Texas Bandits

Part 16.

"How was last night?" Ethan asked, they were sitting at the breakfast table before Amy heads up for work like every day.
"It was nice we had fun." Amy smiled at him and then looked back at Brian "We ate pasta." Brian giggled.
"I was thinking of doing a barbecue night for us tonight, is that okay for you?" Ethan asked "Yes! why not, do you want me to bring anything back with me from town?" Amy asked.
"Just be there." Ethan smiled at her "I'll bring a chocolate cake then! Aunt Nicole and Brian love it!" She said, "You love it too mummy." Brian said.
Ethan and Amy laughed with Brian at his hilarious actions.

Nicole was still outside feeding the chickens and taking care of the farm "How is Austin so far?" Ethan asked again "It's good, really good actually! Aunt Nicole helped us a lot." Amy smiled shyly.
"She likes you a lot," Ethan said, he is a good person just like his mother, supportive and full of kindness.

He always had a thing for living alone and traveling, that's why he doesn't live with his mother in Austin anymore. Ethan after finishing college and decided to live in Switzerland for a while and then move to Germany later started his own business in Frankfurt and he worked so hard to get it where it is today!

"How is Austin for you, Ethan?" Amy smiled "Too hot maybe?" He laughed "Your mother said the exact same thing about Germany." she laughed with Brian.

"But I'm staying for a month, not for the weekend only." Ethan said "What?" Nicole opened the door at the same time "Hey mother." He smiled "You're staying for a month? a whole month?" Nicole asked with joy.

"Yes." She walked to him and gave him a hug "Yes, I'm." Ethan laughed "That's great!" Amy smiled "How did that happen?" Nicole asked sitting near him.

"I'm working on something here in Austin." Ethan explained, "I'm opening my second company here in my town!"

"What? that's great news, Ethan!" Nicole said you could see the happiness and joy in her eyes, "I'm happy for you too, Ethan!" Amy smiled "I need to go now, see you tonight at dinner." She said and walked out after saying goodbye to everyone and kissed Brian.

"Christopher." Mr. Rodriguez called his son, he was waiting for him in his office room.
"Hey, dad." Christopher walked in and sit across him on the couch "How are you?"
"I'm okay son, today you're opening your car's shop right?" His father asked.
"Yeah, it's today and I think I'm excited." Christopher laughed slightly "You should be! you always wanted to own one, and here are you." He smiled.
"Thank to you, father." Christopher smiled back at him "No son, it because you deserved it."
"Thank you." Christopher said, "Join me for breakfast?" Mr. Rodriguez asked, "I'll and then I should go back to the store, today I have a lot to do."
"Things will be alright, just believe in yourself always!" He smiled.
"I will dad."

It was mid-day when Amy left the office to grab coffee for her break, Nicole prepared an avocado sandwich with bananas and honey, she knew she loved this combo.
"Do you need anything from the coffee shop?" Amy asked her co-workers.
She went out of the office and walked toward the coffee shop that's when she noticed some crowd waiting near a shop.
Then Amy recognized it was Christopher's shop, the one he bought to sell cars in!
"What's happening?" She whispered but a woman next to her heard "It's the new opening for Rodriguez's new business, and everyone is excited about it." The woman said kindly, Amy smiled at her and then walked again towards the coffeeshop.

When she finally got her coffee and it was time to go back to her office but the curiosity was buzzing really hard she wants to see how is the final look of the new shop!

"Okay, I'm going." She mumbled to herself and heads back to Christopher's shop.
The crowd was a bit less now, some of them went inside viewing the new models he has, Amy tried to be undercovered she doesn't want Christopher to see her and thinks that she is a stalker.
"Amy?" She heard a familiar voice calling for her and she knew who it was.
She closed her eyes tight hoping she could just disappear.
"Amy?" Christopher called for her again that's when she looked back and faced him.
"Oh hey, Christopher." She smiled "What are you doing here?" She could see the excitement in his eyes!
She laughed nervously "I was around grabbing a coffee for my break time, and I saw the people crowded here."
"It's nice to see you today." He walked towards her and placed a kiss on her cheek.
He could feel her heated and flushed cheeks "What?" He looked at her and her face was facing the ground "People are looking." Amy whispered he laughed at her words "And I don't care."

"Christopher?" They both turned when they heard someone calling for him "Father?" Christopher answered "What a pleasant surprise." He walked towards him and hugged him.
Amy stand there smiling at both of them, she looked again at her watch and released that she had to go now before her break ends.

"Who is that lovely lady?" Mr. Rodriguez asked looking at Amy, she walked towards him and shook his hand.
"Father, that's Ms. William, Amy William." Christopher answered, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Rodriguez." She said with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you too." He looked back again at her and his son Christopher.

She stood there for a few more minutes and then said her goodbyes "I want to see you tonight." Christopher whispered, "I don't know." Amy said back.
"I will call you later." He said and walked again towards his father.
Amy took a sip of her coffee and went out of the shop, that's when her eyes caught a weird car walking slowly around, her eyes kept following them until they stopped near the shop and their black windows were rolled down.

A machine gun and a pistol was pulled out and focused on the windows of the shop, Amy's coffee was spilled on her shirt the tears on her eyes were unlike others she hide near a mailbox and closed her eyes tightly.
