Imagining yourself as one of the heroine in romance books you’ve read is what Shan Lee—a hopeless romantic girl could relate to. Having a boyfriend seemed to be impossible after the rejections she received from her own list of crushes. Upon reading on a romance book that her aunt sent as a gift, she found herself in unusual setting. She encountered different type of men and different type of sweet occurrences, it felt real as if she isn’t dreaming—to her at least. Was it all a dream or would it lead her to find love?

Accidentally trapped in Sweet Wonderland (HIATUS)

"Hi, let's hang out after this" Tresha said as she clings to my arms.


"No, I'm busy" I declined. Tresha pouted and pulling my arm, I sighed and looked at her. "Lady, if you think I'm not busy and I'm always free.. Sorry" and I removed her hand that is clinging to my arm.


"Fine, you aren't worthy anyway" I heard her muttered under her breath, I shake my head. It's been days since I and Daphne didn't talk. Since Tresha kept wanting me to go to her condominium to practice, I don't have time with.. 


 Wait for a second, why I even talk like Daphne is my girlfriend? 


 I saw Tresha walking up to Daphne with a smile.


"Hey, let's hang out" Tresha invited. I smiled at her, I'm not sure if she is sincere or just...


"Oh, thank God. Let hang out at cold brew" she said, "My treat" 


 "Okay. Let me just get my.." She looked behind me, "Oh, okay. Just take your time"


I nodded, smiling and she walked away, goes to her car. 


The customer filled the shop, no one seems to notice our presence as we used sunglasses to not get the attention of the customers. The feeling of being in a café again made me remember how it was so calming. I looked at Tresha that kept talking, I didn't notice she is in front of me. 


 Well, I'm daydreaming so how could I notice her? 


 "Oh, I'm sorry. What you're saying?' I asked, drinking my coffee.


"I was saying that I just don't know but after we practice. He doesn't like to hang out with me" Tresha said, pouting. So hanging out with her is I have to listen to the whinings that Nathaniel isn't much-paying attention to her? Great.


"If I were you, you shouldn't date him"


I looked up. My brows furrowed, "Excuse me?"


"If I were you, you shouldn't date him. You need to be treated better. You don't deserve him and he doesn't deserve you"


I let out a laugh and put my coffee on the table, "Oh. Why are you suggesting this to me?"


Mandie shrugged, "I don't know. You two aren't that cute together. You should be with someone else"


 Is everyone testing me? I've heard her whinings about him and also she had time with... Okay, I should stop talking about it. It's so immature of me to be jealous of someone that I don't have a real relationship with. I stood up from my seat. 


"Look, I gotta go," I said and stormed my way out. I heard her calling me out and I kept walking headed to the door.


 "You are not just cute together" her sentence repeated in my mind. 


How could she suggest that? I lift my thumb and a taxi halted. I hopped in and drove off as if I'm letting my anger drove it away. Why would I be so angry with someone when they want Nathaniel to "notice them"?  I need to calm myself. Just breathe, Daphne. 


 Just remember rule number 1 that you had with Nathaniel, I know Nathaniel is not with her but the thought of them hanging out made me "immature", I looked at my phone, no message from Nathaniel. Okay, why I'm checking on my phone? Daphne, get yourself together!


That's it, I stood up from my seat and stormed my way out. How could she suggest that? And why I'm so angry about it when in reality... Nathaniel and I aren't in a relationship.
