Chapter Six

Jess parked the van of Latte’s Away in front of Dean’s house and Henley unbuckled her seatbelt. She turned to her friend and smiled. “Thanks for your help, Jess.”

“No problem. I have to admit it was rather fun. It’s not every day that I get to spend another man’s money.”

Henley chuckled and opened the door.

“Let me help you unload,” Jess said and the two women climbed out of the van. Jess slid open the side door just as Dean came out of the house.

“Hey Dean,” Jess greeted him.

“Hey,” he said to her and glanced at Henley. “Did you have fun?”

“Actually we did,” Jess chuckled. “Give us a hand please?”

“Sure,” he chuckled as she shoved a box his way.

It took them about ten minutes to unload the van and pack everything in the kitchen. They said goodbye to Jess and Henley and Dean stepped inside the house.

“You’ll be glad to hear that I sent Kyle and Devon away for the evening, so they won’t bother you.”

“Us, you mean.”

He frowned at her and she laughed. “They won’t bother us. You’re helping me, remember.”

“I know. I’m here at your disposal.”

She flashed a crooked smile and nodded. “Good to know.”

“So, where do we start?”

“Well, a cup of coffee would be nice,” she answered with a smirk.

“Of course. Anything you want,” he said.

While he made them each a cup of coffee, Henley started organizing the ingredients into three groups. The first group was the ingredients for the cake itself, the second one was for the fondant and the structuring of the cake when it is put together, and the third one was for decorating.

She placed two large mixing bowls on the counter and started adding the dry ingredients into the two bowls.

She didn't have to concentrate too much, as she had done this so many times in the past, it just came naturally to her. She spotted Dean looking at her in awe as she added all the dry ingredients together without as much as a recipe in front of her.

“What?” she asked as she wiped her floury hands on her jeans.

“Nothing. You just look so natural. Happy even.”

“Baking was one of the things that made me happy in my life.”

“What were the other things?”

“I’m still trying to figure that out.”

He grinned at her and handed her a bright red cup of steaming hot coffee.

“Thank you,” she said gratefully taking the cup from him. She dug in her back pocket and took out his credit card. “Here you go. I didn't overspend. I promise.”

“That’s okay. As long as you got everything you needed.”

“I made a list last night and I am sure I got everything,” she said with a nod and placed her cup down on the counter. She scooped out two blocks of butter and started to mix them into the dry ingredients.

“You’re really good at this,” he said with a grin.

“I’ve been doing it for so long, it just comes naturally,” she answered modestly.

Dean smiled at her and stepped to her. “What
