Finding Mr. Right

Chapter 2

It was Tuesday morning and Sara was working at the bakery that she works at most days when she is not busy finishing her last semester of college. She was covered in powdered sugar from a mishap while trying to make frosting for some cupcakes and was just exhausted from the rush of the day when another customer walked in just before closing.

"Hey there! How are you doing? It's Sara right?" Roger asked her from the other side of the display case.

"Yep, that's me. I'm doing fine. How can I help you?" Sara asked wondering if Roger had been given a tip from her aunt that she worked at this bakery. 

"I was wondering if I could maybe get one of those famous cupcakes that I have heard so much about and a coffee please." 

" Sure! We only have basic vanilla and cookie dough left. Which would you prefer? Also, I'm sorry but we don't sell coffee here."

"Cookie dough? That's a weird cupcake flavor. Definitely vanilla. And that's okay about the coffee, I figured as much. How about I take you out for coffee though? That way I can still get both." Roger asked in a smooth voice trying to act like he did not just directly ask her out.

"Um, well I won't be done here for another thirty minutes but I guess..." She nervously responded. Even though she was pretty sure that this guy was the one her aunt had been trying to set her up with, she knew nothing about him and aren't you suppose to stay away from strangers?

"Great! I can wait here or at the coffee shop around the corner. It's your choice!" He excitedly responded.

"How about I just meet you at the coffee shop?" 

"Sounds great!" She handed him his cupcake after he had paid and as he was walking out of the door he responded with a " I'm so excited that I get to see you again soon!"

As she began locking up the bakery and doing the last minute clean-up routine she called her best friend Lacey. "Hey chickadee! What's up?"

"So remember how I told you my Aunt Lisa was trying to set me up?"

"Of course! How could I forget she wouldn't stop talking about it at the last family dinner."

"Right. Well, she must have finally got this guy on board as well because he randomly showed up to help me with the two year olds on Sunday and then came to Bakery just a couple of minutes ago." Sara responded in a somewhat panicked voice.

"Well Darlin, how do you know he is on board? Maybe he was just seeing what all your aunt's fuss was about."

"Because, I am suppose to be meeting him for coffee in like twenty minutes." Sara rushed out like she couldn't get it out quick enough?

"What?!? You have a date and are just now telling me? Your in trouble now!" Lacey screamed through the phone.

"He only asked like five minutes ago so chill! But I was just calling you so that someone would know where I was at in case he is like some crazed lunatic." 

"Haha, okay. I guess I can forgive you. But don't worry doll, I've got ya covered. If you come up missing I will be able to give them starting point at least. What's his name and what does he look like in case I need to sketch out a drawing just in case." She asked completely seriously.

"Um, his name is Roger and I don't know he is kinda tall and skinny with dark hair and eyes."

"Okay, that's a good start.... what shape is his face? And what about his nose?"

"Gosh Lacey! I don't know!"

"How do you expect me to save you if I can't properly sketch out the suspect?" She asked still completely serious.
