Flour Power

“Oh, that sounds like fun! We could even swing by my coffee shop and pick up some bread from there.” She offers.

Laughing as well, “In some things I am. And I’m not ashamed of it, just means I have more things to learn.” She was ok with being helpless in certain aspects of her life. Shrugging, “I did manage to open my own business, so I supposed that is something.” Not everyone could do that. She had been lucky.

“That would be great! I would of course pay you.” Nothing was offered for free.

She lowers her voice as well, “That’s ok. If you need help with it, let me know. I’m not computer wizz or anything, but I can navigate the internet on my phone pretty easily now.” It was amazing how quickly you learned when you had to.

“Ah, that sounds like it will be both interesting and challenging! Do you plan to study anything else?” maybe he had some dreams of becoming a doctor or something.

There was obvious interest on her face as she listened, a smile matching, “I’ve heard of Sharknado, but I haven’t watched it yet. Nor have I heard of the other one. But nazi zombies protecting a cursed treasure?!” Seemed she’d have to check them out. “I’m a sucker for reality shows on Netflix. Like Alaska State Troopers is a favorite! Oh, and there is this repo show that takes place in Europe! I never knew they could evict someone from a home in the ways they do! It’s quite addicting to watch!” her eyes lighting up as she talked. “But I’m going to have to check out the ones you talked about.” She’d watch anything at least once.

“Now that sounds like fun! Pigging out on takeout and soda and binging horrible shows and movies!”

A grateful smile was offered to the waitress.

The smile faltered a bit when John seemed bothered by the waitresses not acknowledging him, “They don’t always even notice me, they’re just super busy.” She tried to sooth the situation.

“I do! Just opened it a couple months ago and it’s been doing really well!” she gushed, obvious excited about it. “Kept it a secret from everyone until opening night.” It was a hard secret to keep, but she did it. “You have to come visit!” what could she say? She loved showing off her shop, it took a lot of time and effort to make it come to life.

Cutting into her pancakes, she pushes a piece towards John, making sure he tried a piece with plenty of strawberries on it, “Oh yeah! That’s a great field to get into, and really useful!” a nod, “Defiantly skills everyone should know. Well, the basics anyways. Good luck with that! And if you need coffee for late night study sessions, stop by my shop, they’ll be on the house.” She encourages.

Sapphires widen, “No! Seriously?! A sequel?!” there was a shake of her head and a laugh, “Ok, you sold me, I’ll add them to my list.” A phone was taken out and the names were tapped into the phone so she’d remember.

Now this was an interesting turn of events. “A movie and Chinese takeout night?! Hell yeah! Bad movies, good food and great company always make for a good evening. So yeah, lets do that.” Why not?

A shrug, “I’ve been a waitress before, sometimes you just get so busy you’re more focused on getting the plates out to the right tables while still hot than socializing. So I’ve just learned not to take it personally. But I can totally see how it could be taken personally.” Cause if he was feeling hurt by the waitress she didn’t want to make him feel she was blowing off how he felt. That would be rude.

“Oh, then you’ll have to try the edible glitter! It really makes the coffee or cappuccino.” Yeah, she was kind of proud of the edible glitter. Even though she didn’t own the market on it, she just thought it fit better in the atmosphere of her shop.

She eagerly accepts the piece, spearing it with her fork. Chewing it, “Oh, this is amazing!” her head nods.

“Nothing wrong with that, it’s an admirable goal.” Nothing wrong with that, least he had some type of goal. Most Lost didn’t have that, she sure as hell didn’t.

“Maybe they’ll add a third type of zombie?!” she says laughing. "Or maybe like zombie animals! Bears or something native to the area!"

Was that a blush? Was it something she said?

“Oh! We need to have junk food! Like, tons of candy and whatever else is supposed to be bad for us!” she gushed with excitement.

[Seraphina]

Her voice lowers, “But between you and I, I’m happy to be out of the field.” Sure, it paid the bills when she didn’t have anything, but it just wasn’t her. She was built to wait tables. “Though the tips were always good.” A single shoulder shrug.

Back to normal pitch, “Yes! It’s amazing! It comes in all kinds of colors, people tend to request the combination of colors one. But I have pink, blue, purple, you name, I probably have it. I saw it online one day and I was like, I need to have that at my coffee shop! And people love it.” There was obvious excitement in her voice. “Glad you’re willing to try it! I assure you it’s safe, it’s made from a company that specializes in it. I also plan to add it to pastries and breads.” She had a soft spot for the glitter, it reminded her of her own skin at times.

“Glad you like it! It’s also amazing if you mix things like bananas in with the strawberries, and, oh, they even have strawberry flavored syrup! It’s amazing!” she loved strawberries and anything berry actually.

Eyes widen in amusement as she giggles into a free hand. She puts her fork down and gestures to her nose while still giggling.

“Oh! Now that would be fun! I don’t know about Eastern European mythology except the lochness monster. But not sure if they could really use that, being a water creature and all. But something mythical would defiantly add something to the movie. I’m really curious to watch it now.” Sounded like it wasn’t a huge hit movie or anything, but sometimes those were the best.

“A cake? Hmmm, how about an ice cream cake?!” eyes widen and seem to sparkle. “Combine two of the best treats, ice cream and cake!” clearly she liked ice cream cake. Though where she put it was a mystery.

[Seraphina]

Nodding, “Oh yeah. I have to order it almost weekly to keep it in stock!” the college kids seemed all about it. “Sure! I haven’t decided if I’m going to go with just bread or add another type of pasty to it. Like maybe muffins too. The possibilities are endless, but I also don’t want to go overboard with it you know?” too much glitter things seemed like it would be overkill.

Eyes widen in shock, “You haven’t?!” seriously? “Well, we’re going to have to fix that! I happen to have a variety of flavored syrups at my apartment. We are totally having a pancake lunch or dinner or something with all the syrups! Though the strawberry is my personal fav.” She wasn’t taking no for an answer, he was trying flavored syrups.

She giggled again at his reaction and blush, it was kind of cute. Smirking, “I shouldn’t have said anything, it was kinda cute.” She says matter of factly while taking a bite of her pancakes. It was fun to make people blush, men more so than woman.

“I’m all for whacky! Sometimes it might seem like a bit much, but it also sometimes adds something. Horror movies can’t always be serious, I think some just need to be over the top and have some humor. Keep things light you know?” she certainly didn’t like being serious, it just didn’t fit her.

Grinning, “Great! I’ll make sure to pick one up! I can’t wait either! Movies, ice cream cake and Chinese food and good company! It’s gonna be awesome!” she nods. “Oh, are there any flavors of ice cream cake you enjoy more than others?”
