"It's done like this. See? Now mix the cream with all your strength so it doesn't fall into a liquid again. Make sure to add some sugar as well, this merengue gotta be really sweet!" I said.
"Ahh, like this?" Mark was trying his best to mix the merengue for the lemon pie, but he was constantly doing it wrong.
It always felt like he was afraid of using too much strength for some reason.
"Don't be so shy, use your strength. Come on!"
"A-Alright, alright!"
Mark began mixing faster and faster. The cream started rising and rising as I helped him adding powder sugar in small bits, slowly yet steadily, the merengue was done.
I took a little scoop using my finger and tasted it, it was really sweet.
"Here." I said playfully, touching his nose and leaving some merengue over it.
"Ahhh, you…!" Mark quickly did the same with me.
Without realizing it, the two of us began playing around and laughing like children. And we ended covered in merengue too… Ah, this is embarrassing.
