"Hey Lauren, do you mind bringing out some more chocolate chip cookies," I say, as Lauren was making her way to the back, she holds her thumbs up and I continue scanning the pantry, taking note of anything else.

The bell on the door rings, causing me to look up, in hopes of it being a certain someone, but instead, it was a group of guys, quite scary-looking group of guys...

The three guys walk in, scanning the bakery, the one on the right has a smooth smirk on his face, as he nods in approval. The one left was to say looked the least intimating but honestly, it was only the fact that he has a slight smile on his face other then that, he also looks like he could squash me if he wanted to. However, the one in the middle, yeah his scary, his face was neutral but he still looks angry for no goddam reason. The guy in the middle could possibly even best Cayden in the whole scariest death stare.

Sadly they were all also, very handsome men...

"Hello," I greet, a bright smile on my face.

"Hey there," a smooth voice answers back, the one from the right, walks up and leans against the counter, a wave of musky perfume surrounding him, he smells nice...

"What can I get you guys?" I get straight to business, grabbing some clear gloves from under the desk, my fake customer service smile still present.

"I hear you guys make the best cookies," the same guy says, he looks down at the menu on the counter,

I nod, "yeah, is there a particular one you're after," I decided this was a good reason to back away, put some space between us, I walk towards the cookie section.

"Well I for one really want a chocolate chip cookie," he says, looking up at me with a smirk on his face.

"Stop wasting time, get your cookie and let's leave," the scary one says, I'm glad he still hasn't made eye contact with me yet

"You're such a spoilsport, E. I'll take 5 chocolate chip cookies then," he orders, I nod and get a paper bag when I realise there's only 2 here, oops...

"I've only got 2 here, but there's more at the back if you don't mind waiting a few minutes," I put the bag down, once the guy nods, waiting for Lauren.

"Hey, that sign outside, what's that about?" The same guy asks I notice the guys scatter around the bakery, scary one stands near the door, leaning beside the door, while the innocent looking one stood besides Mr.Smirk, leaning against the glass.

"If you don't mind, could you not lean against the glass please," I say, quickly adding, "it's only because you kinda look like you could break the glass with your pinky and it's very expensive to replace so...."

He quickly gets off it and holds his hands up and apologise, a smile on his face, awh I like him, he seems nice.

"It's alright and the sign outside, which one?" I turn back to Smirks,

Instead of Smirks, Nice responds back, pointing towards the window, "the 'here to talk' one,"

My face brightens up as I remember, "oh, well, like the sign suggests we're here to talk, listen or if there's anything you need getting of your mind or just need break from everything,"

A bakery once saved my life, even though they were a horrible baker, I still owe him my life, for being there for me when no one else was. So if I can do the same for someone day, give them a little hope or something because, everyone needs a little saving, no matter how lost they are.

I hear Lauren bringing in a tray of cookies but I don't turn back, keeping my eyes on the boys as I explain, I mean they look like tuff guys but even the tuff ones need a little hug or talk sometimes.

"That's sweet," Nice says while Smirks nods, a little smile replacing the smirk, I nod back, "yeah so if you guys wanna talk you can or if you need help escaping from the scary guy at the back, just order a plain cupcake," I say the last bit quietly, half-joking and also kinda meaning it, they stare at me then break into a laugh. Very funny.

"That's cute, cupcakes," Smirks comments, recovering from his laugh.

I nod and turn around, picking the bag up again and putting the 5 fresh cookies in and sealing, walking back to the front, "that'll be $7, please,"

Smirks reaches into his back pocket, pulling out his wallet, he searches through it before pulling out a $10 note, "here you go," he picks up the cookie bag and was about to leave.

"Wait, your change," I quickly pick out his charge, holding it out to him, I notice his eyes flick towards the charity pots, "you can put it that," he says, once again smiling. I nod, putting the change in the pot and picking up a mental health flyer from beside the pot and hold it out, "here,"

They look down at the flyer, I notice a sad little smile on Nices face before he reaches for the flyer, taking it from me, "thanks," he says, his eyes still on the flyer, I give him a warm smile and nod.

"See you around Cupcake," Smirks nods, turning around, Nice holds his hand up like a wave and gives me a smile before turning around.

And that's when I notice Nice has tattoos...I could see a little peek out when he held his hand up, I turn towards Scary who was already outside, but I bet he had tattoos as well. Possible Gang members?!

Did I really just serve a bunch of gang members chocolate chip cookies... And also offer to save them from possibly their leader... Wow...

I watch as they get in their car, eventually pulling away. Please, let's not see each other around, I think I've had my enough fair share of gang members.

I walk inside, locking the door after me, "Cayden! You won't believe what-" I say walking into the living room, only to pause at the scene in front of me, "well, in this case, you probably will believe what happened,"

"Hey cupcakes," Smirks holds his hand up, "nice to see you again,"

I take a deep breath, trying to calm down, "Cayden," I say slowly, "what was rule no.3?"

The guys around the room all turn to Cayden who narrows his eyes at me, confused, "eh...Don't touch your stuff?"

I raise a brow at him, tilting my head to the side, "that's rule No.1... Regla número 3. no invite a sus amigos de pandillas por favor!" I ranted, why am I speaking Spanish...?

"You speak Spanish?" Cayden asks, looking shocked.

I shrug, "I was bored." Not that I had absolutely nothing to do during senior summer break because my friends abandoned me.

"Anyways, I apologise, they're family," Cayden points towards the 3 very gang member looking individuals.

I nod," oh, in that case, please do stay, quedarse para siempre por qué no!" I finished, a smile on my face, hoping my sarcasm was clear.

"Really! Thanks cupcake, where we sleeping?" Smirks decide to say.

"CAYDEN!"

Here come the boys😁

|Translation|

Regla número 3. no invite a sus amigos de pandillas por favor - Rule number 3. don't invite your gang friends please
