"I'll be there soon I promise" I muttered into my shoulder as I held my phone against it with my head, while I took some cupcakes out of the oven.
"Don't rush, he's not supposed to be in yet. You remember where I told you to hide them right?" my friends voice advised me. I nodded accidentally and dropped my phone to the ground making me shutter at the crashing sound it made.
"Schnitzel" I muttered under my breath as I leaned down to get it. The fire alarm went off in the shop suddenly, from the oven being left open, making my temper rise just a bit for a moment as the robotic voice began to annoyingly mutter.
"Fire, Fire" I quickly picked up my phone and slammed the oven door shut.
"Give me a moment" I told my friend in the calmest voice I could manage, and put the phone down on the counter, as I went to go wedge a couple windows open and turned on several fans. I shivered at the sudden amount of cold air in the room but finally after a minute or so the alarm went silent. There's nothing that makes you feel more frantic the a fire alarm going off.
"Anyways, you were saying?" I asked as I picked up my phone again.
"You ok over there?" I heard her chuckle.
"I'm fine, the fire alarm is just my worst enemy. Plus I love how it shouts that there's a fire going on, because obviously I wouldn't know that was going on if it was going off" I joked sarcastically. She laughed at the comment.
"Thanks so much for doing this though" she sighed.
"Don't mention it, it is my job and you made an order. Just as long as you pay me back with something good like...brownies with peanut butter. Together not separate" I told her.
"Glad you were specific on that"
"Well I will frost these and then deliver them. So have a good day you" I told her.
"You too" she answered back and I hung up. With a yawn I set back to my work of finishing them up and quickly stacked in this special container owned just for cupcake deliveries. The only downside to it is that you have to carry it with both hands so you have absolute no chance of being able to complete any other task while holding it. I was lucky to hobble out of the shop and lock door behind me, without any slips, as I made my way to the car. There was a bark from up above that caught my attention and I turned around to find my dog, a still growing Samoyed that wasn't exactly mine, looking at me through the window of my apartment that was above the shop.
"Guard the house Marsh" I shouted up at it, or tried to as I held my car keys in my mouth. I knew that the odds of the little guy taking down any burglar was far out but it was a ritual that just sort of stuck when we got him.
And now we were at the hard part, opening the car door. I tried to expertly drop my keys into my hands but they unfortunately missed and dropped onto the curb below me.
"Awesome" I sighed.
"Where am I supposed to park?" I said out loud as I pulled into the police station. Honestly did they have guest parking? I didn't really wanna test that out and possibly get a ticket for stealing someones parking spot so I parked on the curb and put way to much in the parking meter just to be safe.
"Ok I got this, I got this" I told myself as I pushed the front door open with my back taking everything step by step to make sure I didn't drop the cupcakes and also trying to be very secretive in case the recipient of them was in the building.
Hopefully this doesn't look to sketchy I thought not wanting to have to deal with having my food be thoroughly checked. My slow steps didn't benefit me though when it came to shouting across the room at an officer to hold the elevator open for me, which then lead to it shutting right as I stepped in front of it. Trying to put a lot of faith into my balance I kicked the up button and waited...and waited...and waited. With a satisfying ding the doors slid open and I stepped in glad to have the elevator to myself.
"I need to work out more" I huffed as my arms surprisingly began to hurt now from carrying the cupcakes. Finally I made it to the secret hiding place, which turned out to be quite the swank (yes I say swank don't judge) place. It was on office built like a sun room that gave you the whole view of the city.
"Hello?" I asked, as I spun around looking for anyone. There was no answer. I placed the container on what I assumed was a desk and rubbed my arms to get some feeling back into them.
Ok now leave so you're not being rude a part of me thought, but another wanted to take on last look out the window.
Nope there's nothing that'll be worse then getting caught and being none as that weird nosey cupcake chick who sneaks around peoples office's I had to remind myself and with that I spun around bumped into a guy.
CRAP I realized as I backed up immediately.
"I'm so sorry" I apologized brushing myself off as I glanced up to see a guy that was absolutely adorable.
"Iris told me I could drop these off in here. There for Eddie it's their anniversary or something but she said you'd be ok with it" I quickly summarized for the guy so he wouldn't think I wasn't snooping.
"Oh yeah" he finally replied with a nod stepping to the side letting me through.
"Nice office by the way" I told him as I began to walk out.
"Thanks" he said with a smile. Out of my peripheral vision I saw a name plate and suddenly everything connected.
"Oh you're Barry" I realized out loud.
"Yes, that is me" he agreed.
"Sorry I've heard loads about you, just never met you I'm River" I introduced myself.
"You're River" he realized.
"Yes, that is me" I copied him.
"Same with me, well obviously" he replied. The elevator dinged as our mutual friend stepped into the office with a pep in her step.
"Hey you two finally met each other!" Iris smiled at us.
Sorry if that was like super cheesy and like super short but tell me what you think and have a lovely day.
