Their was a silence between the three of us, I know Watari was completely lost in our side conversation. I'm sure Lawiet will fill him in later, I turned around and faced Lawiet. I hugged him tightly surprising him greatly. I inhaled his scent which was just the same as a child; wild strawberries mixed with sugar. I slowly let go of him and look him in the eyes,
"I spent 21 years looking for you all across the world you know that right." I asked
"No I did not." He frowned "You shouldn't have"
"I needed to I had unfinished business with you, I wanted to thank you for being my first friend, and my first love." I whispered blushing "I'll be back in the morning I've got some unfinished business back at the bakery."
I left the room stopped by the door remembering all the locks on the door, I swiped my hand across using my wind element to unlock all the locks. I looked back at Lawiet my eyes slightly watered. I remembered the way out of the building forgetting my shoes back in the building. I couldn't careless, I preferred walking barefoot just like my best friend. I've walked across fire numerous times, I felt his eyes watching me from the top floor as I crossed the street. My puppy dog met up with me outside the building and we walked together to my bakery that was many miles away.
I had a judging session a day and a half from now, I needed to make all of my cultures delicacies in order for them to be judged by the head chef of my people. This was a judgment of the confectionery people that I was alright to be part of the throne for being a great baker like the current queen. As I reached my bakery I started with making my own flour and I did not stop working on my master pieces even after Lawiet some how managed to find my bakery out in the middle of no where. I gave him a few samples before returning to the kitchen.
The door jingled as a head chef entered my humble little store, His face stern as it always was. I turned to bow at him as he entered towards the judging table. A stack of tooth picks appeared out of thin air as he started to sample all of my creations. All of the creations take the mood you are in and amplify it into a taste, that you can feel as it enters your mouth and melts away. Since I had found Lawiet it benefited me to have love and peace of mind when I was baking. Waiting for the results I believed that this was the best batch of everything I've ever done so far. Or at least according to Lawiet's face when he tasted everything himself.
"This is awful compared to your last test." The head chef said lying "You could have done much better than this... this is a disgrace to your people and your career." He finished snarling
"How can it be I put all my heart and soul into this one." I say sighing
"Because you put too much in it and it sways people too much if they eat it." He growled
"But that's the point of making emotional food to sway people too much to know how you feel."
"I will take a sample of everything for the queen and she will have the last say. I order to close up your shop until then." He ordered
"Yes sir," I said sadly
I turned and took off my apron and started to clean up my kitchen with tears dripping down my cheeks. Watari entered the kitchen to help me clean my messy kitchen. Lawiet was pissed off... I could tell because he also picked up that the guy was lying about my real score. He helped pack the rest of the sweets that did not go into his stomach, into containers to take back to the hotel. I crumbled after I cleaned the fourth oven from droppings. My head was in my hands as I started to sob loudly.
How could my father still dictate my scores even when I wasn't part of his house hold any more. How could he have so much power against me. Making the people against me to the throne even when the queen has picked me. I thought to myself crying louder
"What's wrong what went wrong while I was gone?!" Tunic said as he charged into the bakery.
"She got a bad score from the head chef." Lawiet growled
"That Bastard is only trying to make her look bad because he doesn't want to displease our father for making her look good to the people." Tunic cursed loudly
Tunic sat down beside me and tried to coux me out of the crumbled state I was in. I told him what the head chef told me about closing the shop.
"If I close this place where do I live after that on the streets?" I cursed "How can this keep happening to me even after all the trial and errors I do this is just not right at all." I cried
"If you don't have a place to stay you can stay with me." Lawiet spoke after eating another sweet.
"I couldn't burden you like that Lawiet, your my friend and I haven't been around you in 21 years." I hiccuped
"So friends let friends stay at their place when issues get bad... just like we did as kids." He frowned
"I would still feel like I was causing you trouble for taking me in like that." I whimpered
"Watari has already made the arrangements for you to live with us, just go gather your stuff and we can leave when you are done." Lawiet said soothingly
I get up not feeling like arguing any more than I had, I climbed up the stairs to my one bedroom apartment. I gathered everything to my bottomless bag, including my training weapons and clothing. I slip the light bag over my shoulders and look at the almost completely empty room. I leave my bedroom window unlocked encase I ever had to get back inside the house part. I slowly make my way down the stairs my happiness that had etched into the building became sadness as I had to leave my house that had been my home for 21 years. When I locked the door I looked at it very sadly slowly turning to the black Mercedes and got into the back seat with Lawiet. Who was eating a slice of my famous strawberry leveled cake.
When we return to the hotel Lawiet shows me which bedroom will be mine for the duration of my stay with him. I slowly unpack all my belongings into the room excluding my fine tuned weaponry of my culture. I didn't need to lose a new home by having to explain why, swords and knifes are in my custody and of different types and kinds on top of that. When I am finished unpacking, sitting on the edge of my bed Celestial Jr. cuddles up to me nuzzling his nose into my face licking the reminding tears.
A gentle knock on the door floats to my ears as if I were sitting in a distant land and the door miles away from me. Slowly standing up I go to answer the door, my hand is on the cold door knob. My breathing steady as analyzing the person behind the door. I can feel the presence behind the door there need to comfort me in some way to make everything better. Opening the door slowly the familiar face of Lawiet stands where the door was once closed. His bad posture as always brings a faint smile to my lips, his shoeless as always. But he is nervous about how to comfort me the correct way. He is stuck with how to start his sentence to me.
"What's wrong?" I asked softly
"I was wondering if you wanted to come into the living room and eat some cake?"
Shrugging my shoulders following him into the living room, I sit down on the couch across from him. Pulling my legs up to me and laying them down beside me. Looking outside at the last of nature hooray before winter would take hold. The storm slowly claims the city in its embrace lighting the sky with tendrils of light that last for only seconds before disappearing. Loud thunder rolls afterwards calming me to my core. The lighting brightens the room for every crack that tendrils through the night sky. I can feel his gray eyes watching me while I was studying natures wrath.
"Will you go to college with me," He asked politely while sipping on some of his overly sweet tea.
"Sure I am always up for a new experience" I faintly smiled at him
"Entrance exams are coming around next month or so."
He sat down his cup of tea on the low coffee table and handed me a cup. I thank him and take a hold of the delicate tea cup in my hands and slowly sip on the sweetest tea I had ever drank. I get up and go to the window to watch the storm closer a smile etching across my face. Lawiet comes over scratching the back of his leg with his foot. He stands their beside me as we watched the storm from beginning to end.
