A Little Cup Of Chaos~Complete~

Chapter 11

I wake up feeling light, surreal.

The image of my mother so deeply engraved in my mind, that dream made it seem like she was back to life.

I felt her heart pound when I was hugging her, I felt her breath on my neck. Well, I thought I did.

Sadness overcame me, though a part of me felt complete after that. My mother might be gone but I know she is still here. Ask me how? No clue, but I know.

I let my eyes adjust to the light streaming through my window, I get up and push it open , it was such a nice day. A warm breeze entered my room bringing the smell of cinnamon buns, my stomach was pleading me to go and get one.

I throw on a pair of comfy pants and a white t-shirt. I run a brush through my hair to make me look the least presentable, I grab my phone from my bed with some money before leaving, or trying to leave anyway.
--------
"I'm standing in front of this door until you tell me where and why you're going."

I sigh, really?

" James, just let me go I want a cinnamon role."

He scoffs, " I'm perfectly capable to make cinnamon roles."

I throw my hands up in the air, " could I just go get one? Yours would be horrible-" I stop talking realizing he wasn't even listening but tapping away at his phone his brows knitted together.

Jeez, his brows are nicer then mine! Where does he get them done?!

I clear my throat to get his attention, with no luck.

"So bakery boy what is you're decision?" I say my voice dripping with sarcasm.

He looks up from his phone grinning, "we're going to make cinnamon roles!" He says too excitedly. I sit on the couch defeated, he leaves the kitchen goes to his room and shows up two minutes later with a water gun.

You heard me, a freacking water gun.

"Why in gods name do you have a water gun?"

He only smirks, "you'll see."

"You know I hate surprises!" I wine, completely aware of how annoying my voice is. He was engrossed in his phone probably reading the recipe. I decide to make a run for it, I get up and sprint for the door, but before I got close enough he was spraying me with the water gun!

" Bastard! "

He smirks again, " well if you're going to be rude I guess il have to spray you again."

Rachel walks into the kitchen at that very moment, she's been gone for the past two weeks at some conference or whatever.

She stops in her step, " you are both insane. Just um pick up the mess once you're done. And for heavens sake please don't break another lamp!" James smile sheepishly, apparently I missed something.

" Will do Rachel, have fun at work." I give her a hug, " I'l try." She opens and closes the door behind her, leaving me and James who has a water gun I might add, alone.

Fan-fucking-tastic

I turn to James mortified, he lifts his eyebrows in response.

" Now you know what happens when you try to escape, now come and help me make cinnamon roles."

Defeated, I walk towards the kitchen kinda out of it. I was then met with a splash of cold cold water, I hear James, " just for good measures."

I try to hide my smile while I flip him off, " good to know you love me too." He laughs lightheartedly, the word love coming out of his mouth made all my muscles contract, love.

No no no no Finley you're just being stupid.

And just like that I push the feeling aside and help with what's going to be a disaster.
--------
"It did say 2 eggs, right?" He asks worriedly, "yep." I answer unfazed.

"Ok, I put enough eggs, why aren't they rising!" He turns to me his eyes pleading for an answer, I just shrug.

He runs his flour filled hands through his dark hair, " aren't girls supposed to be good at this?"

I roll my eyes and continue scrolling through my Instagram feed, " that's a stereotype."

"Argh!"

This guy was done for.

I shoot belle a text,

Finley: James attempted to make cinnamon buns and they aren't rising, I think he's going to start crying, come quick.

Belle: oh shit that's serious, coming now with fresh cinnamon buns, I have a plan.

I laugh internally, do I really want to know what that girl has up her sleeve?

James was passing the floor checking every time he passed the oven, apparently he was taking this too seriously.

"Dude, it's fine I can now go to bed knowing you're bad at something." I joke trying to lighten the mood, he answers immediately me not expecting it the least bit.

"Oh so you mean I'm good at everything else?" He raises his eyebrows, wait is he referring to, oh wait I think he is.

My face crinkles in disgust, 'you're gross!"

He raises his hands and shrugs, " you're the one who implied so-"

I throw an egg from one of the cartons, (he bought way to much stuff) and it hits him right on the head, messing up his hair.

You don't mess with this guys hair.

Steam was practically coming out of his ears and nose. He grabs a glass and fills it with water and apparently my ninja senses weren't on my side because I didn't expect a retaliation on his part.

He turns around and drenches me with the water, I stand there shocked. And unfortunately for me he was fast, throwing the contents of the bag of flour all over me.

"You little-aaaaaah!"

I let out a battle cry before diving for the egg carton.

I successfully grab it and start chucking them at him not caring if it hurt.

He tries to duck but one of the eggs just end up hitting him in the eye.

"Aaaaaah! An eggshell got in my eye!"

My stomach drops, I run to him trying to see damage I did.

I notice his other arm was behind his back, before I could ask he dumps the milk down my shirt.

"You, you, I hate you!!!"

I push him on the chest, not being able to move from the shock I got of the cold milk.

He smiles flashing his white teeth, "don't lie to yourself darling." My stomach flips at the nickname, before I could say anything his hands were around my waist and his face was hovering only inches away from mine.

"Tell me to stop." He whispers huskily, sending shivers down my spine.

In all honesty I didn't want him to, his hands start roaming, finding their way under my shirt, he leans in and I did nothing to stop him.

He leans in, my brain yelling at me to leave but I didn't, and then.....
