I slightly shook Anika's shoulder to wake her up. It was already around 9 in the morning. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was to look at my face, before giving me a smile.

I smiled back and walked into the bathroom to freshen up. When I came out, Anika was holding my sweatpant and a shirt, I raised an eyebrow, but she ignored me and ran into the bathroom.

Entering the kitchen, I looked around, trying to figure out what we could have as breakfast. Minutes later, Anika joined me and started mimicking my actions. I just glared at her. She grabbed some flour and started mixing it together with some other ingredients.

“What are you doing?”, I asked her clueless. She looked at me and rolled her eyes, then she grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. My eyes widened and Anika giggled.

After another good ten minutes, I realized she was making croissants for me. I just stood there with my cheeks burning. Anika looked at me amused and I suddenly wanted to vanish.

Once they were ready, I set the floor for us and she brought over our breakfast. We sat there together, watching Tv. Anika was really into cartoons. Which wasn't shocking at all, given the fact that her mental age was five.

I did the dishes, while she cleaned the apartment for me. When we were finally done, Anika smirked my way and I knew that she was onto something. I closed my eyes in extreme horror.

“Let's go biking”, she screeched and I covered my ears. My poor heart couldn't take all this torture. Last night I had promised her to do everything she wished for. God, if I knew what I was getting myself into!

We walked into the garage and I took out my bicycle. Unfortunately, I only had one, which made Anika very sad and she started pouting. I grabbed her hand and made her sit on the rear rack.

She put her hands around my waist and suddenly, I felt very ticklish, but I chose to stay quiet. When we were finally driving, Anika tightened her grip around me and I chuckled. It must've been her first time.

“Are you sure this is what you really wanted to do?”, I asked her and she rested her head against my back, while shaking her head in an agreement.

We drove around for quite a while and soon she started losing it. It would've been a lie if I said I didn't enjoy her being close to me, because as soon as she let go, I started missing her touch.

“I want to go to the park”, she yelled and I pressed my finger against my ear. She really was way too loud.

“Hush, no need to scream. I can hear you perfectly fine”, I retorted and Anika hit me. I started driving faster, which made her bump her head against my back.

“Stop being so rude”, she mumbled and I muffled a laugh. When we were there, Anika started running around, while I just stood there, staring at her.

At times I felt awkward for Anika. She never felt embarrassed, so I took the job of feeling awkward for her. She turned around to look at me. Seconds later, she was standing in front of me, tugging at my arm.
