chapter 8

new chapter. thanks for reading;)

"Alright girls we have a lot to do. Lisa I want you to do the cakes, Shayla you do the cupcakes. After you each get that job done, we'll move on."

We nodded and went to our stations.

There are different kinds of cupcakes; icing and different toppings. I have no idea what I'm doing, but how hard can it be? Grabbing a tray of chocolate ones, and grabbed a tube of icing.

I've seen cupcakes highly decorated like this before.

"Are you good to do this?" Quinn asked coming up next to me. "Yeah. Just trying to decide what to do with these ones." "Well here are some photos that might be able to help you with that." He said as he set some photos on the counter for me. "Thanks. I think I'll get the hang of it." He nodded, giving me a smile. "I know you can. Get going." He walked away, I looked at the photos he gave me.

Grabbing a bag of icing, I dumped some cookie pieces into the bag mixed and started covering the cupcakes in thick swirls on the tops. Some I topped with cherries and some without.

Taking a look at Lisa she's decorating cakes; she looks like an expert, and Quinn is cutting a pan of brownies, so I went back to my job.

Picking a shade of dark purple icing, for vanilla cupcakes; finishing them off with some sprinkles.

Within half an hour; I had all my cupcakes decorated and set out in the display cases out front. "You are quite talented." Lisa's voice said coming from the door to the back. "Thank you. Would you believe it's my first time doing this?" "No, you look like you've done this for years." She carried out a few cakes and set them in a different case. "You are very talented as well. They are quite beautiful." "Thank you. I've been doing this since I was a little girl. Quinn and I have known each other since we were kids, his uncle brought me in, and set me up here; now that Quinn's here it will make things a whole lot easier for me."

Lisa looked at me, with utter disgust in her eyes, like I'm not good enough to be around her or Quinn.

"Alright ladies we are almost ready to open, Shayla those look great. There are a two more trays that have to come out here, Lisa can you grab them for me please?" She nodded and gave me the death stare as she walked past me. Once she's gone, he came up next to me. "Don't worry about her, she can be over protective at times." "Yeah I never noticed that before." I said, sarcastically. "You'll be fine, just don't let her get to you. It's show time." He put the open sign on the door, and rejoined me behind the counter.

People started coming in, one after the other, and the first one to come in is Tina. She came right up to me. "Are you alright?" "I'm good. Quinn took good care of me." She gave me a look. "Why did he need to take care of you?" Clearing my throat, I said. "I kind of past out, after what happened at the diner; and he got worried about me, got a key from Mia and came up to check on me." "So in other words, your knight in shining armour appeared."

I nodded, looking at Quinn who's helping his Uncle. "So what can I get for you this morning?"

She took a look at everything we have to offer; picking out what she wants, boxing it all up for her. "Is there anything else I can do for you today?" "Yes there is. Tonight after you're done work, you're coming over to my place for a girl's night."

She gave me a smile as she said it. "And I am not taking no for an answer." I nodded, giving her a smile.

"You will not get no for an answer. I would love that, it sounds like fun." "Great." She said handing me the money.
