"Its go time"
I'm running around when I hear a knock on the front door. Jogging over I see that it's Axel. He's got a wide grin on his face and he's waving his hands excitedly.
"Nova, good morning. I can't wait to see what you made for tonight. Will I be able to taste any of it?" I giggle and slap Axel on the back of the head.
"Is that all you want me around for is my baking. My feelings are so hurt." I place my hand over my heart and give him a puppy dog face. I love messing around with him. He's like a little puppy.
"Girl, you know you are more than baking. I see it. Even though whatever you make I'll eat." At that I shake my head and head into the kitchen. It's almost time for the fair.
I need to put my cake into a box and get it ready to go. It's cool enough where the cake won't melt in Madz truck. I'll have to make sure the AC is on just in case.
Axel comes walking behind me and grabs the loaf of bread I made yesterday. "Mind If I make some toast? I didn't get to eat this morning." I nod and with that he heads for the kitchen.
I'm glad he's so comfortable around me. I walk into the pantry and look for a cake carrier. I know I have a few around here. Madz unpacked them. I see them on the top shelf and grab the ladder.
Looking at all my options. I grab the coral colored one and step down. Walking back into the kitchen I see that Axel is just munching away on his toast and he must have gotten into the cookies as well. I see the container is open.
I place down the carrier and carefully I pick up my chocolate cake and put it inside. What I don't need is for me to drop it and just ruin the whole day. I'm already feeling so much better than I was last night.
I hear a ding and I pull out my phone and a message from Madz appears. "Hey sweetheart. I'll be heading over soon. I just need to shower. I'll see you soon." He inserted a kissing emoji at the end.
"Axel, Madz will be here soon. What are your plans for the day? Will you be at the fair?" Axel finishes the food he has in his mouth and wipes away the crumbs.
"Yup. I'll have Eleanor with me. She knows I'm a pro at the games and she wants me to win all the prizes for her. I'll be there a little after you. I know you need to set up and meet the other contestants." He is right. I do need to set up.
Should I grab a tablecloth as well or is that too extra? I think I'll just stick with what I have already. Time passes by as I clean up Axel's mess even though he told me he would do it.
I need to keep my hands busy. I'm a little nervous. I don't care if i win or not really. I just want it to be good enough for the judges to enjoy it. I wonder who they are anyways.
I haven't met many people in town yet. I haven't even met everyone in the club. This will be a good time to meet the community. After the contest I can walk around and introduce myself.
