Chapter 2

Years Later

Quinn Pov

The sound of my alarm woke me up from my sleep. I opened my eyes and yawned. I stood up from my bed stretching my sore back, I scratched my neck going to the bathroom to have my bath. I already prepared what I am going to wear to my bakery the night before so I just did my normal morning routine that consists of just brushing my teeth, bathing and dressing up. I also put small lip gloss on my lips. I left my one bedroom apartment heading to my small bakery. I got to my bakery and started rearranging the stuff while waiting for my only friend Jack to pass by as he normally does.

I was still arranging when the entrance bell rang, signaling someone coming in, It was Jack.

"Hey Quinn" Jack said entering the bakery. I just finished arranging and bringing everything out.

"Good morning Jack, how was your night?" I asked.

"It was great as usual. I dreamt of my beautiful flower" he said. Jack has a crush on a very mysterious girl and every time I ask he says he can't tell me but I know her. He always tells me about her with a dreamy look on his face. He is love sick I tell you.

"Well tell your 'mysterious' lover I said good morning" I said, rearranging the cupcakes. Jack mumbled something under his breath that sounded like good morning, I am not sure what it was so I asked.

"Did you say something?" I asked. He looked up.

"Umm I didn't say anything" he said looking all around. I look at him narrowing my eyes.

"What?" He asked.

"Ya weird" I said. He laughed.

"Everyone is weird to you Quinn, let me help you with that, I am not going to stay for long" he said.

"Oh okay, thank you" I said.

"No problem," he replied. I went to the kitchen side and started preparing the doughnuts. I love cooking, cooking has always been a way for me to relax. I love being in the kitchen, I love serving and making food for people and just making them happy. I finished making the dough, I left it for some time before I started shaping the doughnuts then frying. After a few minutes I finished frying a set of doughnuts. I arranged them in a tray to cool down before I start decorating. In the meantime I fry the remaining doughnuts. After frying all the doughnuts I decorated them and took them outside. Jack and I started attending to the very few customers, who were coming. Jack is someone I met in a restaurant I once worked for and he has been my friend since then. He has been the only family to me. I don't have many friends except him.

"Hey Quinn I gotta bounce" he said, picking his bag.

"You're leaving earlier than usual today," I said, resting on the counter.

"Well there is something I have to attend too, I will call you when I'm done" he said.

"Okay no problem" he said. He came over and gave me a slight hug, I hugged him back and he left the bakery.

5 hours later

It has been 5 hours since I opened and some customers have come, especially the children. I love children. I always give them sweets and candies. The bell rang signaling a new customer.

"Hello!, welcome to Quinn's bakery" I said in a cheery voice. I love my job.

"Hello!" I heard the cutest voice ever. I looked down at my little customer. Oh my God he is so fucking cute with little chubby cheeks and light green eyes.

"Hello pretty boy, what is your name" I said, swooning at his cute little face.

"My daddy said I should not tell a stranger my name" he said. I walk over to him and knee down in his front.

"If I tell you my name will I still be a stranger?" I asked. He shake his head yes.

"What if I give you a candy bar, will I still be a stranger?" I asked. He put his hands under his jaw and started stroking it like he has a beard. His dad must do that a lot.

"No you won't be a stranger you will be my friend!" He said jumping up in happiness. I laughed at his cuteness.

"Well my name is Quinn and I want to be your friend" I said.

"Then you have to give me a candy" he said. I laughed and brought out two candies from my apron and keep it in my two hands. I make sure he is not seeing my hand movement. I brought my two hands forward with my palm closed, candy in each palm.

"Choose only one hand, if there is candy inside the hand you take the candy and get one free, but if there's no candy then pretty boy won't get any candy" I said. He widen his eyes in a cute way. He must be thinking on the one he should choose. He outstretched his finger and went for my left hand, he withdraw his hand shaking his head, his blonde hair shaking with him. After minutes of him thinking he finally went for my left hand. He opened my left hand and there was a candy. His green eyes light in happiness.

"Yay!! I got a candy!" He screamed, happy. I laugh.

"For guessing the hand you get a candy and for being a pretty boy you get another candy" I said bringing out another candy.

"Really! Thank you Quinn!" he yelled, hugging me. I laugh hugging his little body back.

"Now where are your parents" I asked. He couldn't have come here himself right?

"His dad is right here" a deep baritone voice said. I look at the direction of the bakery door I didn't even hear the bell ring. I look at the man, he is fucking hot. His son is the carbon copy of him except the blonde hair. He is very tall and muscular, his hair is perfectly gelled back. His eyes are a deep green colour, this man right here is perfectly made.

"Who are you and what are you doing with my son?"
