Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Archer

He had began his day as usual. Starting early to bake more cakes ready to begin the day. He usually makes several hundreds for the shop, as well as making cakes for events.

Although there's several hours before opening time, he notices the long queue.He smiles, but he also knows it will be a long hard day. 'Just remember this is what you love doing and you are working to buy a place of your own,' he muttered to himself. 'I just need to find the time to hire a helper, just haven't got round to it.'

Soon as he opens his doors, his customers go in. In an orderly fashion to prevent any chaos. Half his cakes were already gone by midday. He always feels like he never makes enough cakes as he is almost always selling out, which means he always finishes late and leaves limited time to himself to have fun. When he does have time off in the evenings, he goes clubbing to meet guys, occasionally he gets lucky.

In the last few times that he's been out, he felt that there was something missing in his life. He wants a bit more than just sex, he needed something a bit more meaningful.

"Hey Arch…" a friend called out, catching his attention, "Hey Archer…" he called out again.

"I'm working, can this wait?" Archer mouthed back to his friend.

"I know you are. I was wondering if you are coming out tonight?"

Archer shrugs his shoulders "I'm not sure...maybe…"

His friend then puts his handphone to his head mouthing the words "ring me!"

Archer nods and continues to smile and serve his customers, both loyal and new.

By two o'clock Archer had to close the shop early as he had sold out of everything, but he couldn't stop there. He knew he needed to make thousands instead of hundreds ready for the next day. He also knew he wouldn't be going out that night either, as he needed to catch up on his accounts.

Just then flashes of images were running wild in his head from couple nights before of the guy he met after work.

'Suddenly, he was startled, someone jumped him from behind' The stranger started to kiss and suck on Archer's neck as he let out a loud groan. The stranger gradually moved to Archer's ears. Teasingly moving forward "shut your eyes" the stranger ordered in a deep voice.

Archer hesitantly did as he was told and within seconds he felt something plump and soft on his cushioned lips. As the strangers lips worked Archer's lips, Archer found himself moving in sync with the motions, their bulges rubbing against each other. Before Archer knew the stranger had one hand on Archer's ass and the other on his back and the stranger pulled Archer tight to his torso…'

Archer's phone rang loudly which brought him back to reality. He straightened himself up feeling a little flustered when he answered his phone. It was his mate asking him where he was.

"Sorry bud, I got too much on tonight, another night perhaps."

"Sure, no probs… Erm… do you need a hand with anything?"

"Erm… " Archer thought for a long while, knowing that his mate isn't any good with numbers he asked anyway "My accounts need doing… if you are interested"

"Thanks but no thanks, you know I'm no good at that sort of thing, but I will come over. Keep you company" his mate said "It's a bit dead out here anyway" he finished.

Archer didn't really want to be disturbed, nor did he decline his mate as he did love his company. Archer's mate Skandar, just made everything seem easier.

Archer was working away making a thousand cupcakes, or as he likes to call them fairycakes because of the way he decorates them. He was also making more fairycakes from text orders. 'I really need someone I can trust to handle the shop while I make and bake.' "I do wish I could clone myself." he said out loud, as there was a knock on the door. He went to open it and Skandar was standing right before him.

"Hi Skandar, how's it all going?" Archer greeted a little too enthusiastically.

"I'm doing good thanks. So you been busy then" Skandar returned giving Archer a warm hug, "need a hand?" he asked.

"Erm… with the fairycakes!? Erm… not with the baking, but I could do with the help in the shop till I get these orders under control" Archer said, "come on in by the way, want a drink or anything?" Archer offered.

"Yeah it does look like you do. I noticed you shut early because you sold out today. Well done and I am good for the moment, I will wait till you are done," Skandar said politely.

"Yeah! I could have stayed open if I had a chance to advertise for a trusted helper..." Archer then got interrupted.

"Well I can help ya there, help rack more in, if you want to do a full shift daily." Skandar offered kindly.

"Really you would do that for me, I will obviously pay you for your time." Archer said gratefully.
