“I'll tell you about it, but this is not the right place to do so.” He excused himself, his eyes fixed on the road as he refused to meet Camilla's narrowed gaze.“But you are going to give me all the details I need to know when we are having breakfast, right?”“If you insist.” Allen gulped again. At this rate he will not be needing to drink water as his spit should have been more than enough to keep him hydrated.The atmosphere In the car plunged into icy silence save the soft romantic music that was playing in the background. Fifteen minutes later they were at the diner.The diner door chimed softly as they stepped inside. A wave of warmth washed over them, a comforting blend of sizzling bacon and sweet syrup. The air was thick with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and buttery pancakes. Soft jazz music played in the background, setting a mellow tone.

Dusk had stained the sky, and they were supposedly having their last family dinner. A different one. Unlike every other family dinner, Alessandro had convened this one due to the ill health of the original convener, Salvatore. While they dined, he himself dined in the clinic.Camilla had been nervous about the dinner. She knew the family meeting was never called for a flimsy reason. There must be something of importance that Alessandro had wanted to share to call the meeting. The thought stitched in her mind made her skittish about the meeting.Ruby was somewhat delighted at the invitation to the family dinner. She called it the last supper between the three of them.Alessandro the convener had called the meeting, so they could dot all their I's and cross all their T's before they went their separate ways, but the clinking sound of the dishes filled the air. He seemed to have forgotten his agenda, lost in the creamy and spicy world of mashed potatoes and steak. He was not the only on

Immediately after she collected the key to the shop from Alessandro, she walked to her room.Once inside, she put it in her shoulder bag and picked up her phone from the cabinet in excitement to call Allen. After two rings, Allen picked up the call.“Allen, Alessandro got a new store!” She screeched once, Allen; she could hear shuffles on the other side of the phone.“What!” He gasped.“We are no longer at the former location. We are now in the heart of town,” she announced, and Allen felt his chest grow heavy at the news. He should be the one doing that for her, not Alessandro. He should be the one making her happy. “Wow… Congratulations,” he struggled to keep his voice energetic and even.“I want you to pick me up tomorrow so we can go there together. Can you do that for me?” She asked, sitting on her bed.“Sure, I can. When should we leave?” he asked.“Is six A.M. okay with you?”“Six A.M.!” he intoned.“Yup. You don't know how bad I want to see that place!” She said in a shrill vo

Her eyes scanned the names of the shops in the street and she was shocked when she saw her brand name elegantly signed with lots of sparkly light around it.The facade was colored pink and purple. It highly contrasted with the other storefront signs there.“That must be my shop,” she pointed at it, and she could see the awe that fell on Allen's face when he saw it.Her eyes scanned the street along her store. She could see a flower shop, a wine shop, and a bookstore. Perfect complimentary stores right next to her store. No competition in sight. Well thought out by Alessandro. She hopped out of the car and onto the sidewalk. A lot of people were going to and fro places. There was a large traffic of people. This was a strategic location indeed.Her shop door was a glass door with white panels. There are also white panel glass windows on each side of the door. She unlocked the bakery with her key and walked inside. Allen followed closely behind her with the designer bags in hand.The sp

Alessandro walked into the shop in a Charcoal Gray Suit paired with a burgundy coloured tie. Sleek and modern. Camilla ran to him and threw her slender arms around him in a tight embrace. Alessandro hugged her back stroking her hair and drinking in her scent of moss and cedar.When Camilla released him from her tight embrace, she drew back a little and looked up at him, “thank you very much for the shop. I love it so much. It is such a perfect fit for me. I really appreciate your effort,” Camilla expressed her gratitude and fell into his broad arms again. Allen began to feel hot bile rise up his throat.“You are welcome,” Alessandro told her while stroking her brown silky hair again, not bothering to spare even a glance at Allen whose laser eyes were burning on Alessandro's left hand that was wandering on the small of Camilla's back. It should better not go lower than that, he warned in his mind. A brazen heat of jealousy washed over him and his patience snapped. He cleared his thr

“I'm… I'm Camilla's Friend,” Ruby stammered, “I just came to pick something from my bag,”“You came to pick something from your bag?” Allen eyed her warily and a cold tremor slithered down her back.“What is going on here?” Camilla came into the room.“Nothing much,’ Ruby responded quickly, “I have to go!” she briskly walked inside the bakery.Allen walked in putting the breakfast packs on the table, “Where is she going?” “She wants to use the restroom. Is there any issue?” Camilla asked, walking to the Counter.“I don't know, but there is something odd about her. I don't like her,” Allen said slowly.Camilla looked at the batter and it looked untouched, “If it were someone else I'd say that you were too fast to judge, but she can be cunning just be careful around her.”Allen nodded at her words.“You got the food?” Camilla asked, the pang in her stomach intensifying.“You bet I did.” Allen handed her one of the breakfast packs and she took it to her table and chair.“We should eat i

Ruby lay on the massive bed in her room, drowned in thoughts. Is this really worth it? Did I just destroy my friend's life again? What if I confess what I have done? Would she still forgive me? Questions buzzed in her mind. Guilt gripped her.I have gone too far with this. I can't go back now.Since I started it, I might as well finish it.A knock on her door yanked her out of her grim daze. She checked the door. It was the maid.“Mr Alessandro just came back to the house.” The maid informed her as requested.“Thank you Natalie. One more thing. Just let me know when he is done with his food.”“OK ma” Natalie left.It was time. She got up from her bed and headed for her shower. She undressed and put on the shower.What if Alessandro finds out? God knows he will show no mercy. Should I risk it?She took a bath, tied her towel around herself, and came out. Her phone rang; she sat on the bed and picked it up from the cabinet beside the bed. The number calling wasn't saved on her phone.

“I love you.” Allen's proclaimed beads of sweat forming on his forehead.The proclamation fell like several lead blocks on Camilla's head.The room suddenly became stuffy. The air between them, thick.Her shoulders felt heavy.She felt like running away, but Allen wouldn't exactly appreciate that. He wants an answer immediately, judging by the way he looked at her. What was the use of delaying it? It won't change the response, will it? But she doesn't want to break him. She knows what it feels like to love someone and not to be loved back. It hurts. A lot.She leaned into the table, holding Allen's clammy hands in hers tightly. “I'm grateful that you feel this way towards me. Allen, please forgive me, but I can't.” Immediately after the words left her mouth, she saw Alessandro's shoulders slouch and his face fall. “I'm sorry if I unknowingly led you on, but this is not about you at all. Nothing is wrong with you. You are a great person. You are nice. You are caring. You are everythi

Blood and Buttercream Being Evasive
Barbara yanked the door open with a deep frown on her face. Her narrowed eyes raked over Camilla from head to toe and Camilla swallowed hard. “Who the hell are you?” Barbara screeched.Camilla's breath caught in her throat, “I'm… I'm Camilla,” she stuttered and Barbara's eyes widened, her face growing red in anger. Before Camilla could utter another word, there was a resounding smacking sound and Camilla staggered backwards at the impact of the slap, almost feeling lightheaded.She clutched to her throbbing cheek as she stared at the old woman, her wet eyes glinting in confusion.“Camilla!” Alessandro screamed, jolting past his grandma and holding Camilla who had not quite recovered from the smack.“Why the hell did you do that!” he bellowed, “she had nothing to do with this.”“She has everything to do with this. If not for her you wouldn't be saying no to Chloe!” she yelled before shifting her gaze to Camilla, “Young lady, Let this be the last time I see you with him or else you will
