"Bye Tara"
Clem waved as we started closing up for the night "mmhm" I said hopping on my bike and placing a paper bag in the front basket
since we made to many today I decided to take a few cupcakes as well did Clem
I pedaled slower this time till I reached a house across from mine
I ditched the bike leaning on a tree and walked up to the door knocking gently
"oh what a pleasent surprise" a old woman said opening the door
"good to see you Mary" I replied "I brought you some blueberry scones and lemon cupcakes with strawberry frosting" I said
I know there her favorite
"ooh perfect timing child I just made tea come on" she said gesturing for me to come in I sat on the couch and poured us each a glass of tea and placed the cupcakes on a plate gently
"mmm mm m" Mary said taking a bite of a scone "delicious as always you do have a talent for cooking it would appear" Mary said and we chatted for a long while
I love talking to Mary I have known her for quite a while she is what you may consider the town nut
she says what she likes and doesn't back down even at her age how admirable
after we finished off the scones and cakes my phone buzzed I took it out and read the text I have a new job for you tell you tomorrow it said it was from Clem and I sighed before saying goodbye to Mary
"you get some sleep now sweet pea" she said before closing the door and I headed home taking a shower and then falling to sleep
THE NEXT DAY
I woke up to soot whimpering and I walked to the fridge fetching him some raw meat before heading to short and sweet (the bake shop)
"good morning Tara" Clem greeted
"great news this hotel is considering using our alcohol themed line of cupcakes for the bars they need one of us to come with a box of samples" Clem explained
"what hotel" I asked
"tres spades" Clem replied
"i'll take them" I replied
"oh okay here" she said handing me a box of cakes and I strolled off on my bike to the hotel
AT THE HOTEL
I placed my bike in the bike rack and headed inside walking to the bar first I sat down at a stool and a man in a hat and cherry red blazer sat next to me
"ooh aren't you a fine slice of heaven" he said winking
"I'm baba and what might your name be I'm sure it it's something lustful and rememberable"
I pretended not to notice him
"playing hard to get are we" he laughed and sneakily placed a arm around my waist
I pulled my arm back and was just about to give him a face full of fist when his arm was snatched away from around my waist by a man with a soft angelic face amber eyes and golden locks
"sorry miss is this guy causing you trouble you must forgive him he would flirt with a wall if he could" he joked pushing his bangs to the side
"ota" baba yelled "sorry am I cock blocking you" ota snickered
"my my my though I can't blame him for seeking you you are art with no canvas and those eyes" ota said pulling my face closer to his to look into my eyes
I angered by his actions grabbed the nearest thing which was the box of cup cakes and threw it in his face
he stood back shocked for a moment frosting covered his face and before he could say anything I got up and stormed off
"looks like I blew our shot sorry Clem" I sighed knowing I had just wasted our cupcakes samples and would now be un able to show the hotel meaning we couldn't stock the bars with them
(I am guessing Tara does not enjoy babas company very much)
