Sugar n' Spice

"Two eggs."

Aria and Eren have been making cupcakes for an hour. "Ok, little Miss bossy pants," said Eren. "And by the way, it's 2 cups of flour next." I glared at him, the cue for Eren to give me the next ingredient.

Ahh, Eren. The hottest guy I've ever met. He's been there for me since we met in 3rd grade. Eren is the only one I've told about my secret, since he's like my only friend. If only we were more than just- "Aria! Are you even listening?" I finally look up to an overly powdered bowl of batter and a slightly powdered Eren.

"Ops!" I say, giving an apologetic smile. He grins at me, "You'll pay for that." I just continue mixing the bowl and add sugar. "I think it needs more water." I was humming " love me like you do" when I noticed that Eren hadn't given me the cup of water.

As soon as I turn around, I am soaked in water all over. Thank goodness it was just me and Eren in the house because I screamed when the water hit me. And also the fact that I become a mermaid in 10 seconds. Other than the fact that I screamed, transformed, and got covered in raw batter, Eren is laughing in the background.

"You didn't see that one coming did you?" Asked the overly joyed boy. He giggled when I tried to get up."Ugh, just pass me a towel. Plus, I kinda did see that coming since it was taking you forever to pass me the water cup." He looks through the cabinets to find a kitchen towel, while I just sit there in my lovely fins.

He walks over to where I'm at and says, "I don't see any of your kitchen towls around. Did you take them out of the dryer?" Shoot! I always forget about laundry. "You might wanna check there. I mean you could just get me a blanket or something to dry off."

Eren gives me his might-as-well-do-it-now-than-never face. I shoo him off to go get the towels upstairs. After he's gone, I finally realize the huge mess we've made. We'll have to clean up some decently good mix. I might as well cancel the rest of today's plans, but I don't mind if I'm with Eren
