having such a strong woman as your girlfriend was a plus, because it meant she could pick you up and have you on her lap whenever you wanted; and she wouldn’t feel a thing.

plus, it was her favourite thing, to have you on her lap. for example, when she was having drinks with the rest of silcos gang, and you were sat on her lap just toying with the gold on her metal arm.

you felt secure, sevikas toned arm wrapped around your waist as she pulled you back against her chest, her free hand used to light her cigarette then play cards with the group of guys she was with in the back of the last drop.

she’d occasionally check in on you, buy you a drink or let you play a hand. but now the game had gotten more serious, and a lot of her money was at stake. most you could do was sit pretty and watch. atleast, you thought so.

you’d been zoned out bored for so long that you got a little startled hearing sevikas rough voice in your ear. “you alright, darlin’? want a drink? you cold, feel like goin’ home?”
