Emmett came out from the back of the bakery through the pale blue door that led to his kitchen, carrying a glass tray lined with little strawberry tarts, each with a whipped cream swirl hat and sprinkle eyes. He gently slid them into the display case so their little eyes could peer out over the customers, and smiled slightly embarrassed when he caught a group of girls sitting nearby watching him and sighing with 'that look' on their faces again.
"Boss!! Hey boss, can you come over here! They won't let me serve them again!!" Emmett didn't run the shop alone, but he wouldn't hire school girls again after the last fiasco where his employee had tried to pin him in his own kitchen. A college student, a more level headed female sighed and gave her boss the usual annoyed look because those high school girls wouldn't let her take their orders again. Some gave in, but some would insist if Emmett were there that he'd take them. He moved over to the register and asked Lynne to go check on the cookies in the over while he took over, then smiled and helped the small pack of wolves.. er.. girls, get their favorite pastries.
As the line slowly moved forward, Ryu would finally find himself at the front face to face with the shop owner who always smiled. And that shop owner was sliding a little tray with Ryu's favorite pastry and a drink glass onto the counter between them. Had he noticed Ryu in the line? If he had or hadn't.. he knew Ryu's order by heart it seemed, he remembered him.
His blue eyes seemed to smile down at the pink haired male as he gently spoke. "That'll be $4.50.. I hope you have a good afternoon."
