Chocolate Date-Pink starbursted toast(M)

After Electra/Cleopatra's mum/Mrs Romania found a job as a chef, her boss, who kindly insisted we call her Helen, quite often treated them as VIPs and regulars! Almost everyday, Cleopatra and her best friend Cassia Lysa and her family also got vouchers and coupons. Now they often spent their dinner times or things at Chocolate Date.

"Is that Jane Eyre?" Cassia asked, pounding over to Cleopatra in her denim jacket and leather boots. Cleopatra was too absorbed in her novel to notice and turned the crisp white page with her perfectly manicured hands. "Hellooooo?! Cleo?! Earth to Cleo!" Cassia shouted, sitting herself down on the large comfy sofa by the windows in Chocolate Date. Cleo/Cleopatra jumped, the warm hand-made chocolate-charm made by her father thudded on her chest. Smiling, Cass checked the cover of the velvet-y book. "It's the special velvet addition, Jane Eyre." Cleo half boasted, resisting the urge to burst out laughing at Cass's face when Cass stroked the cover, tracing also the silver letters. The two spent most of the evening buried in the book.

"Bo-I mean, Helen. Should we do chocolate fondues with bread to dip as our special dessert today?" queried Electra, tugging at her white apron with fake splashes of chocolate at the corner. "Uh-huh. Let's make the price, say, £10.99?" Helen replied, not looking up from the orders online. Scribbling down all the things ordered and the dates to arrive, she passed them to Electra. "Take care of these orders. Don't forget to do the fondues!" Helen said, going to find Mrs Lysa/Jenna to make some cherry wine(Jenna was better at the drinks than Electra).

"I'm gonna pop!" hissed Cassia as she sat up in the darkness of Cleo's room. "You know you shouldn't have ordered so much and besides, I won't let you be sick at my sleepover!" Cleo hissed back switching on her fairy lights. "Much be-" exclaimed Cassia before getting a cool hand clamping her mouth. Cleopatra sipped her water and sighed, wiping her hand on a tissue. Groaning, Cass clutched a cerise bowl that had cherries bordering it and thanked Cleo, who turned off the fairy lights the minute Cass got her (not really!) sick bucket.

The next morning, the girls woke up very early in the morning to silence. They crept downstairs in their pyjamas and found a post-it note saying 'got to go. Make toast for yourself. Left pink starburst cocktail in fridge. Bye'. Cleo changed into a white sleeveless top, denim shorts and a baggy pink cardigan which you tie into a bow with the two sides. Cass put on a loose pink wool top with denim shorts. Then they made toast, drizzled some icing that tasted like starburst (but Electra thought was a failure) onto the toast and poured each other a glass of pink starburst cocktail. "Toast to Electra for helping Chocolate Date's business boom!" Cleo said holding up her glass and then gulping down some. "Cheers!" the girls chorused just as the sun rose high into the air...
