The Gang's Girl

Chapter eleven

Sam

Who does Jake think he is?! Taking my little brother like that. He is a Wooder not a Smokes. It's not my fault the kid needs to learn how to listen. I mean hell half of my plan is for him.

I can't help but to punch everything right now. God damn Jake Smokes he takes everything from me! He keeps my lovely Ava away from me, he has more territory then me, a better gang, and now my baby brother.

Lucky for me I don't give up easily. Jake Smokes better watch his back. I'm not done yet.

Jake

Ice skating ended up going even better then I could have imagined. Seeing them all smile and laugh; not being stressed it was great.

"Jake do you think that maybe we could stop and get something to eat?" A small voice that could only belong to my sweet little princess of a boy asked.

How am I supposed to say no to that? He's so cute with his pouty lip and puppy dog eyes.

"Yeah baby. Wanna go to Armando's?" I asked knowing damn well that's exactly where he wants to go. His Hazel eyes lit up like a child on Christmas, it's moments like these that I live for. To see him and Ava happy. Safe and happy.

I have two soft spots in my heart Connor has his signature on the one, while Ava has herself wrapped around the other. If anything were to happen to either of them, my world would crumble. I would not be the person I am today. I'd be much like the one person I hate the most.

"Jake let's go!" Connor yelled while pulling on my sleeve, he really likes his Italian food.

"Hold on baby. I have to tell the rest of the gang." Connor stopped but pouted none the less.

"Princess you know I don't like it when you pout." I said with a firm tap to his bubble butt. Almost automatically his frown disappeared.

"Guys let's go to Armando's." I said to which they all smiled and whooped.

Armando's is our favorite place to eat. It's this little rinky dinky hole in the wall Italian restaurant. It has the best food though I swear Armando and his wife Mindy came from Italy they are in their mid 60s and the best damn cooks.

Not only are they amazing cooks, but Armando used to run with the Italian mafia. He loves hearing about the feud between the gangs, and he gives great advice. His stories are also the epitome of an interesting life.

Almost immediately upon entering the car Connor started to strip his coat off complaining of being too hot.

"Take off one of the sweaters then, and keep your coat on. I don't want you to get sick baby."

Being the good boy he is, he listened, I can tell that he's still uncomfortable. Although he won't say anything. Huh? He's wearing a pair of Ava's leggings under his sweats. I bet his butt looks great.

"Babe take off the sweat pants, you have leggings under them." Connors face flushed a bright vibrant red, in contrast to his pale cheeks.

"I'm okay." He muttered.

"Babe take them off c'mon it won't be bad, and when we get home I'm sure we will be going to be having some alone time princess." I said with a reassuring smile.

Once we got there I couldn't help but laugh as it seems Dex has the same plan as me with Brandon. So both our boys are currently pretty red. Ava tisked us as she walked by, even though her boyfriends eyes are drawn to her rear end too.

"Ah if it isn't my favorite group of deliquenti." Armando said upon us entering.

After coming here so often we've learned a little Italian including his favorite word for us deliquenti translating into delinquents.

"Hey there Nonno!" Ava said popping out from behind Axel.

"Ah la mia bella ragazza! I didn't see you with the rest of these deliquenti."

"Grazie Nonno."

It amazes me how much Italian she's picked up from Armando.

"Well don't just stand there sit! Sit!"

After our meals came out which Ava graciously went back and helped Armando and Mindy with, Armando came and sat with us.

Suddenly the bell rang,"sorry we have a no more room! Scusa!"

"Just need a word." A boy out age said.

"Go on." I commanded.

"Sam is not happy. He wants Brandon back."

"I am staying here." Brandon declared, while the rest shouted in support.

"Just know he's after you all." And like that the boy left.
