Anika White wants that picture-perfect love like her parents and She thought that is what she got when she met Levi King but what happens when she realizes that their love is far from picture-perfect?
Snippet
"Mister, what are you doing?" Anika said...
"Anika, Anika, ANIKA GET THE HELL UP!!!" She yelled while shaking me, that's Maia for you yelling for absolutely no reason.
"I'm up geez, what do you want?" I asked with my head planted deep into my pillow.
"I am going to look for a job and you have to go buy us some food or we are going to starve to death," she said dramatically she always acts like she is gonna die if she doesn't get a snack every two hours.
"Ok, ok can you please get the hell out," I said rolling my eyes.
"Bye, Love you, and make sure you buy me some Twix." She said while running out of my room and slamming the door.
I guess I need to get ready to go to the grocery before she kills me for forgetting to buy her lovely Twix.
I walked slowly to my bathroom to get ready. Fifteen minutes later I was dressed in my matching set and my fluffy slippers.

When I arrived at the grocery store that surprisingly was only a few blocks away from the condo, I made sure to pick up Maia's Twix along with other snacks and several packs of instant noodles cause neither Maia nor I know how to cook.
While walking back to the apartment I saw a place called Annie's Cafe. It looked so cozy and I thought it would be a good place to work on my new book and get rid of my writer's block. I dreamt of becoming a best-selling author since I was a child because writing brought me peace and it was my way of escaping it's where I created a fantasy world where everything is much better but I've not been able to come up with any new ideas lately.
Hoping that this would help me get some inspiration I rushed home to put away the groceries, took my computer, and headed straight for the cafe making sure to properly lock up the condo. When I opened the door to the cafe the scent of coffee and freshly baked pastries blessed my nostrils. Taking a seat closest to the window I began planning my next book.
Two hours later
I watched the time on the clock hanging on the walls of the cafe and saw that it was two o'clock. No wonder I was so hungry, last night was the last time I ate something so I decided to order a cup of hot chocolate. On my way back to my table I bumped into a hard chest and split my hot chocolate all over myself.
"Oh my gosh," I said looking down at my now brown outfit.
"Sorry didn't see you there," He apologized. His voice was so deep and it sent shivers down my spine.
"No, it's my fault I wasn't paying attention to where I was going," I said looking into his dark brown eyes that seemed to be staring into my soul.
"It's alright, how about I repay you by taking you out sometime?" He said with amusement in his eyes. I was shocked that this greek god wanted to take a plain girl like me on a date or out as he said.
"I-I don't t-think that this would be a good idea this is my first time meeting you," I stuttered. I felt like an idiot stuttering like this.
"Well let's get to know each other then"He replied looking straight into my eyes. I felt like I was in a trance he had this dark aurora around him and my mind is screaming at me to stay away from him but something is pulling me to him.
" Umm....ok, what's your number?" I said thinking long and hard about my answer.
"Give me your phone," He said.
After speaking and exchanging numbers with the strange man, I realized I never asked him for his name. I walked back to the condo with the mysterious man on my mind.
When I arrived home I checked my phone to see that I had a text from Maia saying that she would reach a little late and the mysterious guy at the cafe. The only reason I knew it's him, because he saved his contact as 'Cafe Guy'.
Cafe guy: Hey
Anika: Hi, What is your actual name 'cafe guy'?
Cafe guy: Levi what's yours?
Anika: Annika
Cafe Guy: It was nice to meet you, Annika.
Anika: Again I'm really sorry for bumping into you.
Cafe Guy:All is forgiven, so are you free to go out on Friday.
Anika: Yes
Cafe guy: Well I will pick you up at 7pm
Anika: Okay see you Friday.
After texting "Cafe Guy" I got up and changed out of my coffee-stained outfit and went to take a shower. I spent ten minutes singing and dancing in the shower and decided it was time to come out. I jumped into an oversized-T and pulled my hair up into a messy bun. I felt a bit tired and laid on my bed with my mind still stuck on Cafe guy or should I say Levi I fell into a deep slumber.
