Chapter Three

Lynn

“Oh, please. No, please,” I cried.

My favorite oven, also the largest one, hadn’t heated up, and it had been on for more than twenty minutes. It had finally crashed, and I knew I’d have to shut down the shop early, because my other ovens couldn’t handle the workload.

“Do you want me to refrigerate this batter, Ms. Lynn?” Mariah asked.

“Yes,” I said sadly. I had a ton of things that should have been in the oven already, and my morning was already shot.

“I can start the apple fritters in this oven, ma’am,” she said.

“Yes, go ahead, Mariah. We just won’t open until seven, instead of six.”

I headed to my office, sad, willing myself not to break out in tears. I went online to look for repair shops, but I knew there was no repairing Satan. I had named that oven Satan because it heated up like a good oven should, and I was not happy with it dying on me. “Lord, I have to get this place up to par,” I said aloud.

After a few sighs, I went out and helped Mariah and Al, and we opened at seven and closed at two, because the smaller ovens couldn’t perform fast enough.

“So are we opening tomorrow?” Al asked.

“Nah. You two are going to have a couple of weeks off. I got to get a new oven, and while that’s happening, I’ll make some upgrades back here. I’m going to find someone to get us up and running again.”

“Two weeks,” Mariah sighed.

“Yes, but paid. I’d never do you two like that.”

“Aw, thanks, Ms. Lynn,” Mariah said.

I smiled. “Don’t mention it.”

I headed home and walked in to find Chez’s boxes. Dealing with the bakery, I had forgot that I had to make another drop-off. After loading the boxes in my SUV, I went upstairs and showered and changed. I figured I’d call my girlfriend Kenya and ask her to have a drink with me after I dropped off the boxes, so I put on makeup and threw a few curls in my hair. Yes, I had let myself go during my lonesome marriage with Chester, but I couldn’t lose it all in one day, so I had to work with what I had. Satisfied with my maxi dress and sandals, I thought a few bangles and oversize earrings would dress up my outfit. I was aiming for a cocktail look, not a walk in the park look.

Pleased with my ensemble, I showered my mocha skin with body spray and headed out. When I got to Chez’s building, I got out to unload the boxes. After my second trip, I took a quick break because I didn’t want to sweat.

On my way back to get another bunch of boxes, a stranger asked, “Do you need any help?”

I was about to say, “No. I got this,” but I turned to see one of the sexiest men I’d ever seen in my life. I did a quick head-to-toe scan, and yes, he was by far the sexiest.
