Picture Perfect Boyfriend's Formula

((P.S. Just in case, if someone read the previous chapter about 3-4 hours after being published, I changed the main character's name (again :")). I have changed her name back to Estella. Don't get confused, the other characters' names are the same =) ))

Five days after my and Noah's two-year dating anniversary, I catch him cheating on me with one of his female colleagues. On the same bed we slept together for the first time.

Heart-shattering, I know.

I curse him, storm out of his apartment and never look back. Noah is out of my life for good.

Though I stay strong all the way back to my place, once inside the safety of my flat, I break down and call Archer.

Just like every time I go through a breakup, he drops everything and rushes to me.

Thankfully, he refrains from saying the famous old words "I told you so." Instead, he spends the entire day with me, doing all the things he knows I love, to lighten my mood.

Like taking me to my favorite ice cream parlor and getting all of my favorite flavors and ending up helping me finish it. A girl cannot eat ten scoops of ice cream by herself. Because carbs, a word the majority of men are probably unfamiliar with thanks to their high metabolism. He even endured binge-watching sappy romcoms with me.

Archer is officially the matchless greatest best friend of all time.

Sierra takes his spot the next day and I call the office despite the rising tension and rivalry of TRPC and having loads of coding left to do, I take three days off.

I know! Archer will probably win... and I'll lose, again.

But I'm in no mood for caring for that.

I was so damn ready for my happily ever after with Noah, and now I have to start all over again. Just the thought tears me up.

Why can't I find a guy who loves me, cares for me, respects me, and will stay around through thick and thin? Someone who I can live with forever, and share a happy life.

Ugh, men suck.

Why don't they learn from the male main characters of famous romance novels?

Fine, if romance is too soft for their stupid, egoistic male brain, why don't they read books like A Court Of Mist and Fury and learn from Rhysand?

My man is the ideal boyfriend... well kinda, he did a couple of stupid things in the book, but the point is pretty clear, and it's a good place to start from.

I can't spend the rest of my life reading romance novels and watching romance movies to fill in the void inside of my heart for Christ's sake!

I want what every happily-ever-after story has... and I'm twenty-four already... what if it'll be too late and I won't find anyone?

Will I spend the rest of my life alone and die alone?

Oh my God! Please no! I cannot let that happen!

When I return to the office, I have a pile of work awaiting me, and my depressed brain refuses to work efficiently, leaving no room or time for me to get to preparing my code for TRPC.

Half of me is mad at Noah for choosing this time of the year for cheating on me. Like dude, you know the biggest event of the year for programmers is just around the corner, yet you screw someone else precisely during this time!
