i stand on my tiptoes as i try to reach for the chocolate box at the top of the fridge. it's moments like these that make me mad that i'm so short.

"ah!" someone yells behind me, causing me to shriek. i turn around and find hayes snickering.

"don't care me like that!" i tell him, punching his shoulder. he smirks, not even a little bit bothered by my punch.

"so, what's up short stuff?" he says, looking at me.

"well, i'm currently trying to reach the box of chocolates on top of the fridge." i answer, trying once again to reach. hayes then grabs my waist and lifts me up. i grab the box of chocolates as he sets me down. "thanks."

once i open the box, i am filled with disappointment. "aw man, it's all empty." i groan, shaking the box upside down. hayes chuckles, while i frown. "that sucks, i really wanted something sweet."

"calm down, it's not the end of the world. if we don't have sweets, then we should make them." he suggests. and being honest, it's not a bad idea. i love baking, and i haven't done it in a while.

"oo, you're right. let's make cookies!" i exclaim excitedly.

"you know what would be super cool? if we made a youtube video while baking! i haven't uploaded in weeks." hayes says. "plus, i would love having you in one of my videos." he adds.

"i'd love that too." i tell him, and he smiles.

"okay, i'm gonna get changed into something more baking appropriate, and grab my camera." he says.

"yea me too, i don't wanna stain my favorite blouse." i tell him, then we both head up to our room. i change into a simple pair of jeans and my volleyball team sweatshirt. i then head back downstairs, and see everything all set up in the kitchen.

"ready?" hayes asks. i nod, then he turns the camera on. "what's up guys, hayes here. and i actually have a very special guest with me. welcome, emma mendes!" hayes exclaims, giving me a hug.

"hi guys! happy to be here." i say into the camera, waving.

"we have a very special video planned for you guys. so, chef emma, what are we gonna do today?"

"well, chef hayes, today we're going to be making some delicious chocolate chip cookies!" i announce, and we both start clapping like ninnies. "oh, i almost forgot!" i say, taking out the aprons and chef hats. "we can't be chefs without these." i add, setting the hats on both of our heads. then after tying my apron, i put it on hayes.

"chef emma, what do we need to make these delicious cookies?" hayes asks.

"we need, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, flour, baking soda, salt, milk, and chocolate chips." i say, taking all of the ingredients out one at a time.

"time to bake!" hayes exclaims, raising his hands in the air. he mixes the butter and sugar while i beat the eggs then slowly mix them in. we then add milk and vanilla to the mix, sprinkling salt. narrating everything we do step-by-step.

"now lets add the flour!" i say, opening the package. i add the flour in, and without warning a handful of flour gets smacked on my face. "hayes!" i yell.

"oops." he says all innocently. i gasp before grabbing an even bigger handful of flour and throwing it right at his face. "emma!"

"oops." i mock hayes, doing an innocent face like him. hayes decides to get me back, and throws flour at me once again. so for a solid three minutes, we have a flour-war and completely drench ourselves in that.

hayes then splashes a cup of milk on me, making the flour sticky. "you're gonna pay." i say, eyeing him evilly. i then secretly grab two eggs behind my back, and crack them on his head.

"emma!" he yells again. i quickly run away. but before i got far enough, hayes catches me, causing both of us to laugh. he carries me and swings me over his shoulder, taking me back to the kitchen. "well that's enough of that, let's get back to the cookies." he says, and mixes in the chocolate chips.

after mixing it all, we then scoop some spoonfuls into the pan. making a totally of thirty cookies. we stick them in the oven, then set the timer.

"now the boring part, waiting." hayes says, groaning. i lift myself up and take a seat on the counter. i grab the bowl of leftover cookie dough, and grab a spoon. i plop the spoon into the dough, then eat it.

"hey, share!" he exclaims, walking over to me and standing in between my legs. i wrap them around him, so he can't escape, and smear some cookie dough on his nose. "not there." he groans, while i giggle.

he then sticks his finger into the mix and smears some on my nose too. "clean that up hayes!" i say, looking like an even weirder mess. unexpectedly, he smirks and licks off the cookie dough. "ah, gross hayes." i exclaim, wiping my nose. he chuckles, causing me to laugh, which causes him to laugh even harder. and in seconds we both broke out into a fit of laughter.

we look into each other's eyes, our laughs slowly dying down. his eyes flicker from my eyes to my lips, making my stomach nervous. hayes then starts leaning in slowly, his eyes closed. surprisingly, i started leaning in to.

our lips were just about to touch until-

"guys?" matt's voice rings throughout the kitchen. i quickly pull away from hayes and push him off me. matt then enters the kitchen, eyeing the mess we made. "what did you guys do?" he asks.

"hayes and i were just making some cookies." i answer nervously. i then look over at hayes, a mad expression taking over his face.

"okay? well emma, i need to talk to you. so once you're done with all this, meet me in my room." matt says, then walks off.

i awkwardly turn back to hayes, not knowing what to say. the timer then goes off, indicating our cookies are ready. i take them out of the oven and say, "and this is our finished product!" trying to get back into the video.

"mmm, delicious cookies." hayes says, taking a bite of his cookie, but getting burned automatically. i laugh, taking a cookie myself. i wait for it to cool before taking a bite out of it.

"they're actually really good! we did great hayes." i say, high-fiving him.

"well that's all the time we have for today, thank you guys for watching. and thank you emma for helping me! i'll see you all later, bye!" he exclaims, then shuts the camera down.

it's silent for a while, so i decide to speak up. "you should get to editing. ya don't want anybody seeing..well ya know." i tell him nervously.

"about that..what was that?" he asks. and since i don't have an answer, i decided to just leave.

"uh, i needa go. matt needs to talk to me right now, so bye." i say, quickly leaving the awkward scene. let's just hope it isn't as awkward with matt.
