Playful Banter and Weddings - Part 2

"I'm glad you think so. Hahaha." A new figure appeared beside Mafe.

The figure was smiling quite widely watching Deanna enjoy her cake. It was entertaining to say the least. 'The girl must love her cake.' The figure thought. She always loved it when her baked goods made people love food more. It was the sort of thing she enjoyed watching, much like her sister watched her and Mafe enjoy her pastries.

Now, Deanna didn't really notice the figure as she was busy worshipping the cake that made her feel alive. It was only until when the figure spoke up that Deanna stopped chewing and lo and behold. Miss Beautiful was right there in front of her.

'Damn.'

'I gotta agree with that one. Damn.'

'Wow.'

'Um guys, we kinda have to you know, talk.'

'Just let us stare at her for a bit more.'

"Just in time. Thank you so much for the cake. It was amazing." Wendy said as she hugged the baker.

Deana was again, staring.

'They're brown.'

'A beautiful shade of brown.'

'Guys, I get it. She's gorgeous and her eyes are a stunning brown but we have to talk!'

"Hi! I'm glad you like the cake." The baker remarked to Deanna.

Deanna could only nod. She was frozen. How in heaven's name is a woman this beautiful and this skilled? The only way to a man's heart is through his stomach? Forget about that, this woman was in Deanna's soul.

"It's delicious. So, so delicious." Deanna managed to muster out in all nervousness.

"Thank you. I'm Jema by the way. Jema Galanza." The baker remarked.

The baker has a name! And what a beautiful name it was!

"Wong, Deanna. Nice to meet you." Deanna greeted Jema as she held out her cake free hand.

The moment Deanna felt Jema's hand on hers, her world stopped. Even Jema stopped but in Deanna's version of this moment all she really could see was Jema. Her radiant smile and her gorgeous eyes with her beautiful face mesmerised Deanna completely. Everything was silent for those few moments until Luigi burst out laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry, D. Just HAHAHAHA" Luigi was pissing himself laughing.

Deanna was so frozen that she hadn't realised that there was cake on parts of her face. She was still casually staring at Jema who was starting to feel that Deanna had a bit of a crush on her. Jema was used to people becoming like this around her. She was stunning, according to other people. Jema was a bit insecure about certain things but reactions like these made her forget them sometimes.

"You have cake on your cheek, Deanna." Jema said with a chuckle and handed Deanna a tissue.

"Sorry. I. I'm just so sorry. I'm not usually like this." Deanna said, embarrassed that the baker caught her in her messy state.

"It's quite alright, Deanna. Hahaha." Jema responded.

Unbeknownst to the two, Luigi and Mafe have already signalled to each other to leave the two alone. They had the exact same idea; try and set up Jema and Deanna. Deanna obviously star strucked and Jema was smiling quite happily, something Mafe rarely saw since a certain incident a year ago.
