Chapter 1 [Edited]

Lillys POV :

*bzzz bzzz*

I turn to my side and switch my alarm off. I groan softly as I wake up from my thin mattress. I check the alarm clock and see it is 5:32am. I walk to the bathroom to have a quick bath.

I have a quick cold bath with a limited amount of water and get dressed in a cute yet slightly worn out pastel blue skirt which I bought at a local thrift store at a very cheap price along with a tight fitted old white tee. I tuck the white T-shirt into my skirt.

I grab my shoes and take an apple out off the fruit basket whilst running out the house. I lock my broken apartment door which doesn't really do much if someone decides to break in.

'It's not like they'd find much' I think to myself.

I quickly walk to the bus stop and take the bus to get to work. Walking into 'Sweet Oblivion' I get the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I quickly put my apron on and walk to the back.

I see a petite lady standing near the oven, taking out a batch of what smells like chocolate chip cookies from the oven.

"Morning Miss Mary" I say to the older lady as I walk in. "I'm sorry I'm l-late" I say nervously and she turns around and gives me a very sweet and polite smile.

"Oh it's okay dear. I was just getting started on the cookies" She replies back while holding the tray of cookies with her oven muffs covering her hands from the heat of the tray, she places it on the granite counter.

"Should I get started on the cupcakes Miss Mary?" I ask her.

"Yes please dear. Make 4 dozens of chocolate cupcakes. Today we have a big order. It's for a young child's birthday party" She says. Mumbling something about a girl named 'Elena'.

'That's a lot of cupcakes' I think to myself as I walk towards the small pantry to get the ingredients for the cupcakes.

I start getting the ingredients ready for the cupcakes. I mix up the batter for the cupcakes and place it into the moulds. I put on a pair of oven muffs and place the tray of cupcakes into the oven.

I decide to clean up the counter while I wait for the cupcakes to cook. As I finish up cleaning all the mess I made, the oven goes off. I take out the cupcakes and inhale deeply.

'Yummmmy' I say to myself as the chocolate cupcakes come out.

I whip up a quick chocolate frosting for the cupcakes. I pipe the smooth, chocolate,  pudding like frosting onto the cupcakes. I wait for the frosting to slightly harden, I then quickly pack them up so it's ready for pick up.

"I'm done Miss Mary. Would you like me to do anything else" I politely ask the older lady.

"It's okay dear. There's nothing else to do. We just have to wait for the customer to pick up these cookies and cupcakes then we'll be done for today" She says to me.

I look around and see some leftover, extra cupcakes along with some cookies. I don't wish to overstep so I only ask Miss Mary if I can take some cupcakes home which I could possibly have for supper if she says yes.

"Miss Mary" I say to her. "Can I take the leftover cupcakes home? " I ask her. She knows how tough things are at home. The wage I get from the bakery barely even covers my rent let alone groceries, electricity and water. Even though I get such less wage I am extremely grateful for it. Miss Mary tries to help me out as much as she can.

If I didn't get the job at her bakery, I would probably be on the streets digging bins and eating stale food.

She didn't really need staff. She ran the bakery all by herself, and she did a fine job at that might I add.

She took me in when I walked into her bakery asking if she needed any help. Without her support I wouldn't have had a shelter over my head nor any food to eat.

"Yes darling. You can take it home. I think we also have some leftover cookies, you can take that as well" She says to me with a kind smile on her face.

"Thank you Miss Mary" I say to her being very grateful for her help.

*dong*

We hear the doorbell ring.

"I think it's the customer who ordered all those cupcakes and cookies. Open the door please darling" She says to me while walking into the kitchen to get the cupcakes and cookies.

I rush towards the door not wanting the customer to wait. I swing the door open and look at the man standing there.

"G-Good day sir. Please c-come in" I stutter nervously infront of this fully tattooed unknown man looking down at me.

He looks at me with his pitch black eyes and then looks down at my outfit.

"Good day Miss-?" He says unsure about my name.

"Oh sorry sir. My name is Lilly Hutt" I say to him without stuttering.

"Nice to meet you Miss Hutt. I am Hunter. Hunter Rossi." He says with a smirk as I shiver when I hear his name.

'Rossi! The biggest mafia family in America!' I think to myself

"I-Uh... M-Miss Mary will be here soon. Y-You're here to fetch the cupcakes a-and cookies?" I ask him in a soft, fearful tone while stuttering.

"Good day Mr Rossi. Here are your cupcakes and cookies. Hope little miss Elena likes it. The cupcakes are Lillys speciality." Miss Mary says holding a box of cupcakes and cookies whilst walking towards Mr Rossi and I.

I thank my lucky stars, grateful for Miss Mary interrupting our conversation. I feel as if if he had looked at me one more time, I probably would've have cried.

'His pitch black eyes, alluring as ever. It reminds me of a dark sky at night.' I think to myself.
