Angel's bakery - very slow updates

The one with the two parts: part 2

A few hours after I returned to mine last light I got a knock on the door from Mon saying she was going to take Rach to the doctors since she had been complaining about the pain getting worse. I had offered to go too, but they had both refused. 

After showering and doing my skin care I got dressed in a pair of fit and flare blue denim jeans with a slightly oversize white button up. I tucked it in and added a dark brown belt before lacing up a pair of white trainers on my socked feet. I pulled my hair up with a red bandana and grabbed the fruit salad I had made yesterday out of the fridge for breakfast. 

I snack on the fruit as I walk around my apartment and place things back into the correct places. I had woken up early but didn't have work today so I wasn't sure what to do with myself.

It wasn't much longer that Joey barges into my apartment "Food. I need food!" He announces and I shake my head and point the the cupboard above the sink "sugar waffles, Poptarts, croissants, or there is bacon in the fridge from yesterday."

"Thanks Angel." Was the only response I got before a strawberry Pop tart was shoved in his mouth as he started going through the fridge. I leave him there as I head to work. 

Once I arrive I finish opening and setting out the desserts and pastries before putting new batches into the ovens. I bring the timers with me as I serves customers to make sure noting burns while I wait for Alex to start.

"That is be $17.25." I hand the woman her boxes and she passes me a $20 bill. "Keep the change."

"Thanks Doll. Have a great day." I return her smile and she walks out with her two boys following after her trying to reach the boxes. I chuckle and take the change from her total and add it to the tip jar. One of the timers goes of so I stop it before letting the next customer know I would be back in a moment. I run to the kitchen and take the trays of brownies out and leave them on the bench to cool before putting the next tray in. Glad I had come in early to make so much.

"Sorry about that. What can I get you?" I ask as I reset the timer. 

"Not a problem sweetheart. Can I order a vanilla sheet cake with cream and strawberry jam as the filling and for decorations can you do a strawberry theme?" 

"Of course. Would you like out new strawberry shortcake flavor instead? I haven't had a chance to add it to the menu yet" I ask.

"Could I do a taste test first?" I smile and nod before telling him I would be back in a moment before grabbing one of the cake taster slabs we have along with the strawberry jam and whipped cream. I quickly cut two matching slices of the strawberry shortcake flavored sponge and assemble the mini cake. 

"Here you go. We have switched to a homemade jam from a nearby farm so I hope you like it." I pass him the plate along with a fork. He thanks me and while he tries it a take another persons order. Once their gone the gentleman comes back. "That was amazing. could I do that flavor then, and you have free reign on the design."

"I'm glad you liked it. What size sheet cake are you looking for and when do you need it ready by?" I ask as I type in the order. "12inch and I need it by next Friday."

"Okay. that will be $15. $20 if you need me to add on a message."

"Oh, yeas. thank you for reminding me. Can you write "Happy 9th birthday my flower" in red?" 

"Not a problem." I finish inputting his order and he pays before leaving and checking that the order was correct. By now Alex has arrived and was getting on the the customers so I took the time to add the new flavor to the board and make a batch of free samples bites for customers to try. 

By the end of my shift I pack up any left over treats and take a majority of them to the nearby fire station. Before returning home. When I arrive inside my apartment in kick the door shut behind me. Set the extra box on the side table before belly flopping onto the sofa with a groan. Today wore me out and I wasn't really in the mood the socialize with the others.

A/N 

This chapter is so boring. I apologize  I have tried for so long to make it more interesting, but Angel just doesn't fit into this episode. Instead of beating myself up over it I am just going to leave it how it is and move on, so now it is just a filler piece. I have already starting the next chapter.
