Where I Belong - R.V.Elliott

Chapter 23 

He didn't say anything but he didn't have to. The look on his face said it all and I wouldn't like to be the one on his bad side today. I didn't always want to have to go to him but I didn't really have anyone else. "I need you to do something for me". 

Frowning I took a step closer and waited for him to continue "I need you to start carrying sweets". Was he joking? 

"Are you serious? I can't carry a gun" I snapped my voice barley a whisper. Was he insane? "In case you haven't noticed I work in a fucking hospital". Grabbing a hold of my wrist he pulled me closer so our noses were touching " Its for your own safety. You don't have to carry it at all times but you do need to have one here. Put it in your office so it's locked away. I can't be here all the time and if I know you at least have something that can protect you then I won't worry as much". 

"I don't even know how to use one. I can't believe you are suggesting this. How the hell did I end up in this mess?" Shaking my head I pulled my wrist out of his hold and turned so my back was to him. The last thing I wanted was to carry a gun because I was afraid that I might have to use it. 

"I'll teach you. Its not that hard all you have to remember is always take the safety off and aim for the head or the heart" 

Biting my lip I burst out laughing "I can't believe you are standing here talking about a gun like were talking about the weather. So calm and collective. I can't have a gun here, if I get caught I'll get fired". 

"You'll be more than fired if Vagos get a hold of you". 

"I-I can't deal with this. I have to go" Walking away from him I threw my coffee into the trash can by the entrance. He seriously wanted me to start carry a gun? I'd probably shoot my own foot off. 

"What did hotness want?" Ally smirked as she laced her arm through mine. Shaking my head I stopped at the vending machine for a light snack. I hadn't eaten all day. "Trust me Ally stick with Mark" Putting my money into the machine I pressed for a Hershey's bar. 

"He must be great in the sack though right?" 

This girl was a serious horn dog. Bending down I got my chocolate and gave her a flat look "You have no shame" I said walking in the opposite direction. "You can't 

blame me for trying. You think I could come over to the clubhouse tonight?" She asked as she caught up with me. 

Stopping in my tracks I gave her a look "Your serious?" I asked. She had noam idea what she was in for and I wasn't talking about the guys. The girls would eat her alive. "Deadly serious Ava. I need some excitement and I love a bad boy just as much as the next girl". 

"I don't know Ally. I mean.." Chewing on my lip I didn't know how to tell her what she was in for "I don't know how to say this but if you go there tonight they'll know your there for one thing and one thing only. If you don't want them to think that then its best you stay in your work clothes". 

I knew what most of the guys were like. A different girl each night whether they were married or not. They don't care what they do or who they screw. I just didn't want her to get hurt. 

"I want excitement Ava so I will definitely not be wearing my work clothes". Watching her grin at me I gave her a sly smile "You have no idea what its like and I'll let you 

in on a little secret. The club whores are bitches so watch out for them". 

"Ain't nothing I can't handle. You will be there though right?" She asked 

"I'm currently living there so yes I'll be there. I'll see what time I get off but do not turn up until I text you. You walk in there without knowing anyone and they'll throw you out on your ass". 

"Far too excited" She squealed. I didn't get why she was excited, yes the guys were okay but they were major dicks that didn't give a shit about anythingly but there club and getting pussy. 

Rolling my eyes at her I couldn't help but grin "I'll see you tonight if I ever get away from here" Walking away from her I made my way to the x-ray suite to see if little Zack was finished. As I entered he came bouncing towards me a happy look on his face. 

"Doctor Ava I broketed my wrist but I never cried when they did this" He said holding up his now casted arm. 

"Oh woah look at you, you brave little soldier. Did you get that batman sticker for being brave?" I asked him bending down so I was at his level. Nodding his head yes I couldn't help but smile "Come on and I'll take you over to your mommy". Slipping his hand in mine I walked over to where his mom and Josh stood talking. 

"You have one brave little boy" I grinned as I approached them "Doctor Amaro will sit you down and you can talk him through what happened. If you'll excuse me" I said 

turning on my heel. Just as I was about to leave I felt a weight against the back of my legs. "Doctor Ava" came his sweet little voice. Turning back round so I could face him he hugged the bottom half of my legs "Thanks for making me better" running back to his mom I felt the tears in my eyes. Nodding my head I gave him a wave before walking of. 

"Ava?" Stopping in my tracks I turned to see Holly waving at me. This was the girl I wasn't sure about. I still didn't have a good feeling about her but who was I to judge. "Can I come tonight to?" She whispered looking around to make sure no one heard her. 

I was going to kill Ally. I couldn't just drag anyone into the clubhouse my dad would kill me. Shit happened in that place that even made my toes curl and not in a good way. "Let me guess you want to be fucked by a real man to?" I asked watching the blush take over her cheeks. Holy shit I was right. 

"Fine come with Ally". 

Laying my head against my desk I groaned at the shooting pains running up and down my feet. Closing my eyes I thought about what Blaze was saying early. Should I keep a gun in here for my own protection? Thinking about taking both those girls home with me tonight gave me a bad feeling. They had no idea what they were in for but maybe after tonight they'll never want to come back. The guys were like animalsnd and they still think women are below them. 

Hearing my phone vibrate I took it out my drawer, ignoring the call I turned the full thing off and put it away in my bag. I didn't need anymore surprises or any more interruptions. Blaze didn't need to call me every single minute of the day. Leaning back in my chair I had 15 minutes to spare before I had to do my rounds. If it stayed as quiet as it has been all day then there was a chance I'd get to leave on time for once. I'd wait for the girls to arrive tonight but after that they were on there own. I wanted nothing more than a bath and bed. How those girls had it in them after doing all the hours under the sun I'll never know. 

"I think I have the right to see my own daughter" 

My mom was here? 

"Who even is that?" My mom asked strolling into my office and taking a seat. Rubbing at her swollen stomach I couldn't help the smile take over my face. 

"They're just doing there job mom. You could have called to tell me you were coming" I said standing and walking to where she was. Placing my hand on her stomach I gasped when the little one kicked. "You sure you're just carrying one?" I asked 

"Bloody better be just one in there. My feet are killing me, my back is killing me and I'm about to kill your dad" She sighed closing her eyes. Chuckling I sat on the edge of my desk "What's he's done now?". Although she was 6 months pregnant she was still beautiful. Pregnancy looked good on her, she was glowing. 

"He won't leave me alone" Sheyi groaned "I think he's trying to get me pregnant while I'm pregnant". 

"Mom" I groaned really not wanting to here that "I didn't need to know that. How are you doing though?" I asked. I knew she was happier being back here but I still like to know she was doing okay. 

"I'm good honey just knackered? This little one is taking it all out of me. You were never this much bother" She chuckled taking a hold of my hand "How are you? I don't get to see you much you're always working or with that man of yours". 

'I'm not always with him" I blushed watching her give me the look. "I really like him mom. Like I haven't felt this way about anyone before but I always have this little bit of doubt in the back of my mind" I whispered. I haven't spoke to my mom about men before because I didn't have too. Of course we've had the sex talk but I was never interested in anyone until now. 

Squeezing my hand she gave me a small smile "I get it A but I know Blaze is a good guy and I know he'll protect you with his life. I've seen the way he looks at you sweetheart and there's no way he'd do anything to hurt you, not intentionally anyway. Take it as slow as you want baby don't rush into anything your not ready for". 

"Thanks mom" Leaning in closer I dropped a kiss on her cheek "Is dad okay with it?" I asked 

"He'll never be okay with it but he'll learn to live with it because in my eyes I can't see Blaze ever leaving you alone. I know your a strong girl Ava but with a guy like Blaze you have to have a backbone. Show him you're not a push over and show him that he belongs to you just the same way he let's everyone know you are his". 

"He's older and he has so much more experience. Heck mom I'm 24 and still a virgin" I said finally letting out what I've been holding in since the day I met him. She was my mom and I knew she would give me the best advice. 

"Ava Maria Mendez there is no shame in being a virgin" She scolded making me look at her "When you're ready to lose it you'll know and I am very proud that you are 

still one". 

"I'm embarrassed about it" I whispered dropping my gaze to the floor. 

Feeling her hand on my cheek I leaned against it. "Don't be baby, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Does he know?" She asked dropping her hand and resting it 

on her stomach. 

"He knows and I think thats why I've fallen for him more. He's never once pressured me into having sex. He always comes running when I need him and he always makes sure I'm okay". 

"Sounds just like your dad" She laughed "This is your decision A, I'm not going to get involved. If you want Blaze then go get him baby, there's nothing stopping you". 

Was it as easy as that? 

"So what's brought you down here?" I asked 

"Can't a mom visit her daughter she hardly see's?" 

"Of course mom" I smiled "But seriously what's going on?" I asked knowing she was here for something. Yes she my mom and I love her but I know something was bothering her. 

"I'm just a little fed up A. The last year has changed my life so much" she sighed "I guess I kind of miss being the independent woman I once was. Now the most I do on my own is pee". 

Grabbing a hold of her hand I looked at her "You're the most independent woman I know, never forget that mom. I didn't believe it before but now I do and I see it everyday. He loves you more than anything mom and you have made him a better man. I was angry at him, I was angry because he hurt you in more ways than one. I guess I just thought the same way everyone else did but now I don't". 

"I guess I forgot how it all worked. I don't get to lift a finger because I'm Franko's old lady" She said rolling her eyes "Even with me around those bitches still try and get there claws in". 

Ah so that's why she was here. Someone's trying to step over the line and disrespect her. "I pity whoever the hell it is" I said causing her to look at me "Mom you have my dad wrapped around that" I said showing her my pinky. "You once told me to stake my claim. Take your own advice and show them that he is yours and that you ain't going no where. He wouldn't cheat would he?" 

"God know" she said standing from the chair "Your dad knows if he ever did I'd cut off his balls. My pussy is the only one he craves". Screwing my face up I shook my head" Too much information. I have to get back to work. Is he coming for you? ". 

He has business to take care of. Try and get finished early tonight I'm going to make a big family dinner" Leaning in she placed a kiss on my cheek. 

"Can I bring some friends?" I asked 

"Check with your dad sweetheart. You know what he's like with strangers coming into the clubhouse. Anyway I'll let you get back to work. See you tonight". 

That's why I asked you so I wouldn't have to ask him! 

Picking up my phone it vibrated in my hand. I wonder who it could be? Rolling my eyes I opened his text and blushed. 

'Answer me or I'll come over there and spank that pretty little ass' 

'Yes please'
