Cupcakes and Rubber Ducks
Chapter 2: old school fluffunater.
All things twilight are owned by SM, and i just make them like sweets and have awesome headphones
4 days and 3 new cupcakes later I was taken away from ringing up a usual costumer by a set of lime green eyes staring down my cupcake display. I had been waiting for him to come back, just so I could see if he was lying to me about liking my cupcakes. I was even more interested to see if he would keep his promise of trying more cupcakes. And thats where it all started. After Alice and her green eyed sexed brother left, I spent hours upon hours working on new cupcakes. I had some successes like the moxie cupcake which was a chocolate and moxie soda base and a cola flavored buttercream and the chocolate cherry delight, a dark chocolate cupcake with fresh cherry pieces baked inside and a powdered sugar top. But there were some misses like the "after school special", a peanut butter chip cupcake with a strawberry grape infused frosting, I though I was going to fall over laughing at Jessica and Samantha's reaction to that one, both running to the sinks, pushing each other out of the way. Then there was the mistake of a lime rickey cupcake, a raspberry cupcake and a lime infused frosting, good in theory but still had a long way to go before it would make the front counter.
This was all at the same time while doing sketches for Alice's wedding, which I was informed was in the middle of a bidding war for which magazine was going to cover it. Jasper was some big time baseball player but baseball wasn't my sport. Nor was it a big thing in the bakery. Hockey on the other hand is where Sam and I went crazy. Samantha and I met at college at McGill where she was a business commerce major and I was a voice major. It was the only thing I knew how to do, sing. That was until the middle of senior year when they discovered a cluster of polyps on my vocal cords. My teacher were great and I still ended up graduating with my degree. But it was in the middle of sophomore year when Stephanie and I decided to go to a baking class that we found our true love for the pastry world. We stayed in school to get our degrees and Sam is still using her degree as she works also on the business side of Sweet Leafs. I sang once and a while at weddings after my voice healed but now I'm working in the bakery all the time. Now I was getting stared down by a set of green eyes that would set my panties on fire.
"You came back" I smiled and crossed my arms as I slightly checked him out. And yet again her caught me doing it. " I count stay away from the cupcakes I must say. Plus I had to see you again" What was he saying, what was I hearing, was I dreaming? " Yea you see alice wants you to come to new york city, says talking on Skype isn't enough and she needs your help." I had grown close to Alice and it looked like her wedding planner Tanya was not helping as much as she had helped. After working on over 2000 wedding cakes, I started to learn a lot about the entire wedding planning process.
" What seems to be the issue now"He looked at me and licked his lips with the tip of his young and I garbed onto the counter with all I could to make sure my knees didn't buckle out form under me." Can't a customer buy a cupcake first? Whats this one with the new sign."He spotted my fluffanutter cupcake. It was a peanut butter chip cupcake with a marshmallow fluff filling and a light vanilla sugar frosting and sprinkled with sugar on top. I had made it after the epic fail that was the PB&J cupcake, hoping to have him come back in and try that exact cupcake. "I'll give you the cupcake if you will explain to me what your darling sister needs now and why I must go to new york city when honestly im up to my eyeballs in fondant."
He snickered at my last comment and I wondered if he even knew what fondant was. "What time are you done tonight?" Wow, he was serious."She can leave whenever, she doesn't have any clients for the rest of the afternoon and I can close up shop" I looked at Sam and gave her a death stare "Good then how about I meet you back here at 4:30? Then we can just drive there. By the way, how much do I owe you for the cupcake? I cant let you give me a second free cupcake in less that one week, besides, ill buy more, Jasper asked if I could. "I looked at him and nodded as he stepped out the shop. I felt as if my world was going to stop. I was being rushed out of the shop to run back to my house to get ready.
I quickly showered and threw on my roots hoody and my favorite jeans and red chucks. I garbed my bag and the cupcakes holders I had for Jasper and Alice, as well as an individual one for Edward. Jessica called me to tell me that she was coming to pick me up so that I wouldn't have to rick getting a parking ticket in Boston while I was in New York City. As I was just finishing throwing my hair back into braids , Jess pulled up in her car and I jumped in. we were lucky not to hid mid day traffic. When we got back it was 4:25, I had just enough time to grab the cupcakes to bring to Alice and Jasper and finish icing the special cupcake for the ride up. Just as I was placing it inside the individual cupcake holder, I see a bright blue mustang pull up to the front of the shop, and out walks a mop os bronze scattered hair on a 6'1 frame of pure man. He had sunglasses on, a princeton shirt, jeans which were tight enough to see his firm but as he turned around the lock the car, and some chucks. At least I knew we had similar taste in footwear. As he walked in I caught a whiff of old spice and fresh laundry it smelled like.
" So, anything new since this morning?" "Wouldn't you like to know, by the way did alice by any chance tell you how long she wanted me in the city for? I kinda don't wanna have to leave the shop for longer than possible"I looked at him as he took of his glasses and then stared at my chest for a second then up to my eyes and caulked his head as if to be checkin out my ears. I had a few airings yes but nothing so out of the ordinary, just a cartilage, one on the lobe and the Tragus, which I has done on my 24th birthday. "What, you never seen a girl with earrings?"
I looked and said in a manner that was a bit cocky and inquisitive while teasing and down wright flirty.
" You look nice with your hair back, and yes I have seen girls with earrings before" I smirked a little and nervously bit my bottom lip jest enough to make sure i wasn't blushing so hard that my cheeks wouldn't match my red hoody. "And no she didn't not tell me how long but I don't expect more than a week, and I already asked your other employes and they are going to cover you, and don't worry about clothing. Knowing alice, she will have you out shopping before you have time to sit down." I was still in shock that he liked my hair back and that had called me on my bullshit. " O.K. well then lets go I guess" . I snapped shut the cupcake case and put the individual cupcake holders in my purse.
As we walked out to his car I could only snicker that sex god would drive a sex car and have it in electric blue of all colors. After I put my big back in the trunk and the cupcake case in the backseat we settled in and started on the road. After about 20 minutes of driving and no talking, just the music of Claire de Lune and some british biting band names the wombats, I heard a grumble, and could tell that my green eyed sex god was getting hungry. I opened my purse and shook my head slightly as I took out one of the cupcake containers and passed it to him. "Here I though you might get hungry" As he took it from my hands, I felt a spark of electricity that sent a bolt to my core. I knew he felt it to because I heard a light audible gasp from him as well. I couldn't watch him eat the cupcake so I put in my duck headphones and turned on my so you think you can dance play list. The music was lough enough to block out the outside noise but soft enough to hear Edward moan with pleasure after taking a bite out of the cupcake. "What kind is this, I think I may have a new favorite Miss Bella" I snicked at him calling me Miss Bella, thinking about my time teaching voice to little kids in Canada, when they called me Miss Bella. "Its mint marshmallow" " Your cupcakes are incredible... and so are you..."
