Almost every night, Marla's condominium's emergency alarm goes off, turning her into a monstrous perpetually sleep-deprived yoga instructor. Let's just say her nights are more downward dog caught in a rainstorm and less Shavasana. In walks Gab, her charming but infuriating neighbor, who enjoys high-end coffee and witty banter.

The friendship, born of shared gripes, borders on romance. Marla navigates the ups and downs of her complicated life, dealing with her cynicism, healing from her broken past, and another suitor - a much more perfect guy. In the end, all Marla wants is a well-deserved rest.

Experience late-night adventures, personal rediscoveries, and the ultimate luxury of sleep.All Rights Reserved

I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing° by FallinginReverze

I was awakened by a buzz, but I don't want to get up, instead I lay still on my bed and about to dream again when I heard a THUD, I flinched at the sound. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting anyone at this early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, I am now annoyed to whoever it is. "Coming!" I yelled and started walking which took me sometime because I literally took my time, don't blame me I'm still sleepy, I opened the door to see a very beautiful woman, she has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes and pink pout lips and lastly... a body to die for. I frowned when I realized a high-school student? I can say because she's wearing a uniform. What is a beautiful high-school girl doing here knocking at my door? I asked mentally. I was about to ask her when she suddenly slipped inside my condo and sit on the couch cozily, I crossed my arms and face her still frowning. "Miss what are you doing here? What do you need?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me and smiled, a smile that can make men drool, but I'm not because I'm still annoyed. "I am your girlfriend" she said sweetly, my eyes widened in shock, I know I'm drunk last night but I don't remember having a girlfriend. I was about to say something when she stood up and face me leaning so much closer that were inches apart. "You wished for me, last night on the internet" oh crap! Now I remember! I was browsing the net when a certain ad captures my attention. "But I wished for a BOYFRIEND! Not a Girlfriend!!?" How do you handle a situation where there's NO REFUND and NO EXCHANGE?
