Chapter 9
"So what else do you guys have to do?" Mimi curiously asked from her sitting position on Roger's lap in The Life Café.
"Tomorrow we're going to find a wedding cake." Angel said. "We even get to taste test!"
"Taste test?" Collins ears perked up. "Can I come?"
"Sure honey." Angel smirked while rubbing a foot up his leg.
"Tomorrow is Saturday. Joanne do you want to come too?" Maureen asked while her hand snaked up the lawyer's thigh.
"Sure honeybear." Joanne smiled.
Suddenly the owner walked by, and since he thought Maureen and Angel were a couple, the two quickly sprang for each other, and molded into a hug.
Mark couldn't help but laugh at the sight. "Wow you two are really committed."
"It's all about playing a character." Maureen winked. "I'm playing Angel's lover, and this is what lovers do."
"Well just watch it…" Collins warned in a playful tone. "That's my boyfriend so watch your hands."
"Relax professor." Maureen said. "I have a girlfriend, I'm not going to steal Angel away. And I doubt Angel would ever leave you for anyone anyways." Her eyes then landed on Joanne. "Speaking of girlfriends, Joanne can we go home now? I really wanna go down on you. I've been thinking about it all day."
"Maureen!" Joanne blushed, but not shocked that Maureen would be so blunt in front of her friends. Slowly she stood up and grabbed Maureen's hand and pulled her along. "Yeah lets go…"
Roger smiled as he watched the couple leave, his mind filling with typical dirty thoughts. His eyes then shifted to Angel who was whispering in Collins ear, making Collins grin like a mad man. "I'm guessing you two are leaving too?"
"You guessed it!" Collins chuckled as he pulled Angel out of the door.
"Come on Mimi." Roger said. "That's our cue to leave as well."
The next day, Collins, Angel, Maureen and Joanne entered a bakery, one that made wedding cakes. They all walked to the back and were greeted by a man and a woman.
"Hello I'm Derek and this is my wife Lucy." The man said while shaking all four hands.
"You two own this shop together?" Joanne asked with a smile.
"For twenty years." Derek replied.
"So cute!" Angel squealed he then grabbed Maureen's hand. "Maybe we can open our own shop once we're married."
"Jee I can't wait." Maureen sarcastically replied.
"So you two are the engaged couple?" Lucy asked.
"Yes we are." Angel smirked while kissing the top of her hand.
"And you brought friends along?" Derek smiled.
"For the taste testing." Collins added with a grin. "Friends don't let other friends buy gross wedding cake!"
"Very thoughtful." Derek said while his eyes landed on Joanne. "Are you two a couple?"
Joanne shook her head. "Uh we-"
"Yes." Collins cut in, taking Joanne's hands in his own, causing Maureen to snort. "No where near ready to get married though…"
"Well how about we find a cake for the engaged couple, and then maybe next year we can find a cake for you two?" Lucy winked.
"Sounds good." Collins said while wrapping an arm around Joanne's shoulders. "Lead the way to the food."
Angel wrapped an arm around Maureen's waist, the two of them trying hard not to laugh as they watched Joanne and Collins.
"Okay…" Lucy said as she pulled a book out and set it in front of all four bohemians. "This is my wedding cake book. It's all organized for you, so you shouldn't have a problem looking through it."
"Organized?" Joanne asked with perked up ears.
Lucy proudly smiled. "Yup, you will see that I split the cakes up by different sizes, shapes, and colors. I even laminated all the pages just in case."
Joanne's face beamed as her fingertips grazed the neatly structured the book.
"Joanne?" Angel giggled watching the lawyer's eyes widen in delight.
Joanne slowly looked up. "I think I just had a tiny orgasm."
"Pookie!" Maureen laughed her hand then reached over to take Joanne's. "Later tonight when we get home, I'll give you a proper…"
Angel cleared his throat as Lucy and Derek stood before them. Maureen quickly stopped her sentence and wrapped her arms around Angel's neck.
"I'll give Angel a proper orgasm…" Maureen said. "Okay so how about those cakes?"
"Oh chica…" Angel giggled as he placed a kiss on Maureen's cheek.
About an hour later, Angel picked the perfect cake design with the help of Joanne, while Maureen and Collins taste tested everything.
"This one!" Angel pronounced happily, his finger pointing to a stacked white wedding cake, with random pink flowers scattered about.
"Beautiful choice." Lucy smiled.
"Have our taste testers picked the flavor of the inside?" Derek asked.
"Yup." Maureen said with a nod, the corners of her mouth full of chocolate. "It's going to be chocolate cake on the inside."
"With fudge as one of the layers." Collins added while pushing his empty plate away.
Derek nodded. "Chocolate lovers I see."
"Collins come here." Angel smiled his hand reaching out to rub chocolate off of his lips. "You have chocolate everywhere."
"Why don't you let me get that?" Joanne questioned, watching as Angel became a little to intimate with Collins.
"I got it-"Angel frowned but then followed Joanne's eyes towards Maureen, who was supposed to be his actual girlfriend.
"You are a close bunch of friends." Derek noted with a smile.
"You have no idea." Angel smirked as he reluctantly pulled away from Collins.
