"Hurry up, Winter. Mrs Willow will be here soon," Pidge said mopping the floor rapidly.
Just then the door of the bakery pushed open and two figures stepped in.Pidge was looking at the floor mopping the spilt coffee which a child has thrown by accident.Her eyes got fixed on the shoes of the people...one was wearing simple black court shoes...she was probably a female.Another figure was wearing neatly pointed dark brown shoes, his feet were larger than the woman.Looking up she was stunned to see the man and a woman."Hello everyone," his voice sweet and a smile touched his lips."Girls, this is my son...Dylan Maxwell," Mrs Willow simply announced.Winter, Rosina, Lia along with Pidge were in a trance...as if they all were caught redhanded."Her son?""She spent a night with the owner's son.""Pidge..." the girls said together in a mumble...staring at their best friend who was just glued in her place."Hello," Dylan walked forward for a handshake and Pidge could only look him in the eyes.After a moment of silence, she cleared her throat and said, "Hello, sir."Her expressions were impassive, tone professional.He thought she might be happy to see him but it was the total opposite of what he thought.He then, one by one, met the girls and before they could introduce themselves to him he spoke, "Hi, Winter...right?"And Winter nodded...he then met Lia and Rosina taking their names correctly.He hasn't met them before but knew their names with their personalities.Mrs Willow was enjoying the coffee with her son, Pidge made for them.Seeing Pidge excusing herself to the kitchen, Dylan spoke, "Mother...I haven't seen the kitchen. I am curious. I'll be back taking a look,"His mother nodded and he stood up to walk away.In the kitchen, Pidge was just cleaning the counter when she felt a presence."Pidge..." a familiar voice lingered in her ear and she paused and turned around.Her face was expressionless..."Yes, sir. Do you want something?" she asked in a professional way.This made him hurt a little before speaking he licked his lips and said, "Don't talk to me in this way, Pidge."She kept quiet when he continued, "Look, I am not angry at you for lying to me...please do the same with me.""Sir, you..." before she could complete her sentence he pulled her close and pressed his lips against hers.She didn't even push him back but kissed him.He pulled back and touched his nose with hers..."I never felt this real with anyone else but you...""Pidge, I think I am in love with you and I am in no denial..."She was astonished...just staring in his beautiful brown eyes which were dilated by now."Dylan...you..." she was lost with words when he added, "Yes, Pidge. For what we had last night was real. It felt good to me. I know I made a mistake by not telling you that this bakery belongs to my stepmother and...""Stepmother?" she asked confused."Mrs Willow is my stepmother...years ago my father married to her and she became my second mother.""As I was in a growing age she didn't plan for having any kids but focused on raising me...she is a good mother..."Hearing this a ghost of a smile touched her lips. This man was a strong one...a warrior, a fighter."Dylan! Come on, son. We have to go," the loud voice of Mrs Willow came across the kitchen and he said, "Will you forgive me, Pidge?""Will you forgive me for lying to you?" she asked back and he gave a certain nod.Walking back outside he insisted on spending more time on the cosy bakery."Smells good... What's cooking?" he inhaled sharply and asked directly to Pidge."I baked peanut butter cookies and cinnamon rolls," Pidge answered politely."Mmm...bring it to me," he licked his lips in excitement and she could only gawk at it.When bringing the things he asked for, she offered him and he held to touch the plate but put his hand on hers and wasn't leaving it.With wide eyes, she gestured him towards his stepmother and he couldn't care less.Struggling to withdraw her hand from his, she turned to walk back.Time to time, he was giving her grins which made her blush.Sometimes a wink when his mother wasn't looking and other times he blew a kiss.She was astonished to see him teasing her like this.The day was finally over and Dylan along with Mrs Willow has left a long time ago.Pidge's mood was pleasant all day...she has been thinking about Dylan and his words...their kiss."Girl, you don't tell me that he is in love with you..." Winter was stunned."Maybe he was exaggerating," Rosina said impassively."You can't trust him easily..." were the words of Lia.They were right...she could not...after all he was just a stranger to her.Considering they met a week before...maybe three days ago?What if he's just after sex and not really in love with her?Pidge was confused, her mind racing in so many indifferent thoughts.She reached her house and after a very tiring day, she just jumped on her bed.She decided to scroll down her Instagram feed.Rock came through her bed and she was frightened all of a sudden."What is this?" she talked to herself clutching the duvet in her hand.Stepping out of the bed she walked towards the window and saw Dylan waving at her.The priceless smile on his face made her happy after all."What are you doing here?" she asked opening the window as she crouched down and literally whispering."I came to see you..." was his reply."But we met in the morning...Dylan," she answered unaware."Yea, so what?" he shrugged his shoulders and showed her a bunch of fresh red roses he brought just for her."See, I brought flowers for you.""Pretending to be a gentleman, I see," she made an impressing face."I don't have to pretend..." he answered and threw the flowers upwards as she quickly caught it.Inhaling the magnificent scent of the red roses her heart melted instantly.Another moment and he climbed up the pillar towards her window.Dylan jumped in when she was just gawking at him."Boy, what are you?" she made an awkward face and he just chuckled lightly."Never seen you using that tone," he commented."Was that rude?" she asked hesitantly and he just clicked his tongue answering, "Not at all.""I like people who speak their mind," he added."Nice room," he whistled looking around.The room Pidge was living in was a tiny room of girl with a single bed, small vanity with an old two doors cupboard.The paint was offwhite in colour and there was a door on the left for the washroom."What are you doing here at this time of an hour?" she asked putting the red roses on the vase.Turning to him she just realised that he was too close when she bumped into him.Holding her waist and pulling her closer, he tucked the strand of her hair behind her ear."Baby, I can't sleep without you..." his whispers were low and arousing.She blushed and he lifted her chin to meet her eyes and spoke, "Is this possible if I spend the night with you?" She didn't say anything when an idea popped up his mind and he immediately blurted out, "Come with me.""Where?" she asked as he held her hand and was about to twist the doorknob when the voice of an old lady came through the door who was pushing the door.Pidge with wide eyes quickly locked the door, silently and hushed him up."Pidge? Pidge? Are you in there? What is that noise?" the old lady asked knocking the door."Yea...yea. It's me...I'm here, Ms Green." The answer Pidge gave was
Mrs Willow never mixed business with family but when her stepson insisted she couldn't deny.Christmas was near...and as the city had snow everywhere it was a great time to cherish the Christmas spirit.People roamed around with their children and buying gifts for their loved ones.The decorated reindeers...fake and real were standstill in the streets.The fake Santa was waving the little kids...giving candies to them.At night, the decorated streets with Christmas lights enhanced the view. It was so perfect for Pidge...she was excited.The bells rang in a peal. The little elves distributing candy canes to the children.Pidge and her friends, Winter, Rosina and Lia were helping her with all the bakery items Mrs Willow has asked them to make."I can't believe he just invited me like this..." Pidge has this unusual pretty smile on her face."I think the guy is interested..." Lia the clever one uttered."You think?""I
"Pidge? Pidge?" Mrs Willow walked by, her hands flatten in the air as she looked around trying to find one specific figure."Where is Pidge?" she asked the rest of the three girls who were busy eating."Oh, Mrs Willow...Pidge had an emergency," Winter blurted out.Rosina and Lia eyed her sternly."What emergency?" Mrs Willow asked unaware."She...she..." Rosina had her mouth stuffed with cookies when she could not speak properly."The old lady she lives with called her in an emergency as she thinks that the burglar is there to rob the house.""What?" Rosina and Winter along with Mrs Willow said together."Yea didn't she told you guys?" Lia eyed them as if to say to agree with her and both of the girls quickly gave a nod."Let me call the police..." as soon as Mrs Willow turned to speak, Winter hushed her up by saying, "Oh, no...Mrs Willow. There is nothing she can't handle. If she will need anything she will call us or you...""But t
"So...when are you going to meet my mother?" he asked brushing his hand on hers.She shifted her hand and spoke, "I know your mother, already.""I mean...considering you, my fiance...you should meet her as her future daughter-in-law.""Dylan...I..." Dylan could see the hesitance in her voice.She was somewhat nervous."Don't worry... She won't reject you."His words somehow made her confident as she gave a nod."But not now...I'm planning to disclose this after New Year's eve...what say?" he asked and she agreed to it.They spent the night under the cold night wearing warm clothes and the snow slowly falls under the starry night making the view so beautiful.It was a romantic moment for both of them."Dylan...promise me this is forever..." she said with her eyes slightly twinkling."I promise you, Pidge. This is forever..." he gave a nod tightening his grip on her hand.Dylan gently kept her close to his body, they cuddling
Sighing in relief, Pidge said, "I'm gonna call you later..." The moment she declined the line, she turned to open the locked car.Winter had given her the bobby pin and taught her how to open the lock using the pin.She tried many times as she inserted the pin into the lock of the car but failed.Dialling the number of Winter she waited for her to answer."Hello, Winter?" "How do I open the lock?" she asked in whispered tones.She did as per Winter guided her...Finally, the lock of the car was open.Pidge sneaked in the car and tried to find the ring under the seats. When she kept on looking crouching down in the car, her fingers roaming around under the seat of the car.She didn't found the ring but felt heartbroken.What is it like to know that the person you love with all your heart gives you a very special thing and you being the careless one, lost it?Anxiety took over her heart when a tear rolled down her che
Dylan didn't get the chance to insert himself into her. They had oral.He eased her and she eased him.It was that moment she was gagged with his seven inches as he was pushing more and more into her mouth.Finally, they collapsed on the bed, heavy breathing."I love you..." he kissed her forehead and pulled her closer to him."Dylan...I..." she was being interrupted by him asking, "What were you doing here, by the way?""I was here to find the...""Ring?" he simply asked."How do you know?" she asked propping herself to a sitting position with her elbow."Do you really think I would not know about you being around the streets and sneaking into my home to find the ring?"Pidge bites her lower lip in hesitance. A hint of regret filled her beautiful face."Don't you worry...my darling. I have your ring," he reached out to open the nightstand and took out the ring showing it to her.The sparkling diamond shone in the dar
Dylan reached to the bakery...his fashion sense was her favourite.The way he dressed as if he was some sort of a magazine model.No doubt the man was rich and handsome.Any girl could drool over him...guess she was one lucky brat.Pidge walked to him as she kissed him. The three girls smiled at their soft romance."How are you, baby?" he asked softly and she answered, "Fine. You?""Perfect...I had the perfect last night..." his whispers were low."Okay, love birds. Enough with the whispering," Winter said in a taunting tone."What's with the long face, Winter?" Dylan asked walking forward, his hand grabbing the waist of his girlfriend."Oh, it's too much Winter..." Rosina interrupted."And yet she is heated up..." Lia completed the sentence.Winter pursed her lips in a thin line speaking up, "You can have all the romance in the world...she might not be able to meet you in a few days..."Dylan narrowed his dark eyebro
After a while remaining quiet, the old lady stood up and held her clutch as she started walking."Come on, Dylan..." she only said this and the stepson instantly followed her leaving his fiance behind.All the way to the house, she remained silent. He also, thinking of uttering a word but he couldn't.Driving to his house, he parked the car outside and stopped the engine.His mother opened the door and stepped out, slamming the door gently before walking in.Sighing Dylan hit his hand abruptly to the steering wheel.He was so sure that his stepmother would disapprove of the girl.The silence on her face said it all.Dylan had just stepped in the house when he made his way to the stairs.Suddenly his mother called out, "Dylan..."He paused and turned to walk to the living room as he just kept on standing."Go to your room and pack your bags."As he parted his lips to speak she raised her hand to make him quiet."That's
