{Amaya Rose}

When I get home that day I call Ash straight away.

"Guess what," I squeal as soon as she picks up.

"WHAT?" she knows what's up.

"I got information on Muffin man," I blurt out.

"Did you like ask him? or stalk?" she asks, confused, "doesn't matter. What is it?"

"He is Xavier Knight... Muffin man is my boss," I announce.

"NO FUCKING WAY," she gasps, "HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW BEFORE."

"I don't know Ash, but I heard he is like super serious all the time but that's not true at all," I mumble.

"Maybe he is just like that with you," she teased.

"He just likes the muffins," I reply, blushing a bit.

"Yeah keep telling yourself that," she chuckles, "anyways I need to go, break is over."

"Alright, good luck. Love you," I smile.

"Thank you, May. Love you too," she mumbles before hanging up and returning to her work.

He has a boss aura to him but I thought that was just because he is attractive and confident. I didn't think he was the actual boss.

It's sweet of him to put the new muffin on the menu, I'm glad he liked it.

When chef told me this morning that the boss liked my muffin, I was confused because I didn't know he tried it. I figured maybe chef took one for him to try but it was Muffin man.

Oh my god I took a ride from him and indirectly called him a stalker by asking him how he knew my shift timing. I hope he didn't take it that way. What if he did? Am I going to be fired? No Amaya you did nothing wrong. Right? Yeah.

My thoughts got interrupted when I received a call, I pick up my phone.

"Hey sweetie," my mom greets from the other line.

"Hey mom," I missed her, "how is Hawaii?"

"It's great Maya, me and Garry are enjoying it a lot here, you would love it here," she sounds happy.

"That's great to hear mom," I beam.

"How have you been May?" Garry, my mom's boyfriend, asks; sounding further away.

"I've been great, I'm still trying random recipes for the bakery," I inform.

"That's good sweetie. I'm sure it'll be amazing," my mom replies.

"I hope so. Anyways mom I have to go work on something. Have fun and stay safe," I rush remembering I have another recipe to try.

"Okay darling. You too. I love you Amaya and I miss you I'll be home soon," she laughs.

"I love you too mom. And I can't wait," I smile before hanging up.

Just as I walk into my kitchen I get a knock at the door so I go to see who it is.

"Hey May," Blake, Caleb, and Brea scream together.

"Hello guys, also shh the neighbors," I looks out into the hallway to see if anyone is outside.

"Sorry," they mumble, walking into my apartment.

I've known them since my first year and next year is my last year, more like in a few months. My break ends in around 4 months, then last year begins. I'm excited but also nervous. I hope I have a bakery by the time I'm done with fourth year.

"What are you guys doing here-? Not that I mind," I smile.

"We were all together and bored so we decided to come cause Cassidy and Quinn are out shopping. Ivan and Ethan are at a soccer game and Dylan is hooking up with some chick he found at a café. And Ash is working," Blake explained, all of them settling on my couch.

"So, what are you doing?" Brea asks, looking at the apron I had in my hand before I went to get the door.

"I was about to try a new recipe," I inform.

"Oh well you do that and we will be the judges," Caleb demands, joking.

"Alright, judge. I will get on that right away," I giggle walking to the kitchen.

"So, what are you making?" Blake calls out from the living room.

"Fudge brownies," I answer.

"Oh, that sounds good," Brea says, smiling when I look at her from the kitchen.

My apartment wasn't that big. When you enter there is that living room, to the left there is the main room and a guest room to the right, the kitchen connected to the living room with an opening giving a view of the living room when you are in the kitchen. It wasn't a mansion but it was home; and it was perfect.

I get my bowl and whisk out and also the ingredients. I wonder if I should save one for him to try- wait no he doesn't like chocolate.

I go to preheat the oven to 180ºC and line baking sheet on my baking dish.

I then get exactly 8 oz of chocolate and chop it into chunks, eating some just to make sure it's not poisoned. Yes that's the reason. I then separate it in half and put it in the microwave, leaving the other half in the side for later.

I take another bowl and mix 12 tablespoons of melted butter and 1¼ cups of sugar together and when it's all combined I beat in the 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla together for a few minutes. It becomes super fluffy and I want to lay in it.

Next I take out the melted chocolate and make sure not to burn myself. I let it cool and whisk It into the egg and butter mixture. Making sure not to overdo it cause then it won't be nice. I get my ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon salt and sift that in all together and add in the rest of the chocolate chunks. All done with the batter- I want to eat it, it looks so good that my mouth is watering.

I transfer that into my baking tray and when I hear the ding of my oven I put it inside.

I look over to what my friends are doing and see they are all cuddled together watching titanic, Blake looks like he is about to cry and Caleb is comforting him, "he will die at the end," I hear Blake mumble sadly.

Brea looks like she is about to burst out laughing but she is recording them.

"This isn't finny Brea. That wood piece had enough space for the both of them but rose wanted to be selfish," Caleb frowns when he hears Brea giggle.

"Guys we have watched this movie a million times, why do you get sad each time?" she laughs.

They are now both glaring at her, she stops laughing but still has a smile on her face. She hugs them rubbing their backs while they are scowling but still hugging her back. I start giggling and they look at me sad.

"It's okay guys on the bright side the brownies are almost done," I smile.

"YAY," they all yell, no one sad or frowning anymore.

I hear the timer go off and carefully take out the brownies and put them in the fridge to cool down and when they are somewhat cool, I take them out and cut them into pieces and put them into a plate.

I walk over to the couch and Blake immediately takes the plate from me and digs in.

"OI BITCH! That's ours too," Brea screams taking the plate and putting it on the table.

They all grab a brownie and take a bite...

"So? What do you think?" I ask when they don't say anything.

"It's fucking amazing," Caleb announces.

"Yeah seriously can you make these every day and send them to me, please?" Brea pleads.

"I love you," Blake mumbles to the brownie, he is in his own world.

"Thank you guys," I giggle. I'm happy they like the brownies. I just hope they do good in my future bakery.

After the movie- and a few more tears, they leave. It was a fun day but I need to start getting ready for bed.

After I clean up the apartment and change into comfy pajamas I head to my bed and lay down. This is relaxing.

I close my eyes and the last thought in my mind is him.
