Forty-Four: Chocolate Cake

"I don't know..." Audrey said softly. "What do you want to do, sweetpea?"

"Hm... can we eat cake?" Morganne asked softly.

"Sounds good to me. What about you?" Shelby asked her lover.

"To me too." The actress smiled.

"Yay!" Morganne squealed as she started guiding them to the cake shop.

"What kind are you getting?" Shelby asked.

"Chocolate," Morganne smiled softly.

"I'll get chocolate, too," Audrey commented, the three now entering the cake shop.

"Why don't we get a whole chocolate cake?" Shelby asked.

Audrey and Morganne looked at Shelby with huge, brown eyes. "Yes!" Both said together, laughing right after.

Shelby smiled at the two, thinking they were absolutely adorable. "If I had British money, I would buy the cake."

"It's okay, I don't mind buying it." Audrey smiled as they reached one of the tables. "Are we taking it home or eating here?"

"Can we eat here?" the girl asked softly, already sitting on one of the chairs.

"Sure," Shelby said with a smile before sitting next to the girl.

Audrey smiled brightly as she saw her lover sitting next to Morganne. She sat in front of them, right in the middle.

"Are you interested in psychology?" Shelby asked as she set the books on the table.

"Mhm," Morganne nodded. "I'm doing research."

"What about?" Audrey asked as she placed the book on top of the others.

"Eating disorders and genetics."

"You mean, like if eating disorders are passed down?" Shelby asked with furrowed brows.

"Not exactly passed down, but kinda... I'm starting with basic research about how the body's memory works and if genes have memory too... if it makes sense." The girl giggled softly.

"It does, that's awesome!" Audrey exclaimed.

"I think that's incredible." Shelby smiled. "You're such a smarty."

Morganne giggled as she stared down at her tiny hands. "Thank you."

"Of course!" The actress smiled.

"Of course," Shelby smiled brightly. Before she could comment on the girl's intelligence again, a young woman in a waitress uniform came to their table.

"What can I get you ladies today?" She asked.

"We'd like a chocolate, medium cake, please," Audrey said softly.

"What would you like to drink, my loves?"

"Two chocolate milkshakes," Shelby said with a small smile before glancing down at Morganne.

Morganne stared up at Shelby with a sweet smile, causing Audrey to melt inside.

"And a strawberry one, please." The actress turned to the waitress.

"Alright, do you want that to go or for here?" She asked.

"For here, please," Audrey said sweetly.

"Alright, I'll be right back." The waitress smiled before going away.

"Are you having fun?" Shelby asked as she looked to Morganne.
