Chapter 14

I left the mall and went to the Garden Row where the 10 Dove Street Confectionery was located. It was a cafe serving comfort food and delectable baked goodies. What I love about their product was it was all preservative-free.

It was located just across the Seda Hotel where I was working.

The cozy ambiance of the place welcomed me the moment I got in. My eyes were forming into heart shape as I saw different flavors of cakes that were displayed. It was all salivating!

I simply wiped the side of my lips because I felt that I was drooling. Goodness!

This Café was heaven!

I had been craving for a Dream Cake last week. I would definitely try it today!

“I want one can of Dream Cake. The chocolate flavor one and also one Molten Lava please,” I ordered to the service crew. He was smiling at me and he actually looked so cute.

“You can just sit there ma’am. I will bring your cake there,” the crew said. My eyes dropped to his nameplate and I smiled.

“Okay. Thanks, Mars.” I went to one of the tables and sat on one of the chairs. There were only a few customers inside the Café. That was also one I love here. It was not crowded.

After a few minutes, Mars arrived carrying my food.

“One can of Dream Cake Chocolate flavor and Molten Lava,” he said and put it on my table. “Anything else, ma’am?”

“None. Thank you,” I replied with a smile. He smiled back and went back to the counter.

I opened the tin can and saw the chocolate cake inside. I couldn’t wait to devour it. I took my spoon right away and scooped the side of it and ate it.

“Hmmm…” I couldn’t help but close my eyes after tasting it. It was so delicious! You would really feel dreamy while eating this cake. They were all right.

I took another scoop and was about to eat it when suddenly a hand stopped my spoon and moved it sideways.

My eyes widened when I saw Kristoff eat the cake on my spoon.

“Damn! This tasted really good. Now I know why you are even closing your eyes while eating this stuff,” he said and then lick the chocolate that was on the spoon.

“What the hell, Kristoff!” I shouted and I pulled the spoon from him.

The people on the other table turned to our table. I covered my face from embarrassment.

Damn it! This was his fault for eating my cake without my consent!

I glared at Kristoff who was now sitting on the seat across me.

“What are you fucking doing here?” I said in gritted teeth.

“Your mouth, woman,” he replied while his brows furrowed.

“Well this woman has a name.” I saw him smirking and put his hand on the table.

“Belle. Stop cussing,” he said and was about to take my spoon.

“What the hell? This is mine.” I moved my hand with the spoon away from him. “And you have no right to tell me what to do or say.”

“It is not bad to share.”

“Seriously? What are you really doing here? If you are here to piss me off. Don’t. I am not in the mood,” I said, sounding so annoyed and continued to eat my food.

“I followed you.” My eyes flew back to him.

“I’m sorry? Did I hear it right? You followed me?” I chuckled a bit.

“Yeah. I did,” he answered as if it was nothing.

“And why did you follow me?”

“I don’t know. Blame my feet for walking here.” He shrugged off.

“Ugh! Whatever. Suit yourself. If you want to eat, go order your own.” I continued eating again.

“You can choose any cake that you want. It’s on me. You just need to share that cake that you are eating right now to me.”

“Deal,” I accepted without having a second thought. I gave him the spoon that I was using and he took it with his hand while grinning.

Who would say no to his offer? He could eat the whole dream cake that I was eating and I would just let him buy me the same one with an additional cake.

I smiled at him as he started eating my cake. He took a scoop and moved it towards my mouth.

“Open it,” he said. I raised my brows to him and folded my arms on my chest.

“What are you doing?”

“You want another cake right? Now open up and say ahh.” I glared at him and just opened my mouth and ate the cake.

This was all for the cake. I would really order all the flavor displayed. You wait, you dimwit!

“You should stop that. Your girlfriend might see us!” He raised his brow and eyed me.

“Girlfriend? Who told you that I have one?” he said and then took another spoonful of cake and put it in his mouth. He even licked the spoon clean.

I swallowed while looking at him licked it. Fuck this man. I even had my own drool on that spoon. It was like we were having an indirect kiss. Crap!

“Really? I just saw her in the office this morning! And can you please stop licking that!” I glared at him.

“She’s not my girlfriend. And why do you want me to stop licking this?” He raised the spoon in front of me. “ Are you imagining something?” he said and then looked down to my body and then back to my face. He smirked and licked the spoon once more.

So she was not his girlfriend? Then why were they kissing? Tss! A fuck buddy then? Great!

I grabbed the spoon from his hand and pushed the Molten Lava closed to me. I frowned when I saw that it already melted.

I shoot him a deadly stare.

“What?” He chuckled.

“I hate you! Look at my Molten Lava now! This is your fault!”

“Seriously? What did I do?”

“Because of you it’s already melting!”

“That's just it? Then let me buy you a new one,” he said and then stood up and walked towards the counter.

“What’s that thing again?”

“Molten Lava.”

“Right.” He looked at the crew and said, “One Molten Lava for my grumpy secretary.”

Damn him!
