Cookies and Cream…

Ring, Ring , Ring……. 6:00 am. Alya reached out to turn off the alarm clock. It has been an only 2 days since she came back. The return home was different. She joined Liam to take the bus back home because there was no space left in the car. They had an extra passenger, ‘this Cindy is a bit dangerous she thought ‘I should keep my distance’ She got up performing the usual routine to go for the office. ‘I feel so sleepy can’t they give us a break?’ This Brian is worse than the past one. She walked to the bus stop for the office. She was half sleepy and yawning while entering the office. The office felt like a dreaded place all of a sudden. ‘Well I have to make money after all’ She dragged her feet to her table exchanging greetings. Megan is as usual with a bunch of sticky notes stuck all over her. She smiled at her cute colleague and sat on the table. “Sarah what are you still doing here?” Helea called her from behind. “ I just entered the office .” she replied. “ You were supposed to stick with the RD from today did you forget?” here we go again the running and a bunch of work she dropped her coat on her desk gulped the coffee which almost burned her tongue and ran quickly to the first floor. She did not take the lift and ran by stairs. She forgot to report to RD early to join them in ingredients buying. That was supposed to be really early in the morning. She mentally slapped herself for the mistake. She finally reached the floor and knocked to enter the room. She was greeted by a group of people looking at a table. The room had mini machines some she recognized the others still new for her. It is a really large room like a bog auditorium. On the right side there were some people on the stove looking at something boiling. ‘This is interesting, and I am so curious’ she thought. The room was bright lightened, and few groups of people were busy with their own tasks. The room had white and yellow colored walls tiled. Some of the people were wearing totally white and aprons looking at the stove and bowls on tables. Others were wearing shorts and trousers but wearing protective clothes. Alya was given a cap and a mouth cover and gloves. She wore them and walked towards the table. The table had a few fruit bits and creams. They were looking at combinational tastes. Alya looked all over the room the smell is so attractive. ‘This place smells so delicious. I want to taste everything so much.’ She was thinking where to run what to taste but she had to note every different flavors. There are colorful fruits and some vegetables. There were some root vegetables roasted sweet potatoes, roasted carrots, there were some candied carrots. She moved around the room and them came to a shelf of different colored creams. Alya licked her lips and wanted to go forward for a taste. But she went forward are eyes sparkling. “ Want a taste?.” She looked up to see a person he had a long white beard and golden glasses. Alya, “ Can I have a taste?” She was given a spoon full of white cream it had a purple syrup on it and some golden bits on it. She put the whole thing in her mouth. The cream was sweet and a bit sour on time. Alya, “ What is lemon and grape?” The chef nodded and he smiled at her expression “Would you like to try some more?” Alya felt very happy and nodded like a child. For the next hour Alya ended up eating different mixture of chocolates, creams, fruit syrups and thanked her sweet tooth. She felt satisfied. ‘I wish I would transfer here’ she thought “ Having fun ?” she heard someone ask her from behind it sounded like Helea. Alya nodded. “Want to have more?” Alya turned around and her face gave a fear “ Yes Please” . Helea looked at her with a pissed of face. Helea, “ Did you note anything?” Alya, “ I did some then it was so tasty I forgot” she smiled at her feeling guilty but happy. “Sorry I will get it done” she ran to the table and started looking at the cookie batches quickly ‘Should I get more cookies while I type? This is the best thing that happened to me’ while biting on a chocolate chip cookie.
