It was rush hour and customers were calling to place orders or stepping in for lunch or to pick up their boxes of goodies.I'd been back in NY for two days and had basically been in a hurry from my apartment to the shop and back.

I came home early tonight, and had decided to spend the rest of the night in my apartment watching reruns of the TV showRevenge. I was exhausted being on my feet for the past few days, and not having a peaceful sleep during the night. I'd planned on having an early night, but my dreams were completely washed away.I bolt upright at the sound of the doorbell. 'Who's at the door?' I thought. I wasn't expecting anyone. And I certainly wasn't in the mood for any guests. Besides, I was dressed in a t-shirt that I'd stolen from my brother Cody and a pair of leggings that weren't for the eyes of any company.

It was Friday- Logan grandmother's birthday. I'd decided to prepare two dishes for the meal which I could only guess is a three course meal. The dishes I chose were scalloped potatoes and chicken enchiladas.

Everything was in containers or trays, just waiting to leave my apartment. It was about 4:56 pm and Logan would be arriving any time soon. I'd long ago made up my mind to make him wait just ali

She'd fallen asleep on the ride home from my grandma's party and I'd decided to put her to bed, which explains having to carry her. Heading straight to her door, I held her in bridal style, and her handbag as best as I could. She was so petite in my arms and so peaceful when she's asleep.When we arrived at her apartment door, I placed her on her feet for a second, keeping a hold on her and keeping her standing upright while asleep. She didn't even blink. Her head moved to my shoulder, her hands grasping my flannel shirt as tightly as she could. I smiled at this. She didn't seem aware that she was doing this, but it did make me h

I'd decided to make an orange cake for dessert, based on the ingredients that I found in the kitchen, and from how it looked now, I knew it was successful. Mia went on to prepare dinner and I'd only recently began assisting her. Everything was now prepared, and I couldn't be happier.It was nice having someone else there in the kitchen when I was preparing something. In the bakery, I liked handling things on my own, and most times, if someone did join me, it would be done in silence. Mia was very attentive, and moved around the kitchen with so much grace, almost like she belonged there."Come on," she beam as

Chapter EighteenKhloe AndersonI looked at myself in the mirror for what was probably the hundredth time. This dress is too sexy, too tight, too large, too flashy, too pale, too-ugh!Mia had invited me to her annual charity ball, and I wasn't sure what dress was appropriate for such an event, so I had asked Alyssa for assistance. Plain to say, she was certainly serious when she said it would be out of this world. I wasn't certain whom the dress was actually for.
