"Alright...what do you think?" I ask anxiously. My mother's face stayed neutral. I just made some brownies and I really need the feedback so I can figure out if I can sell them.

"It's good!" She beams her silky turquoise hair bounced with her. "You're so talented!"I sigh sitting down.

"You're honest with me right mom?"

"Totally!"

                                   -Next day-

My eyes fall on Riley as his jet black hair gracefully falls over his face. His hand lays his hand on a certain part of the book he's reading taking notes. I blush shyly. He's so smart it's cute as hell!!!

"Do I have something on my face or...?" Riley declared.

"No," I mumble before clearing my throat. "I've brought you some brownies If you'd want to try them?" I shyly open the tin of brownies extending them to him. He takes one of the brownies inspecting it. Slowly he takes a small bite swallowing it. Silence fills the room as I anticipate his reaction.

"This tastes horrible," Riley states calmly handing me back. My face turns beet red out of embarrassment.

"Oh..." I awkwardly laugh. "Okay..."

"Don't get me wrong I really enjoy your baking, this just sucks." Riley shrugs. My heart beats faster. "I'll eat your other stuff."

I wrap my hands around my head sighing. "It's a good thing I decided not to sell those!" I chuckle. "I need to stop listening to my mom's tastes."

"You sell your baking?" Riley questions.

"Yeah it's a way to bring in cash!" I smirked. "Something to help my mom out she's done a lot for me! Not to mention it's something I love to do. But lately it's felt more like a job than a hobby and even though it's making money I miss seeing people smile and enjoy what I make. Sometimes I just want to quit you know?" I lift my head up just to lock eyes with Riley.

"I enjoy your baking," Riley says to me looking super dreamy. "I'll try them all, so don't stop." My heart jumps out of my chest. Ahhhh, he's so cute!!!

"O-okay!" I stutter. "You're not a picky eater right?"

"Nope and don't worry I don't have any allergies." Riley says looking back to his textbook. "You can trust me to tell you if your baking sucks." My smile widens as I blush. I'm so glad I've got Riley in my life!
