Chapter 14 - Chapter 13: Mr Black

After Brie joined Adam in the study,April went to the kitchen to seat with Bany as they waited for the pie in the oven to bake.

"They've been in there for a while now". April said as she stared blankly .

"They've only been in the study for forty eight minutes " Abby said laughing at the bored look on April's face.

"She meant the pie" Bany laughed also causing April and Abby to burst out in loud laughter.

"No, I meant Brie.....and the pie" April said which also gained a hearty laughter from Bany.

"Don't worry,I'll save the second slice for you" Bany said to April.

"No,I always get the first piece."April said with a pout.

"Not today dear, Mr Black is getting the first slice. he loves Bany's pie a lot. "Abby said.

"I don't believe there is a person that loves Bany's pies more than I do".

"Oh yeah, that person is here today" Abby said enjoying the look on April's face.

"Enough both of you, I'll just make more " Bany said

"I want the lemon Meringue pie " April said as she gave Bany the cute puppy eyes .

"Oh, that is also Mr Black's favorite " Abby said trying hard to annoy April and her effort paid off as April flashed her a glare .

"I wonder who this Mr Black is, I have a feeling we're going to have a lot to fight for " April muttered under her breath.

Soon the kitchen was filled with silence and the scent of freshly baked pie.

"Bring the plates and set the table " Bany said to Abby as she took the pan out of the oven.

"Wow !, it looks do good" April exclaimed in delight. "Can I have a bite"

"No, we wait for everyone " Bany said and April nodded.

After the table was set, the trio sat down waiting for Adam and Brie.

"This has to be the hardest thing I've ever done ". April said.

"Helping me to set the table? " Abby asked

"Sitting in front of a set table without having a bite" April said

Abby and Bany laughed. "Do you ever only think of food?"

"Well yes ,especially when I'm Sitting in front of a table full of delicious food" .

"Alright we're here, you can eat already ". Brie said from the entrance of the kitchen.

Immediately April turned to see Brie and it seemed like time stopped. The man standing behind Brie whom she had never seen before had automatically drawn her in. He was a sight to behold. He had a resemblance to Mr McCain but there was something dark about him,something that screamed 'stay away'. He had the most gorgeous eyes she had ever seen,he was a tall and very fit looking man but even with his perfection there was lurking danger. the signs were there but this only brought a tingling sensation to her gut or was it butterflies she felt in her stomach.

"You're gawking" Brie whispered to April pulling her off her thoughts.

"That's Mr Black? " April whispered to Brie Although she knew the answer to her question, she wasn't sure if she expected an answer to her question or not,but still Brie nodded at her with a smile.

"Come and sit here, so that I can personally monitor how much pie you're eating, I can't afford to let history repeat itself " Abby said to Adam as she practically pulled him to the chair next to hers.

Adam laughed. "You'll eventually get tired"

"Now that reminds me, April is here so you shouldn't expect to get as much pie as usual. She loves Bany's pies more than you do". Abby teased.

Immediately Adam turned to face the lady Sitting opposite him who had not been introduced to him and he assumed he was April. "April" Adam said with a drawl.

April felt shivers run down her spine as she heard the drawl in Adam's voice and the way her name sounded on his lips, he made it sound so rhythmic like music to her ears.

"Mmmh she's Brie's friend and my cooking companion " Bany said as she shared the pies into plates.

"You sure do love Bany's cooking,but not as much as I do" Adam said to April who gave him a small smile.

Meanwhile seated next to Adam, Abby noticed April's nervous hands rubbing each other to cause friction.

As Bany served the snacks they ate with Abby continuously talking and teasing Adam. Making April wonder how nice it would be if they switched places.
