AN: Hey guys! Here's a short little fluffy one shot that I wrote! Hope you enjoy!
"Cupcakes! Fresh homemade cupcakes!" Grant looked up from the sidewalk and stared at the girl sitting in a cardboard booth on her lawn with a sign that read Skye's Homemade Cupcakez: $1. And in most cases that wouldn't have been too out of the ordinary, except that this particular girl who was yelling at him looked to be about twenty years old. When she noticed him looking at her, the girl smiled. "Hey, you want a cupcake?" she asked. Intrigued, Grant walked over to the booth. "We have oreo, chocolate strawberry, vanilla raspberry, chai spice, and honey walnut flavours. Only a dollar!" she enticed.
"I'll take an oreo one, please" Grant said as he pulled out his wallet. "Aren't you a bit, um, mature to be running a cupcake stand?"
"Well first of all just because I'm twenty-three doesn't mean that I have to be mature about it. But yes, I guess I am. The thing is, I really like baking but I really shouldn't eat several dozen cupcakes. So this way I get to bake them and then get rid of them without gaining like twenty pounds". Grant had a feeling that she'd been eating several of the cupcakes anyways, because she was probably one of the most hyper people that he had ever met. No one spoke as fast as this girl did without being on a sugar high. As she explained Skye took the cover off of one of the dishes of cupcakes and put the pastry onto a little plastic plate before handing it to Grant.
"Well that's as good of an excuse as any" Grant replied as he handed her a dollar. Smiling he bit into the cupcake and instantly his eyes widened. "Holy hell that is amazing!" he exclaimed as soon as his mouth was empty. "You made this?"
Skye nodded. "Yep! I baked them all from scratch this morning."
"I think I am in love with this cupcake" Grant moaned as he took another bite. "I seriously would marry this cupcake if I could."
"Hey, at least take it out to dinner first" Skye teased.
"Hmmm, I dunno. I mean you said that you made it just this morning, right? So this cupcake is a little young for me to be taking on dates. You on the other hand…" A moment after the words were out of his mouth Grant's brain caught up to him and he realized how stupid he sounded. But surprisingly Skye seemed to be into it.
"Well I might be willing to go out with you… But how do I know you're not just using me for my baking skills?" she asked teasingly.
"Well I guess you'll just have to trust me. Besides, these cupcakes are sweet, but you're sweeter." Grant paused for a moment and cringed a little bit. "And that was a terribly corny thing to say and I can't believe that it just came out of my mouth and I'm going to walk away now before I make an even bigger fool of myself." He turned and took a few paces before Skye called after him.
"So I'll see you at seven?" she asked.
Grant smiled and called back over his shoulder without stopping, "I'll pick you up, sugar!"
AN: So I guess you could say that I kept that chapter short and sweet! Ba-dum-tss. Oh god I'm just as bad as Grant! So I too am going to bow out gracefully now, leaving you only with a simple request for reviews! 3
