Chapter 48
Jennifer
My alarm went of just before 4 am. I wasn’t ready to face this day but I had to. I got up and got ready for work. I arrived at the bakery just before 5 am which was late for me but when I open the door, I didn’t smell anything, which meant Eleanor wasn’t there either. “Great this is going to be a blue Monday.” I said out load. I look at my phone and saw there was a message from Eleanor telling me she came down with a stomach bug. “Fuck” I quickly got into the kitchen and started to bake I needed to make my cupcakes as well as the cupcakes Eleanor would have made. Time went by so fast as I put the last frosting on the last cupcake there was a knock on the door. When I checked my watch, it was already 8:45. I went to open the door for my Barista. “Morning Jenn.” “Morning John. Eleanor is sick it’s going hectic can you please help me getting the cupcakes in the display cabinet before we need to open.” “Yes, off course.” John and I quickly got everything in the display cabinet before we needed to open. When he opened the door at 9 am I was still wearing my apron as I helped one customer after another. I don’t know if it’s because of me being extra busy this morning but the bakery felt extra busy as well. By 11 am I could finally breath the rush was over and I could leave the front and go back to the kitchen to clean up the morning’s dishes. ‘Maybe I need some more help in the kitchen’ I thought. I looked at my phone and thank goodness Romeo didn’t call me I decided to put it on load just in case I miss anything. I don’t want to start our first real weekend with punishment. I cleaned the kitchen went to the bathroom to make myself a bit more presentable after the rush. I was still in the bathroom when John came knocking on the door.
“Sorry Jenn there is a man in the front for you.” “Can’t he wait?” I screamed a bit irritated. “No, I cannot.” I heard my dad’s voice outside the bathroom door. “It’s fine John I’ll be out go back to the front please.” “Okay Jenn.” “Take a seat dad I’ll be there in a minute.” I screamed at him. He didn’t say anything but I did hear footsteps. I got myself together and went out to see my dad he was sitting at my favorite table. “Morning dad.” “Jennifer” “Can I get you something?” “It’s too early for something sweet.” He barked at me. “I thought more about a coffee dad.” “Fine” I went to John and told him how to make my dad’s coffee and to bring me one as well. When I got back to my dad he said “You didn’t answer your phone yesterday.” “I did not.” “Why?” He asked surprised. “Really dad you told me I need to get married and that you will choose someone for me. Don’t you see the problem in that?” “Actually, I don’t.” “Clearly because then you would understand why I didn’t answer. Why are you here dad?” “We didn’t talk about the social events of the week.” “It’s because I’m not going to any social events with you dad.” “Nonsense off course you will.” “Do I still need to get married?” “Off course one has nothing to do with the other.” “In my books it has, so no I’m not going with you.” “Jennifer don’t be childish the first event is on Wednesday and then there is one on Friday.” “I’m not going dad.” “You will I’ll pick you up at 6 pm at your apartment for Wednesday.” “Dad, don’t you listen I’m not going and definitely not to Friday’s one.” “Jennifer I’m done talking I will pick you up and you will attend with me.” Then he got up and walk out of the bakery like it’s a done deal. “Fuck” I said that a bit to hard because the customers that was in the bakery looked at me. “I’m sorry.” I said then moved to the kitchen. I needed to get myself under control. I wished I could call Romeo and just tell him what just happened. I still couldn’t believe it. But I didn’t want to bother Romeo with my problems. I got myself under control and went back to the front of the bakery, helping customers.
Romeo
It was Monday morning and I had a lot of meetings. That is the problem with Monday’s meetings after meetings. But at least I’m the boss and everyone has to do what I tell them to. Which works great for the Dom inside me. When I eventually got time to take a break and drink a cup of coffee I started to think of Brad and the fact that he is trying to force Jenn to get married, who still does that in this day and age? How am I going to help her was all I could thought of. I decided there is no time like present I took my cellphone and called Brad. “What?” He answered his phone. “Jeez Bradford are you having a blue Monday or what?” “Sorry Romeo. You can say that.” “What happened business anything I can help with?” “No business is good it’s my daughter guess you can’t help there?” This was my way in. “You wanne meet up for lunch and talk about it?” “Fuck why not?” Brad said. “Our normal spot, say in 30 minutes.” “I’ll go there now.” Brad said. “Fine I’m on my way.” Hopefully I get the words that will help Jenn. I thought of sending her a message telling her I’m meeting her dad then I decided against it, I’d rather go to her if I have a solution. Let’s pray I get a solution for her and basically for me. I’m not ready to let her go I mean we just started.
