"Mom great grandpa has some cool old soccer jersey" Hunter said
"Really?" Abby said
She was using the kitchen for experimenting with the indigents with Mark and her father this was there third day, they were out all day for two days, Amato took Arthur around and Mark went with Angelo, Gloria, and Emma. Abby went with Demetri, Maria was so in love with Amato that she cried when she couldn't go with them, but Amato promised he will take her to a wonderful place when they were doing helping her grandpa.
"What you going to do today?" Abby said
"Grandpa's want to take us to Napoli stadium, oh grandpa want to come?" Hunter said.
"Sure, Abby you guys good here?" her father said.
"Did you finish the icing" Abby said
"All six of them" Arthur said
"Okay, go ahead" Abby said
Abby and Mark were the only two in the kitchen until Emma asked if Mark wanted to go with her, Abby let him. She looked at the couple and smiled they were slowly getting there she thought to herself, Abby went back to work, Naples was around the beach so she did the bottom a beach style and the top would be downtown Naples palm trees and buildings.
"Looks good"
Abby turned around and saw Demetri.
"You think? I feel like there's something missing" Abby said
Abby was looking at the cake, Demetri was looking at Abby she looked so cute when she was serious, he thought to himself. He saw some frosting on her cheeks, he reached his hand up and wiped it, Abby flinch and looked at him.
"Frosting" Demetri said
"Oh, would you like a taste? I really need someone to give me honest feedback" Abby said
"Honest feedback?" Demetri said
"Yes, I really need it" Abby said
"Hmm. Hold that thought" Demetri said
Abby nodded, she looked back at the cake again, she didn't like how it was designed it looked childish to her, she took out her sketch book out and went to a plain page and began to draw out what was on her mind,.
"Abby" Demetri said
Abby turned back and saw Demetri with Aldo, she was confused.
"Honest guy in the family, well second to me and just incase you need a second judge" Demetri said
"Okay, first try the sand" Abby said
"What?" Aldo said
"The fake sand on the cake" Abby said
Aldo nodded his head, they taste the sand, then the icing, then finally the cake. Abby waited on to the side as they had the cake after a while they place the plate down.
"So?" Abby said
"The sand taste like s**t" Aldo said
"Aldo" Demetri said
He hit him in back of the head, Aldo gave him a what look.
"How so? You don't hit him he's being honest" Abby said
Aldo looked at Demetri and smiled.
"One why not use brown sugar, it has that cameral coffee like taste" Aldo said
"True but it is a bit darker then the sand I was hoping for" Abby said
"Well, can you do like a light blue clear type of jolly ranch and melt it making it look like the water made it wet" Aldo said
"Yes, I can do that but the jolly ranch will be hard again by the time they get to my table" Abby said
"Hmm...the icing tasted a bit old and dough as well" Aldo said
"Yeah, I figured but we need to keep the decoration attached" Abby said
"Oh about your decoration look like s**t" Aldo said
Demetri hit his head again.
"Demetri stop, what do you mean?" Abby said
"Well ask papa to look at his old photos, he has pictures of when Naples was in the early 50's or 60's just pictures that were past down" Aldo said
"Thank you, what else" Abby said
"The palm trees were good I liked it, maybe add some brown sugar to the brown stem, like roll it" Aldo said.
"And the cake?" Abby said
"It was good warm, but it won't go with the brown sugar" Aldo said
"I know my dad has a recipe for brown sugar pound cake my grandma use to make, I'll ask him instead" Abby said
"Anything else?" Aldo said
"No thank you. But I may need you again tomorrow" Abby said
Aldo nodded his head, Abby then thought about the candy to use.
"Aldo do you think Ooze Tube would work?" Abby said
"What's Ooze Tube?" Aldo said
"Forget it, I need to go to the store" Abby said
"I'll take you" Demetri said
Abby nodded her head.
"oh wait the cake, I don't want it to go to waste" Abby said
"I would rather trash it" Aldo said
Demetri slap his head again.
"Thank you for that Demetri. Well you can finish it then" Abby said
She walked out the kitchen as Aldo spoke in Italian and then she heard a slap, she grab her purse and waited for Demetri at the door. Abby and Demetri then went off to look for the candy Abby wanted.
"How come you never married?" Demetri said
"I'm still young Demetri" Abby said
"Right wrong question" Demetri said
"Well for your information, I did got asked out a couple of times but I was so busy with the triplets and school that I kept turning it down, no wait I did once" Abby said
"Really?" Demetri said
"Yeah, it was one time and well it wasn't our cup of tea" Abby said
"Who was the luck guy" Demetri said
He was trying to get jealous.
"Mark" Abby said
"Mark? Your assistance Mark?" Demetri said
"Yeah, it was way before he was introduce to Emma though. The date was good but the kiss was awkward" Abby chuckled
Demetri hands tighten around the steering wheel, Abby was smiling at the memory.
"Anyways, after that we agreed on just staying friends because we didn't have those kinds of feeling towards each other" Abby said
Demetri kept his eyes forward, he knows he shouldn't be mad but still her being with someone else stung him.
