Friday Morning
I woke up at 7:30 and got up and headed downstairs to get some breakfast. I poured a bowl of cereal and ate it up, reading the newspaper. After that, I got dressed and headed off to work. I owned a little bakery on a little street in New York, where I baked cakes and sold them. It was a quiet business. Me and my best friend, Jenifer, worked there. I usually made the cakes and she sold them.
I walked in through the door, causing the bell on the door to ring, when I was greeted by the smell of cakes. I grabbed my apron and walked into the kitchen at the back. I grabbed the flour, sugar and eggs and began my first cake of the day. Soon after my best friend burst through the door.
"Carly! I'm so sorry I'm late!" She apologised.
"It's fine Jen!" I said. "Not like we are busy" I joked. She laughed and began to grab some cakes, and put them on display.
"Aren't you going to ask how my date went last night?!" She asked me with a smile.
"Nope" I joked. "I'm joking. Of course!" I replied. She sat down on the stool facing me.
"Well Murr took me out to a lovely restaurant, and he asked me to go out with him this Saturday... but has invited his friends. They are all really close with each other!" She told me.
"Well that's nice" I replied, focusing on the icing I was applying to the cake.
"And his friend Joe is bringing his wife. And Murr is bringing me and his mates Sal and Q are coming along" she told me. I nodded. "So I was wondering if you would come too!" She asked me. I stopped icing and looked up at her.
"I've never met them!" I said to her.
"Well now you can!" She said. "Please! I only know Murr! I need someone else with me!!" She begged. I really didn't want to go, but she always did things for me so I thought I owe her is.
"Fine!!" I said, practically giving up. She smiled and hugged me, as we got on with the rest of our day.
