Sweet Temptations

Chapter 3

Christina’s POV

I’m dreaming, totally dreaming.
Its time to wake up now Tina! My subconsciousness says.
Wake up! Wake Up! Wake up now!

Flashback

“Surely, everything is to my liking, sweets” with a wink he pointed to the red velvet cake on display.

But all I see is his plump kissable lips talking to me yet I can’t hear a thing he’s saying. All I see is striking blue eyes blinking at me. So blue, like the deep oceans that held secrets and mystery. Full bent lashes that fan out and touches his beautiful skin and strong jaws that can possibly cut through metal. The man in front of me is Drop Dead Gorgeous and it takes everything in me not to jump him from this marble counter. Wooaw down girl!

A clearing of a throat pulls me out of my eye fucking this specimen in front of me and a deep voice that surely make any angel sing with pleasure spoke up

“Can I get my red velvet cake order now?”

“W-what?” I said to the man in front of me.

The next thing I heard is a chuckle that leaves me goosebumps
“You know you can take a picture, it last much longer” the man smirked at me.

Pull yourself out Tina!

With blushing cheeks, I cleared my throat and ask him his order again before my distraction.

“Do you want something written on it?” I ask the man with striking blue eyes.

“Yes, if you don’t mind.” He replied.
Grabbing a notepad and pen, I handed it to the man “You can put on the Note here and I’ll be back with the icing to write it.”

I began to the kitchen grabbing the nearest icing I can find to write up his request and proceed back to the counter after pinching myself that the man is real.
I began Icing as per his request which is a Birthday message probably to his niece named Lizzy. I decorated the cake with small flowers in between and carefully tilt it for him to see. Upon his nod I maneuvered the cake to a pink box and tied it with our signature ribbon.

“T-that’ll be 13$ in total sir.”
I stuttered as I said to the man at the same time handing him his order.
He gave me the bill and I totally felt sparks as our fingers slightly touched. As I cashed it in and about to give him his change, I heard his voice saying to keep the change. I glance after the man watching him push the door to open upon his exit and strode towards a black car and get inside after securing the cake he purchased. And then the man with striking Blue eyes was gone.

End of Flashback

I shook my head distracting myself from looking outside I thought It must be a dream, right? But as I looked at Ashleigh on the other side of the counter and saw her giggling and giving me wiggling eyebrows look while snatching her phone to start texting. That’s Odd. I continued my work on checking the items that need to be replaced. Making sure that it is detailed on the computer on my right I advance towards it but something caught my eye. Dropping my gaze to the counter.
Huh? Is that a……card?
I saw the card and took it, must surely left by the man since he was the last customer. Turning it over I stifle a gasp reading the name on it.

BLAKE STANFORD |CEO|STANDFORD EMPIRE

He’s Blake! The Blake of Stanford Empire! Damn… that’s why he looks familiar.
OMG that’s Jeremy’s Boss!

As if that’s a calling, I look up from the card as I hear another chime and saw my bestfriend Jeremy opening the door with his right hand and his phone on the left hand sporting a smirk.
I knew that look. I raised my eyebrows and stare at him as his smirk grew towards a grin.

“A little birdy told me that Somebody stop by that Surely made you flush like a schoolgirl.”

He said to me and moves to get towards the back of the counter. I can’t help a scoff and roll my eyes as I proceed to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients we’ll need for concocting another sweet experiment. I pass by Ashleigh, gave her the nod which signifies that she can start wrapping up things for closing since the café is almost bare of customers. I know Remy is following me giving Ashleigh a high five. Really those two!

“Well guess what?” Remy said after situating himself opposite me in my baking table. Hands crossing on his arms and donning a pair of aprons like mines which he surely took from the shelf near the door. I look at him and said
“What?”
“He surely is Single.” Prolonging the word single in a singsong voice.

I gave him the best confused look and said “And your point is?”

“You should take this chance and make babies with him. Duhh.”

I roll my eyes at his comments and proceed on sifting the flour. Remy continued saying “You know what Tina; I work for Mr. Stanford for a while now and I can say he’s a walking Sex on Legs! Anyone that he bangs will surely get a limp!”

I almost missed separting the yolk form the whites, Remy has no filter I tell you. Shaking his comments “I don’t even know the guy Remy. For all I know he maybe an axe murderer or a con! He just appeared one second and puff, gone the next!” I said giving my bestfriend my attention.

“Oh come on Tina! when was the last time you share a hot night with a body like that huh!”

Probably too long.
“See I told you! your social life probably doesn’t even exist!!”

Ever since the café open, I put my all to run it and since then I never get to do things that is not on my priority. I was so busy in managing it that it was probably in forever since I stepped out for drinks with my friends.

I sigh and look at Remy “I probably don’t even have one.” I mumbled softy but Remy still heard it because he said “And we should Change that!” baffled I asked him how and I get a loud “We’re going Clubbing!!”

Defeatedly I just sufficed a mocking “Yay” and continued my concoction.
