The Cake

Bryce let his gaze scan over his victim. He searched for injuries, any sign of abrasion or sprain. The woman in his hands began to shake. He looked up and saw her eyes were closed, her mouth open in a silent scream, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

“Oh my god,” he said with horror. “What is it? What hurts? We can get a doctor here immediately–”

The woman gasped, inhaled with a wrenching cry and then exhaled with huge body-wracking…laughs. She was laughing. Bryce let go of her immediately, took a step back and watched her warily.

Was she insane?

The woman let the tray fall from her hands, and then she collapsed to the floor, blonde hair curling over her face as she positively vibrated with laughter.

“Oh. My. God.” She spoke between heaves. “I’m so glad I made extra. I almost didn’t. I almost went to bed, but I just knew. Somehow, I just knew something would happen, so I said Lissa, I know you’re more tired than a one legged man at a butt-kicking contest, but better safe than sorry right?”

Bryce was speechless.

The blonde woman looked up, and he felt like he’d been hit in the gut. She was prettier than her confections. Pale blue eyes, a sprinkle of freckles over her nose, and deep dimples framing a rosebud mouth, currently covered in a thick layer of pink cupcake frosting.

“What?” the woman wiped a hand over her cheek, spreading more pink frosting on her face. “Do I have something?”

“Uh…” He realized it was his cue to respond, but he couldn’t think of anything to say…except. “You know the groom has one leg, right? Wyatt? He’s got a prosthetic–”

“Oh. My. God.” The woman clamped a hand over her mouth, looked like she was going to be sick. “I am so sorry. I’m so tired, and that’s just, that saying about the one legged man…Oh my god, I’m a monster! My Uncle used to say that, and honestly he was an ass, so I should never quote anything that man said. EVER.” She let her hands fall into her lap. “Please forgive me,” she said. “I’m hella tired.”

Bryce smiled, crouched down beside her, and offered her his hand. She took it, and shook.

“Lissa Sweet,” she said. “I’m here to do the cake.”

“Yeah I kind of figured that out,” said Bryce. “Bryce Harrington, nice to meet you, but….” he glanced down at their hands. “I was trying to help you up, not so much with the introductions–”

“Oh my god! Again with the stupid! I’m so sorry.” She clambered to her feet, lost her balance briefly, and clamped down on Bryce’s forearms with frosting covered hands. Their gazes met, and Bryce felt the simultaneous urges to look quickly away and stay locked in that position forever.

“You’re kind of covered in frosting,” he said finally, and raised a finger to wipe some of the pink buttercream off her face. But just as his finger touched her cheek, she turned her head and poked
