Cramming Her Cupcake - Buying Her

I can’t help but feel a little bit jealous. I slide my food onto a plate and sit down to eat it. “You should definitely call him then. It’s always a good idea to have more money ” I advise her in between bites of food. “Yeah, but what if it’s like a scam or something?” She asks me worriedly. I glance at the click and finish the rest of my food in a hurry. “You are just calling him. You don’t have to say yes to anything right away.” I remind her. Sheila laughs, “I guess you are right. I’ll call you later, my break is over ” she says. “Ok. Be safe at work.” I reply as we hang up.

I sit at the table and sip the rest of my coffee in silence. I think about sheila and sigh. I wish I could have guys hitting on me. I’m so busy with work that my dating life is pretty much nonexistent. I wash my breakfast dishes, then go upstairs to shower for work. I can clean the house later when I get home. When I arrive at my shop, I notice that there is a line of people. I’m shocked.

My employee, Ciara, was holding down the fort but as I walk in the door I notice she looks flustered. I hurriedly put on my apron and join her behind the counter. “Sorry, we got slammed with orders all of a sudden. ” she explains. “That’s ok. I’m here to help now. ” I assure her. I go in the back and start baking nonstop. People are happy that their orders are finally being taken care of. Ciara looks back at me and gives me a thumbs up. I smile at her. She is a hard worker, but I am a little faster and more experienced than she is.

A couple of hours later we are all caught up. I’m rinsing off some things in the kitchen, and setting up in case we get another rush. “I guess people heard what a success that banquet was last night?” Ciara asks as she helps me. “Seems that way, business seems to be really picking up now.” I reply happily. Honestly, I am happy. Even though it might seem hectic and chaotic, I love my job.

Ciara answers the phone and starts writing things down. Apparently I have another custom cake request. I can’t wait to get started on it. Baking is fun. I soon lose myself as I start designing the cake. Ciara watches intently. She wants to learn to do the things that I do. She’s a sweet person, I don’t mind showing off my skills. We work together and are proud of the finished outcome. Tired but proud. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of my job.

Chapter 4

Tammy

I am supposed to be getting ready for work, but I’m not ready to leave the comfort of my bed. I’m wide awake of course. I’m laying there staring up at the ceiling. I have a bunch of online orders I need to work on today. I hope the store isn’t as packed as it was yesterday. Although a busy day means a good day, it’s still a lot of work to handle.

My cell phone is charging on the dresser by my bed. It rings loudly. I blink a couple of times and then answer it. “Hello?” I ask. “You are not going to believe this.” Sheila says loudly from the phone. “What’s up?” I ask curiously. If she’s calling it’s either important or she is on her break at work. “So I called Andrew and found out that this “money making opportunity” is a virginity auction!” She says in shock. I’m surprised by it too, but also a little intrigued. “What does that mean exactly?” I ask. I heard they have them in the big cities, but I’m not completely sure about them.

Sheila explains to me how rich millionaires can bid in women for anything they want, including their virginity. To be honest that sounds kind of exciting. Being in a room with rich gorgeous men. I don’t say this out loud. Sheila is still talking about it. “I can’t do something like that though. I’m not that type of person. ” she complains. “Maybe you can just host it or something? Will you still get money if you do that?” I ask curiously. “Yeah….he did say I could make good money doing it that way, but I still don’t know.” Sheila says hesitantly.

I sigh loudly in exasperation. “Oh just do it. Your business could use the money. Besides, it’s not like you are actually participating in it ” I encourage her. After a few moments she goes “maybe you’re right. I’ll have to call him back and talk to him about it.” I sit up in bed and pull the covers around me. “That’s the spirit, and now you have another reason to call and flirt with him.” I say giggling. Sheila hushes me. “I was not flirting with him. It was the other way around.” She clarifies. “Whatever, just call him and let me know how it goes. I need to get ready for work. ” I reply. “Ok, I’ll talk to you later. ” sheila says as we both hang up.
