Adventures In Cupcakes

Writing Prompt: "What?! No!" "Please!" "No!" "Plea-" "No!" "Pretty PLEASE!" "Fine." "Yay!" (Once again I changed a little but same freakin concept)

"Thank you and have I nice d-"

"Nova!"Miles yells as he walks in the door.

"Miles." I whisper under my breath sounding annoyed.

"Excuse me ma'am? What did you say?" My customer asks.

"Nothing. Just have a nice day." I tell my customer.

"Ok thanks." the customer says as she walks away.

"Nova." Miles says as he walks up to the counter and taps a rhythm on it.

"Miles. You can't yell my name when you walk in the door to my workplace." I tell him. I work at a coffee shop and bakery called The Cupcake Bean. "You're gonna get me fired."

He gives me a look that says sorry. "Yeah, I'm sorry but I have an idea." He says bouncing on his heels.

I sigh. "Whats your idea?" I ask.

"Tonight after The Cupcake Bean closes." He starts. I nod my head signaling that he can continue. "We should use your keys and sneak in. Once we're in we should use the kitchen to make a whole bunch of cupcakes." He finishes his idea. Yes I have keys. I've been working here for 2 years and I lock up the shop sometimes.

"And why would we do that?" I question.

"Because I want some cupcakes."

"Why not just buy one? I mean this place is half coffee shop half bakery."

"Because I want to bake my own cupcakes."

"Ok, then why do we have to sneak into The Cupcake Bean to do that?"

"Because this place has a big kitchen."

"So you want to make your own cupcakes in The Cupcakes Bean's kitchen just because you want some cupcakes?"

"Yes. Exactly."He says as he nods his head with finality.

"What?! No!"

"Please!"

"No!"

"Plea-"

"No!"

"Pretty PLEASE!"

"Fine."

Wait, really?"

"Yeah."

"YES!" He exclaims as he reaches across the counter and hesitantly taps my shoulder. I give him a questioning look. He just shrugs and says, "It was an excited thank you tap." I laugh lightly. Wait shouldn't he be at work?

"Miles why aren't you at work? We have the same working hours?"

"Oh yeah. I'm on break." He says with a small shrug.

"Don't you think you should get back to work then? Also you're holding up the line. You're seriously going to get me fired."

"Oh. I'm sorry!" He shouts down the line of people which cause a lot of people in the shop to look at him and me. I put head in my hands and rub my temples while shaking my head. He turns back to me looking embarrassed.

"See you later, Nova." He says as he walks out of the shop. I shake my head with a small smile at his actions and get back to work.

Two hours later I'm saying goodbye to my co-workers and shutting off lights. It's my turn to lock up which is perfect for Miles's Idea. As I'm shutting off the last light I glance up and see Miles watching me through the window. He notices that I saw him and starts smiling and waving. He walks over to the door as I open it. "Why were you just watching me?"

"I wanted to see how long it would take you to notice me."

"And how long did it take?" I ask. I'm actually curious.

"3 minutes."

"You were staring at me for 3 minutes?"

"Yep."

"Ok."

We go into the kitchen and get out all the supplies. As I'm grabbing a bowl I hear something crack. I turn around and see Miles with eggs on his shirt. "What happened?"

He looks up at me with wide panicked eyes. "I dropped them."

"If you just dropped them then how are they on your shirt?"

"Ok fine. I was trying to juggle them and they landed on my shoulders and ran down my shirt." I can hear the embarrassment and shame in his voice. I press my lips together to keep from laughing out loud.

"Why did you try to juggle them?" I say. I can hear the laughter in my own voice.

"I wanted to see if I had that talent."

"Clearly you don't." I say as I burst out laughing. He looks so offended, but I can see him trying not to laugh.

"What am I supposed to do now?" He asks in a whiny voice.

"I don't know. Take off your shirt or something." I suggest while still laughing.

"That's not a bad idea actually." I abruptly stop laughing.

"I wasn't being serious." I say as he pulls his t-shirt over his head. Oh my god. My best friend has abs! I turn around to finish grabbing the bowls and cupcake tins. How did I not know that Miles has abs?! We've been in a pool together multiple times. Have I just never paid much attention to him?!

"What do I do with my shirt now?" I hear Miles innocently ask from behind me. Oh I don't know. Put it back on so I don't get distracted maybe! I sarcastically yell in my head.

"Um set it on the counter I guess." I say still facing away from him. I can hear him moving around behind me. All of a sudden I see something white fly past my shoulder. It's flour. I spin around forgetting that Miles is still shirtless. I see him standing there with flour all over his hands and a big smile on his face.

"Did you just throw flour at me?" I ask as I playfully raise an eyebrow.

"You can't prove that." He tells me with a smirk on his face.

"Just like I can't prove this?" I say as I walk over, grab the flour, and throw some at his chest. He picks up an egg and cracks it over my head then throws more flour at my head.

"Miles!" I yell as I throw more flour at him.

10 minutes later both of us are covered in eggs and flour. We haven't even made the cupcakes yet!

"Maybe we should bail on this idea. We should just go home and get washed up." I suggest as I pick eggshell out of my hair.

"Ok." He says reluctantly. "But we are actually making cupcakes tomorrow, right?" He asks hopefully.

"Yeah sure." I say as I throw his shirt at him. He catches it and smiles. We head out to his truck.

He drops me off at my house and heads back to his apartment. I collapse on my bed after a shower and take a deep breath. This was an interesting night. And my best friend has abs. Oh God.
