SUGAR ADDICTION:Fur-Ever yours

Chapter2

'B*TCH BETTER HAVE MY MONEY!" I woke up with a jolt when I heard my ringtone, I looked around dazed before plucking my phone from my night stand. I didn’t bother looking at the caller ID and just swiped right picking up the call. "Hello?"

"They said yes to the key lime cake!" Lolo's excited voice sounds on the other end of the phone. "Ok." I said ending the call and going back to sleep. I fell back on my bed preparing to sleep again when what she said clicks in my head. Hold on! I sat up straight immediately and picked up my phone from my night stand, the light from my screen almost blinds me, I winced and then scrolled through my contacts. I found Lolo and called her back, she picked up on the first ring. "Hey!" She said sounding very much awake. "Hi." I respond grogilly. "What did you say about the cake?" I questioned .

"They said yes to your key lime cake, they also want you to bake and decorate birthday boy's birthday cake." Layla spills. I was fully awake and alert by the time she was done. "They said yes?" I questioned again still unsure.

"Yes Layla they said yes."

"Oh my God! That's wonderful news. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"Now get some beauty sleep and be at the bakery early tomorrow, so you can start prepping, baking and decorating tomorrow. We have just two days to get everything ready." She said.

"I'll be there at the c***k of dawn!" I said very excited. She laughs and then we wished each other good night before she hung up. I layed in bed unable to fall back asleep because I was too excited, I was thinking of the cake and how I'm going to design it. What kind of cake do you make for a guy who is clocking twenty? How about a life size cake of the celebrant? I've only gotten a glimpse of the alpha's son once or twice and that's not enough to design a life size cake of him. Soon enough I drifted off to sleep with the thoughts of a black and gold marble cake.

For the first time in my entire eighteen years of living I wake up before my alarm. I was excited and pumped like I've already downed two cups of coffee. Is this how morning people feel? It feels great! I wished I could feel like this everyday but I knew that once the excitement from this project dies down I'd go back to being grumpy in the mornings. I am definitely not a morning person, I needed to start mapping out the cake. I thought I'll leave it all till I get to the bakery later. I immediately came down from my bed my bunkmate stirs in her sleep. God bless her for taking the up bunk, I sliped on some flip flops and pad to the bathroom to have a quick shower. I reached for the door but someone was already inside, this is the only problem I had with boarding houses. There were only two bathrooms, one for the females and the other for the males. I knocked on the door to let the person in there know there's someone waiting outside. There was no response. I knock again and again and there was still no response. Ugh! I don't have a choice, I'll have to make use of the guy's bathroom. I looked left and right and saw no one in the hall way, I immediately ran for it pushing the door and it opens right up.

I looked left and right again and still saw no one, I ducked inside and locked the door. I immediately stripped down my clothes and proceeded to have a really quick shower. I wrapped myself in my towel and grabbed my shower bag and the clothes I stripped off. unlocked the door and pulled it open just as someone pushes it open. I come face to face with a n***d chest, my eyes widen and my eyes trailed up to a face. The most vivid green eyes I have ever seen stares down at me in shock as well. We are mirroring each other's look. My eyes rove his entire face, he has curly jet black hair that’s falling over his eyes. He needs a haircut I observed! He had full pink lips and his jaw could cut iron, he had a bit of stubble and he had a perfectly straight nose. He looked perfect! And familiar? I'm sure I would remember a face like that if I've met him. My eyes involuntarily moved down to his chest and oh goddess! His broad chest and toned abs need to be put in a museum for the sake of the female population. He smelled full on heavenly, he smelled better than vanilla. I was full on ogling him and I was trying to stop myself from standing here like a weirdo. The grip I had on my stuff loosened and they fell to the ground, I gasped in shock and tried to go for them but my towel decides to join the pile instead.

My eyes widen and I stared up to notice his eyes had widened as well, he immediately turned around his cheeks dusting with pink. I immediately bent down and picked up my towel hastily securing it to my chest, I grabbed my pile of clothes from the ground with my shower bag. I pushed past him and made a run for my room before I embarrassed myself further.

"Wait!" He yelled but I didn’t wait. "Stop!" He yelled again but I didn’t, I made it back to my room and slamed the door closed.rest my back against the door my face heating up extremely.

"Layla? Are you alright?" My roommate Sarah asked.

"Huh?" I stared at her in shock.

"I asked if you were alright, you're red in the face." She said looking me up and down.

I reached a hand to touch my face. "it's nothing!" I answered.

"You sure?" She asked raising a brow at me.

"Yep!" I said answering hastily. I pushed from the door and dropped my stuff on the bed. Sarah looked at me wearily before laying back down and picking up her phone. As I was trying to get dressed my wolf begins to whine inside of me. "Mate!" She whines.

"Girl! Same here!" I said back to her. The moon goddess hasn't blessed me enough to allow me find my mate. It's not like I've been actively looking for him. I mean where is the time to when I'm too busy trying to survive. I got dressed hurriedly and my wolf continued whining.

"Girl! You need to calm down we have better things to worry about than us not finding our mate… I said to myself , things like?, I don't know! The cake we're making for the alpha's son." I said to her. She growls at me and I just blocked her out, grabbing my stuff and leaving. Sarah's voice stopped me halfway out of the door.

"Bring me a doughnut!" She yelled partially sitting up.

"Sure thing!" I yelled back closing the door.

**************************************************************************************************

I got to the bakery and pushed the door and it opened up, Chris and Lolo are here as well. I stood by the door and took a deep inhale of the bakery. The smell of vanilla and sugar and all the pastries baking hit my nose and I took my fill. But it does nothing to soothe me anymore, it still can't compare with the smell of rain and pine cones that I smelled this morning. I can't believe I'm letting a guy who I don't even know his name mess with my head like this. I frowned and shook off whatever it is that I was feeling.

"Good morning Layla!" Chris greeted enthusiastically.

"Good morning Chris!" I greeted back just as enthusiastic.

"You look splendid this morning, what's the secret?" He asked putting on display freshly baked muffins.

"The smell of vanilla!" I said trying my possible best to grin from ear to ear.

He simply laughed . "You say that every morning! Don't you get tired of the smell?" He questions focusing on the task at hand but raising an eyebrow in question.

"Noo! Do you?" I questioned..

"Never." He said giving me a toothy grin. This is our routine every morning, he asks the same questions and I gave the same answers. Lolo came out and gave her mate a peck on the lips, I stared at them feeling a little bit sad. I don't even know why I'm feeling this way!

"Are you alright Layla?" Lolo asked completely pulling away from Chris and looking at me with concern written all over her face.

"Yeah! I'm good." I responded giving her a wide smile.

"You just don't seem as bright!" She said frowning at me.

I simply laughed and waved it off. "I was too excited to sleep that's all." I said moving from my spot at the door and walking to the kitchen. I dumped my stuff where I usually dump it, from the corner of my eye I saw Lolo give Chris a look and him shrugging. I took out my recipe note and dragged a stool to the counter. took a seat and started looking through it for a recipe I would follow. This caramel carrot cake looks like a great option, I could do two layers of the caramel carrot cake and three layers of the key lime cake. For the design I settled on a black meringue design with gold drips and gold balls placed by the side with a couple of equally black piped cupcakes. When I was done with my design and planning I washed my hands and my work space. I mopped the floors and brought out all of my ingredients.

I was so distracted by my wolf and this melancholic feeling that I had to measure my ingredients three good times. I became frustrated with myself that I angrily threw my dish towel across the kitchen.

"Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! What has you in a funk today?" Lolo asks and Chris just stood around looking scared.

"My wolf has decided that it's going to whine for a mate that the moon goddess hasn't blessed us with yet and it's distracting as hell!" I said folding my hands angrily.

Her eyes widen and she shares a look with Chris. "Uhm! Layla? Do you think you might have met your mate and your wolf is just whining for you to be together?" Lolo asks.

My mate? Met him? And then my eyes widened in realization!
