hands. He sets mine down first. He gave me bacon, sausage, hash browns and toast. He even chopped it up for me because he knows I’m going to mix it all up. His is the same except he has eggs. “ Did you take all the eggs boy? Why doesn’t Silvy have any?” Ace growled. “ Easy Ace. Goof knows they make me nauseous.” I said. Ace nods and takes a drink of his coffee. I kiss Goof on the cheek “ Thanks.” “ Your welcome, babe. Now eat up,” he said.
I take a bite when I hear a pan bang on the stove. I look up at the skank and she looks mad for some reason. I grab my coffee when Ace asks “ Problem, May?” The skank turns around and crosses her arms over her chest. What is her problem? “ Yeah Ace, I have a problem. Goof is bending over backward for her,” she said pointing at me. “ What’s your point?” Ace asked. “ My point is she isn’t worth it. We all know that baby isn’t Goof’s. And when I was upstairs grabbing some hand towels I heard her in Goof’s room banging some guy named Micheal.” May said.
I spit my coffee out across the table. Goof starts laughing. May continues “ Goof I know Silvy is a good friend of the club and you but she was being disrespectful towards you.” Goof laughs harder. Ace shakes his head “ I need to talk to Merigold about getting smarter skanks. The ones we have a few fries short of a happy meal.” I start laughing at that. The skank looks confused. “ Why are you laughing? I’m just looking out for Goof. She doesn’t deserve him. She is just a bitch looking for a daddy for that bastard she is carrying.” May screeched.
Goof suddenly stops laughing. “ Skank, you better watch what you say,” he growls. “ But Goof.” May whimpers. “ But nothing. You will not talk about Silvy that way. Since you seem so worried let me enlighten you. First of all, I know all about what was going on in my room because I was there.” Goof yelled. “ No, some guy named Micheal. He is probably still up there.” May pleaded. “ I’m Micheal you ditz. It is my real name. And only Silvy uses it.” Goof said. “ Another thing Silvy is looking at me to be the baby’s daddy because I am the daddy. That baby she is carrying is mine. And I know it is mine because we spent months trying to conceive it. So don’t you dare call my baby a bastard?” Goof yells.
He has stood up at this point leaning over the table. If I didn’t know Goof so well I could swear he would go after May. Goof isn’t like that. None of the male members are. They will never lay their hands on a woman no matter how despicable they are. “ No. I didn’t know it was your baby. We all just assumed the guy left her and was latching on to you.” May whimper. Goof slams his hands down on the table. “ You didn’t know because it was none of your business. You are a skank you have no right to know what I do in or out of this club. And you have no right to judge a friend of the club that has been with us for years. Someone we all trust and care for. Someone who is above you.” Goof yells.
That is not the only thing that happened during Goof’s yelling. He just let the cat out of the bag about us. He claimed the baby as his in front of an important club member. I look over at Ace to see his reaction to what Goof has said. Ace has his eyes glued to Goof and he looks pissed. This is getting out of hand quickly. I place my hand on Goof’s arm. “ Goof, calm down. Please.” I get no response from him. He is giving May a death glare. “ Micheal” I yelled. That worked.
He snaps his head towards me. “ Calm down. Please. Let’s just sit and eat. Don’t let the skank ruin our morning. We were having such a good morning.” I said. Goof relaxes his stance. He sits down beside me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. “ You are right babe. I’m sorry,” he said. I smiled up at him “ It’s fine. I understand.” My stomach chose that moment to growl. Ace snapped his head towards me “ Eat. Don’t let a skank keep you from eating.” “ Aye, you should listen to da.” I look up and see a very pissed-off Ailee. I watch Ace calm down instantly. “ Princess, I didn’t expect to see you until later,” Ace said.
Ailee points a finger at me “ Eat.” Then she smiles at Ace “ I thought I would come by early for coffee with you. And it looks like I came at a perfect time. It looks like some skanks need a reminder of their place.” May starts to shake. She knows she fucked up. Big time if Ailee is involved. “ Ailee let me get you some coffee,” Ace said. Ailee shakes her head “ I have it. And stop glaring at Goof. You can talk to him later.” Ailee walks over to the coffee pot. As she gets it ready she looks over at Goof and says “ I think it is time you talk to all your brothers. Don’t you?” Shit now they are all going to know.
Fuck my life. It used to be so simple. How did it get so complicated? Oh, I know. When I asked Goof for his help and started to feel things for him I kept him locked up. There is no turning back now. I will just have to see how this is going to play out. I just hope the brothers don't give him too much shit. It wasn't all Goof's doing. But I know he is going to have some explaining to do. They already know some of the story he is just going to have to fill in the gaps. And tell his side. So much for keeping this to ourselves.
