Tease Chocolates Novels & Stories

Raising my eyebrows, I ask in a challenge, "But you'd swipe right on Tinder?" "Now that didn't exactly turn out in my favor, did it?" I chuckle. "No. No, it did not." Our server places Chloe's mug of hot water along with a container of different flavors of tea in front of her and a mug of coffee in front of me along with a small pitcher of creamer. "I have the cheesecake and brownie bites for you. The Cookie and fritters will be out shortly." "Sounds good. Thank you."

I answer him anyway, "an effort to lose weight. You know, it increases our metabolism so... yeah. Green tea. Been a while." He nods with a smile still attached to his face, "We just launched a green tea chocolate bar late last year, maybe I'll drop some to you? Lose weight while indulging your favorite snack?" "Ohhh you mean the new Gunn chocolate bar with the green wrapper? With that cute little panda on the wrapper? Yeah I tried it already! It's good, it's really good!" Okay maybe I got a little bit excited so I tone it down, "It's... good." "Glad you liked it," he seems pleased with my enthusiasm that I don't feel that bad anymore to be too excited about it.

It was wrapped in a green decorative paper and it said mint flavor. She opened the two and threw them into her mouth. It was like lemon gums but mint flavor and it didn’t finish as the lemon gums did. It was everlasting but not the sweetness. She felt it fade away slowly. “What is it?” Kale asked chewing it. “It’s called chewing gum,” Louisa answered. Kale was beginning to like Louisa. She might be the craziest looking one among them but she seemed pretty nice. “Back to where we were,” Tiana said throwing a blade towards Josh’s direction.

Mrs Chaya opened the box, which was with her all the time, and placed it in front of Avni. "Chocogulla( An Indian sweet consisting of a ball of curd cheese cooked in chocolate syrup)" squealed Saaransh, Anubhav and Shanaya at the same time. "It's Anubhav's favourite, Badi Maa," blushing hard, Avni spoke, stealing glances with Anubhav. "Yes, I know. In fact, he was the one who suggested to me as I was confused about what to make" smiling at Anubhav, Chaya made Avni eat it and wished her once again.

He walked around the counter and pointed to the chocolates just beyond the glass. "Most people like the peppermint sticks here, but I'm a sucker for those right there." He tapped on the glass and smiled over at her, Kari returning the expression. "What are they exactly?" "They're called turtles. They're found mostly in the South, but we love them here, too. Carmel and pecans rolled together and dipped in milk chocolate." The old man made a sound of appreciation and touched his stomach. "Helps me keep my figure for the kids around the holidays."

"Uh, our friend would have given it to me ..." I turned to the man he was carrying. The boy looks very boyish. Tall, lean and angelic. Enter the standards of being handsome for me. But do we need more back up? "Hi, Audrey. I'm Tyler ..." he said obviously trying not to stutter. He handed me a brown chocolate box that I immediately recognized the brand. DeLafee of Switzerland. My eyebrows rose. Not worse than when someone last gave it to me. Give me a Ferrero Rocher! That's cheap!

“No, I’ll take a large box of chocolates as well.” The clerk gives a nod and reaches for a dark brown box. “The large box holds twelve pieces and we offer a variety of twenty-four. Which ones would you like?” Something to concentrate on. Good. I am beginning to feel more like myself. I look at the display case and the assortment of chocolates. The various shapes, the tiny decorations on each of them. “Doesn’t matter.” The clerk reaches for a dark square. “No, not that one,” I say. “The one in the shape of a leaf.” Eve will like that one. It is intriguing with all the little lines carved in it.

Missy held out the paper and Caelum takes it from her, skimming through them. “The proposal includes four of the new products: exploding chocolate bombs, diamond nougat lockets, color changing crystal pops and treasure buttercups, Sora-sama.” “Insisting on the crystal pops, again?” “70% of the kids were amazed at the color changing property, sama .”

Even Jo seemed satisfied as she plopped down. “I only got you one.” Glaring at the presents on the table, he didn’t seem to care. “Open this one first.” It was a little blue Tiffany Co. bag. “Cade!” Pulling out the long box, I looked at it before opening it. “You said you wanted a tennis bracelet.” It dawned on me as I looked at the others. “You didn’t! It was a joke!” “Shut up.” Cade took the bracelet. “These are stackable tennis bracelets. Maddox can keep adding to your collection.” This one was diamond shaped stones that touched at the long points with a silver band.

“Come in before I start chewing through wires.” She entered and set the tray down on the low table beside my desk. On it were four small pieces of chocolate, neatly labeled with mini flags stuck in each square. “I know it’s technically Friday, but I couldn’t wait. New blend. Maybe a new flagship product, if it passes your grumpy standards.” I reached for the first one—labeled “C3.” I bit into it slowly. Let the flavor unfold. Rich Tanzanian cocoa, mid-notes of elderflower, just a trace of almond to deepen the finish.
