My Brettonio stories

Overprotective

Sylvie brought up the Martini up to her lips as she took a sip. Her and Antonio had plans on meeting at Molly's later. Since she was off from work, she came here early, while Antonio was still on shift.

"So, how is everything between you and Antonio? I feel like we never talk anymore." Gabby said as she downed a shot she just poured.

Sylvie put down the drink, giving Gabby a weird stare. "We're partners." She pointed out. "We're constantly talking." She laughed.

Gabby nodded her head. "I know that. But I mean, you have been pretty secretive about how things are with Antonio."

"Um. Cause every time I try to talk about it, you get a weird look and sometimes even try making up an excuse to leave." She said.

"That's because you were discussing your love life with my brother." Gabby pointed out as she refilled her shot glass back up.

"You asked!" She said, defensively.

"I know." She sighed. "I thought I could handle it, I couldn't. So, this time don't go into those kind of details." She suggested.

Sylvie laughed and she nodded her head. "Okay." Her face then broke out in a huge smile as she thought about Antonio. "We're doing very well. In fact, I think the only time we are apart is when we're both working. It works out well that his kids likes me." She said.

"Likes you?" Gabby said with a laugh. "Anytime they're over my house visiting with Louie, they can't stop going on and on about you. Those kids loves you."

Sylvie smiled as she thought about Antonio's kids. "I do feel lucky."

Before she could say anything else, her phone made a noise that signaled a text message. She took her phone out of her purse and smiled, seeing Antonio's name. She opened the text message. She smiled to herself when he said that he was on his way.

"Sickening. So sickening." Gabby said, jokingly. "You remind me of how I acted when Matt and I first got together. Now I want to apologize to everyone who had to witness that." Gabby laughed as more people started coming in. "I'll be back." She said as she walked away, tending to other people.

Sylvie kept looking at the door, but she knew that was just making him take that much longer.

" If I had a nickel for every time a saw a woman as beautiful as you, I'd have five cents." This guy who appeared out of nowhere said to Sylvie.

Sylvie looked over at the guy and she shook her head. "Um. Thanks." She said as she turned her attention back to the door. Even if the guy was sexy, no one was hotter than Antonio Dawson.

"Let me buy you a drink." He offered.

Sylvie sighed as she looked over at the guy once again. "No thanks." She said, uninterested.

"Hmm. Waiting for someone?" He asked as he sat down on the stool beside her and placed his arm around her, obviously not understanding that she wasn't interested.

Sylvie pulled away from him, shaking her head. "Um. I'm waiting for my boyfriend."

"That's what they all say." He said, not buying it.

Sylvie looked over at Gabby, wishing she could come save her right now, but the one time she needed Gabby to save her, she was busy with customers.

"Look. I'm not interested. And trust me, it would be better for you if you get lost before my boyfriend comes." She warned him. Seeing him not budging, she decided to just get up and wait outside for Antonio.

That was where she made the mistake. As soon as she stood up, the guy decided to followed her. She turned around to looked at him. "What?" She thought this guy had issues.

Luckily though, she heard the door of Molly's opening and she knew without looking that was Antonio. As soon as his hand went on her lower back, she relaxed.

"What's going on here?" He asked in his detective voice.

Sylvie shook her head. "It's okay, Antonio." She said, knowing how overprotective he can get.

Antonio looked over at Sylvie and then he looked over at the guy who looked scared. He turned his attention back to Sylvie. "Hey. Do me a favor. Go and order me a beer, okay?"

Sylvie shook her head. "No. Come with me please?"

Antonio looked over at the guy and then he looked over at Sylvie, then he nodded his head after a few minutes. "Okay. But first–" he walked closer to the guy, giving him a stern glare. "You see her? Come near her again when I'm not here and next time she can't talk me out of bashing your head in." He said as he took her hand and walked over to the bar.

He sat down at the stool and she sat down next to him. He ordered their drinks as she placed her hand on his back, rubbing it up and down. "Hey, don't let anyone ruin our night, okay?"

Antonio was still pretty angry. That wasn't what he expected to walked into. As their drinks were placed in front of them, he picked up his beer taking a sip.

"You're not jealous, are you?" Sylvie asked.

Antonio looked over at her and he shook his head. "No, of course not. I knew that guy didn't have a chance." He smirked.

Sylvie laughed, shaking her head. "Okay. But if I didn't stop you, I'm sure you would have hit him. Why would you do that if you weren't jealous?"

Antonio contemplated on what she was saying as he stared at his beer. After a few minutes, he looked over at her. "Fine. I was jealous." He admitted.

"But why? I wasn't interested in that creep. I'm interested in you."

Antonio looked at her and he nodded his head. He took another swig of his beer and then he stood up.

She looked at him with a puzzled looked. "Where are you going?"

Antonio looked at her and he shrugged his shoulders. "It's kind of dead in here. So, my apartment?" He asked her as he took out money and placed it on top of the bar countertop.

Sylvie smiled and she nodded her head. She stood up as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"Staying the night?" He asked as he headed out of Molly's.

She looked over at him and she smiled. "If that's what you want."

"Hell yes, that's what I want." He headed towards his truck as he leaned forward, whispering in her ear. "That's if you want to, Sylvie."

The way he said her name, always drove her crazy. And he knew it too. She nodded her head after a few minutes. "Of course." She smiled softly at him.

Once they reached his truck and he moved his arm from around her shoulders, she grabbed his arm. "We're okay, right?"

Antonio nodded his head and he smiled at her. "Why wouldn't we be?" He asked as he leaned forward and gave her a quick kiss. "We're fine."

Sylvie smiled and she nodded her head. She knew how overprotective Antonio could get, but she was happy that she got him to calmed down.
