His Muffin

Ambushed

CHAPTER 13

{Xavier Knight}

Fucking rats.

I limp up into my room and lay in my bed, it's been a fucking day.

This afternoon, Dante called me to tell me there was some kind of problem with the shipment so we went to check and got fucking ambushed.

We ended up killing most of the men and took some as prisoners to question them.

We did take some damage though; Dante got stabbed and was with Enzo who was cleaning him up. He offered to help me but I just wanted to lay in bed, I'm so fucking tired.

Thankfully, Enzo was on sniping so he wasn't hurt but he did a damn good job. We would be fucking dead if he wasn't there.

I, on the other hand, got a lot of cuts and bruises all over my body so I was worn out. I decide I will deal with those tomorrow and just close my eyes to try to sleep.

We are stupid for not taking more men with us. They had double the number of men we had but they still lost. Bitches.

I had a feeling Cameron was behind this. It had been years so I don't know why he would but it could be.

I go to sleep wondering who it could be and make a mental note to text muffin when I am up in the morning.

{Amaya Rose}

I woke up the next morning and checked my phone to see if Xavier texted.

Nothing.

I get up and get ready to go to work. He'll be there so I can just talk to him then.

As I walked into the building I could see more people than usual.

I start baking and check the time when I'm done; 5:55.

Okay soon. I wait. 6:00. No sign of him. 6:10. Still no Xavier, he is probably running late.

Around 9 I give up waiting and call him but he doesn't pick up. Where are you?

"Hello," a man walks up to me.

"Good morning sir, what can I get you?" I smile, trying not to look worried in front of a customer.

"Are you alright? You seem anxious," he asks.

"Uh, yes sir. I'm okay," I mumble.

"Are you sure?" he tilts his head.

"Just worried about someone but I'll be okay," I breathe out.

"I know you don't know me but talking to a stranger helps and plus there aren't many people here so," he offers. "I completely understand if you don't, I'm not trying to impose."

"No, it's just that my boyfriend told me there had some kind of problem and he told me he would text me after but he still hasn't so I'm getting worried," I explain, he looks at me with a sad look.

"I'm sure he'll be fine, maybe he forgot with whatever's going on," he reassures.

"I hope so," I sigh.

"I'm Cameron by the way," he sticks out his hand.

"Amaya," I take his hand, shaking it.

"Well, what would you like MR. Cameron," I smile.

"Anything chocolate. What do you recommend?" he questions.

"We have really good chocolate fudge brownies," I offer.

"Perfect," he hands me some money and I give him the brownie.

"This is amazing," he chimes when he takes a bite of the brownie.
