Making It (NOT UPDATING )

The one with the cupcakes

It had been a week since the incident at the beach and I still hadn't come to term with what had happened. Hoppo had arranged a meeting for everyone involved and we all got together to talk about it, and help eachother. It didn't help. Everytime I closed my eyes I saw the man's empty face staring back at me, mocking me on my failure.

I told Bacon I was fine, but i knew he didn't believe me. He did however let me grieve by myself, most of the time.

I was sat on the sofa in Bacon's appartment aimlessly flicking through christmas catalogues when Bacon came in and stood infront of me. I looked up to see him stood there with an adorable smile on his face and a huge white chefs hat on his head.

"What the matter Chef?" I asked laughing, "I think the kitchen is that way." I pointed through the doorway to his very small kitchen.

He pouted. "I know where the kitchen is silly. I want you to come and help me." He dragged out the "me" for as long as he could before he ran out of air, like a little child who's parents weren't giving him what he wanted. I laughed as he took my hands in his and pulled me up and into the kitchen. His kitchen was so tiny that if there was one other person in there we couldn't have moved.

Set out on the sideboard were all the ingredients to make a cake. I looked at Bacon with my eyebrows raised hoping for an explaination. "We're going to make cupcakes!" He exclaimed jumping up and down with a huge smile on his face.

I laughed at him and shook my head, "You're like a little child sometimes you know that?" I told him. He just grinned back at me his eyes shining with happiness. "Right then, where do we start?"

The first step was to measure out all the ingredients which in a kitchen as small as Bacon's is extremely difficult seeing as though you keep bumping into eachother sending the flour everywhere. I was measuring out the last few grams of flour when Bacon nudged me causing a huge load of flour to fall into the bowl and sending the weight of the bowl way over 200 grams. Bacon laughed as I turned towards him. Scooping some of the sugar from the bowl onto a spoon I flicked it at him. It hit him right in the face and caked him in the white powder.

"Oh it's on." He said picking up another spoon and filling it with flour. I ducked just as he flung it so the flour landed in my hair turning my mousey brown locks grey. He grabbed me from behind and began tickling my sides until I shrunk down onto the floor begging for freedom. Laughing he pulled me up to my feet and we carried on with the recipe Bacon occasionally still bumping me in the hip but no more flour being thrown.

After we had measured out all the ingredients and put them in the mixing bowl it was Bacon's job to mix. He was terrible. Within 2 minutes he was complaining that his arm was hurting and that I had to take over. As I mixed he kept trying to stick his finger in and wipe the mixture on my nose. After my 5th attempt of hitting his hand away I gave in bring the the wooden mixing spoon around behind me and smearing the mix along his cheekbone. "That's cheating!" He said, eyebrows fixed in a frown and lips in a pout.

"No rules were set!" I said, as I swiped my finger in the mix still in the bowl. "This tastes really good by the way."

"I don't care if rules were set I'm telling you now."

Bacon stuck his hand in the bowl and wiping it down the bridge of my nose. This resulted in the second food fight of the day. With lots of shrieking and screaming we smeared eachother with cake mix until there was more mix on us than there was in the bowl.

Breathless with laughter Bacon wiped his finger down my nose and tasted the cake mix. "You're right, it does taste great." He said. He looked at the bowl, "Though there's not much left to cook now."

I picked up the bowl and led him back to the sofa. "Who needs cupcakes when you have cake mix?"
