As Lovely As You (George Shelley Fanfic)

Chapter 11 - The Gorgeous Baker

We arrived at the coffee shop. it was small place not too far from the hotel. As soon as I entered the smell of fresh coffee and cupcakes hit me.

“We aren’t open yet” a masculine voice said, “I know” Amelia replied.

“Oh, hi boss!” a handsome blonde boy appeared from the counter, my aunt smiled “Alex this is my niece, Laura. She is staying in London for 3 months and will be working here too” “Hi” I greeted him. He was very very attractive, his green eyes met mine and I felt my face red “Hello!” the boy smiled.

“I need to get a few things done in the office, so stay here with Alex and he’ll tell you what to do” she told me, then turned to her employee “You know the  drill Alex, get her some breakfast too please. I’ll be back soon” “I’ll get some cupcakes right away” he answered heading to the back door “Isn’t he a cutie?” my aunt giggled putting on her coat “Amelia!” I replied blushing again, she looked at me, her eyes were clearly saying “Bitch please, seriously” “Ok, he is pretty cute” I whispered as I saw him coming back. “Bye children, take care of my business” Amelia laughed leaving us.

Alex was pretty cool. He was like this guy, who besides being awesome and cute like puppy was also damn hot. He kind of reminded me of George. Well they both had facial structures of greek gods, so yes, they kind of look alike in that sense.

I ate the breakfast Alex had prepared for me, some cupcakes and orange juice. He tried to serve me coffee but I politely declined and he laughed “If you don’t like coffee, why are you working on a coffee shop?” “I am here for the cupcakes ok?” I said getting one more from the tray.

He taught me how to make coffe in the machine and showed me how to decorate the cupcakes with the icing. “Ok, so I made all the cupcakes last night, I’ll put them in the trays while you make some coffee for the customers right?” “Right sir” I nodded turning the machine on. "Wow, he is not only gorgeous but bakes too!" I thought to myself "Oh my god what am I thinking?! Focus on the job Laura!"

The job was easy and actually fun. I served some tables and was proud of all the coffee I had made. Alex kept teasing me telling me how his coffee was a million times better than mine. “If it’s so good then why don’t you make some for me?” I challenged him “I’m working right now” he replied washing some plates “But sure, I could make you some later” he winked at me, I felt my face burning red and before I could say anything Amelia arrived.

“Hello, hello dear servants” she joked taking her coat off “Ha ha, I’m not a servant” I rolled my eyes, “I am” Alex replied “But I get paid” “Shut up!” I laughed “I like being a servant. I like my job” he smiled. “You’re welcome” Amelia said “But now it’s time to work!” she put on her apron “You two have been talking a lot huh?” she whispered to me “No, I mean, yes, I don’t know we just talked” I whispered back, she gave me another one of those looks were you could see what she was saying “you guys are getting on” “Oh stop it!” I said slapping her arm softly “Stop with what?” Alex asked behind the counter “Uh, I…Amelia offered me another cupcake, but I’m telling her to stop otherwise I’ll ruin her business” I lied quickly as I gave my aunt a threatening look, she just laughed and went to the back door.

“Ok then” Alex shrugged “I guess you eat a lot anyway” “What do you mean by that?” I asked him, he looked at me, smirking like a little child “Are you calling me fat?” I asked again, “Of course not” he defended himself, I could feel the laughter in his voice “I just say you eat a lot” “You idiot!” I giggled punching him lightly, “I’m kidding Laura, relax” he said holding my fist, his eyes met mine and I blushed (again), he kept staring at me, but I looked away “Let’s keep working, yeah?”

At 7pm we closed the shop. “Do you need a ride, Alex?” Amelia asked "No it's okay I can get the bus" he responded "Alright then" she said "But oh, I totally forgot, I need your number in case of emergencies and you need mine too, just let me get my phone" she searched for her iphone in her pockets "Dammit I must have forgotten on the hotel!" "Well, if you want I have my phone with me" I offered "Oh that's great, can you two exchange numbers so I can get Alex's contact later?" she asked "Sure" we both said. 

After a quick swaping of phones, everybody went their way. In the car I looked at my new contact "Alex Maynard", I think he liked me and I did liked him too, but just as friends of course, I couldn't get George out of my mind. Yet, he still hasn't answered my text. I don't know what to think about this but my mind keeps reminding me of it.

To top it off, my phone rang:

1 New message

"Finally!" I thought, but when I opened it, it wasn't from George:

From: Alex Maynard

Don't let me forget about that coffee I owe you ;)
