"Sweet Cupcake"

ANNALIE POV

As I open my eyes, I didn’t know that it is still 5 am but I couldn’t sleep anymore and so I stand up and instead look for my dress and sandals to wear for the mass later.

I am not yet done preparing my dress when I felt hungry, I feel like I want to eat a certain food, I try to get out of my room to look for food, I was looking for the cupcake last night, I crave for that!

Upon getting to the kitchen, I was stopped, seeing Victoria wearing an apron looking busy while cooking something, when I look around I can see some scattered flour on the floor and the table bar, but my eyes were caught by a lot of baked cupcakes, its smell lingers to my nose that makes me want to eat it all!

I can't take it anymore, my feet move on their own walking towards the cupcake and grab one and eat it, I didn’t know that Victoria is already staring at me and so I stop, I feel guilty with my act so I was about to say sorry when she suddenly handed me the glass of milk that she did then give me those beautiful smile again.

While drinking the milk my eyes were buried in her smile, it's just fascinating looking at her now, she is all messed because of the flour scattered around her arms and apron but she still looks amazing and gorgeous in everything she does.

While I am in my thoughts, I didn’t realize that she is now in front of me, she is standing an inch away and what surprised me is when she wiped the milk beside my lips, my body suddenly stiffened and couldn’t move for a second, I manage to stare at her face and feel like I want to touch and caress her cheeks.

And so I did, I can't help myself but to touch her face, I can see that she was startled at first but managed to calm herself and just let me do what I want, her skin is so soft and smooth while caressing her cheeks she looks in my eyes, she didn’t even blink or anything, those look mesmerize me which make my lips open waiting for her to meet mine, I now felt her arms wrapping my waist and so I am now closing my eyes to feel the moment when suddenly…

"Miss. Victoria?” the other maid asks still looking sleepy, I quickly move away from Victoria then grab another cupcake and eat it, I can see the shock on her face as well about what was supposed to happen to us earlier.

"I am baking here, just do the cleaning when I am finished" she calmly said then go back to what she is doing earlier as nothing happens.

The maid returns to her quarter and goes back to sleep, leaving the two of us again, and to clear the mood I start to do a conversation.

“Y-you know what, it seems that your baby loves your cupcake, I am seeing other cupcakes but I don’t crave for it, but when you do it and bake, I feel like I want to eat it all….and…well, I guess there is another thing that your baby wants..”

I said while startling

"And what is that?" she smilingly asks

"Well…I guess your baby wants to touch your face and caress it….ahmm every time I look at your cheeks I can't help myself but touch it..” I said while biting my lower lips to suppress my nervousness towards her, I mean this is what her child wants…how I am supposed to stop it!

I was surprised to see her smile after saying that.

"It’s okay, if my baby wants it then my face is all yours to touch,” She said, and the way she said it, it is really warm and genuine, I don’t see the usual Victoria that I am seeing every day she seems different.

When she is done baking, she baked three dozen cupcakes that make me smile wide!

After fixing myself, I head my way out of the house since Victoria is not a fan of waiting, and I am right, I already saw her waiting and standing near the car, all I can say is she is a Goddess, she just wear a white lose V-neck shirt and jeans paired with wedge shoes, her hair has a big curl that suits her, I feel like I want to go back to my room and change my clothes, I feel ashamed wearing this dress and just simple sandals, I look like her maid! Sigh!

When I walk towards her, she quickly opens the door of the backseat, she also said that she will join me at the back since we will have her driver drive for us.

7 am is already traffic and I hate it! I don’t understand myself, sometimes I feel irritable for no reason especially this kind of event, stuck in the traffic, I am also sleepy most of the time, and so while waiting for the car to move, I manage to close my eyes and sleep.

I leaned on Victoria’s shoulder and my eyes are slightly open when I feel like her face is so close to me, then in seconds I was shocked when her lips move towards mine and kissed my lips I almost close my eyes as I can feel her soft lips and warm breath, I feel like I’m going to love this kiss, so I even close my eyes and feel when suddenly...Victoria is waking me up from my deep sleep...Dang!!!! So it’s just a dream??? My God!!! What is a world is going on with me!!! Why did

I dream of such!!??

I just act like nothing is going with me, I don’t want her to notice how blushed my cheeks are...then we enter the church and the mass starts.

"From a stranger. To someone that I can’t stop thinking about"

VICTORIA POV

I can’t hide my anger towards Anna, I am slightly OCD and I am aware of that which is why I can’t stand any changes of my things inside my room, I want it to remain as is on how I left it, and when she insults me being Manolo's wife, yes I want to be successful and get what I deserved but it doesn't mean I used him for a personal thing!, I respect Manolo coz he treats me the same way.

And so I almost hurt her, if I didn’t control myself I might hurt her even worst! I just push her instead but I didn’t know it would be the worst for her and I am about to regret it, when I saw her feeling pained and blood all over her short, I felt nervous and I didn’t know what to do, she can’t be hurt, or else my baby……

Out of my guilt, I bake something, I almost bake dozens of cupcakes coz of my guilt for what I did, I also buy some groceries for her.

I know that she is already awake and so I decided to visit her, I saw how she loved eating the cupcake, and when she said that she like it and it taste good, I already understand that she is already on her first stage of pregnancy or first trimester as they called it, seeing her eating like that I feel like my heart somehow felt a peacefulness, I felt like I was already forgiven to what I did to her earlier, and while watching her I didn’t realize that my eyes are now buried on her I am now literally staring at her, every move was an amazing scene for me that makes me wipe her lips, when my finger touched that beautiful part of her and my heart is now beating fast, I must admit it’s like I want to share the taste of the cupcake from the breadcrumbs falling from her beautiful lips.

When our eyes met, reality hits me when she turns away and I also move away from her, honestly, I don’t know what is going on with me, I feel like I am not in my normal self a while ago, to clear the mood I just told her to sleep early for the mass that we will attend tomorrow then get out of her room.

As I close the door, I hurriedly go to my room, I suddenly sit on my bed and I touch my heart, still, it beats fast, I am asking myself what is going on with me, all my life I know I’m still in a straight path, and I know I will be forever, I just don’t know what is going on with me....should I seek a psychiatrist for this...., her smile.. Her face stocked on my mind...what the h*ck Vicky??? I can’t be destructed by anything even anyone not until I finished my goal!

It is almost 4 am already and I really can’t sleep, I decided to go to the kitchen and cook something, then I found myself baking some cupcake then I noticed it wasn’t “some” anymore…it’s a lot now! Dang!

My heart almost dropped to the ground when Anna appeared in front of me but good thing I can still manage to remain composed.

The way she looks right now, I know that she is hungry, and I’m right, she just picks the two cupcakes that I already baked, she was busy eating and enjoying her cupcake when I decided to make her some milk to drink while steering the glass of milk I caught her looking at me and seemingly staring at me, I slowly walk towards her to hand her the milk, I try to move a little more closer to tease her and that's the biggest mistake ...that lips again, it has this amazing magnet that makes me do it again…to touch her lips and to my surprise, she caresses my cheeks that give me chills, but when I feel how warm her hand is, my heart again...it never stops from beating, looking at her eyes then I can’t stop looking at her lips....those cherry lips that I can’t wait to taste.....God!! I don’t know..but my mind is fighting in my head, I can't control it anymore and so I am moving closer towards those tiny lips.....but then...I was suddenly stopped when Linda appeared in front of us.

I quickly move away from her and I can see that Anna did the same, I told Linda that I am not yet finish baking and so she walks back to their quarters.

Anna decided to go back to her room as well and I have left again here in the kitchen, I let out air and feel my heart, still, it beats fast as always.

Having those feeling, I still manage to bake three dozen cupcakes.

After baking I manage to fix myself for the mass later, after an hour of preparing I head my way out to wait for Anna, then my eyes suddenly buried into one beautiful creature who captures my whole senses of normality, she’s wearing that cute dress that suits fro her, that beautiful long hair and her pointed nose which her hair almost touches it when the wind blows and it look good every time she flips her hair.

Ghhhaadd!! This is not right!! It can’t be.... Damn! Vicky focuses on your goal! You are not like that!...never in your life you’re going to be like that!....the only thought I have dealing with this stupid phenomenon that is happening to me...

We both place ourselves in the back seat since there will be a driver for us, and as usual, it is traffic, I don’t understand why we didn’t take the shortcut, I deathly glare at the driver, and then I gaze at Anna, she looks sleepy, she is just staring at the window then I slowly move near to her, just in case she wants to sleep, I guess I can offer my shoulder and there she is...she’s peacefully sleeping, her hair is covering her face so I remove it but my eyes nailed again at her lips....this time my heart is screaming for a little taste and when it comes to her I must admit I am weak...weak enough to avoid that lips and then.. I found myself meeting her lips with mine...

I know it is not right but at this moment I don't know what is right anymore.....
