Mellie blushed. “Well thank ya sugar.” She was glad that they had met that morning of the parade and even more that Bex wasn’t just a fantasy or. dream or some ill fated one night stand. The hope and the possibility that sprung from her walking through the bakery door filled Mellie with the kinds of butterflies she hadn’t really ever had before, and that’s what had her simultaneously nervous and thrilled. As she cut two slices she let Carl know she was gonna be done for the day so not to bug her anymore and she carried the two plates over to the table Bex had chosen. “Here ya are honey. Now I will not get my feelin’s hurt if ya don’t like it so please don’t feel like ya gotta.” 

Bex have the other woman a small smile as she came over with the pies. She gave a little shake of her head as she looked over the pies. “Nah, don’t go getting all humble on me now. Best pies in California right?” she said, an eyebrow cocked upward, before taking a bite. And it truly was one of the best things Bex had ever eaten. The crust practically melted in her mouth, and the flavors were phenomenal. “Holy shit,” Bex hummed as she chewed, before smiling at Mellie. “This is... amazing. And you should know I don’t bullshit. This seriously one of the best things I’ve ever had. You got skills, Bumblebee.”
