Chapter 3 Cake Pick-Up

I left at 7.30pm, my home was just 20 minutes away from Ava's place, so I reached her place before time.

I wanted to bring Sam and Will together with me but unfortunately Sam has a basketball match tonight and Will had a video-conference to attend to ... well even if he had nothing going on, he still won't have attended that I'm sure of. He loves to stay by himself as much as possible, sometimes I do wonder why he has changed so much... he use to be like me and Sam but all of a sudden he became so different, like a whole new person.

I parked my car near Ava's place at the parking lot then got off and walked towards her house, her place was busting with people everywhere even through the party has still 2 hours to start.

Ava's parents were away at a workshop out of the country and her smaller brother is at boarding school, so Ava planned to have the party at her place since it was convenient.

I entered Ava room which was a mess with things scattered here and there and her bed had a pile of clothes on it. 'Don't panic she has been like this since forever'

What's up? I asked Ava as I saw her emerge from the bath-room wearing a cute mini flame red dress.

My sweetie thank god you are here!

What's wrong? I asked, looking at her Ava's worried face.

Oh it's just that the cake is still haven't arrived here Ava replied looking brood

What? The party will start in 2 hours why isn't the cake still haven't arrived I asked

I don't know, they said that some problems happened with the delivery man and they won't be able to delivery it in time ... Ava was in a really bad mood

I looked at her Ava worried face and told her not to worry, I will go pick the cake and will make sure it reaches here on time.

Oh thanks my dear darling Ava thanked with a smile.

Just tell me the address, I said with a playful look

But you have to get ready first before leaving, and make sure to arrive on time for the party even if the cake doesn't come here on time, it doesn't matter as far as my best friend is here.

Ha-ha I will ... chill, I go and get ready quick and leave.

Alrite ... be safe

After quickly getting ready, I left in my car towards the cake shop.

Who knew what was waiting for me in the cake shop...

As I parked my car right outside the cake shop, I saw that the shop had a close sign, wtf I said in my mind.

I got off the car quickly as possible when I saw a man in his 30's came out running, I stopped him and told him that I here to collect a ordered cake, and asked for the reason why the cake shop is closed?

He replied back in a hurry that his wife is pregnant, and he needs to rush over to the hospital as soon as possible.

I'm sorry and Congratulations to you on becoming a father but can you please give me the cake first before going, it's urgent or else I won't have bothered you at this time I quickly pleaded.

The man handled me a key and said he will have to trouble me to get the cake by myself and asked me to return the key back to him later. I thanked him, and he quickly made his way to the hospital.

I opened the cake shop and entered it, looking for Ava's birthday cake, finally I found it in the kitchen with another cake just beside it, it looked way great then Ava birthday cake but it didn't had any writings on top on it.

I wonder who ordered this cake, I said in my mind ... "the design of the cake is so unique"

After retrieving Ava's birthday cake, I was just about to open the front door to see myself out when I collided into someone who just entered, the cake went flying whereas I slipped and was about to fall hard on the floor, but at the last moment someone grabbed my waist in time, and I suddenly collided into a solid hard chest instead.
