“I don’t know why. I told you I knew you were special the moment I laid eyes on you. I couldn’t take the chance of one of the knuckleheads trying something.”
As I sat there, I reminisced on my first time walking into the clubhouse and it dawned on me. “Oh my God! That’s why all your brothers were staring at me!” I shrieked.
The guys found that hilarious and broke out in laughter again. Before anyone could say anything, the side door in the common room opened and in walked three guys, each holding hands with a woman.
“This placed is being taken over by couples.” Chains fake gagged. Even with his teasing, he, as well as Diablo and Ink, got up to let the women take a seat while they moved over to the bar.
“Shut it, Chains. Just because you have to resort to these women who have vaginas larger than a grapefruit doesn’t mean you have to take your frustrations out on the rest of us,” the woman with beautiful chocolate skin said.
Chains slapped his hand to his chest feigning hurt as the room roared with laughter. “Damn, Bianca, I was just joking.” He pouted.
Capone sat forward and grabbed my hand. “Everybody, I want you to meet Giovanna. Giovanna this is Blade and his Ol’ Lady, Bianca, Thor and his Ol’ Lady, Madison, and Big Red and his Ol’ Lady, Alice.”
“Nice to meet you all.” I gave a small smile and waved as I observed everyone. The men around sure had been busy. Every single one of these ladies was pregnant.
Everyone was so down-to-earth as they began chatting with me. The women more than the men, but it felt good to mingle with a group of women who didn’t seem the least bit catty.
While we were talking, Bianca groaned and rubbed her large belly. “Hungry?” Blade questioned her. When she nodded, he got up with no hesitation and headed to the kitchen.
“How many weeks do you have left?” I asked her.
“Four. I’m so ready to get this little boy out of me,” Bianca answered.
“I bet. You look ready to pop,” Capone said, smiling at her.
Bianca’s eyes filled with tears, wiping the smile off his face. Thor and Big Red looked at him like he had lost his mind, and I did the same. Madison and Alice were frowning at Capone like they wanted to rip his head off.
Capone sat with a perplexed expression, when Bianca soft cries turned to sobs. Blade came rushing out of the kitchen with a sandwich in his hand. He sat the plate on the table and palmed Bianca’s face.
“What’s wrong, Coco? Is it the baby?” He looked her over with a worry in his eyes.
Bianca shook her head frantically while wiping her tears with the back of her hands. “No. C-Ca-Capone called me fat,” she wailed.
“What?!” Capone and Blade shouted in unison as they shot to their feet.
“I did no such thing,” Capone denied with wide eyes.
“Yes, you did. We heard you.” Madison backed up Bianca, glaring at Capone.
I shook my head, smirking. My, poor, poor man. It’s clear he’d never had to deal with a pregnant woman before. Rule number one is younevercomment about her weight. I didn’t care for whatever reason. You acted like she had the body of a supermodel and kept your mouth closed.
Wait, did I just call Capone my man?
“I never called her fat.” Capone continued to defend himself.
“Well, what did you say?” Blade narrowed his eyes.
“I just said she looked ready to pop.”
Thor looked at Capone in disbelief. “My God, did you really just repeat it?” he groaned.
Blade gritted his teeth, staring Capone down.
“See! I knew I looked like a fuckin’ whale!” Bianca cried out.
Capone looked around the room, taken aback. He turned to Chains, Ink, and Diablo. All they could offer him was a shake of the head. He turned back to Bianca with apologetic eyes.
“Bianca, I swear I didn’t mean to offend you. I didn’t mean to make you cry,” Capone pleaded.
