Mated to the Alpha Twins

Chapter 38

Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 38 – Resisting the intense urge to purchase one of everything, I ordered myself a blueberry muffin and something called a bear claw.

I sat down at one of the shiny looking booths, the striped pink and white seats gleamed merrily. Everything in the bakery looked brand new, from the shimmering booths to the large ovens peaking over the counter.

I couldn’t help but watch the duo running the counter in silence. It was clear they were related, most likely brother and sister. Each had the same shade of sandy blonde hair, the same full yet pouty lips. The girl was slim with curves in the right places, looking out of place in the bakery. I would’ve expected to see the girl on the cover of a magazine, not at some bakery. The two of them rushed from counter to oven, to prepping tray, to cash register. Each a whirlwind of energy and determination, as I continued watching in silence.

I had long ago finished my muffin and bear claw, wiping the sugary goodness from my fingers with a napkin. The heavy crowd eventually died down, people leaving the bakery in large clusters. Once the two siblings were no longer overwhelmed with customers, I approached the register.

“What did you need, sweetheart?” The guy turned, his eyes a startling shade of blue. For just a second, my heart leaped in my chest. The word ‘sweetheart’ bounced around in my head, only a different voice was speaking.

“I–” I stammered, losing my train of thought as the image of two handsome face’s popped into memory. “Are the owners of this place hiring?”

“We are the owners girl.” The blonde girl emerged from the back, a smear of flour coating her shirt. Her cheeks were flushed from running around the bakery, yet none of her hair fell out of place.

A blush creeped along my cheeks, staining my skin as I looked at the girl. They looked around my age, most likely a few years older than myself. They both seemed pretty young to own a bakery in town.

“Our parents own a few shops down the street. My sister wanted to open a bakery. At the time she couldn’t make cookies without burning them.” The guy snickered, giving his sister an amused look.

“Last I checked, you couldn’t either.” The girl poked her tongue out, flashing her brother a hard look. “Nearly burned the shop down last time you tried.”

“I’m better with the register.” The guy grinned at me, shrugging indifferently.
