"Here's the plan," Ash stated as they currently were at work. She lifted an eyebrow interested on what he had to say. He followed behind her going into detail while Serena was serving the customers. "First, you'll text Miette to come here. Second, we get Calem to serve her. Third, we get them to fall inlove and there. Happy ending!" He said showing his toothy grin.

Serena shrugged but was still interested on how it will play out. "Here," she said giving Ash her cellular device. "Text her."

He took her phone and began to punch in letters, Serena went over to Calem, who currently was cutting slices of pastries. "Can you give me the special for table five." She said, he passed it to her and was interupted by Ash.

"She's on her way," He winked. She nodded as he followed her to the table.

"What you say to convince her?"

"Free cakes?" He chuckled nervously, as she rolled her eyes.

They both went in the storage room, well Serena had to go get more napkins while Ash was still following her. "Dork," she responded giving him a quick peck on his lips.

He stopped her, and began to kiss her back, Serena being lovestruck by this boy allowed him to deepen the kiss. She was getting tired of being on her tippy toes, Ash took noticed and carried her bridal style, without breaking them apart. He began to move his lips down her neck, she felt chills down her spine but enjoyed it. She accidentally let out a soaft moan. Ash heard it, and began to suck on her neck. She pulled away, she can't have a hickey at work, "Before you get mad, that was still one kiss because I turn that peck into a make-out session. " he winked causing her face to redden.

"You were ready to leave me a hickey," she narrowed her eyes at him. He gave a cheeky smile, causing her to roll her eyes. "Put me down," He shook his head knowing that he was enjoying himself.

After a couple minutes of begging he set the girl down. She went on fixing her hair and grabbed the napkins. They walked out, and saw Calem showing Miette a table but she asked if she can sit by the pastries counter. Calem allowed it as he went back to displaying goods.

"I swear," he began as he saw the two. "I'm only supposed to be working on desserts not serve people?" He crossed his arms and eyed them. "You two better stop making out in the break room" he retorted having his cousin blush while Ash rolled his eyes.

"Please, that would be unprofessional of us." Ash stated crossing his arms.

Calem cocked up an eeyebrow, "Then, next time, hide the hickey." He teased, pointing at Serena.

Her eyes widen, as she turned to Ash who was smiling innocently. "Ash!" She gathered her short hair and placed it to the front.

"Don't cover it, let people know that you are mine." He exclaimed moving her hair away as he gently touched her face.

"Would you like it if I left you a mark?" She questioned him crossing her arms.

Ash thought about it, "Sure, let's go do that." He concluded, grabbing her arm. Serena redden at how he had said yes, but she pulled back and eyed to the customers. "Awh man," he whined.

"They aren't even noticing each other." She whispered to Ash after waiting for a couple minutes.

Ash took a pause, a finger under his chin. "Cover for me." He said, as he walked away.

She sighed, "I don't get paid enough for this," continued on to picking up dishes and collecting the tip.

After a couple minutes, Ash came back. Curious, she asked him what happened. He began to scratch the back of his neck, "Well, they ignored me, Serena your turn." He took the plates from her hands. He sets them on an empty table, and pushed her into him.

She giggled as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "You know the rules, Ketchum."

"It's not a kiss on the lips, Sere," he placed his hands on her face and moved it slightly low as her forehead was touched by his lips. "Good luck," he let go and returned to the customers.

Serena turned around and walked over to Mitete first,"Like the cake?" She questioned.

Miette took notice, and nodded her head. "Yeah, it's really good." She said grabbing onto her fork.

"My cousin actually makes the cake here, want to meet him?" She smiled at how smoothly that went.

"Sure,"

Serena went over to Calem, he was currently in the kitchen finishing off the decoration of a simple white frosty cake. He took noticed of her presences. "Yes?" He asked.

"I want you to meet someone," She perked up as he set down a bowl that was on his hands.

"I'm kind of busy, and I'm a mess," he motioned as she saw he was indeed a mess; powder everywhere.

"She really likes the cakes." She said trying to convince him.

"Most aren't mine, some are Delia' s recipes." Serena rolled her eyes at how he had something to say at every single thing she said.

"But, you do make them." She emphasized grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the kitchen.

She saw Miette look up at Calem and Serena, she eyed Calem up and down. She greeted her once more. "Miette, this is my cousin and the one who makes the cakes here." Miette's eyes widen as she extended her arm out.

"Calem, nice to meet you." He said accepting her handshake.

"Miette," Serena gently waited as the two were slowly getting into a full conversation, she turned around and went to Ash.

"How?"

"Talents," Serena said with a smirk.
