Having her (Golden reaper MC)

13 - Angelica

A shiver wracked my body as I recall the night I was taken. Closing my eyes tightly against the torrent of memories I feel a single tear leave my eyes and rundown my cheek in what seemed to take forever, leaving a trail of heat. Opening my eyes again I gingerly looking around at my parents I find that both of them have tears running down their faces. Seeing my father cry broke me, he never cried in front of anyone. Ever. "Daddy" I say, pushing the word through the lump in my throat, lifting my arms up like I did as a child he quickly scooped me into his arms crying into my neck as he rocked me back and forth, Like he always did when I had nightmares growing up. He was the only person to ever be able to calm me down and get me back to sleep. I have always been a daddy's girl. We were always more like best friends then father and daughter since we did everything together. Pressing my head into his neck I allow my own tears to fall, leaving a salty taste in my mouth and soaking his shirt.

The image of Gunners face as my father took me from him sent a sharp stab of guilt though my heart. He didn't want me to leave his embrace. To be honest neither did I, but in this moment I needed my father's comfort the most.

After a minute or two my mum joins us trying to wrap her small frame around the both of us as much as she could. I would have laughed at the comical site if it wasn't for the tension that fluttered through the air.

Turning my head I looked over at Gunner to find him looking down at the ground. Reaching my hand out I place it on the side of his face, stroking his cheek. Butterflies dance around my stomach as I watch him place a feather light kiss on my palm before leaning into my touch placing his hand over mine.

He smiles, placing another kiss on my palm before he takes my hand in his much larger one. The warmth of his touch sends shivers up my spine. Giving his hand a comforting squeeze we lock eyes and smile at each other. I have no idea how long we stay like that for but the silence is comforting and only leaves me feeling a little cold once my parents pull away from the hug.

Looking at Gunners watch I check the time "We should be going it's getting late" I tell my parents my soft, almost small sounding voice. Standing up I give them both a hug once more along with a kiss on their cheeks before going outside to wait for Gunner. I don't want them to see how weak I am anymore, I'm done being weak.

Leaning on the wall next to the front do I hear Gunners voice the smoothness of it floating through the air "I promise you both no more harm will come to her while she is with me, I may have only known her for a short amount of time but she has become to mean so much to me" the truth behind his words is clear even to me and idly enough they aren't as scary to hear as I thought and I find a smile creeping its way onto my face. A smile that only ever seems to show around him.

A large hand takes mine before guiding me to the car. Looking over at him I see that he is still mad about finding out what happened but that wasn't even all of it. Tightening my hold on his hand I lean my head against his arm, hoping to calm him down slightly.

Once we reach the car he opens my door for me and lifts me into my seat and places a kiss on my forehead before leaning his head against mine, our noses touching. Smiling up at him I pull away and push him out of the way so I can close the door. He laughs at my attempt since it was pretty much useless considering he was more than twice my size. He gives up when I start pouting and steps away from the door, closing it for me.

The drive back is just as quiet as before. I turn on the radio and set the volume to a background level to help distract me while Gunner has his hand on my knee, rubbing circles into my skin that seemed to do things to my body that I had never felt before.
