Mafia Desire novel (Ava and Andrew) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34
So I followed him into his room and stood there watching him walk around shirtless.

"Do you like the view?" Andrew stated as he entered his bathroom.

"Haha, you wish, but just so you know, I'll be staying with you tonight," I said as I followed him into the bathroom, biting my bottom lip.

When I didn't hear anything else after he sighed, I came to the conclusion that he didn't want me to be there with him and said, "Never mind, I will just go to my room."

Andrew inquired, "Did I say no?"

"Um, no," I said, looking down at the floor.

"I'm going to take a shower, and you better be there when I'm done. Unless you want to come with me?" Andrew stated.

"I'm going to change, I'll be back," I rolled my eyes.

"Don't go, just take some of my clothes." He said as he closed the bathroom door.

I walked over to his closet and grabbed a pair of his boxers and one of his numerous black shirts.

Before slipping on his clothes, I removed my shirt, bra, and pants. I needed to brush my teeth, so I went into my room.

I brushed my teeth and wore my hair in a loose bun. I checked myself in the mirror one last time to make sure I looked okay before heading over to Andrew 's room.

I ran into Andrew 's room and saw him coming out from the bathroom wearing only his boxers. His abs glistened from the drops of water he didn't wipe away, his hair was wet and messy, and his biceps flexed with every small movement .

"Didn't I tell you not to go?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I needed to brush my teeth." I said as I approached him.

I put my hand on his chest and watched as he tensed in response to my touch. I traced my fingers across his chest, shoulders, biceps, and arms, admiring his inked skin. I returned his gaze and noticed him staring at me.

"I like your tattoos," I commented.

"Come on, come on." He mentioned picking me up. As he placed me on the bed, I wrapped my legs around his waist and faced him.

"Come on, it's bedtime." Andrew muttered as he let me go and walked to the other side of the bed.

He climbed onto the bed, and I climbed on top of him, my head on his chest and his arm around my waist. I entwined my fingers in his and marveled at how perfectly my fingers fit in his.

"Andrew?" I inquired.

"Yes, kitten." He murmured.

"Can I go to the base after shopping tomorrow to practice shooting?"

"Yes, Seb will take you." He responded

"All right," I said.

I was mesmerized by all the tattoos on his body as I watched his chest rise and fall. My eyelids became heavy, and I closed them.

I felt at ease around him.

****************

When I woke up, there was nothing but a dent in the bed from where Andrew had been sleeping. I sighed and decided it wouldn't hurt anyone if I just lay down for a few minutes longer.

I was worried about the Mafia Ball, afraid that something would go wrong. Andrew was supposed to be with me, but he couldn't save me from everything. Nothing would happen to me because I knew how to shoot and defend myself.

I got up and went to my room because I needed to take a shower. I entered my bathroom and hopped into the shower, allowing the hot water to soothe my mind.

I got out and got dressed; I was going shopping, so I chose leggings and a sweatshirt.

I entered Andrew 's office and informed him that I was going shopping. He handed me his credit card, and after several refusals and his insistence that I use it, I gave in.

I went downstairs, where Seb and the driver were waiting for me. While we were driving to the mall, I slumped into the car and almost fell asleep. I was exhausted and didn't know why.

Seb and I went into a few stores and I tried on a bunch of dresses, but I was unimpressed. Before giving up, I went into one last store and searched the sections until I found an elegant black dress on one of the racks.

I grabbed one of the employees and she assisted me in trying on the dress. I was amazed at how well the dress fit my curves. I was overjoyed because the dress was black, which was Andrew's favorite color. I removed it and asked the employee to ring it up for me.

I paid for it and walked out of the store satisfied and relieved.

Not only did I find the perfect dress, but I was also able to join Melissa at the shooting range.

I climbed into car and we drove to the base.

I left my dress in the car when we arrived and followed Seb because it was only my second time here. He led me back down the stairs into the big room, and then into a hallway, where he stopped at one of the doors and motioned for me to enter.

I smiled at Seb and walked in, eager to start shooting again.

I looked around the room for Melissa and found her shooting a handgun and hitting the target every time.

I approached her and waited for her to stop shooting before speaking to her.

"Melissa." I said.

"Oh, you're here for more practice?" She asked, putting down her gun.

"Yes, I'd like to try moving targets right now." I elaborated.

"All right, boo, I see you." She stated

I laughed and went over to my booth to collect the gun. I took a position, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger. I was sloppy in the first few rounds and I didn't hit the target at first, but after readjusting myself, I started hitting the bullseye.

After about an hour of shooting various targets, I decided to try moving targets. When the fake people started moving around, I aimed and started shooting at them all. Every time, I hit the target.

When the course was finished, I put my gun down and checked the time.

I'd been here for three hours, Jesus.

When I looked around at the other booths, I realized I was the only one at the range. I walked out of the room and down the hall, looking for anyone. It was deserted.

I remembered the way Seb and I had come, so I retraced our steps. There was no one in the large room with the boxing ring when I arrived.

I began walking up the stairs before hearing "You."
