In fact, she'd never even though she'd be working in a bakery. But after being asked to make a cake for her mother's birthday however many years ago after her father forgot to order one, Ellie had discovered she had a passion for it, and quite a talent. It wasn't something many people expected from the athletic blonde, but then again, Ellie liked to think she was full of surprises. She'd now been working at the bakery for a couple of years, and really enjoyed it. It wasn't going to be a job she held for much longer after she was done with college, but it was different, challenging, and more than anything, Ellie loved a challenge.
It was a quiet afternoon for the bakery, so Ellie had taken it upon herself to decorate one of the cakes her co-worker had set to bake. Retrieving it from the oven, with her oven mitts on, of course, she set it down, and began to cover it with a bright yellow. It was a commissioned cake, ordered for some young girl's seventh birthday party, and to be done in the shape of a flower. There wasn't a picture to go with it, which wasn't very helpful, but the father of the girl had provided a basic sketch of what they wanted it to look like, so at least Ellie had something to work off. It was more than what the bakers usually got, considering most people expected them to work miracles and make the cake exactly how they were imagining them to be. Which, ninety percent of the time, didn't happen, and they were left with dissatisfied customers.
Once the cake was covered in yellow, Ellie left it to harden for a couple of minutes, trying to work out how she was going to do the petals. She wished she had a stencil of some kind, to get it the right shape, and spotting some cardboard nearby, she began to make some. It was while she was looking for scissors that the doorbell rung out, announcing the arrival of a customer. "Norah! Customer." Ellie called, expecting her co-worker to go out front and serve whoever was waiting. But when there was no reply for several seconds, Elle heaved a sigh, and took it upon herself to check on the customer. Striding out the front, Ellie's expression brightened when she saw it was Michael Turner, one of the few customer's she genuinely enjoyed catching up with when he came into the shop. "Hey, Mike." she greeted him, leaning on the counter. "How's it going?"

[style=background-image: url('http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5iyx8Rp961qi3foyo2_500.png'); width: 400px; height: 250px;] michael has been craving for sweets for the past couple days now, but been feeling little lazy to go to the bakery. today was different. michael decided to get up from the couch and get out of the house for some fresh air, maybe stop by the bakery during his walk around town. grabbing a sweater from the closet and walked out of the apartment, decided to take a nice walk rather than taking the car. today he wanted to go green and do something different than his normal routines. so, after closing the door behind him, he slide both hands inside each pocket from his sweater and walked over toward the bakery since it was about twenty minutes away but it's a good exercise for him. michael had always had a sweet tooth since he was about eight years old and as years had past by, it has gotten little worse. going to the bakery at least four or five times a day before work, during his lunch break, or on a day when he's not working. luckily, he exercises after he's done eating two cupcakes as he's still trying to stay in shape. actually, he's not all his fault why his sweet tooth has gotten worse over the last couple years. it's because of a certain someone who works at the bakery who makes delicious desserts that makes him continue going to the store for more. can't blame the guy for caring and enjoying the girl's tasteful desserts. besides, it gives him an excuse to see her once he arrived to the bakery store, he took a hand out from the pocket and open the door as the bell above it rang. closing it by releasing his grip from the handle and slowly over toward the counter, looking through the glass windows to see if he could order the usual or if he should try something new. while thinking about what to get, he heard a familiar voice calling his name which caused him to look up at the girl with a little grin. hey, elle. returning the favor, walking little closer toward the counter. ehh, nothing much. just wanted to come by and buy some of your delicious treats. you know, it's your fault that my sweet tooth has gotten worse. the boy grinned, leaning both arms against the glass window next to the counter. that and to see you of course. what about you? how's work going? michael asked, trying to stir up a little friendly conversation. michael enjoys coming here as this is one of his favorite places to hang out and keep the girl company whenever she's not too busy serving the customers.
this post is for ellie, who is played by indie. he's currently wearing this[/color]. before i leave, i would like to say lol it's fine, it's better than mine. :3. [/div][/style][/center]

She befriended the bakery's regulars with ease, but, of course, like with all things, Ellie had favorites. And one of them happened to be the blonde young man who had just wandered in. As her eyes met his, she couldn't stop her grin from widening just at the sight of him. Elle hadn't seen him for a few days, but no doubt he was enjoying the gorgeous summer weather, or spending time with friends and family. A slight blush rose in her cheeks at the compliment, and a little laugh escaped her lips as Michael accused her of being the reason he ate so much sweet food. "You can't blame me for that. I don't bake everything here, you know." she stated in her defense, but from the smile on her face, it was clear to see that she was joking. On the inside, she was bursting with pride that he liked at least some of the things she made for the store. And then her blush only deepened when Michael added he came in to see her. "Well, it's good to see you too. Been a few days." she nodded absentmindedly, before realizing he had asked her about work. "We're a bit slow, actually. I don't think many people are in town today. Probably down at the lake, or something." With a shrug, Elle flashed him another smile. In truth, she was a little envious of everyone who was out enjoying the sunshine, since if she wasn't working, that was where Elle would be. "So what can I get you, hm?"

[style=background-image: url('http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5iyx8Rp961qi3foyo2_500.png'); width: 400px; height: 250px;] michael missed coming here to the bakery and missed seeing ellie. every time he comes to visit, he would stir up a nice conversation with the girl and then order what he wants and afterwards talk some more until she tells him to leave or whenever the bakery closes. he enjoys keeping her company. while looking at the girl, he couldn't help but smile bigger when he notice her cheeks changing colors as he enjoys seeing her reactions toward his compliments. hmm, that's true. all right, you'll take half the blame. mike teased, letting out a small laugh. really? has it? somehow it felt longer than a few days. looking around the bakery and notice not many people were here today, slowly nodding his head as he was agreeing with the little comment that came out from her mouth. looking over at ellie as he couldn't help but return the favor by flashing her a little smile. he couldn't help but feel little bad for her that she's here stuck at work while everyone else is having the time of their lives doing who knows what. well, if you want.. we could go to the lake. i mean, we could go whenever you get off work or you could give yourself the rest of the day off and we could go now? the boy suggested, tilting his head a bit while focusing his attention on her. michael wants her to have the time of her life and have fun rather than seeing her stand behind the counter all day, especially if work is going slow today. that's what he's there for to rescue her from work or a day from boredom and go out to do something fun. once he looked into those ocean blue eyes, he took a step back and stared at the desserts that was on display behind the window from the counter. there was so many delicious treats that he had a hard time choosing one as he wanted to take the all thing. every time he comes here, he felt like a five-year-old boy who didn't know what he wanted. gently biting his lower lip when he finally decided on what to get. i'll have two vanilla bean cupcake with sprinkles and one lemon cupcake. the boy said, taking his wallet out from the back pocket of his jeans and getting the money ready while waiting to hear the total.

She felt stupid, like she was grinning too much, laughing too much, but some other part of her didn't care. She let out another laugh as Michael said she'd still take half the blame, shaking her head slightly. "I suppose I can live with that." She nodded in response to his next question, wondering if it was weird that she knew how long it had been since she had last seen him, but quickly shrugging it off. After all, he was a regular, and Ellie was expected to keep track of these things. It was all part of good customer servicing, right? She was caught up in her slight worrying when Michael suggested they head down to the lake. "I'd like that." she said honestly, nodding her head again. "We could go now. After you get your food, of course. And I'll have to ask Norah." She explained, gesturing towards the back so Michael understood that Norah was her co-worker. She waited patiently for Michael to make his decision, her eyes never leaving him until he voice aloud what he wanted to eat. "Great." she said, readying the paper bags to put his food in. Opening the cabinet, she retrieved the cupcakes Michael had asked for and placed them on the counter. Seeing that he was reaching for his wallet, Ellie shook her head. "Don't worry about it. It's on the house." she said with a smile, handing him the bags. When he took them, she dusted her hands on the white apron she wore. "I'll just go talk to Norah to see if I can have the afternoon off. Wait here for me?" Giving him one last glance, Ellie made her way to the back, where she found Norah making a coffee. It didn't take long to convince her to let Ellie go for the afternoon, and before she knew it, Ellie had hung up her apron, grabbed her bag, and was back out the front. "Alright, I'm ready." she said as she walked towards him. "Let's go."

[style=background-image: url('http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5iyx8Rp961qi3foyo2_500.png'); width: 400px; height: 250px;] a small laugh escaped between his lips, playing shaking his head. michael sure did missed ellie and her dorky self. that's something he enjoys seeing, especially since she isn't afraid to show her true self to the blonde boy. giving the girl a little friendly smile as he was happy to hear that she agreed to them going to the lake. inside his mind, he was probably thinking she would make some excuse and say no, but hearing yes coming out from ellie's mouth clearly made his day. all right then. sounds good. the boy simply said, after hearing the girl's answer. just as the boy was getting ready to hear the total for his three cupcakes that he ordered, he looked up at ellie after hearing her not to worry about paying. normally, he would've said no and pay for the treats which led to them having little teasing argument about it which ellie usually wins, but today michael didn't had the energy to argue about him wanting to pay. so, he just gave the girl a little grin as he put the money that he was holding back inside his wallet and sliding it back to his back pocket with one hand as the free one reached for the little white bag that contain his treats. nodding his head when ellie told him to wait for her, looking around the store while watching her walking toward the back through the corner of his blue eyes. opening the little bag as he looked to see if he got the treats that he order, making sure they were there to keep him busy while waiting for ellie. then, he notice the girl coming out from the back as she was telling him to let's go. michael just looked at her with a smile once more as he begins to walk beside her, walking out from the store and making their way toward the lake.
