Hi! This is a one-shot funny story about Cinna and Effie, attempting to bake a cake. Let's see how it goes...
Cookies
Effie woke up in the morning, she stretched and yawned then looked over to her side and saw Cinna, fast asleep. She smiled and shook her head at him. He lay there outstretched and almost dead to the world. Effie considered waking him but then she thought she'd be kind and let him sleep a little longer. He had a late night anyway. She knew he did because he still had a sketchpad on his lap whilst she was drifting off and that was very late already. She got up from the bed and got dressed in a simple outfit: a simple white shirt, a blue woollen cardigan and a black skirt. She dressed simply these days and it was all because of Cinna! Effie was happy though, she couldn't complain, having a stylist for a husband, a pretty good one too. She smiled at her husband, who was still asleep.
Effie went down the stairs to the kitchen and started to get to work, she needed eggs, butter, sugar, salt and flour, just like Peeta had instructed her.one glass of sugar and one glass of butter, cream all of that together.. she said to herself, recalling what Peeta told her. She suddenly felt Cinna's chin on her shoulder, it startled her.
"So what are you doing?" asked Cinna. Effie was surprised that Cinna got up so early. Cinna rarely did mornings.
"Cookies" she replied "Do you think this is creamy enough?" she asked, showing Cinna the butter and sugar mixture.
"Looks alright... I wonder what it tastes like?" Effie smiled, she knew what he was getting at.
"Go on then greedy, and use a spoon." Cinna gave Effie a cheesy grin, got a spoon and lightly dipped it in the bowl.
"Tastes heavenly!" he said "What's next?"
"Flour." replied Effie. Oh dear... she thought, Cinna and flour? I don't think so! She carefully measured out a glass of flour, tipping the bag only slightly and very carefully. She breathed in and passed the cup of flour to Cinna with an uncomfortable smile. "I'll stir the mixture while you add the flour, slowly.." she said, emphasizing on the word slowly. In a matter of moments, there was flour all over the floor. "Cinna!" Effie shouted angrily, but then she started laughing and picked up a bit of flour in her hands and threw it on Cinna's face. He started coughing and spluttering and he narrowed his eyes at Effie who was now laughing hysterically.
They hear an knock on the door,
"I'll open it," said Effie and Cinna replied.
"I'm not sure if it's a good idea, have you seen yourself in a mirror." Cinna said and Effie sighed.
"At least I don't wear a wig and a ton of white makeup." she said as she opened the door.
"Hi Effie... umm Effie you look... different." laughed Peeta. He looked behind Effie and saw the kitchen and white footsteps that Effie made as she walked down to the hall. He then saw Cinna standing in the kitchen, looking very guilty. "Don't even waste your breath trying to explain." Peeta sighed. "You were trying to make cookies..."
A very short story. Hope you liked it! ;) I need ideas though for future stories. One-shots? A collection of drabbles? Please help and leave a message in the reviews! :)
