LILIA’S CAKE
“Flying” home from work. Want to stop by the bakery to buy Lilia her favorite cake – chocolate, 3 layers of chocolate cream and teeny bit of raspberry. Yumm!!!
Promised her before we went on vacation. Few minutes late yesterday and kissed the locked door.
Entering the store, checking the counter- here it is. Just one left. I SEE YOU. YOU ARE MINE!!!
The girl at the counter asks if I want to write something on it. Of course, I do.
GUILTY PLEASURES
“What color?” – she continues.
The black hole in my memory swallowed a needed word.
“What’s a girl’s color?” – spitted out I.
“Pink”, “Of course, Pink” – lightning in my mind.
“Please, make it Pink!”
….. Later, when I opened a cake to carve a piece for Lilia, it was Guilty Pleasures across the top … with myriad of tiny pink and golden sparkles shining at me.
It was a Guilty Pleasures cake for my favorite Girl!
