You feel an annoying ray of warmth on your face, as you hear the sound of a loud agitating alarm clock buzzing though your ears. How many times has it gone off now? Wait... what?! Your eyes shoot open as you hasty sat up, you lean over to your night stand and swiftly swipe your alarm clock from it. "Crap!" You shout noticing the time on the clock, you jump out of bed in a hurry for the shower. You had just remembered why you set your alarm clock in the first place, today was Valentine's Day. Your best friend Deanna had invited, more like demanded your presents at the party she was hosting at her new apartment; that her and her boyfriend had just moved into. Not only that, but she also asked you to help with baked goods, so you were going to be pretty much screw if you didn't step on it. Once getting out of the shower, you put on some comfortable clothes you wouldn't mind getting a little dirty. You were running around your kitchen totally disorganized, trying to get all the bake goods done that she had asked for. A few hours had pass and you look over at the clock hanging in your kitchen, seeing that it was nearly time for the party. You were cutting it a little close, you decided to get ready now. Remembering Cass; the owner of Lucky Cat Cafe, you thought while getting ready you can always just order the rest of what you need from her. With that you finish getting ready; putting on your simple red dress that had the opening in the back, with your short black boots and your hair tied in a low side pony tail, as you fixed your bangs to hang cutely from the side. You were finally ready to get going. You start loading the baked goods into your car, once finish with that you hop in the drivers seat and take off to the Lucky Cat Cafe.
You hasty park the car, knowing it was a sloppy job but you could care less at the moment since you were going to be running late for Deanna's party. You rush inside the Lucky Cat Cafe; and thank goodness there was no one line nor was she very busy right now. You make your way full force to the counter, calling out to owner. "Cass! Thank goodness you're not busy today! I don't know what I would do if you were." You gave an exasperated sigh, as you slouch over the counter.
Cass would give a cheerful laugh, as she pat the top of your head lightly, "Haha, I don't usual see you in such a rush. What's the problem (y/n)?" Cass said, with a warm smile.
"It's Deanna's party today! And I told her that I would help with baked goods, but I couldn't get all of them done because I woke up late." You said, with a small pout on your lips and a hint of distress in your voice.
"No problem kiddo!~ Just tell me what you need and I'll ring you up!" Cass said, with that loud cheerful voice of hers.
"Oh Thank you, Cass you're such a life saver!" You said, gleefully as you started telling Cass the handful of things you needed still.
Cass would walk away from the counter as she began to get everything for you, at this time Tadashi, her nephew would come down the stairs. You had own Cass for a few years, since your freshmen years in high school actually; so you kind of knew her nephew's Tadashi and Hiro. Although you never knew them too well, since they were always out and about, and the only time you really talked to them was when they were forced to help out with the bakery. Today, it would seem it was that it was Tadashi turn. You were still lean over the counter as he noticed you, walking over to you as he lean on the other side of the counter facing you now.
You would jump slightly, your cheeks blushing lightly as you said, "Jeez Tadashi! Don't scare me like that!"
"Hahaha, I can't help it if you're easily scared." He said, with a playfully smirk on his lips. "Anyways what's got you so down?"
"Today's Deanna party, and I kind of said I would help her out with baked goods, but-" Before you could even finish your sentence, he would cut you off.
"Ah, I see you woke up late and couldn't get everything done. In other words, you were being lazy and forgetful this morning" He said, as he gave a mischievous smile.
"W-Well.." You sigh, saying as giving in and putting your head down. "Yeah pretty much."
"Tsk, Tsk, Miss. Forgetful" He said, teasing her.
"Oh, shut up!" You said, as you would pout slightly.
At this time Cass would come back, with everything you needed in a small box. "Here you go kiddo, let me just ring you up now." She said, as she turned to the cash. After putting it in, she would look over at you noticing how cutely you were dressed today. "Wow (y/n), you look so pretty! Don't you think so Tadashi?" She would turn to her nephew, as she smiled excitedly.
Tadashi, just now noticing your appearance would blush heavily. He wasn't use to seeing you in a dress, since you didn't wear them that often nor did you dress up often. "Oh, Um, Yeah. I mean yes, you look really nice, not in a weird way! J-Just you look nice." He said, tripping over his words.
You couldn't help but giggle at him, you always thought it was kind of cute when he acted awkward whenever you dressed up. It made you feel like he actually saw you as a girl, not just close costumer. "Thanks, hehe I know what you mean." You said, with a small smile on your lips.
Cass would look at them both, watching this unfold before her eyes. Her eyes would hold a small twinkle in them, it seemed as if she had plotted something. "Hey! I have an idea, what if you went with her Tadashi to Deanna party! I'm sure Deanna wouldn't mind right?"
"No, No it's fine really. Besides, parties aren't really my thing Aunt Cass." Tadashi said, before you could get a word in trying to defend himself.
"Oh c'mon! You've been cooped up in house for a week already, you don't do anything besides help me with the bakery and study. Have a little fun, don't be so boring!" She said, trying to persuade him.
"I don't know Aunt Cass, who's going to help you with the Bakery?" He said, as he nervously rubbed the nape of his neck.
"Pssh! Don't worry about that, besides it's almost Hiro turn anyways. I'm sure starting early won't kill him, all he does is play video games all day." She said, pushing the matter.
Tadashi would sigh giving in, there was just no fighting or winning with his Aunt Cass. He would smile a bit, still rubbing the nape of his neck a little, "Well...Okay, if you think it'll do me some good."
"Well, then we should probably get going, like right now. Before she chews me out, because I was suppose to be there 30minutes ago." You said, finally able get in something. "Again, Thanks a lot Cass you're a life saver." You said, as you pay Cass and turn to the box on the counter reaching to pick it up. Before you could do so, Tadashi would take it in his arms with a smile and start walking towards the door saying, "Allow me." You would give a small laugh as you said, "Why thank you Sir." You make your way to your car that's park across the street from the cafe, as you unlock the car he would place the box in the back seat before getting into the passenger seat.
"Are you sure you want to go? I could always drop you off someone else and just tell Cass that you went." You said, as you start the car.
"No, it's fine. Besides, It'll be um... an interesting experience." He said, unsure of even his own words.
"Okay then" You said, with a small smile on your lips and gave a small chuckle. As you start driving down the street away from cafe, you would turn on radio.
Mean while back in the back cafe, Aunt Cass was watching inside with high spirits and a big grin on her face. "I hope this is the push they need to get together already." She said, to herself as she called her nephew Hiro down to help.
