Math class was ending. The bell was ringing and Alex went to his locker. He picked up his things and slowly walked at the bakery. It belongs to his parents, best bakers in town. He was living up stairs, so he went up, did his homework and dressed up in the bakery's official uniform.
He went downstairs again and put it the oven the tree cakes and the cookie tray. He, after that, mixed a delicious macaroon preperation. It was his own recipe, his creation and clients seemed to love his macaroons. He was piping the round delights on a tray, ready to go in the oven, when he heard her voice.
This wonderful girl, Clarissa, in his cooking class. She was so talented and very creative. She was looking for a job. His parents invited her to stay until the closing of the bakery, at 6 pm. She was passing her cooking test. She was given an apron and was sent in the kitchen with Alex. He was still preparing his macaroons, not productive anymore. But what? His crush was there. He piped a giant macaroon by accident and felt his cheeks turn raspberry red. She laughed a bit and tasted his preparation.
-It's so good! Vanilla flavoured right?
-Y-y-yes, he stutered.
-Do you have other flavors?
-N-no, why?
-You know, I really love macaroons here but my favorite flavour in all time is rose macaroons. You think you can do them?
-I have a better idea.
He shared her his macaroon recipe and she cooked them, but she added sweet rose water and petals that was in a jar. Alex made a sweet vanilla swiss cream for Clarissa's rose buds macaroons and a caramel one for his vanilla macaroons. They pipped the frosting in the little meringues and placed them on a very beautiful plate. Clarissa brought the plate in the shop's vitrin and they kept some sweets in the kitchen. Alex's parents came in the back kitchen and asked what flavour were the pink macaroons.
-I did them, started Clarissa. They're rose bud's flavoured and I added my magic ingredient in them for sweet and coloring. Please taste them!
Everyone took a pink macaroon and the first bite bursted with flavours! After that day, Clarissa was hired and baked her sweet rose bud macaroons. She became as popular as Alex with her confections. They were very close. About tree years after they graduated, at 6 pm, as she was going home, Alex approached her.
-Hey! I guess I need to tell you now, it's been so long since I want to tell you...
-I love you too!
He couldn't find his words. She came closer to him and kissed his cheek.
-See you tomorrow my sweet macaroon!
-See you my rose bud! But wait! I was just wondering why you needed so many raspberries.
-I use them in my macaroons. I felt inspired the first time I saw you in the kitchen. You were turning red, just like a raspberry. And you know what?
-What?
She kissed his lips.
-A kiss on the cheek wasn't enough. Bye my love!
And she was gone. She ran to not miss her bus.
-Bye my love, wispered Alex, all happy.
