Sugar Cookie

Sugar Cookie

It was 3 p.m. and I decided I would go rest at Café Callaway and visit Katie. I walked slowly thinking of what I should get when I suddenly bumped into Lyla. We both fell down and she scrambled up and helped me.

"Oh! I'm so sorry Kyle. I didn't see where I was going."

She blushed and she faced her head down.

"It's okay Lyla. I wasn't either."

She immediately faced me and smiled. She then walked off to I-don't-know-where.

Before I knew it I was in front of Café Callaway. I walked inside nodding to whoever was nice enough to pay attention to me and ask how I was doing. I only saw Henry busy painting a blue vase with moondrop flowers in it, Meryl who kept on bugging Ronald to buy her some cookies, and Bob talking to Carl about adding beer to the menu. I walked up to Carl who looked happy that he could talk to someone else other than Bob.

"Hello Kyle. You need anything?"

"Where's Katie?"

"Katie? She's in the kitchen baking some sugar cookies. You should know by now she adds way too much sugar in everything. Even in something with already lots of sugar."

He chuckled a bit and walked back to the counter. Bob left making him relax. As I walked inside the kitchen I heard Katie singing. I listened closely to her singing. It was beautiful. To me it was like an angel singing. She turned around and saw me smiling at her. Her face began to be red.

"Were you here the whole time?"

I nodded and I would have sworn she was redder than an apple or a tomato or a strawberry. Actually she was all of those.

"Oh."

She carried her sugar cookies and rushed past me. I held her arm before she left. I whispered in her ear, "You sing like an angel." I let her go and she stared at me. Her face was so red it looked like all the blood in there would burst her head open. I left and smiled, laughing a bit. Her hair smelt like sugar cookies.
