Suddenly, I’m crying. What the fuck would I have done if something had happened to her?
“I really am so sorry Tiff, you have always been the one person I can count on, and you always lo
ok out for me. I really didn't mean to not call you. I got so caught up in Matt that I was only thinking of myself.” She says as she hugs me.
Who the hell is Matt? Pulling away I look at her. “Wait who the hell is Matt?”
When she turns bright red but doesn’t say anything, I put my hands on my hips.
“Well?”
“Ah… well, he is kind of sort of the guy I had sex with then I left my shoes at his place, you know… my Louboutin’s. Anyhow, he jokingly said I could have them back when I marry him. Then he showed up at Candy's, and it turns out he’s her brother. Later, we came back here and had hot monkey sex, and somehow, I love him, and we didn't use a condom.”
There is no fucking way I heard her right. For the first time in my life, I am rendered speechless.
“Tiff?”
“Wait, go back. You did what? Are you fucking kidding me right now?” I yell at her.
“Which part?” Jules says in a smart-ass tone while folding her arms.
“The whole thing. How could you be so stupid? Like for real Jules, what the actual fuck?”
“Excuse me?”
“You should know better.” I scold her only to feel my eyes widen at the realization that I sound just like one of my brothers scolding me for something. Her fiery attitude is just one thing I love about her.
“Maybe I should, but you should know me by now. I enter into everything with a calm head. I may have rushed in with Matt, but it was love at first sight. Nothing else matters to me anymore.“ Jules says with a soft look on her face.
“Love?” God, how could anyone fall in love with someone so fast?
“Yes, love. The kinda love that hits you square in the chest and almost makes it hard to breathe. Where you can be in a crowded room, and it feels like it is just the two of you in your own little bubble. It’s the kinda love we have always been looking for Tiff. It’s pure magic, and I have a feeling your little piece of magic is going to come soon.”
“Yeah right.” I snort and roll my eyes. The only way that is going to happen is if Cameron shows up.
“Trust me. Now, where's my cake you wench? I want to celebrate with my bestie.”
“It's right here. I need all the details.” I feel my face flush with all how in depth she gets into her details. The whole time she is talking, I can’t help but think of Cameron doing those things to me.
“Enough about me, tell me how the bakery is coming along. Are you still on track to open next week?”
Oh my God I am so excited. It took me two years to save up enough money to buy it. It is my baby, I can’t wait to be able to spend my days coming up with new treats for people to try.
“Yes. I am so fucking excited.”
“I think I already know who your best customer will be,” Jules tells me with a secret smile. Like she knows something I don’t.
Jules starts getting stuff ready to make her food while I start making my cakes. When I’m baking, I don’t have to think about what I am doing. It just comes to me, like the way words come to Jules. It comes naturally to me. I could do it in my sleep.
Chapter Two
Cameron
I haven’t been able to get Tiffani out of my mind. The first time I saw her was a month ago when I was getting a haircut from Jules. She had a picture of her at her station. She was with the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
I'm struck by how petite she is, she’s 5’1, 5’2 at the most.
She’d fit perfectly against me. Her dark brown hair reminds me of the chocolate I love so much, and her dark brown eyes that almost look gold seem to reach into my soul.
