My Not So Real Husband

CHAPTER 1

TARA'S POV
_______________________________

"This happens every single
time I'm drinking.
Like I can finally hear
the thoughts I'm thinking."
I mumble this song while walking towards the cafe where I work.

"And it's oh so clear
Make a beeline to the bathroom.
And I look into the mirror saying."
I nodded along the lyrics blasting through my ear buds.

"Fake bitch, fake bitch
Running from her problems
But she makes it look so good
When she ignores them."
Completely lost in my own world, I stumbled upon a rock which we made me look up and my eyes connected with the green eyes of a guy standing a little distance away from me and grinning at me while copying my moves.

And yes, I was moving my body artistically, well more like stupidly dancing along the song.

I smiled abashedly at him before full on grinning and continuing with my song.

And about ten minutes later, I reached the cafe.
It's a cafe plus a bookstore. And I love that place. It's so peaceful and relaxing and calm. The atmosphere is so calming and soothing. The beige interior gives me a sense of tranquility.

My boss, Marie is also a really sweet lady with her light brown hair and grey aged eyes, she's the best.
She is like a mother figure to me. Always taking care of her employees. She would help us whenever we are in a problem,no Matt what, she would understand when we couldn't work or had to go off home early and in return, we give her our best.

We try to keep as many customers as we could to keep coming to our cafe.
And yes, "our" cafe because that's what Marie has taught us.

She taught we are a team and it is "our" place because unless we don't relate to the place of our work, we can't give our best with full dedication.

We don't even feel like an employee or worker there. It feel like a family, a strong family bond.

On reaching there, I greeted Marie and all my friends working there.

"Hey, dumbhead, again late." Daniel commented flicking my forehead. On looking up, I found pale blue eyes gazing at me with amusement shimmering inside. He takes advantage of his tall, muscular body.

Yes, yes, I was late but just 15 minutes.
I slept in late.

I just couldn't stop binge watching "Extraordinary You". God! I love that drama and I love "Haru" more.

He's just so damn cute. I can't help but smile when I think of him. His hair, his eyes, his lips, his nose, everything is so damn beautiful about him.

I just.... can't...like, uhghhh....why did he has to be so cute?!

Shaking me out of my thoughts, Daniel flicked his fingers in front of me.

"Yeah." I just gave him a sheepish smile.

And he playfully shook his head at me.

On reaching at my counter. I carefully placed my bag aside and wore an apron.

Oh, maybe I forgot to tell. I'm actually a College student. I'm pursuing fashion designing. I love creating new designs.
I've been creating them since I was in school. I just didn't like sewing.

It's like I can draw, I can shade, I can colour but I can't for the love of God sew or stitch. It scares me. A lot.

But I need to do it. It's my second year.

"You know he has the hots for you." Emma, another friend of mine commented referring to Daniel. She is a blonde beauty with her brown eyes and lean figure.
I wonder how she manages to maintain a figure like that.
