Chapter 7 Cho-co-late

Alana's POV

And we all make choices.

Every day we make a new choice. Good or bad.

Choices that determine what tomorrow might be like.

Choose carefully.

Icing the cake, I carefully finish the flowered dot and smiled at my progress.

"Wedding cake done." I murmur to myself.

What?

Just because I make pastries doesn't mean I can't help my customers a little.

"Ms. Winters?"

"Trina."

"A gentleman by the name of Aiden is here to see you." A smile graces my lips and I’m soon on my heel.

"Send him to my office. I'll be right there." I take off my apron and walk to the sink washing my hand.

Upon entering my office I find Aiden sitting on my desk.

"Hi, there sunflower." He smiles and stands. He grabs my hand and pulls me into a hug.

I stiffen at first because it was unexpected. I relax soon enough and embrace his warmth. We pull apart and I clasp both hands in front of me staring at him.

"How about a second date?" He asks and he actually looks nervous.
