Biting her lip Rory smiles, maybe the baking lessons that Olivia had made her take for the last month were paying off. Peeking into the oven only makes her smile more as she sees her cake rise. It had been six months since the two of them had gotten together, and every month on that day they did something small but this month she had to do something for him. Something special. Putting the ingredients into the mixer she began making homemade icing, biting the inside of her cheek she began to think about the past six months.
It was amazing… How was it that the two of them ended up together? They were opposites, and yet they were drawn to each other. He was so kind, so generous, so sweet, he was everything any woman would want and honestly she was so lucky to have him. The two of them had been through more in their six months than most go through in their entire lifetimes.
Reading the icing recipe for the hundredth time, Rory carefully added the next set of ingredients, hoping that she didn’t screw this up. Hearing the timer sound on the oven she hurries over to the oven and pulls the cake out of the oven carefully and rests it on the countertop hoping for it to cool. Returning to the mixer she hears the door open and quickly pours the powdered sugar into the bowl.
Walking through the front door, Jay looks around, how is that she could always find the time to clean the entire house. Throwing his bag onto the sofa he walks into the kitchen and can’t hold in the peals of laughter that were all too ready to escape his mouth. There she was… Standing there covered in white powder. Walking over her he gently strokes her cheeks, dusting off that white powder to show her new fluorescent red cheeks. Gently kissing her forehead he smiles. “What were you trying to do Pinky?”
She bites her lip and looks down embarrassed. She couldn’t dare tell him that she attempted to bake a cake and have something as simple as the icing to explode like that. So before she could even think of what to do she reached her fingers into the bowl and smeared the white goo onto his nose and grinned at the confused look on his face.
Shocked he stared at her, what was on his nose? Reaching his own hand up he wipes off his nose and sees the white mush, what the hell? Looking behind Rory he notices the cake and his eyes widen, it was supposed to be icing, and the powdered sugar must have exploded all over her and the kitchen when she poured it into the mixer. Looking over at the counter he sees the bowl of cake batter and does the same to her, grinning brightly.
A giggle escapes her lips as he smears the chocolate batter across her face and grabbing the flour she tosses it at him, covering him in white too. By the end of the food fight the two of them stood in the kitchen covered in cake batter, icing, flour and powdered sugar. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders she pulls him into a kiss. Smiling gently she pulls away and rests her forehead against his, “I attempted to make a cake today.”
He chuckles, “Really? I thought you were having World War III with your kitchen appliances.” Looking around he surveyed the damage the two of them caused the kitchen, every single inch of that room was covered in white and brown, wow that sounded wrong… Icing and cake batter – that’s what he meant.
She grins, “Have I ever told you how much I love your sense of humor?”
“A few times,” he chuckles “so is there a reason that you decided to do this?”
Pulling him into another kiss she smiles, “Happy six month anniversary.”
His eyes widen, “Oh, Rory…” he smiles, “happy anniversary.”
