The next day I was placing the orders down to hand it to the customers to enjoy them. Kelly and I were having a conversation as always when I notice a guy enters inside looking around as I felt my cheeks heat up. I never seen him before or would like to get to know about him even.

"How are you today sir?" I asked him taking my notepad out.

"I'm doing fine today. I came here to take an order to go and its very important." He said in a serious tone.

"R-Right. What would you like?" I asked.

"Do you have any chocolate cake?" He asked.

"Chocolate cake? Oh yeah we've got them and how many would you like?"

"Just one."

"Kelly, we need one chocolate cake."

"Sorry. But we're all out." Kelly informed.

"Oh, well I guess I'll do it hand made." I said grabbing an apron as I turned over to the man.

"I can wait and it's nothing too busy to rush baking a cake anyway." He smirked sending me a wink.

"O-Of course." I said as I went in the back of the room to prepare a special chocolate cake for the strict customer.
