Dangerous Illusion

2○

Pulling up at work i park in the back of the building. I love working here. Anytime Cakes. Mrs. Heather was kind enough to let me start working part time for her as soon as she met me 4 months ago.

Stepping out of my car i grab my purse and my apron, locking up my car i walk inside.

As soon as i walk in i smell all the delicious foods. Cookies, Cakes, and my favorite caramel pie my mouth starts the water just thinking of it.

I go into the back and put my purse in my locker and put my apron on and goes in search of Mrs. Heather.

It doesn't take me long. I spot her cleaning the tables.

"Mrs. Heather don't worry about doing that. It's my job" i say sweetly as i walk up to her.

"Oh honey i don't mind all my ovens are running and i was just standing around." She replys back with a smile

"Well how about you let me finish this and you go on and check on those ovens then?" i ask and hold out my hand to take the dish towel from her.

"Alright alright Emma" She laughs softly and hands over the towel and head to the back.

Smiling at her back i turn around and start to wipe down the tables as i hear her banging around in the back. She will come out in a few with flower all over her.

I hear the back door open and close and turn to see Ashley walking in.

Waving at her and smiling

"You made it here okay? The weather was getting horrible when i pulled up" i tell her

"Hey girl and yeah I'm okay. I had to drive a little slower but i made it" she chuckles

Yeah yeah Mrs. Speed demon i know.

"I don't know how you dont get any speeding tickets. I swear you act like your a racer" I scold her softly

"It's all about who you know" She winks at me and goes into the back

Shaking my head i finish wiping down the rest of the tables

Mrs. Heather walks out and i notice she has flower on her hands and a little of her face as she goes to turn the open/closed sign to open and unlocks the door.

Smiling to myself i go and put the towel away and fasten up my apron.

It's doesn't take long before our first customer walks in.

His a regular always ordering the same thing
Black coffee and two blueberry muffins.

Goes to the countertop i grab my notepad and head his way as he sits down at a table by the side left window.

Walking up to him i smile and flip my notepad open.

"Goodmorning Mr. Steel what can i get you today?" i ask with a smile

"Hi Emma. Yes I'd like the-

Black coffee and two blueberry muffins i say in my head.

"Black coffee and two blueberry muffins" He tells me

Yes i knew it. Set in his ways.

Shooting him a wink i write down his order and bring it to the counter for Ashley to fix his plate and coffee.

"First order" I tell her

" Already got it fixed for him" She says laughing

Taking the plate and being careful of the hot coffee i bring it to Mr. Steel.

"Here you go Sir" I say as i lay the plate and set the cup of coffee down beside it.

"Thank you" he replies back kindly

"Let me know if you need anything eles"

He won't but it's a habit i say to everyone.

Walking away i to and stand my the counter and talk to Ashley a bit as i hear my phone rining in my pocket.

Pulling it out i see it's my father and turn my phone off.

"Everything okay?" Ashley askes me

"Father" i reply

" I'm sorry he shouldnt bother you all the time for money" she says softly

"Yeah. That's all I'm worth to him. Money." i say and walk away as a new customer walks in

A few hours later i hear the door opening and in walks in this unbelievable gorgeous man.

He had black hair, looks to be blue eyes, nice clean face. His hair looks like he just got out of bed and can i say it looks amazing on him

My eyes follow him as he walks to the right of the room all the way and sits down at a small table.

Looking up at Ashley she gives me the thumbs up and i gulp loudly

Fuck. Chocolate chips. What do i do? Can i even talk? My hairs a mess. I didn't put on makeup. Did i even brush my teeth i ask myself.

My minds buzzing as i start to walk to his table slow and nervous.
