You know those days you just want to lay in bed, watch netflix and eat junk food yep well that's not happening for me. Here I am serving customers cakes: wedding cakes, birthday cakes, anniversary cakes and maybe funeral cakes! Cakes! ugh I'm sick of cakes. I have no life I wake up eat go work eat come home eat then go bed and this goes on and on and on....you get me.

One day a fairy godmother will appear infront of those glass doors and say "Cora your life as a princess awaits come with me."

"Erm excuse me?" Why do i hear a old lady? Shit I dazed of again.

"Sorry ma'am what was that?"

"Do you have any recommendations for a old lady like me?" She asks with a bright smile showing every wrinkle forming on her face.

"Yes the perfect one how about Strawberry Parfait: Puréed strawberries give a fruity bite as they mix beautifully within a bed of white cake. Strawberry mousse completes this flirty treat. This will lighten up your day." I reply with a smile hoping I convinced her to buy it.

"Oh my you make it sound so devine how can I resist." Yes! Mission accomplished boo ya!

I start packing the cake soon noticing her stare at me with some kind of satisfaction.
I smile not wanting to be rude as I place the ribbon on the rapping paper. I hand her the cake in return of sweet delightful money.

"May I have you name young lady?"

" I'm Cora, Cora Graysen." She answers with a smile and a nod and makes her way out.

It's now 6:45 my shift finshes at seven just a bit longer. I hate working at the counter guys try flirting with my colleague Susan she's beautiful she has blue eyes with perfectly staight blonde hair not to mention her curvy body boys die for I can't lie I am envious compared to my body.

I have black bed hair gold eyes which are covered by my brown contacts because my mom thinks people are going to stare and im going to get unwanted attention, I totally agree and finally my simple figure which i actually like, getting guys haunting you with stares isn't my cup of tea.

I hear the little bell ring on top of the door indicating a customer approaching I fix my work hat and brush apron clean ready to serve instead the dude in the suite completely blanks me and goes for Susan. Typical men. I sigh and head out only to be stopped by Susan 's soft voice.

"Cora please can you take this order I got a emergency call from my mum and..." I stopped her from wasting anymore time.

"Don't worry go quickly don't waste time." I assured her.

After she left I look back at the guy who ignored my existence.

"So what's your order sir?" Here we go again.

"What happen to the other girl?" Really does he have no manners! Am I that bad?

"She left for personal reasons so I will take your order."

"I had business with her and she just ran off, that little slut." He muttered under his breath.

"Err...?" He looked up but I could barely make his face my annoying hat kept on falling.

"I might aswell order since I'm here get me a....'Snowflake White'." He ordered as if I'm his slave. I gave a dirty look before preparing his cake order.

"I want it sent to this adress by 11:00 tomorrow got it." This guy's gonna hit a nerve of mine.

"Sorry sir we do not do delivery."

" I'll pay you triple the amount of the cake." What?!?? That's nuts personalised cakes are expensive and his paying triple that!!

"Done!" I don't care what the manager says I want that money so I can leave this country, I have crappy memories here I want to go far as possible with my mum of course.

"Good." He says as if he accomplished some sort of deal with the queen.

Wonder what tomorrow has in store for me.
