There was a small confectionery two blocks away of Simon's place. He used to go their with his friends, somethimes with his girlfriend if he had one. He really liked that place, but It was clear to see it wouldn't last long. However the products were incredibly delicious, the number of the customers was surprisingly low.
One day when he went ,there were only three types of cake in the store nothing more . He decided to ask the guy behind the counter, who he assumed was the manager , what was wrong." Excuse me, Sir. How come is there only 3 types of cake today? Is everything okay?" The boy in his late twenties with dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes looked at him.
" You see, there is no point in making more if noone turns up. The shop will be closed in 2 days." He gave him a week smile and went back to clean the tables.
" Jonathan, right?" He stopped his movements and looked up curiosity written on his face.
" Yeah, why?"
" You are the manager right?"
" I own this place, actually."
" Is it really that necessary to close it?" He hummed and said:
" You are like our only customer who visits regularly. I only have to employees to work here with, and our income is nowhere near good."
" But your products are incredible." The blonde was very sad to hear all these things.
" Thank you . I appreciate it I really do, but I can't do anything. Baking is more of like a hobby for me."
" I hope, you won't give it up."

As the days went by Simon was bored everyday around those hours when he used to go to the confectionary. Two weeks after it closed he was going for . The same route that he took almost everyday before. When he passed the confectionary he saw something unexpected.
It was beeing renovated. The sign still said " Blueberry and Cherry cupcakes" with a litlle teddybear and an owl on top of a cupcake next to it , but the name in bigger letters with brighter colours.
Simon didn't see Jonathan nor a sign who/ which could tell him what hapened or when will it be open again.
The following days he saw posters all around town and even on the internet advertising his beloved confectionery. They said it will be open again in 3 weeks.

Simon was the first one in front of the shop when it re-opened. He walked in happily seeing more employees , cakes, cookies , all kinds of pastries and icecream. There was a new cashier who caught his eye.
" Good morning Sir. What can I get you?" The boy had hazel eyes with a hint of green in them, he was around Simons age, but he had a dark brown almost black beard matching his haircolour.
" Hi. Lets see... What do you recommend?"
Jonathan came out of the kitchen with a tray of apple pie.
" Hi. Long time no see. " He turned towards the brunette. "Did you take his order, Josh?"
" He is still thinking." Jonathan nodded and went back to the kitchen. " I really like the Oreo cupcakes . You can try them if you want."
" Sure. One Oreo cupcake and a Dr. Pepper please."
" Here you go. That will be 3 £." The lanky boy gave him 5 and said:
" Take the change."
" Thank you."

Simon visited everyday from that day. Just to see the other boy. They always had a little chit-chat about small things such as the weather or how they are feeling.
