Whistling away while I work, I admire the five layers of cakes to be put together soon for Monica Fletcher’s wedding. This is going to be my most amazing work and I’m excited to get started. Monica has been cooler toward me since the morning she’d found me wrapped around her brother in the kitchen.

Shane had dismissed it as a one off because Monica had only just woken up, but I don’t know. Something tells me that the girl is jealous that her brother has a girlfriend. I smile at the title. I’m his girlfriend. We’d spent the weekend together at my place and in the end it had been amazing. We’d talked, danced, laughed, watched movies, and made love repeatedly. I hadn’t wanted it to end, but unfortunately it had ended with Monday morning calling.

Shane had kissed me early this morning and headed home to shower and change into a business suit because he had a meeting downtown that he had to be presentable for. I much prefer him ruffled rather than neat as a pin.

Sighing again, I continue boxing the small cakes I have to take to the new building downtown for a large meeting they have this morning. I’d briefly wondered whether or not it was the same meeting Shane had to attend, but I don’t think it is. It would be nice to see him again even though we’d only parted a few hours ago.

“Oh, I see you’ve finished,” Marissa says, excitedly. “I don’t suppose there are any to spare.”

Chuckling, I pull out a plate with four miniature cream cakes on. “I saved you these.”

“I need these after the hangover this morning.” She pops one with a strawberry on top into her mouth, moaning and chewing. “The best decision I ever made was to give you a job.” She smiles. “This bakery wouldn’t be as popular as it is now if it wasn’t for you. I’m well aware of that. Maybe, we’ll talk after the wedding cake for the Fletcher’s has been revealed.”

“Don’t say that. You’ll make me nervous.”

She laughs. “Never. When it comes to you and your creations, I know there is nothing to worry about, and so do you. Your confidence is what a lot of pastry chefs don’t have when they’re fresh out of college. But you, your confidence in what you make is what makes it so good, and why people rely on you because they know you won’t let them down.”

“I think you need to be hung over more often, I love the praise,” I tease.

“Oh, shut up.” She sighs, eating another cake. “You know I’m only speaking the truth, but I think I’ll avoid asking about the SUV parked outside Friday and why the windows steamed up.” Marissa chuckles. My cheeks heat so much that I feel like I have a fever.

Grabbing and wetting a cloth in cold water, I dab at my cheeks hoping like heck she didn’t see what we actually did in Shane’s car. Shuddering, I pick
