Carlon, delivered wrong orders. Our customers were disapointment, but I guess they were happy once I told Carlon to give back their payment," she said.
"Really? I'm so sorry, julia!" I said, sincerely.
"Next time, be more responsible and focus on what you are doing," she said, smiling at me.
"Yeah. I will, sorry,"
I'm happy Julia was able to fix the problem on the delivery. I promised myself i'll do more on this business.
CARA'S POV
The news came to me when one of my previous classmates told me that Austin has been always skipping class and that he smells cigarette. He never smoked cigarettes before. I'm pretty sure it was an influence of her girlfriend.
I wanted to ask how he is but I don't know how to approach him. I'm still shy.
Maybe i'll asked Julia later.
I am in my mom's eatery today. I am helping her cooking for today's menu since, her friend who helped her was not around, good thing I am not baking today.
"Mom? Is the smores brownies gone?" I asked her since I don't see it anymore in the counter.
"Yes, honey. The students liked it," she said.
"they like it?" I asked again, I hope so.
"Yes, loved it! they were even asking when will I sell them here," she said. "I shouldn't have doubted your business. I should've trusted you in the first place," she said, smiling at me.
"It's okay, mom. Not everyone will support us in the beginning, but i'm very happy for you, seeing the potential of it now," I said and gave her a warm smile.
I'm very excited to bake again, and for the future of caia bakes.
while I was wiping the tables, julia and carlon arrived.
"Hey, are you eating lunch here?" I asked julia.
"Of course, why would I eat somewhere else," she laughed.
I sat infront of her, "how's your day?" I asked.
"Another ordinary day for me, but not to austin," she said.
"I'm not asking about him," I said.
"but I know you're curious, wanna know the exciting part of the day?" she smirked.
I just looked at her, and waited for her to talk again, "he broke up with hope in the middle of the corridor," she said.
"why would he break up with hope?" i asked with a furrowed brows.
"realizations and one of his professor talked to him making him realized that hope is no good for him, and I guessed he's also tired of hope bossing him around." she sighed, "I really don't like that girl," she rolled her eyes.
At home
I just got home when I received a message from David.
"Hi,Cara. I would like to order two smores brownies, chocolate chips, and oatmeal cookies, and can I have a favor?"
I was about to type my reply but he's already calling.
"Hello?" I answered the call.
"Hi, it's late. Did I wake you up? I'm sorry," he said.
"No, it's okay. I just got home," I said while removing my shoes.
"Did you receive my text?" he asked.
"Yeah. I was about to reply but you called already," I laughed.
"Oh, about my orders. I'm actually shy to ask you this but, can you deliver it personally on my work once you're done baking it,"
I was startled about what he said, so I couldn't answer him right away.
"Is it okay?" he asked.
"I'm not sure yet. I don't know if i'll be busy once we finished baking it," I said.
"then can you bake it when you're free afterwards?"
"Okay, I can do that. I'll message you when it's done," Why do I have to be the one to deliver it to him, that was my question but didn't mind asking him.
I was about to take a shower when mom suddenly shows up infront of me.
"Mom! My gosh! You startled me," I said while my hand were in my chest.
"Carlon talked to me earlier," she said as she sat on my bed.
"What did he said?"
"He told me you looked so sad and bothered these past few days, I guess he told me his observation because he couldn't asked you himself," mom looked at me, "Is there something going on between you and your guy friend?"
"guy friend? Who?" I asked her, I sat next to her.
"Austin," she looked at me intently, "tell me honestly, cara," she said.
"Oh, about that."
Of course, I will not tell my mom that I kissed austin. She'll definitely freak out.
"It's just a misunderstanding," I answered her.
"Do you like him or do you have feelings for him?" she asked, and this time I know she's serious.
"I don't want to ruin our friendship," I said, smiling at her.
"But it's that what your heart is telling you to do?" she asked with concerned in her eyes.
"My heart is telling me to confess, but I didn't know how to do that. I really like him,mom. I don't know how or when it happened, but my heart suddenly beats for him," I admitted.
Mom holds my hands this time, "It's okay to confess even if you're a girl, did you know I was the one who confess to your father when we were at your age, too?" she laughed.
"If i didn't confess, then I wouldn't know that he likes me too," she added. "If he told you he didn't like you, then move on. Atleast you tried and you will have no regrets after that."
I smiled at my mom, "it's so complicated to have a romantic feelings to someone," I said. "It is but that's part of growing up, you'll get hurt in the process but you will also learn," she smiled warmly at me.
"So this is what upsets you," she laughed. "how are you and austin today?" she asked.
"we had a misunderstanding and we were avoiding each other," it makes me sad that we weren't like before, but I couldn't blame him.
"talk to him, that's the right thing to do, it's getting late. I'm going to sleep," she smiled and hugged me, "my baby girl is now in love and who knows maybe in few more years you'll get married. I will never be ready when that time comes," we laughed together on what she said.
