Okay, so you know how I mentioned that sometimes I don't write gold worthy stories? This is one of those times. I had no idea what I wanted to write for this theme, so...chaotic cheesecake story it is! Sorry about how these tend to be a little late! - Element
Valerie Blaylock gave Markus a look.
"Since when do you like cheesecake?" Valerie asked, glaring at the box with "cheesecake" written on it.
"Well...I just thought that maybe everyone would like some cheesecake, since everyone's always working so hard, you know..." Markus said.
"Getting cheesecake for your coworkers? That's not like you, Markus," Valerie replied.
"Okay, okay, you got me, Val. I got cheesecake because it's Elena's birthday," Markus sighed.
"Wait, what?! Why didn't you tell me so I could get a gift for her, Markus? I'm her friend too, you know!" Valerie yelled, panicking.
"Calm down, Valerie! We don't need Elena to know that we're giving her gifts for her birthday."
"Come on! I've got to figure out what I'm going to give her for her birthday!" Valerie yelled, dragging Markus towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Elena asked.
"Um...well..." Valerie said, "I was going to get you a birthday present, but the fact is, I had no idea it was your birthday, so...Happy birthday, Elena!"
"I got you some cheesecake," Markus said.
"Wait, cheesecake?!" Elena asked. "I love cheesecake! Can I have a piece, please?" Markus handed her the box. "Mmm! Thank you! This is like heaven, Markus!" Elena said, running off with the cheesecake.
"How did you-"
"Know that Elena liked cheesecake? I didn't."
