“Oh you poor thing, come on we don’t have any time to waste, we’ll look as long as it takes okay? We will find her.” She rubs his shoulder softly and soothingly, something she’d do to her sister Angelina if she was ever tense or nervous. “Hey look at me, we’re going to get her home safe okay? I promise.”

Peyton nods, trying to calm himself down. He had been worked up all day over his cat. Once he was fixated on something it was very difficult for his attention to move anywhere else until that fixation died down somehow. “Maybe she’s in the park..?” 

[celinewells]

Celine smiled comfortingly, a futile attempt to try and calm the young boy down, “Well there’s only one way to find out, right?”

“You’ll just have everyone here swooning at your feet. And I will be to say I knew you when, and to sell them my infamous brownies of course.” She teased with a small laugh.

“Are you sure you’d like to hang around with me? I have to warn you I’m not half as exciting as I seem right now.” She giggles before tapping in her chin in fake thought, “Hm, you’ll have to bring me hot chocolate, powdered sugar, and lots of whipped cream. And perhaps most importantly, you’ll just have to be my friend.”

“Of course, you and your divine delicacies will be featured in all my works.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not nearly this entertaining or well spoken on a daily basis; half your exciting now is already twice me regularly.” He laughed a bit, “I could do you one better and let you use my discount at Screamin’ Beans. But you’ll have to be my friend too if that’s something you want.”

[celinewells]

She lets out a short laugh, “Juptier, you do realize of all my ‘divine delicacies’ you’ve only had one, right?”

“And here I thought you were gonna take me on adventures you’d write poems about.” She teased, and then tapped her chin in fake thought, “But it’d be so much more fun to have a cute guy bring me my hot chocolate every morning, we could share a pastry together.” She said nudging him softly with a smile.

Celine giggled seeing him blush, it was adorable, but in turn caused her to blush herself. “Wow Jupiter, you have such a way with words don’t you?” She teases with a small laugh as she finishes her part of the brownie.

“Anytime. Feel free to stop by after your shift for another, maybe I’ll even join you again. But that’s only if you’re extremely lucky again.” She beams with a soft smile.

“Oh, don’t I?” He played, laughing at himself. “I’m the next great American author, I’m gonna be bigger than Shakes-” he stopped short. “Fitzgerald. Shakespeare’s a brit.”

“I might just have to take you up on that offer,” he said before chuckling. “Am I? Okay then, you’re gonna have to give me some tips on how to stay on your good side.”

She smiles softly, “You recognize me? I thought I saw someone checking me out in the morning.” She teased softly, eating a piece of her brownie, her eyes gazing over the lake before turning back to him. “Jupiter, that’s adorable. Pleasure to meet you.”

Jupiter laughed awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck as he felt his cheeks heat up. “Ah ha, uh, well…” He shrugged helplessly, flicking the last of his brownie into his mouth to give him a moment to recover.

“That was a ridiculously good brownie, by the way. Thank you.”

[celinewells]

“No, don’t you worry about it. Obiously this is important to you which makes it important to me, albeit if I don’t know you very well. Plus it’ll help if you have an extra set of eyes helping you look.”

“Well I promise it’s extra important because it’s my best friend’s cat too… We just keep her at my house because we have a spare room ever since my oldest brother moved out.” He looks down feeling a little shaken. “I feel terrible for letting her go missing.” 

[celinewells]

“Oh you poor thing, come on we don’t have any time to waste, we’ll look as long as it takes okay? We will find her.” She rubs his shoulder softly and soothingly, something she’d do to her sister Angelina if she was ever tense or nervous. “Hey look at me, we’re going to get her home safe okay?

Celine had always been a bit too inquisitive, she loved knowing the people who came into her bakery, and for some reason that not even she could explain to herself this stranger interested her.

“Nice to meet you.” She beams happily, “Are you waiting on someone?”

“My sister, but I’m early,” He explained, glancing at the time on his phone and to the window in hopes of Paris walking in. “For her standards, anyways.”

The least he could do was wait to eat for Paris, so he left the bag of pastries and his coffee untouched until his little sister would bounce in and sit beside him. He turned his attention from the window back to her. “One of the guys at the auto shop is always raving about this place and I’ve only been working there for a few days,” He admitted. “I thought I’d check it out for myself.”

[celinewells]

“Oh.” She says as if it’s surprising that people could have families here, “I used to have a sister that lived here.” She trails off thinking of Angelina before returning to her usual chipper self, “She was usually the one that was late though.”

She let out a small chuckle, blush creeping on her cheeks, she enjoyed knowing people loved her bakery as much as she did, but knowing that held it in such high regard made her just slightly nervous, like she had something to live up to. “Well I’m glad he likes it. And I’m sure once your sister gets here, and you’ve both tasted my pastries, you’ll be ranting and raving for days too.”

Celine looks up, “Huh? Oh, I think I saw a kitten like that hanging around here earlier!” She walks from behind the counter, removing her apron, “I’ll close up early and help you look for her.”

He blinks, shocked at her kindness. “Oh gosh um… You don’t have to do that. I wouldn’t want to inconvenience you.” 

[celinewells]

“No, don’t you worry about it. Obiously this is important to you which makes it important to me, albeit if I don’t know you very well. Plus it’ll help if you have an extra set of eyes helping you look.”

Her eyes widened at being called her name most people stuck to ‘ma’am’ or ‘miss’ or even just ‘thank you’ he’d caught her off guard. “Huh? Oh - yeah that’s me! And you’re very welcome.”

Celine felt awkward standing at the counter, business was moving pretty slow, and it’s not like it would hurt to…no. It’d be too awkward for him, she didn’t even know his name. And yet that didn’t stop her from taking her break early, grabbing some coffee, and sitting next to him. “I never did get your name, sir.”

He was caught a little off guard when she joined him. He had taken a seat at the counter since he didn’t want to take up a table for two, knowing his sister would be late.

“Oh, it’s Everest.”

[celinewells]

Celine had always been a bit too inquisitive, she loved knowing the people who came into her bakery, and for some reason that not even she could explain to herself this stranger interested her.

“Nice to meet you.” She beams happily, “Are you waiting on someone?”

“No go ahead, it’s on me. I know what it’s like to be new around here. Where are you headed?”

Gingerly, Paris picked up the brownie, picking at it’s edge. “Uh, the mechanic shop. Our car broke down.”

[celinewells]

Celine smiles, she loved to bake for people, part of the reason she’d opened up the bakery in the first place. “Oh, I’m not sure I’d be able to tell you where that’s at.” She admits with a small laugh.

[hadley-maurine]

celinewells‌:

Celine let out a laugh, “Of course go ahead.” She grabbed a brownie from the display and left it on a napkin for her, “Something to snack on while you figure out where you’re going.” She laughs again.

“Oh no, that’s ok. I don’t really have any money with me.”

[celinewells]

“No go ahead, it’s on me. I know what it’s like to be new around here. Where are you headed?”

[peyton-parker]

“Um.. have you seen this little kitten? She’s shy and gentle. She’s been missing for three days. Her name’s Angel.” He holds up his phone, obvious worry in his eyes. 

[celinewells]

Celine looks up, “Huh? Oh, I think I saw a kitten like that hanging around here earlier!” She walks from behind the counter, removing her apron, “I’ll close up early and help you look for her.”

Celine knew how it felt to uncomfortably shift as you’re told you don’t have the correct amount of change. She’d been on the other side of the counter before, and when she still had her sweet baby sister Angelina, she did whatever she could to make sure she could provide for them. She’d feel like the world’s worst charity case.

“Seriously don’t worry about it.” She offers the sweetest smile that she can, “I already did it, and you said you didn’t want a receipt anyways, let me get it jus this once, next time you can run and get all the change you need okay?” next time. that’s assuming there was a next time.

“Alright, next time,” He agreed, squinting to read her name tag since he didn’t have his glasses. “Thank you… Celine?”

The way getting breakfast played out was so far off from what he planned that Everest was to embarrassed to even drink his coffee. The small sip he allowed himself practically made him want to gag and he decided that he would save it for later, stick it in the fridge once he got home. This way, he could pace himself and have it so that he could return on a day where hopefully the woman wouldn’t recognize him.

[celinewells]

Her eyes widened at being called her name most people stuck to ‘ma’am’ or ‘miss’ or even just ‘thank you’ he’d caught her off guard. “Huh? Oh - yeah that’s me! And you’re very welcome.”

Celine smiled and counted the coins on the counter, “You learned that in second grade? No fair! I had to wait until I was in third.” She jokes and takes the change from him, counting again for good measure. Her smile falters for a moment as she counts again, “You’re short. But don’t worry!” She hands him his change back, before paying for him. “Consider it a gift, and no you don’t have to pay me back. Think of it like, a free sample!”

His stomach dropped as she recounted the change, and it dropped even lower when she offered to pay for him. He wasn’t one not to accept help- he had been doing it all his life ever since his father was sentenced and he had to take care of his little sister. He had to be humble and settle for knowing he couldn’t do things on his own. But little things like this, buying coffee and pastries? When he couldn’t take care of tasks like that on his own, the discomfort settled into his very bones. Him and Paris had been in town for only a few days and he was already becoming a charity case all over again.

“It’s been a long day, could have sworn I counted right,” He insisted, placing the box and coffees back down on the counter. “Let me just get some change from my car and I’ll be right back. I’m parked just out front, really, you don’t have to.”

[celinewells]

She’d been on the other side of the counter before, and when she still had her sweet baby sister Angelina, she did whatever she could to make sure she could provide for them.

Celine nods her head before she listens to his order, “Coming right up.” She grabs everything he asked for, packing his things into cute boxes, and getting his drinks before ringing him up. “That’ll be…$6.87. Would you like a receipt?” She asks with a gentle raise of her eyebrow.

Everest shuffled through his wallet for the change, praying he had enough. It was moments like these that reminded him why he had to take on the other job, why he had to dabble in such dangerous affairs.

He placed the coins on the counter after counting them in his palm. “Gonna have to put those second grade math skills to the test,” He said playfully. “And no, I don’t need a receipt, thank you.”

[celinewells]

Celine smiled and counted the coins on the counter, “You learned that in second grade? No fair! I had to wait until I was in third.” She jokes and takes the change from him, counting again for good measure. Her smile falters for a moment as she counts again, “You’re short.

“Oh my gosh hi! I’m so sorry, let me get you an apron. I’m Celine, I’m the owner, really nice to meet you.” She beams happily.

The boy gave her a wide smile. “It’s no problem really. But it’s nice to meet you ma’am.”

[celinewells]

“You’re too sweet, here ya are.” She said handing him his apron, “And you don’t have to call me ma’am Celine will be just fine.”

[blccdygrace]

“Welcome!” Celine says in a cheery tone as always, hearing the little bell on the front door ring. The smell of the delicacies filled the store, pastries and sweets of all kinds lined up neatly. “What can I get for you today?”

“Uh yeah, I’m here for my first day. I’m Harrison.”

[celinewells]

“Oh my gosh hi! I’m so sorry, let me get you an apron. I’m Celine, I’m the owner, really nice to meet you.” She beams happily.
