Chapter 16: Impressed
"Wow, Ally..." Lizzy was quite familiar with the cake; it was the exact cake she had seen in her favorite drama. She used to imagine that the smell must be fantastic, and now she could smell it for real. Suddenly, she felt hungry.
Allynna smiled at Lizzy before responding, "Yes, it’s done. Do you want to eat it now or later, after dinner?"
"Wait, what? After dinner? Why would I eat it after dinner when I can have it now? You know I like chocolate cake; of course, I want it now!" Lizzy answered her in a hurry. Afraid Ally will keep the cake away from her.
Allynna chuckled at her friend’s spoiled child act. "Alright, you wait on the sofa. I’ll serve it soon—" Allynna needed to place the cake on a pretty plate and sprinkle powdered sugar on top as a garnish.
Once she finished, she promptly brought two cake plates, one for Lizzy and one for herself. Lizzy impatiently accepted the plate from Allynna and began cutting into the cake with a small spoon.
When the spoon touched the center of the cake, the chocolate liquid oozed out from the inside. Lizzy’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Ally, is this it? Lava chocolate?" Lizzy asked. She had never imagined her best friend could make this cake, and now she looked at Ally with a newfound respect.
Allynna could only smile at Lizzy while nodding, confirming her curiosity. "How does it taste? Try it, hurry...." Allynna wanted to know Lizzy’s opinion.
Lizzy immediately tasted her cake. She was surprised by the soft texture of the cake blending with the melted chocolate as it touched her tongue. She couldn’t find the words to describe her feelings at that moment; it was simply fantastic. With her mouth still busy chewing the delicious cake, she could only raise a thumb towards Allynna.
