Cake (Nino Love Story)

Chapter 6

Nino

After the speech, we sat down and the waiter serves us food. Raven finishes his food on the plate in not less than 5 minutes.

He just loves food, even if he's drunk and all, his appetite for food doesn't change. He is an unstoppable force.
So I tried to give some of my shares to Raven because I'm on a diet. He looked at me and drops the fork and spoon into his plate that creates a little sound. 

"Why are you giving your share to me? He said while looking at me intently.

"Stop that diet shit already, want me to get angry here or you'll eat?" He added.

So, yeah. I can't argue with the boss, with that serious voice? I don't think I can complain. He's terrifying yet sexy and cute approach. Hihi.

Well, Raven said when we were still dating that he will support me for all things that I want, and he did, so I want to repay him by following what he wants as long as it is for our own good.

This brings me up to the good memories the first time I met Raven in my bakeshop but before, it was only just a small bakery. I'd love to bake cookies and many more! And my best selling is cake, but, it's not just an ordinary cake. It's a chocolate Nino cake, it was featured in multiple tv shows but I didn't tell them my recipe. It was a hit in my place, lots of people go there, but, one morning, it changed everything.

An unknown woman was screaming, telling me that the cake that my staff served has cockroaches. She started throwing piercing words, that my bakery is dirty, that I'm dirty! Gosh! It is really humiliating in front of my customers!

I am trying to pull myself together. I'm trying to hold my temper, but, I came close to that woman and tried explaining to her that we always make sure we serve good and clean food to our customers. Though I'm mad, I said it in a very polite way.

But she didn't stop insisting that if our food here is clean, why would there be cockroaches in the cake.

"See? Is this the cake that you guys like?" Trying to persuade other customers.

"Ma'am, with all due respect! My bakery is clean and we have a Certificate in health and cleanliness inspection, so I am confident that the food that we serve here is clean and delicious. If you want, I can change your cake and pay you the same amount for the cake that you ordered." I said defending our bakeshop.

"So you're telling that I'm lying?!"

"How dare you!" as she saying those words she swings her right arm and threatening a crunchy slap to my tender skin.

I did not anticipate her actions. My eyes suddenly closed without me thinking, maybe to not see the embarrassment that is about to happen.

Split seconds passed, I opened my eyes, no slap landed on my beautiful face.

A man was standing in front of me, he was holding the hand of that woman!

"Isn't it too much? Mrs. customer you even tried to slap the chef who made this incredible cake, I thought you would stop after embarrassing her in front of so many people."

That person is trying to defend me, but it's useless, all the eyes of customers are down and some of them walked out without trying what I made. I feel like crying. What a mess.

"May I see your bag, madam?" He said, in a serious but polite way.

"W-what?! W-why do I need to show you my bag?! It's personal property you know!" the woman looked nervous as she replied.

"Oh! And that personal property is filled with a bunch of cockroaches? Hmm, I never heard of that hobby before. That's the real DEFINITION OF DIRTY!" the guy was smirking.

What does he know?!

He snatched the bag from the woman and he flips it! There, we saw her makeup, tissue, lipsticks as all of it scattered. Then he checked some of her belongings and we saw a transparent lunch box full of cockroaches! What the?!

"So, this is the property that you are talking about? Huh?!" that guy said, looking dead serious. Gosh!

"O-oh! It's not mine! Not mine, of course!"

All the people were looking at her angrily.

She walks away bringing her desperate face. Now, you're walking away?!

Luckily, a person was filming it and It'll expose her scheme. She wanted to destroy my bakery by doing that! What a shameless cat!

I looked at the guy who helped me and to my surprised, he walks away with his laptop. I tried to stop him to say thank you but I didn't catch him.

I wanted him to have a taste of my new banana cookies. When I see him again, I will thank him properly.

His height is about 170 cm. tall and at that time, he wears black skinny jeans, black sandals, and a black and white stripe t-shirt. His recognizable feature is his sharp blue eyes! Sharp that can cut whoever wants to look at him.

Days have passed, my bakery is back to normal but I haven't seen him. I've been waiting for him, I can't be at ease knowing that I haven't thanked him. I always look for customers who ordered wishing that it was him.

One day, while I was washing my hands to start my job, one of my staff told me that the person who helped me is outside again with his laptop. 

Shocked, I immediately turn off the faucet. I'm having mixed emotions and it showing it to my face! I took a break and checked him at the kitchen door.

Now, he wears a black oversize half sleeve t-shirt, white running shorts, and plain black sandals and I can see that he has a piercing in his left ear.

I am gathering my thoughts on how I should start but anyway, I'll say thank you and have him order whatever  he likes. That's what I have in mind.

I will talk to him outside.

slowly opening the door...
