XXVI. What was that?

Vander's hand stayed connected to your face as you both sat in silence. His eyes falling on all your features. You caught yourself lost in a gaze which you quickly broke and detached your face from his hand as you began to twirl your drink in the cup to distract yourself. Vander cleared his throat as he turned around to pretend to occupy himself.

You took the last swig of your drink before placing the cup back down. You stood up slowly from the stool and gave Vander a second glance.

"I'm gonna go check on Vi and Cait then head to bed. Goodnight Vander" you spoke softly as you began to walk towards the door of the bar. He just stood behind the counter and watched you walk away. Once you exited the bar, you stopped and took a deep breathe.

"What was that?" You head a voice pop from to your right you turned your head and you were greeted with Vi.

"What was what?" You asked trying to sound like you have no clue.

"That inside. With Vander." Vi spoke as she stepped closer to you. "I know what I saw y/n" you looked down at the ground as you thought of a response. To be honest, you did even know what that was. Or what happened in there.

"Nothing, I was upset and Vander was comforting me."

"Nobody comforts people like that unless there's something" Vi protested.

"Nothing happened in there, Vi" you responded sternly as you exhaled sharply.

"I get is Silco has been pushing his luck but I swear if you hurt Vander, we're gonna have problems y/n" Vi spoke softly. You kept your head at the ground as you sighed.

"I was coming to check on you and Cait. Seems to me you guys are settled enough. I'm going to bed, goodnight Vi" you ended the conversation there as you turned to continue to walk on back to Silco.

It wasn't like that at all, sure you and Vander had a history but that was over. At least to you. He knew better than to try something like that. Or so you thought. It didn't matter, you had Silco whether you fully trusted him or not. He's all you wanted.

Your thoughts wandered aimlessly until you reached the door of the room. In which you grabbed the knob gently twisting it to open being as quiet as you possibly could. To your surprise Silco was sitting against the headboard of the bed staring out the window. He turned his head to look at you.

"Why are you up?" You spoke softly as you closed the door behind you.

"Can't sleep when you're not here" he confessed as he patted the bed. You smiled lightly as you plopped yourself on the bed next to Silco.

"Well I'm here now so get some rest dear" you spoke as you brought your right hand to begin to rub Silco's back.

"Jinx okay?" Silco asked as he glanced over to you.

"Yes, I didn't get to talk to her as she was already asleep by the time I got there. Vander was just leaving her room and was headed to the bar. So I went with him to have a drink and thank him for showing up when he did"

"Ah I see, think I should go to Jinx tomorrow morning or give her her space and let her come to me when she's ready?" Silco asked as he slid down under the covers resting his head on the pillow.

"I really don't know the state she'll be in tomorrow, so I'm gonna say just let her come to you unless she waits days. Then you approach it" you spoke as you took off your shoes and slid under the covers as well laying on your side facing Silco. "And you owe a sincere apology to Vi."

"What?" Silco snapped unintentionally.

"You're the one who told Marcus to deal with her. locked her up all these years. Don't sugar coat it. Just apologize and leave it at that. you owe her that at least." You responded calmly knowing he wasn't agreeing with the idea but you could care less because it was needed to be done.

Silco exhaled sharply as he now seemed irritated but he tried to keep it on the low. It was if he was thinking about it and figuring out the best response to respond to you with.

"You know I wasn't gonna do it, but since YOU told me to. I will. Not for Vi's sake, but for Jinx's" he huffed as he turned to his side to face you.

"Thank you" you replied with a small smile. "Now stop talking and get some rest. You need to sleep"

"Yeah yeah okay mother." Silco teased.

"Calling me a milf now?" You raised an eyebrow

"Milf?" Silco asked confused

"You don't know what that is?" You replied shocked.

"No" he spoke shortly. You laughed and shook your head.

"Milf stands for Mom I Like to Fuck" you chuckled once you saw the look on Silco's face.

"Oh?" He lowered his brows thinking about it. "Well then yes you are a milf" he smirked.

"Oh yeah, no. You say it weird" you chuckled once more. "Let's not say that again"

"Did I say it wrong?"

"Yes you did- Okay you're stalling, Silco. You need to get some rest." You pushed as you placed your hand on his warm cheek. "Sleep for me at least"

"Fine" he rolled his eyes as he sent you one last small smile before he closed them as in an attempt to fall asleep.

After a short while, Silco's breathing regulated to a slow rhythm. You smiled widely as you glanced over to him sleeping so peacefully. It made you beyond happy. You sat up quickly placing a kiss on Silco's forehead before laying back down to drift off to sleep. Which you did not long after.
