"I'm excited!" Elliot whispered with a childish grin as we walked hand in hand to the cake shop entrance.
"Me too." I grinned back, squeezing her hand just slightly.
The shop itself was tiny which, I think, made the cakes look bigger and tastier. Good selling tactics if you ask me.
Elliot and I were greeted at the door by a large and over-enthusiastic man in a suit.
"Good morning! Can I be of any assistance?"
"We were looking for Mr Dixon?"
"Ah, Mr Dorian yes?"
"Yes, that's me."
"Come through to the back!" The man laughed cheerily as he led Elliot and me through to the back of the shop.
"Okaayy..." Elliot mouthed to me as we walked into a small kitchen-y area at the back of the shop.
There was a little table in the corner with three chairs around it. We were told to sit there and wait for Mr Dixon.
"Elliot, remind me why we picked this place to order a wedding cake from again?"
"Because, as...quirky as it is, they really do make the best wedding cakes!"
"How do you know this?"
"Sweetie, I've been mentally planning out this wedding since I was a little girl, I've done my research!"
I laughed and opened my mouth to reply to my fiancée when Mr Dixon himself walked in.
"JD and Elliot?"
"That's us." I replied as the old-ish man sat down on the third chair surrounding the table.
"I'm Mr Dixon, but please call me Harry."
Elliot and I went on to try dozens of cake samples until we found the cake we wanted for our wedding. We thanked Mr D-, Harry, and made our way to Turk and Carla's.
"Uncle JD!" Izzie screamed as I walked into the Turk household, Elliot not far behind me.
"Hey mocha cub, how are you?"
"I'm great, do you like my fairy outfit Uncle JD?"
"I love it!" I replied, tickling Izzie playfully until Elliot joined us.
"Aunt Elliee!" Izzie gave Elliot a big hug.
"Hey Izzie! I love your fairy costume!" Elliot smiled at the 4 year old, carrying her through to the main room where Turk and Carla were occupied with Gabriel, their one year old.
Greetings were exchanged between the four of us before we all sat down to chat.
"So how did the cake tasting go?" Carla asked, balancing Gabriel on her lap.
"Really well, we've ordered a cake and decided on decoration and everything!"
"That's great guys." Carla smiled at the two of us.
"So Turk, shall we get going? I've got some awesome stuff planned for this afternoon!"
"Yeah, let's go! I'll just get my stuff." Turk said getting up from the couch.
We all stood to start saying goodbye but Carla had to go and put a sleeping Gabriel in his crib.
I turned to face Elliot, who wrapped her arms around my waist.
"Be good, you."
"I will babe, don't worry." I grinned at my fiancée, leaning down to kiss her.
Turk came back in the room with his stuff.
"Okaayy, get a room guys."
Elliot and I turned to face Turk, arms still wrapped safely round each other.
"I'm just saying!"
"Okay, I'm going now, bye" I said, giving Elliot a quick kiss.
"See you later." she smiled as Turk and I made our way out of the apartment...
