Sweet Tooth

just a piece of cake

I worked at a local bakery for the past 5 years. I had started when I was sixteen and I've seen every one in this damn hell hole of a town so when he walked in I was.... confused persay it was odd I've never seen this man in my life he was much older than me he was most likely in his late 40s-50s,he had pretty silver-grey hair, a nicely cut beard ,blueish green eyes,nice tan skin and seemed well built in his nice crisp navy suit. He was tall and he brought the smell of vanilla and roses into the store yet you can still smell slight undertones of a strong musk. Over all he was quite attractive by my standards.

"Good evening sir, how may i-"
"I'd like one double chocolate vanilla swirl frappe, a caramel vanilla swirl frappe, a black coffee with vanilla cream and caramel drizzle,one red velvet cupcake, five chocolate chocolate chip cookies,an apple turnover, and a cream cheese frosted vanilla cupcake"

My eyes widened in horror at the large order mostly people order twenty minutes before hand but this was just thruster upon me some of the workers froze or snickered at me as the man took out his phone and a slip of paper,handing it to me,looking st his hand I noticed old worn tattoos that covered his knuckles and hand, I sighed in relief as I took the paper our fingers lightly touching. It was the large order crudely scrawled on the paper. Nodding I typed it into the screen of the order machine and handed the slip back to the man

"Will that be all sir?" I asked politely
"Hmm..two dozen donuts please thank you...I suspect that will be around $50?"
I smiled and read the price to him
"Close,its $53.47" the man noddedand handed me a hundred dollar bill slipping into the register I begin to take out his change when he stopped me and whispered
"Do me a favor and slip the change into your pocket kid...you look like you need it" he said smirking and he walked to a table to wait for his order.

15 minutes later I carried three bags and a coffee tray to him.
"Your order sir...may I ask do you live around here ?"
The man laughed as he took the bags from me
"Your not going to ask why I ordered so much? And to answer your question no I don't live here I'm here to visit my sister she has a hellva sweet tooth" he said walking away

Later on in the evening around nine I left work with a large cake in my hand I get into my car and drive off to a hose that resided at the edge of the woods a friend of mine was having a birthday party and I was to bring the cake. By the time I got there i was about 10 minutes late walking up the steps and kicking the door as my hands were full I heard footsteps over the laoud music. I grinned as I saw Ann swing open the door

"AHH CODY YOUR HERE YOU MADE IT!!" I have her an awkward one arm hug and walked into the house smiling for a 46 year old woman she was loud and very energetic, she knew how to brighten any bodies day and helpped me get this job when I was sixteen.

"Ann its so good to be here! I miss coming over, I've just been really busy lately taking care of my little brother who moved in with me"
"Oh Cody its okay and I know you've been busy we all have lives outside of friemdaipa and sometimes that comes first! Oh!" She grinned and clapped her hands together and had a look on her face that screamed I just remembered something important
"I want you to meet my older brother. She pulled my arm and draged me around several well a large amount of people,to the backdoor and outside to her back yard where aan with a navy suit sat drinking at the mini bar that me and Ann built by hand as a repayment to helping me get my job.
"This is my brother Mike...short for Michael, mike meet my best friend Cody parker"
The man spun around in the chair to look at me
"Hey! Your the guy that made that huge order earlier today!" I yelled pointing at him in surprise
"And your the kid that took it" he said smirking
