Mafia Desire novel (Ava and Andrew) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47
"Are you serious?" my eyes widened. So, how did you end up working at that dinner where I first met you two?" I inquired.

"In order to avoid detection, we must pretend to live a normal life." I apologize for keeping this from you, but we didn't want to drag you into the criminal mess." Jenny elaborated.

"No, it's fine." I completely comprehend. I just never imagined that all of my friends were involved in criminal activity." I said.

"We love you and have never lied to you." I hope you are aware of this." Charis said this while bowing her head.

"Oh my goodness, I never thought you'd lie to me." I understand why you did it, and it's just nice to have all the information now." I responded.

"All right, enough criminal talk. I want you to have a good birthday, and Travis will be there in a few minutes." Charis squealed with delight as Travis approached.

"Yay!" I exclaimed, delighted to see Travis.

Travis entered the bakery a few minutes later and approached our table. "Hello, ladies." He said as he was holding a gift box in his hand.

"Hello, babe." Charis said, standing up and kissing him on the cheek. I smiled at the sight, and I was overjoyed that my two best friends were dating.

"Happy Birthday, shortness." Travis stated after finishing with Charis.

"Thank you blue. "Do you have anything for me?" I chuckled, raising my eyebrows.

"I was going to get you a stepstool, but I changed my mind." He laughed as he handed me the black box.

"I would have killed you." I glared at him and took the box from his grasp.

I opened the box and discovered a stunning black metal glock. I placed my hand on the cool metal and stared in awe. It was stunning.

"Thank you." I said, looking up at Travis and closing the box, because I'm sure having a gun in a bakery would raise some eyebrows.

"I know how much you enjoy shooting guns, so now you have your own." As he sat down next to Charis, he said.

"You're the best." I said, putting my new gift in my bag.

I looked up at them and searched the bakery for Seb.

He's still around. Great I wanted to cause some havoc.

"Andrew has one of his men following me; I'd like to leave and then return to see if he notices." I elaborated.

"Why?" Jenny inquired.

"I don't know, I'm bored, and I know how to get to the roof." I responded.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea, Ava." Travis said.

"Shut up; we're leaving." I exploded.

"All right, all right. "Be patient." Travis replied, his hands up in defeat. I laughed and waited for Seb to stop staring in our general direction.

"Now." I muttered as I jumped up from the chair and ran for the back door. As I open a door leading to a stairwell, I hear Charis, Jenny, and Travis behind me. I opened the door and began climbing the stairs until we reached the top floor. I opened the door and led everyone outside onto the roof while we were all out of breath.
