I may be the president of an MC, but this man is my girl's father, a man she loves more than life itself; I need to respect him if I ever want his girl's heart.
I take a seat next to him and look forward before rasping, making him understand I'm no pussy, "I just claimed your daughter to the whole of my MC, making her my old lady."
He hums, "I thought you might. You look at my Sarah like I look at my wife like she hangs the moon."
I give him a nod, "I won't hurt her, sir."
He smiles and says, "I know you won't, son. Sarah, well, she's special. She always puts her family before herself, always. Even now, she's with her sister while her mother and I have to work. She doesn't date and barely goes out for fun; I think you'll do my daughter good. Just do me a favor." I look at him, and he smiles again as my girl's truck drives down the road. "Be patient with her. She finds it difficult to allow someone into her heart."
I nod as Sarah pulls into the driveway. "And how will I know when she does let me in because, sir, she's already in mine."
Gerry squeezes my shoulder, rasping, "She will let you near the one person who holds her heart most—Mary," then gets up and walks inside the house as I tilt my head at my girl. I see her swallow hard, knowing I most likely got her dad's approval before getting out of her truck, then head my way. She's wearing a pair of tight skinny jeans that hug her ass nicely and a pair of flats, finishing her look off with a tank top and my buttoned-down top, making me smile. As soon as she's sitting next to me, I place my arm around her shoulders, her head instantly going to my shoulder.
We look onto the street for a little while before I speak, breaking the comfortable silence.
"I'm mad at you, Spitfire," she hums as I start to play with her curled hair that's down her back, "Not only did you give me something fucking special without any warning so I could go slower with you, but you snuck out."
She shrugs, "You looked peaceful."
I snort, "That's bullshit, and you know it. You were scared. You gave me your virginity; you gave me a piece of you, and it scared you because you don't want to lose someone else you could love with your whole heart."
She snorts, gripping my black tank under my open dark blue buttoned shirt covered by my cut, "You and my sister are two peas in a pod."
I grin, "I take it she said the same thing."
She nods before looking at me. I see the vulnerability, which makes my eyes soften before my heart races at her words, "I am scared. You have the ability to destroy me; no one has ever managed to get close because of how much I keep my heart closed off, but you're wiggling your way through, and it scares me."
I sigh before leaning forward, kissing her forehead before rasping, "You have to let me in, Sarah. Waking up with you gone this morning was fucking hard. I need you in my arms, but you keep pushing me back. I want you to let me in so I can hold you tight and help you through whatever you need me for. Please just let me in because, baby, you're not the only one who's falling, and you're not the only one who is scared. And you walk out after Helena threatened you? That's not ok, baby; you should have told a brother immediately." She sniffles a little, making me hold her tighter as she rasps, "I'm sorry I left," making me nod my head and kiss her forehead. "She's now gone, kicked out of the club; she won't be a problem, but baby, you and I, we will start to have them if you keep pushing me away."
She sniffles again, knowing it's the truth before she moves her head but keeps her body pressed against mine. She grabs her phone from her jeans pocket; a picture of me is saved as her screensaver, making me smile before she unlocks her phone; a picture of a girl, roughly fourteen or fifteen, with blue eyes like Gerry's but red hair like Sarah, smiles back at me. Sarah quickly brings up a number under Tiny Dancer, making me furrow my brows as she presses the call button, then places it on loudspeaker.
The phone rings several times before a young girl's voice echoes through the quiet night sky. I hold my girl even tighter when Mary, her little sister, who owns most of her heart, talks, and I realize she's letting me in.
"Please tell me you told him how you feel, sissy."
I smirked and kissed my girl's head at the girl's sass before clearing my throat. "She did, and it's nice to finally meet you, Mary."
She squeals, making Sarah chuckle, "Crap, sissy, he even sounds hot. Well done, you." I snort and shake my head before she continues talking, "And just so you know, Snake, you hurt my sister, I'll hurt you. I've seen many crime shows, so I know how to hide a body."
Sarah laughs, resting her head on my shoulder, and I grin. "I'd never dream of hurting my girlfriend, Mary; I promise I will treat her like the queen she is." Sarah tightens her hold on my tank while Mary sighs, "Well done, Sarah; you did good," making us all laugh.
We ended up spending over an hour and a half on the phone with Mary. Sarah's parents even joined with hot cocoa, and I finally got to see inside my girl's heart—her family; she let me in and showed me exactly who she was, and I'd vowed tonight to never let her slip through my fingers.
If only I could stop my insecurities from coming through.
Chapter 13
Sarah – Two Months Later
I rush into the E.R., my heart pounding at the phone call I just received while at the diner this evening, the panicked words from my parents haunting me.
"Come quick"
I shake my head; this can't be happening.
"It's bad, Sarah, really bad."
I rush through the corridor near the children's ward before I find the room I need; it's empty, making me furrow my brows before I hear someone call my name.
