Chapter 45: Fred, Resa (OC) and Hugo

Coffee flavour: blueberry cream

Extra prompts: glory, model, incandescent


Resa sprinkled a handful of blueberries over the cream covering the meringue, then dusted icing sugar over the completed Pavlova.

"Looks yummy," said a voice, as large, warm hands snaked around her waist.

"Fred, not here! Hugo could be here any minute," she hissed, but she didn't resist when he turned her around in his arms and pressed a kiss to her lips.

"It'll be fine, he won't find out."

Resa pulled away. "But he will, and then he'll be so angry!"

"Incandescent, I should imagine," said Fred dryly. Resa stifled a giggle.

"Don't, he's your cousin!"

"Screw him," Fred said visciously, slapping his hands into the sink, which was full of water and bubbles. Most of it splashed over Resa, who spluttered and gasped, glaring at Fred. Then she threw a large handful of blueberries at him. Two connected with his chest, staining his t-shirt, and some of the others got tangled in his hair.

Fred squirted whipped cream at her, and she cracked an egg over his head; they looked at each other and doubled over laughing, finding it hard to breathe. Then-

"What the hell are you two doing?" Hugo stood in the doorway, glaring at his cousin.

Resa stepped between them and said brightly: "Baking!"
