Episode 2

It's finally Wednesday. I was eagerly waiting for this day to come since I missed him for a week. He texted me a few days ago that he wanted to make something with me in my bakery. I've always wanted to spend time with him. Eee!! I am so excited!

" Hey! " said Shawn as soon as he walked into my bakery.

'Hi! .. Shawn" I stuttered because of embarrassment.

" Well um, I got a sudden holiday today from my boss.. so... I thought of spending my time with..you" He said shyly. He was flustered.

" I guess then we'll have loads of fun"

[Shawn's pov]

" I guess then we'll have loads of fun," she said giggling at my flustered face.

[For a moment he simply gazed into her eyes,]

"So what are we going to make today? " I said.

"Umm, I was thinking ..that we should make mochi today. Its a simple and easy dish," she said on a cheerful tone. She is indeed very cute.

[ end of Shawn's pov]

We started making strawberry ice cream rice cakes, those are amazing, I once had them in Japan and it's one of the best desserts I know. He was beating the warm glutinous rice mixture while I was making the strawberry ice cream. When he finished cutting the mochi, he looked down to see I had split some cornstarch on the ground. "You split some cornstarch..don't worry I'll clean it up. Can you continue making mochi for me?" He said.

I nodded at him as I went to put the ice cream in the fridge. As I walked back over the kitchen counter, Shawn was still trying to pick up the cornstarch, I must have dropped a lot.

After we made the mochi, we put some on the counter for the customers. The mochi was for free for everyone to enjoy on a busy day. I was now tired from making the dessert, bored too. Shawn was cleaning around the kitchen and I had to put away all the stuff we made mochi with. I noticed a container filled with pink sugar, I remember I had put it there for coating my mochis. Suddenly I had this intention of throwing a handful on him and I did. I took a glance at him, Shawn was bending down, to tie his shoelace. This was a great opportunity so I took some powder sugar from the container and threw it over Shawn.

It was beautiful, the way the colour sugar formed a cloud above his head as his hair got a new pink colour mixed with his dark brown hair. Shawn got up the floor and turned to me. His black apron was covered in pink and so was his back.

He didn't look very happy, he made a pout at me as he tried to brush the powder off his black apron. Shawn sighed as he brushed it off his shoulder and saw some sugar fall out of his hair as he shook his head. His hair looks so fluffy, like an actual baby! He saw it in his hands and looked back at me. He looked me up and down when suddenly he had this smirk on his face.

I stepped back a bit for I didn't know what intentions he had. He slowly came up to me and threw a handful of sugar on me. Little did I know that he had been hiding some in his hand. We both started giggling at our mess. Later we talked for a long time while enjoying some mochi. It took us a long time to clean up our mess and by evening we bid goodbyes to each other.

I laid down on my bed and sighed. Today was a really long day and all I wanted to do was sleep. But I couldn't, for some reason all I could think about was Shawn. Come one ..willow.. just stop thinking and sleep. I said as I tried to make myself comfortable on the bed.

[Loving you feels so right,

but at the same time,

knowing I can’t have you keeps me awake at night.

I just want this to be simple,

I just want you here with me

to look into your eyes,

be held in your arms…then I’d truly be happy.]
