Chapter 1 - The beginning.....

I entered in a bakery shop with groceries in my hand. I saw there was no one on the counter at the seller end and a lady is waiting there to give her order. she is looking by the face.

I went there in a hurry and took the order of the lady and also apologies her for a delay. Thank she was a polite lady and didn't show any tantrum.

I went in the kitchen area with the anger and saw a boy surrounding by the girls. 

 "Jack, what are you doing? Customers are waiting on the counter, and you are chattering here with the girls," I yelled on him.

Jack frightened. He said, " I apologise, I am going now."

I gave him a angry look. he ran from there.

I also scolded those girls and then got busy in my work.

I am Rose Smith, 22 years old, owner of this bakery shop . When I was 3 years old my mom started this bakery. This is not only the bakery shop, but this place is also my emotion. There are many childhood memories in this place. After school, I often come here to help my mum, and also to eat my favourite raspberry cheesecake. After my mum death one year ago, I started to run this place. everyone working here also know the importance of this bakery in my life. They are not only my colleague, but they are also like a family to me.

I was making the dough for the cookie. I heared my name. I look behind there was Jack.

I asked, 'What's the matter?'

He showed me his watch. I got it, what he wanted to say. 

I replied, " You go first, I will lock the shop after completing my work."

Jack knows that I will not leave my work in middle. So, He left.

I was alone at the shop. At 11 o'clock, I finished my work. I was going to lock the shop but suddenly someone entered.

I saw him with a surprise in my eyes.

He came to me and said, " Are you the owner of this shop." 

I said, yeah. 

He said, " Is there any cake left?

Actually, it's my mum's birthday tomorrow and we are throwing a party at midnight. But her cake fell down because of my 5 years old niece. Now we have no cake and the party has started and all shops are also closed. Can you please help me."

I replied, " I am so sorry, but there is no cake left."

 He got upset. I looked at his face, he was handsome. He has blue eyes with golden hair. He must be around 28 years old. After looking at his upset face, I replied, " I can bake a cake for you."

After listening this , his eyes lit up.

He looked at me with some hope.

He asked, " Can you?" 

I replied with a smile, " Yeah, it's my work."

He nodded his head in the approval.

I started baking the cake. he was sitting outside on a bench. After some while, I noticed him coming toward me. while standing on the door, he asked, "Can I stay here to give you company."

I wanted to say No. As I don't like any type of disturbances during my. But instead of saying NO, I replied, yeah.

He was gazing me. Then he asked, " Before a middle-aged women worked here."

I replied, " Yeah, That's my mum."

He again asked, " Where is she? She knows me as I always come here to eat the raspberry cheesecake. 

I replied with a shock, " So you are the one who always ate my favourite portion of the cake before me."

He grinned.

After remembering this, I want to beat him as only a few people loves the raspberry cheesecake, my mum makes only one cake. due to my tuitions , I got always late and end up with the leftover part of the cake.

He again asked, "Where is She." 

I replied with a sorrow voice, " In the heaven."

He got shocked after listening this. He said, " I apologise."

I replied, " it's okay."

Almost in half an hour, the cake was ready.

I packed the cake and wrote a happy birthday note.

I gave him the cake. He asked me to join the party. I refused. He insisted. I replied," I don't know your name even, how can I go with you."

He lift his hand toward me for the handshake and said, " Hello, Miss beautiful. I am Nicole Jonas. You can also call me Nick."

I shake the hand. He said, " now you know my name. will you please join the party?"

I wanted to say No again but I ended up with saying Yes.

I asked for some time to change the dress as I have my many dresses in this bakery also for the emergency use. 

I got dressed in just 10 minutes.

When I reached toward him, I noticed he was staring at me.

I moved my hand in front of his eyes which helps him return in his senses.

He took my one hand in his hand kissed upon it. He said," You are looking Amazing, Rose."

I was stunned. I asked, " How do you know my name."

He smiled and pointed toward my photograph on which my name was written.

Honestly, I got impressed. I left with him after locking my shop.
