Best Ingredient? Love ❤️

I breathed in the different smells there was in my sanctuary, my kitchen. The ovens were filled with baking cakes and the counters were overflowing with either ingredients for another batch of cakes or dirt dishes that just needed to be done, but just didn't have any time for it at the moment.
I rubbed my hands once more, flour wafting from them like chalk smoke. I went back to mixing the ingredients in the large turquoise bowl in front of me. The bell, at the front, rung right then, "Hello? Is anyone here?" A deep voice shouted, damn this person sounds sexy.
        "Sorry! I'll be out in a minute!" I yelled back at them. I soon managed to get my hands out of the bowl and wiped them onto the pink apron I had on. I walked to the front of the Bakery and saw the most gorgeous guy ever! He had short yet semi-curly pure black hair that seemed to have a shine to it. His eyes were a golden hazel colour, kind of like dark honey. And his body, oh my god. He was lean, but the muscles he did have could be seen through his black leather jacket. He also wore some washed  out jeans, a light blue top and light brown hunter's boots. All in all, he had the looks and a  sense of style too!
"Hi, I'm Clarissa and can bake and cake you may want to take." I smiled at my rhyming introduction. It seemed as though he liked it too with the corners of his lips quirk upwards into a small smile.
"Hi Clarissa, I'm Henry and I've come here for my little sister, Jenny? She told me that you know her?" He tilted his head to the side in the most adorable way.
"Jenny? Oh yeah! She's one of my best customers! Let me guess, a cheesecake with a mirror glaze icing?" I smiled even more at him, I couldn't help but keep staring into his golden eyes. It was like I was trapped in them.
"That's exactly what she ordered for me to get her." He gave a smirk of his own, filled with mischief and amusement.
"It'll be done within an hour. You can either go out and enjoy one of our rare sunny days or wait in the famous 'Sunshine Lemon Bakery' Library over there." I say, as I point towards the corner of the shop. It had books everywhere, from the shelves to the white wooden chairs and table.
"I think I'll check out the Library if you don't mind." He said as he began to walk over there. I simply smiled at him before making my way back to the kitchen and finishing off the batter for the cookies and putting it onto a baking tray. I then went on to start Jenny's cake, as I made my way through the recipe I had to stop a few times to take out other cakes from the ovens and to give them to the customers. All of that time I saw Henry sitting in the corner and reading one of the many books from the Library. 
An hour had gone past and Jenny's cake was finished, I was putting on the finishing touches of the strawberries and grapes when I suddenly heard shouting at the front. I looked around the kitchen to make sure no ovens were on, they weren't thank god. Though it did seem that the shouting had increased with volume. I ran up to the front and saw Henry and another guy screaming at each other, it looked as though they were going to start throwing punches soon. "Hey! Hey!" When there was no answer from either of them, for some reason it made me angry. "WOULD THE PAIR OF YOU SHUT UP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs at them.
Two heads snapped towards me. "Now that I've got your attention, can you please tell me what is going on here as I don't allow any fighting in here. Verbal or physical got it?" Only Henry nodded at me, before letting his head fall down with what seemed to be in shame. The other guy, however, wasn't anything like that.
     "I'm sorry you want me to stop? What you gonna do about it sweetie? Butter me up with one of your icings?" He laughed cruelly at his pathetic joke, I could see Henry tighten his fists a bit in anger.
"Yes I do want you to stop and if you don't I'll be pressing charges against you for disruption whilst I'm serving my customers. So if you don't mind to get out of my bakery then I shall be calling the police. Got it? Good." I say, not allowing him the chance to let another word in. He looked as though he was going to say something, but Henry manage to butt in first, "You heard the Lady, boy. Get out now." The guy then started to move towards the door and as he opened it and was about to step out of the shop I spoke up once more, "And FYI don't call me sweetie again either." He simply nodded his head at me, before stepping back out onto the street outside. I turned back into the kitchen, grabbed Jenny's cake and returned back to the front counter.
"Now I believe you ordered a strawberry cheesecake with a mirror glazed icing." I say in a stoic voice.
"I'm sorry." He mumbled, "I shouldn't have started a fight like that, you could have lost more customers because of my actions."
     "It's alright. Anyway it's near to the end of my shift so not many customers come at this point." I smiled slightly at him, as I wrapped the cake up.
"Still I feel guilty that I've done such things. How about I take you out on a date? You know, to make it up to you." He tilted his head once more, with puppy eyes and everything.
     "Fine, I'll go out with you. Just to make you stop giving me those puppy eyes of yours." I smirked at him as he looked at me with complete shock.
"I wasn't giving you puppy eyes at all."
"Yes you were."
"Wasn't."
"Were."
"Wasn't."
"Were."
"Wasn't."
"Were."
"Pick you up at 7 tomorrow, here?"
"See you then." I say as he strolled out and went to give Jenny her precious cake. I smiled once again. I'm going to be going on a date with a cute guy! This never happens to me! But crap! What was I going to wear?
