[Bennett] Rainy Day Treats

[Delilah Scott Kingsley]

Lilah came into the cupcake shop quickly, closing her umbrella before she shook it off underneath the small covered area outside the door and made her way inside. “ Hey Ben,” she said, waving her hand to Bennett who was behind the counter. ‘Oh hey’ she said, standing up from giving a little girl a selection of cupcakes before she made her way over to Delilah. “ How was work?” she asked, wiping her hands off on her apron before she went over to start putting together a selection for her. Delilah smiled, giving a small shrug of her shoulder. “ Busy as always, you know how real estate can be..” she said, watching as Benett began putting things in a lavender box container for her. ‘ Oh my gosh I can’t imagine,’ she said wistfully as she moved her away behind the counter, picking up treats from all over. ‘ So are you having a movie night tonight with your friend? she asked, looking up at Delilah. She smiled as she looked over at Bennett, giving a small nod. “ Yeah actually.. I think I am going to force him into watching The Notebook with me since I finally finished reading it,” she said, picking up one of the samples from the counter before she took a bite.

Actually work had been busy lately. She needed to talk to ‘the family’. Work was starting to get suspicious and if she didn’t hand someone over soon they might find out she was covering for a lot of people. Not good. She finished the sample before eyeing the rest of them. She pursed her lips together before finally taking another one. What did one more bite hurt? None at all, her desserts were fucking amazing. She watched as Bennett continued to put more and more into the box, and started to wonder if she would be able to carry it without it falling apart. Not that she was one to complain.. watching a Nicholas Sparks movie and gorging herself with food that wasn’t on her diet? Sounded like the perfect plan to her night.

Bennett nodded in approval at her plans for the night, “ Good… I tried something new,” she said as she made her way over to the cake pops. “ You said that he liked chocolate .. I made these raspberry cake pops that are covered in a chocolate truffle sauce. Hopefully he will like them,” she said, placing a selection into the box for Delilah. ‘ If it is edible I am sure he will love it,’ Deliah offered and Bennett just smiled in response. Whatever was going on with those two..relationship, friendship, it was her business. Besides, she’d never seen the guy. She finished wrapping everything up and closed the lid on the box before she pushed it over to Delilah who opened it right away. ‘…. Did you literally give me a cupcake that had a smiling sun on it?”. Bennett brought her hand up to her face and pushed her glasses up her nose, “ It’s rainy outside…” she said as though that should explain it, but Delilah was still staring at her, “ Well everyone needs a little sunshine when it’s rainy outside…” she said before closing the lid again. “ It’s a metaphor cupcake,” she said before she smiled back at Delilah.

‘ Do little birds help you get dressed in the mornings and arrange your hair?” Delilah asked and Bennett widened her eyes as she looked at Delilah, “ Do they do that for you too?” she asked in a playfully sarcastic tone. ‘ When Walt Disney met you did he try to make a move on you before he decided to create a company after you?” Bennett took in a deep breath and sighed, dropping her shoulders as she looked over at Delilah. “ Are you having an angry day?” she asked, tilting her head at Delilah. “ Eat a cupcake. Watch your movie. Relax… “ she said, placing her hands on her hips “ I find coloring books to be extremely relaxing.. sometimes I even go outside of the lines a little,” she said, pushing her hair from her face as Delilah spoke up, ‘ How rebellious of you’. Bennett shrugged her shoulder, “ I am a lot more risqué than I seem.. Trust me.. my desserts are laced..” she said watching Delilah before she brought her hands up and pointed her fingers out before she pantomimed the shape of a heart, “ With love,”. Delilah shook her head as she placed some money on the counter but Bennett was already walking away from that, looking at a little girl who was staring at a cupcake in the front. “ Would you like me to show you how to make that?” she asked before looking up at her mother and smiling. “ But first.. to come into my kitchen there is one very important rule,” she said sternly before she stood up straight, “ You must believe that you are a princess. Do you?” she tilted her head downward and to the side slightly as she looked down at her, giving a small nod. “ Perfect. Then the only choice you have to make is whether or not you want a pink tutu or a purple one,” she said, making her way to go get one before she wrapped it around the little girls waist and then settled a crown on her head. “ Come on, we’ll make ladybug cupcakes ,” she said, walking over to the small ‘play type’ kitchen she had for kids. All of the cupcakes themselves were already baked, they were just able to put the icing on themselves and decorate it however they wanted to over here.
