Dreams And Baking

For the last two nights Mathew has been staying with me. I have enjoyed out time together. He says my crazy aunt threatened me and Edith. He has been such a gentleman, he makes sure the doors and windows are locked and then when he comes to bed all he does is hold me. He has shown me love without getting overly physical. I have learned so much about him, I feel like I have known him for years rather than days.

Unfortunately for the last three days I have been having the same dream. I told Edith about it the first day but I haven't told her that I have had the dream again. Last night when we went to the frat house and I saw the tree I got scared. The one thing I know for sure is the attack will come during the day. Something else that bothers me is I see wolves attacking, why would wolves attack us? I am just so confused. Should I tell Mathew? He said he wouldn't think of me as a freak, but I'm just not sure.

As we head to the bakery I want to tell him so bad but the more I try the less I seem to say. Once we walk through the door I head strait for the kitchen. Edith and I start the pastries for the special orders. Later I need to start the cakes. After about fifteen minute Mathew comes in to tell us he is heading back to his place. He kisses Edith's cheek then he comes over and kisses me. As he kisses me I see a flash a waking dream if you will. I am standing over by the tree and a large silver/grey Wolf come over to me

As Mathew breaks the kiss the dream ends. Once he leaves I decide to tell Edith.

"Um Edith I need to tell you something, do you remember the dream I told you about the day before Arya showed up here? Well I keep having the dream. I have had it for three days in a row now."

"Can you tell me anything specific about it? What do you see? Can you see if people are hurt?"

"All I know is its during the day, we are outside and we are attacked by a bunch of wolves. I myself am standing in front of the Christmas tree when a big silver/grey Wolf comes at me. Then the dream ends."

"Well I believe your dream means we will be attacked, but do you honestly believe it is wolves that attack us?"

"I don't know, I'm so confused, but Mathew needs to be prepared. I just don't want him to think I'm crazy."

"Okay so I will tell him about the dream. I won't give specifics but I will let him know to be prepared okay."

"Thank you Edith I'm so glad you don't think I'm crazy."

"No I don't think your crazy but if we don't get these orders done we will surely get yelled at for them not having their pastries."

I nod in agreement and we get back to work, little do I know that she is linking with both Steven and Mathew so they both know what is going on.

After we get the special orders done we get the display cases filled. After that is done I make the cakes. Once they are cooled enough I get them stacked. The large one is four layers, I use white frosting between each of the four layers then I stack the. The small cake is two layers. Once again I use the white frosting between layers as I stack them. Then I put them in the freezer because we are now opened.

Once the special orders are picked up the regular customers come in. Since we are closed tomorrow and Sunday people buy double what they usually get. Things move quickly, we refill the display cases three times. It's not until four that the place clears out. I box up the remainder of the pastries for the men who are protecting us.

Then once we clean up the dining room I go back in the kitchen and pull out the cakes. Since it is a Christmas party I decided to do red, green, blue, and white frosting. One color for each layer. Then I make different designs on each layer. By the time I finish this cake I only have ten minutes before Mathew is supposed to pick me up. So I decided to go simple with this one. The inside layer is white but I put raspberry preserves in there as well. Then I decide the outside is going to be blue with white snowflakes all over it. Once that's done I put it in the freezer with the other one. When I come out of the freezer Mathew and Edith are watching me.

"See I told you she wouldn't hear us till she was done. Any time she does any kind of baking she zones out. Only when she finishes her project does the world come back to her. It's one of the reasons I like her work. She's not easily distracted."

"Yes I see what you mean. Are you ready to go honey?"

"Don't worry I will clean up, besides I need to pull out the stuff so it can proof for the party."

"I already pulled it you just have to put it in the proofer when your ready. After our date tomorrow I will make the candy."

"Sounds good to me. Good night kids I will see you tomorrow."

After that Mathew and I go to my house.
