The woman fell easily into conversation as Dana worked.  They mainly discussed kid-related topics.  They both had the same thought:  neither of them ever had someone they could talk to so easily after such a short period of acquaintance.

Things were going quite smoothly until they got to the point of putting the cupcakes in the oven.

Dana opened the oven door and Alice explained that she would need to change the racks in the oven so the cupcakes would be in the center.  She grinned as Dana tried looking at the various buttons on the oven to figure out how to do it.

“Let me show you.”  Alice said as she bent over near Dana and rearranged the racks to a better position for baking the cupcakes.

Dana knew Alice was talking and it was probably something she should be listening to.  But Alice had moved right next to her and she could feel the warmth of the other woman’s leg through both their jeans.  And when Alice bent over, Dana got a nice view of her cleavage before craning her head back around a bit and checking out her ass.

“…and you want to do this before you preheat the oven.”  Alice finished.  She didn’t know the effect that she had on Dana at that moment, but, she could tell she had less than Dana’s full attention.  “Dana?”  

Dana blushed and nodded.  “Right.  Oven racks and preheating.”  She took a deep breath to get back under some semblance of control.  She was so concentrated on her own efforts that she was oblivious to Alice’s eyes being drawn to her chest as it expanded and contracted.  Alice shook her head to clear it.

“Yes.  The racks will get hot once you start preheating and it is easier to move them when they are cold.”

“Got it.”  Dana said.  “Do I put the cupcakes in now?”

“No.”  Alice said with another grin.  She might be frustrated with pretty much anyone else at this point, but, she loved how earnest Dana was about trying to overcome her oven phobia.  “We need to preheat the oven.”  

It was funny to see Dana trying to set the temperature on the oven as she mumbled to herself.  Apparently Harrison had used it in the past and she was hoping it hadn’t suddenly stopped working.  She was able to get it set properly with just a little assistance from Alice and gave a triumphant smile when it beeped that it was ready.  “Now?”
