Devyn POF
We get in to Brogan's truck, and he starts the truck. "You can take me to get my truck." Brogan looks over at me, "I don't care to take you to the store Devyn. Afraid I might figure out the secret to your cakes?'' He ask with a smirk on his face, I shake my head then look out the window. "Psh no, just don't want to be a burden." I feel Brogan's hand touch the back of my neck so I look back at him, "You're no burden Devyn, I really don't mind, besides baking really isn't my thing, I can cook, but me and the oven don't get along." I laugh, "I'll see what I can do to help with that. Any suggestions on a dessert for tomorrow?" "How about a caramel pie? You haven't had one of those in a while." He says with a smile and wiggles his eyebrows. "Sure, sounds good." I say as we pull into the store parking lot, finding a spot to park without any problems. As we walk into the store I grab a shopping cart, "So a coconut cake, caramel pie, I need one more thing, something with chocolate." I think out loud, "Sounds like someone has a chocolate addiction, at least its something legal." Brogan says with a laugh walking next to me. "Who has an addiction?" I say acting like I don't have a clue, but my smile gives me away. "You silly." "Yeah, I know but the high school football team will be coming by tomorrow for the Thursday night dinner and coach swears that the German Chocolate cake is a good luck cake." I say placing butter in the cart. "What Coach thinks that a cake is the reason those boys have been winning?" "Hey let the man believe what he wants, but they haven't lost game since last fall AFTER everyone on the team ate the cake and starting the season 0 and 5." I laugh and Brogan shakes his head, "So the fate of our high school football team lays on your cake baking skills?" "Shhhh, not so loud, but yes." I say grabbing the pie crust. " SO how long will it take to bake all this stuff?" "Well I'll make one big coconut cake, 4 caramel pies, and 3 german chocolate cakes, it will take most of the night and part of tomorrow. I'll have to do the pies to night they have to chill over night then, the coconut cake will be baked tonight." I look over at Brogan, he looks surprised, "Damn Devyn! You must really love doing all this." "I really do," I smile "I couldn't have done all of this without Lex, she's been amazing and I'd be lost without her."
We make our way toward the self check out. "So your parents started Rummy's when you was in high school was it because they knew wanted a restaurant of your own?" Brogan ask handing me stuff out of the cart. "Yeah, dad always thought it was a good idea, and after retiring from the PD he wanted something to do, since mom still worked, and hired me and Lexus to work after school and weekend mornings, then after a couple months he gave us more free range with it and all we had to do is keep our grades up and stay out of trouble. Then last spring when mom retired they decided they wanted to travel so we all sat down, he signed Rummy's over to Lex and me. He's a silent partner still and we run everything by him, even though he tells us we don't have to." I say scanning the last item. "Wow, that's pretty awesome. Did y'all always want have y'alls own restaurant?" Brogan ask, placing bags into the cart, I slide my card, "Well, yeah. As kids we always played restaurant, then when we got old enough to cook mom started to teach us how to cook, then from there we started cooking all the time, creating different things, needless to say, they all have tasted some pretty awful stuff." I say with a laugh. We walk towards the door. "Has Brandyn always been supportive of it or what?" "Of course! he's always promoted anything going on, making sure to let everyone at the station know what's going on, and now that Lexus and Marcus has been together for two years, we get all of the county service men and women. Sorry, I'm rambling." I say with a smile taking a breath, as we finish loading the groceries into the truck. "OH you're fine, I asked a question and you answered!" Brogan smiles at me taking the cart. He gets back to the truck we climb in, "What about you Brogan? Living the dream being a cop?" He runs his hand across the top of his head, "I guess you could say that. As you know dad was a cop along side your dad, for years. Lucas, Dalton, and myself always played cops when we was kids, Marcus never really did like playing cop, he would tell us what we needed to do. Funny ain't it?" HE smiles at me, "Yeah and extremely lucky too, not everyone gets to live the dream the had a kid."
I sigh watching the road, "Next right." Brogan chuckles, " Dev, it's a small town, I know where your house is, plus Marcus has us to drive by and make sure everything is okay." I gasp, "You serious?!" He laughs, "Yeah but don't tell Lexus, Marcus is very protective of her, he understands y'all both now how to take care of yourselves but he loves her, and just trying protecting her." After a few more minutes of driving we pull into my drive way Brogan sighs, "Well let's get you and this stuff in the house so you can get ready for tomorrow." I open the truck door and pull out my house key, "Alrighty then." We get everything in the house and place everything on the counter. "Would you like some help?" "Thought you said you and ovens don't get along?" I say with a smile and a wink at Brogan. He walks around the kitchen island and leans back against it beside me. "Well if there's anything not involving the oven I'd be glad to assist." "You're in luck then i need 2 large pots of water to go on the stove to put the can milk into to boil to make the caramel." I smile at Brogan holing up a can of milk. "Okay where's these pots you speak of then?" I point at the cabinet that I store my pots in as I plug in my mixer,"That one there." "This one?" "Yep, they need filled about full and put on high till the water comes to a boil, then turn it down a medium-high, put the cans in then a timer needs set for the cans to be rotated every 20 minutes." "How long do they need to boil?" "Like an hour and a half and we have to make sure that they stayed covered with water." Brogan turns around and looks at me,"Okay, water is on to boil, then add the canned milk got it. So you're working on the cake right?" I turn the oven on to preheat, "Yep it will take 45 minutes to bake, then after its baked it'll sit for 10 minutes to cool, poke small holes into it then I'll pour a can of milk over it and sprinkle it with coconut, and stick it in the fridge over night." Brogan looks surprised. "This is a lot for some desserts." "Yeah, but we all enjoy them." I say as I pour the batter into the pan. "Yeah, we do." Brogan says with a chuckle taking the pan from be and rinsing it. I place the cake in the oven and set the timer, grab my measuring cups and mixer bowl to place in the sink and Brogan has dish water in the sink, he takes the stuff from me and starts washing them. "You know I could do those later." I say with a smile hopping up on the counter next to the sink. "yeah, i know just thought I'd help out a little more." He says handing me the mixing bowl, I grab a dish towel and start to dry it.
"Devyn," Brogan says after a few minutes of quietness. "Yeah?" I look over at him, he looks like he's thinking about something so I ask, "What's wrong Brogan?" "I was just thinking, why did you never say anything or make a move or something before? I overheard Lexus and Marcus talking is how I know about you liking me for so long." He takes the towel from me dries his hands then stands directly in front of me. I look down, avoiding eye contact, "I don't know, I guess I always thought why would you want to date a girl like me?" I feel him staring at me. "What do you mean D?" "Well I guess you've always been the out going type and into hanging out with a large group of friends , yet I'm happy just a couple of close friends and staying in. Plus I've always been a bigger girl, I figured I'd never have a chance with a guy like you." I see his hand move up as he steps closer to me, now standing between my legs, he touches my chin, "Look at me Devyn." I glance up, "I don't care about your size, you're beautiful just the way you are. You got that?" i nod my head then Brogan moves his hand to the back of my head and leans in to kiss me. I feel one hand go to my lower back, Brogan pulls me closer to him, I put my hands on his shoulders, broad strong shoulders. He bites my bottom lip causing me to gasp, he slides his tongue in to my mouth taking full control. He lifts me off the counter and starts towards the living room. I start to panic, "Brogan put me down, you'll hurt yourself!" He chuckles smiling against my face, kissing my cheek, "Sweetheart, you criticize yourself way too much." He takes a place on my large wrap around couch, keeping me on his lap. I go to move away but find he's got his muscular arms wrapped securely around my waist, "Devyn, you're perfectly okay right here unless you are uncomfortable." I look up at him, the grin on his face, shows in his deep brown eyes, tells me he's not lying, he's happy as can be. "Fine as long as I'm not hurting you." He gives me a quick peck on the lips and gives me a full blown smile, "No chance sweetheart. We got 25 minutes before those cans need rotated, so how about some tv?" he ask grabbing the remote from the side table. "Sounds good, I'll go get us drinks out of the fridge," I say as i stand up maing my way to the fridge, "You want sweet tea or something else?" "Tea's fine" I grab the tea out of the fridge and two glasses then pour the tea. I make my way back to the living room, hand Brogan his drink and go to sit on the cushion next to him, but he grabs my wrist and pulls me close.
Well there it is, the long part i've picked over and second guessed a million times. Now to follow up on this. Any comments are welcome, and if you like this chapter give it a like :)
