Chapter 2
I relocked the front door and went to the back to finish my breakfast. My coffee and muffin were both cold so I nuked them then settled back into my chair. I tried to push Max out of my head but found him hanging around. Daydreaming was dangerous in my job so I told myself what I already knew, that I didn’t have time for a man.
No matter how delicious he was.
With my breakfast safely tucked into my belly I ran upstairs and changed into my clothes for the day. I buttoned my jeans and grabbed a Bite Me! t-shirt from my closet then tied the apron back on, with the girls tucked into a b*a this time.
Downstairs I started a pot of coffee out front and set up the cream and sugar on a table near the end of the counter. I kept a variety of flavored creamers and multiple kinds of sugar, although I couldn’t understand how people could use those unhealthy alternatives.
Who was I kidding? I mainlined coffee and didn’t bother putting anything in it and ate cupcakes or muffins for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I had no room to talk about being healthy.
My newest batch of cupcakes came out of the oven and I set them to the side to cool with the other three batches already waiting for icing. I knew I wouldn’t have time to frost them before I opened up for the day, but I did have a few minutes to look through my emails. My realtor, Elizabeth, was supposed to be in touch about the property as soon as she heard something. Not that I thought she’d email me so early, but I could dream.
I tucked away my iPad after I cleared my inbox and unlocked the front door for the second time that day and smiled when the bell above it tinkled as soon as I stepped behind the counter.
“Good morning,” I said brightly to my first customers of the day. “Welcome to Bite Me! Let me know when you’re ready.”
