Butter Face

Cakes by Coco

Skinny jeans: Um, hi! [Flutters. Flares.]

Cake: Hey, sis. Looking tight. Wanna piece o’ me?

SJ: Rrrrr, you look rich. And you’re cut, too.

C: You know [puffing layers], I’m by Coco, your absolute favorite.

SJ: Chanel?

C: Uh, no. Cakes by Coco. As in Corey “Coco” McDonald. Don’t remember? We met back in college, Jefferson City, Missouri.

SJ: [Shrinking.] Buttery Butter Caramel? Freshman fifteen?

C: That’s right. Started making myself available on campus to make some, um, dough. And the kids? They ate it up. So now I’m in Atlanta, spreading the love with butter chocolate, juicy lemon, and double chocolate. Maybe you know my friends? Like Mary J. Blige, the Hawks, and the Thrashers. [Dribbles caramel.] Oops.

SJ: Ew. [Tastes.] Oooh. [Seductive finger swirl through caramel.] Where can I find you later?

C: Stone Mountain, baby. Or I can come to you, if you invite some friends over.

SJ: [Busts seam.] Sweet.
