“Oooh, twins. That’s a fantasy I’ve never acted on.”
Jamie almost choked on her laughter.
“Well, I don’t know what to tell you about that. I don’t happen to know any twins that are available right now,” she replied.
“You got me all excited for nothing,” Luke pouted.
“You’re a dork,” Jamie said.
“Thank you. I’ve been working on adding that to my personality types.”
“Heavens to Betsy, did I start dating a guy with multiple personalities?”
“Did I start dating a woman who says things like ‘heavens to Betsy?’”
“I have all kinds of sayings,” Jamie replied.
“I bet you do,” Luke said.
He leaned over and kissed her cheek.
“I’ll see you later.”
Luke was smiling as he headed out the door. He thought about Alexis and Jamie. There was no comparison.

Jamie
Jamie was smiling as she put the next batch of pastries in the oven. She enjoyed seeing Luke and loved the playful banter. Jamie really appreciated the fact that she felt completely comfortable being herself when she was with him. He seemed to like her personality, her sense of humor, and the way that she looked at life.
Although the “l” word was not on the table right now, because it was simply too soon, she did have strong feelings for Luke and deep down inside of her, she hoped that this was going to be a long term relationship.
She set the timer on the oven when she heard the bell on the door jingle, letting her know that there was a customer.
Jamie quickly washed her hands and was about to open the door between the kitchen and customer area when Clara said, “Hello, Alexis. How can I help you?”
Groaning softly, Jamie tilted back her head and closed her eyes. This was the last thing that she needed to deal with today. She decided just to hide out in the kitchen and let Clara handle Alexis.
“I would like a large cappuccino please and one of those brownie muffins,” Alexis said.
Jamie cringed. Alexis’ voice just grated on her nerves.
“Actually, I didn’t come in here just to order a cappuccino and a muffin,” Alexis said.
“Oh?”
“I wanted to talk to you about Jamie.”
“What about her?”
“I want you fire her.”
“Why in the world would I do that?”
“Because I want you to fire her. I warned her that I was going to do everything in my power to make her life miserable because she is stepping on my turf.”
Clara laughed.
