Guns and Cakes

Chapter Six - Oxygen Plz

Violet

It's closing time and it's raining hard outside. I'm worried about Sonia because she went out to buy something and she didn't bring her umbrella with her.

So basically it was just me and Cookie in the shop and I'm still burning with anger.

I continued to count the money in the cash register. After this, I'll make sure to finish our new recipe for Valentine's Day.

Whenever there's an occasion, Sonia and I make sure to make something special like a Christmas tree cake during Christmas and then a bikini cake during summer and you know, those kind of gimmicks.

And now with Valentine's Day nearing, we decided to make a cake flavored with a mixture of red velvet and smores in a shape of a couple kissing... Joke!

We're deciding on a rainbow colored heart because #LoveWins (yasss)!

After finishing the recipe, I felt my throat run dry so I got up from the counter and went to the refrigerator to get myself an orange juice.

I went back to my usual spot and damn, I'm struggling opening the bottle. Where did all my Taekwondo skills go when I'm so thirsty and desperate to open this bottle???

I continued trying to open it with all my strength, but it still won't open. I was about to give up until someone grabbed it from me.

"Hey!" It was Cookie who stole the juice bottle from me.

Before I could get it back, I was astounded when he opened it in just one go and returned it to me.

I aggressively took it from him and drank, not minding to thank him for what he just did. It's his fault after all why I can't open this bottle because my right arm hit the ground when he freaking pushed me.

"How's your arm?" He questioned with a blank expression as he leans on the counter.

Ha! Now he cares for my arm after pushing me just like that??? I swear to god, if he only knows that I'm a black belter in taekwondo, I'm sure he'll pee in his pants.

"Wow, I never thought you were a caring person." I replied, sarcastically which made him purse his mouth in a smug smile.

"I'm serious, how's your arm?" He asked again, this time looking really solemn and profound.

Ooooh, what a cheesy guy... not!

"Thank you for "caring", but..." I said, exaggerating the word "caring". "my arm is fi-"

Before I could say the "-ne" in fine, with just a blink of an eye, he lifted his whole body with just one hand on the counter table and now he's with me on the other side of the counter when he was just "there" a while ago.

It happened all too sudden that I would think he was a supernatural thing which left me awestruck. He slowly pulled my right arm close to him and got something from his pocket.

An ointment.

I was about to remove my arm from his hold, but he started putting ointment on my right arm. He massaged it gently and softly which made it tickle a little and all of a sudden, everything went quiet and awkward. A guy has never touched me and I have no idea why I wasn't refusing and breathing!

"I-I can do it by m-myself." I stuttered as I try to stop him. What the freak Violet? Why are you all of a sudden like a shy girl???

Oh my god, I'm running out of breath! Why am I even controlling my breathing in the first place? What is this, idiot?! Why can't I breath all of a sudden.

I. need. oxygen.

plz

"How old are you?" He asked, not minding what I just said to him and continued applying the ointment.

Okay, that was out of the blue???

"Now you want to know my age?" This time he let go of my arm and finally, as in FINALLY!!!!!!!!, my confidence and normal breathing regained. "For your information, I am not a kid, I am 23 years old!"

"Then keep this," He said, handing me the ointment he used for my arm a while ago. "...noona (older sister in Korean)."

Oh my god, he's younger than me??? By how many years???

To be honest, I've always wanted to be called "noona" because every person thinks I'm younger than them with this baby face of mine, but why do I suddenly hate it with so much passion?

"Aww, look at these two love birds!" It was Sonia which surprised Cookie and me.

How long has she been here?
