Lyra POV       My alarm clock rings and I frowned when Mr. Sun hit my face by its shine. I opened my eyes slightly, didn’t move any inch of my position, I looked to my new bedroom and a smile tug on my lips.   I loved my new bedroom. It’s bigger than before.   The color of the wall was white, and the things were already fixed and place to their position, making my smile widened. The thick dark blue curtains are hanging on my glass window that when you open it, the beautiful sight of the pool and garden of the house was the thing that you immediately see with perfect adoration because of the view to release your problem.   I can also see the Wood’s house in the back which is closed to us. So I close my curtains because I saw a guy bedroom almost opposite on mine, and I guess he was their son. If I opened my curtains, he will see my bedroom fully and I need it also to be close so that I can change properly without him peeking his eyes.   I got out on my bed, and I started to walk towards the curtains to fully open it.   A wide smile formed into my lips and stretch my hands as my daily routine.   Yawning, I almost scream when a creepy Greek god standing opposite to my window inside of Rowena’s house, staring at me intensely. His perfect jaw line is clenching a little, his perfect pointed nose, his blue eyes who is staring at mine, his pink kissable lips that I want to-nah, other girls want to kiss it and a perfect built body who is standing in front of his window.   Something rush towards my vein while I’m staring at his appearance but ignore that feelings. The guy is wearing a gray pants and white t-shirt that I almost, ALMOST see his perfect ton abs.     GEEZ, WHY WOULD I THOUGHT LIKE THAT? BAD LYRA.   My heart skips a bit and the feeling that I felt a while ago became stronger that my body wants to get close to that boy to feel his warmth but I ignore it again.     What was that?     He keeps on looking at me and I awkwardly stare to his blue eyes that covered a little by his blonde hair. His face was mixed with Colton and Rowena, but all of his feature was like Colton. A more handsome version of Colton.   To be a good neighbor, I smiled at him.   Yes, I smile. I am a good person, right? I should smile.   My eyes averted to his when Levi opened my bedroom door, grinning like an i***t. “What?”   “No good morning, sis?” He grins again, walking towards me.   “I don’t f*****g care. What do you want Levi? Don’t tell me you’re going to annoy me again. Not today, brother. Not this morning.” I crossed my arms giving him a glare.   “Relax,” He putted his hands up assuring me he won’t do anything stupid today. “Morning, sis.” He kissed my forehead but I am still glaring at him even though I saw it sweet.       “Just spill, Levi.”     “You have no fun. I’m being sweet here. Can I have a good loving kiss from my sister? To make it fair.” He pouts, but I smack his lips making him glare at me.     “Just spill already.” I kissed his cheek, as he grins at me before he sighs.     “Mom wants us to go to her café which she pleaded me to be a waiter to help you.” He groaned, making me laugh.     GOOD ONE, MOMMY. I’LL MAKE HIS LIFE LIKE HELL.     “Sure. Wait me in 30 minutes, I just need to take a shower before we go.” I said and he groaned again.   “I know what you’re thinking, Lyra. Stop it. I’ll go to shop new clothes once I deliver you to the café, want me to buy you some? I know your size.” He winked. I chuckle, kissing his cheeks and shove his body away from me.     Seeing him walking towards the door I answered him, “Yea. Get me something…you know what I want.” Grinning at me, he started to open the door but stop him, “Don’t forget to take Fred a bath today!” I exclaimed as he narrowed his eyes at me.   I chuckle to myself and give him a little wave when he left the room, when I see his presence gone. I look to the window again, seeing the blonde haired boy again and I think he is watching us. I saw him clench his jaw in anger and his arms form into a tight fist.     IS HE ANGRY?     Why though?     He didn’t dare to look at me again instead, he just walked away to his window and open one of the door that I assume it was his bathroom.     WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?     Shaking my head, I do need a shower too.       * *     My mom’s right. Her café was bigger than before. The brown comfortable chairs matching the color of the tables was arranged in the good place, the colorful nature design on the cream walls were attached in the right wall with different kinds of picture on it. There are also huge glass windows with good view outside that you can meditate for a while to remove things and problems in your mind.   Besides the glass door, the big green board was glued in the wall announcing the daily main foods. The names and pictures of the stuffs were also attached knowing the other information about of them.   Two long counters are standing in the left side of the building, counters with milkshake machine and ice cream machine in the back. The middle of the hallway in the counters were their way of the kitchen place where all the chiefs and people who help them to cook foods that they needed to serve.   It doesn’t look like a café. It looks like a fast food restaurant.   I smiled in adoration when I’m thinking of my mother since he managed to ran this café so good and nice even if they’re too far from this place.   “Hello, Miss Summers.” The curly brunette girl greeted me when she saw me standing opposite the door.   I looked at her left chest, a name tag pinned on her shirt and I smiled.     “Hello to you too, Trisha.” I greeted back.     “Mrs. Summers called a while ago and told me to guide you from everything you needed to know. Do you want to start it now?” I roamed the place first before nodding.   “I can’t wait to work here.” I said, smiling widely at her.   “Your mother was right. You really like working and handling a business in your such a young age.” She said motioning me to follow her.   A little blush rushed to my cheeks and I followed her. My father taught me to handle his work before when I was 14. He taught me how to take papers, money, designs and taking things properly especially in how to arrange money in a journal. Honestly, when I was young I’ve been dreaming to have my own business. So that I meddlesome my dad’s paper when he was busy and resting in their room. Reading their files and when I’ve got interested, I started saving my money when my father giving me much money for my allowance, and started to manage it properly until my mom gave me her old bank account. In my early age, I told to my parents that I want to work to my mother’s café. At first, I thought they’ll disagree but they didn’t. They are actually surprise and shock about it and agree. So in my age 16, I handled my mother’s café when they were out of town for their business trip.   “Is she really talks that much about me?” I asked and she nodded.   “Every time she changed the table’s place, blanket’s color, adding more furniture and adding more colors in the wall, she always remembers you about how good your ideas and how good conductor you are.” We arrived in the other hallways which I presume their way of locker’s room and the owner’s office.   She opens the black thick door, my eyes landed to the glass table and comfortable chair in front and in the side was the mini sofa with big flat screen TV.   NICE.   “This will be your office from now on, Ms. Summers.” Trisha said.   “Call me Lyra, I’m not used being called too formal by my workers.” I said and glance to the room.   In 30 minutes being with Trisha, she told me about the salary, gain, and others, those who easily to do.   Both of us agreed that all of the workers should not treat me too formal, I like them to treat me like their friends. I also wrote a new schedule to everyone.   Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, all of us will be working together. In Tuesday and Thursday, I putted some named in the list who will be in the morning or in the afternoon.   I told her also to tell to everyone that we will be going to close temporarily in Saturday because we need to decorate the curtains that I order.   I WONDER IF MY BROTHER WAS BISEXUAL. HE LOVES TO SHOP THAN ME.     Looking to my wrist watch, it’s already 1:16 in the afternoon. Maybe I should go out to have some ice cream in the ice cream shop. Maybe I could also explore the place.   “I’ll be out for an hour.” I told to Kian who is wiping the counter’s table.     “Of course, miss. Be careful.” He smiled and I nodded my head before going out.   A sigh escape to my mouth when I feel the fresh air hits my face making my mouth parted for smile. Walking to nowhere, I see an ice cream parlor nearby the café and walk towards the place to order my favorite flavor of ice cream.   It’s been a while since I ate ice cream. My parents said we need to avoid too much sweets and salty foods like junk foods to have a healthy body and lifestyle. They sometimes bought salty foods after they got in the grocery, my brother also bought lots of chocolate that I wanted but controlling myself to not eat much.   The bell rings from the door as I opened it and an old woman smiled at me when she saw me walking inside. Smiling back, I didn’t care about the few people inside. My feet drag me in the counter with a smile on my face.   “Hello, Miss. What can I get for you?” The woman asked who is in her late 30’s and smiled at me.     “Can I have extra-large chocolate oreo ice cream?” I asked.     “Pardon, Miss. But all we have is a small cup of chocolate oreo, we’re already out of stuck and that was the last one.” She said and nodded my head.     “It’s alright, just giv-“     “GIVE ME THE LAST CUP OF CHOCOLATE OREO.”     A deep voice cuts me, standing at my back because I felt his presence.   My jaw clenched, when his words reverberated in my ears.   DID HE JUST SAY-   Slowly, I turned my heels to look towards the guy who said that and start to tell him that the ice cream was mine. My jaw slightly dropped when I saw his face.       He’s-
