                            {  LILY }

MODERN CITY,LOS ANGELES.

NORA MARTINS P.O.V

The scorching sun beat down, shimmering waves of heat rising from the asphalt. Sweat tricked down my face as I took the cupcakes out of the oven.

Pursing my lips,I reached the cupboard and there was nothing to use to package the cupcakes beautifully for my baby Lily.

Sighing. I pinched my nose, feeling frustrated as I searched all around the kitchen but still found nothing.

I guess I'll have to get ribbons at the store before heading to the baking store I work and also get some nice candies for her.

Lily wasn't my daughter but I loved her dearly like I would to my own.

She always came to the baking restaurant I work to get her favorite red velvet cupcakes and since then we became really close that even some people mistook her as my daughter because of how close we are for about a year now.

Sadly Lily doesn't have a mum but she always talked about her dad who she always praised as the best dad in the world.

Even without never meeting her dad,I knew he was a very good father to her and I always admired their strong relationship.

I always wanted a good dad but instead I got a beast who always made my life a living hell.

Quickly yanking my purse and the box of cupcakes,I took off out of the house making sure to lock the door behind me gently.

Striding down the street,I rounded the corner and reached the store and got the necessary items for Lily before heading towards the baking restaurant.

I finally got to my destination and found Beth the caretaker and also a friend of mine just opening the see-through glass door.

I sighed in relief. Thank goodness I came before the owner arrived cuz he doesn't tolerate lateness and always finds fault in everything I do.

"Good morning Beth"I said with a smile.

"Morning Nora, how was your night?"She asked, giving me one of her dazzling smiles.

Bad as always,I don't ever get a good sleep without having nightmares.

"It was great,Thank you"I replied with a small smile and got in greeting every workers I crossed paths with before I went to change to my working uniform.

As I walked out of the changing room and already found customers sitting waiting for their order and I kept the cupcakes in a safe spot before going over to one customer.

Time to work.

"Good morning, what can I get you?"I politely said, taking out my note and pen.

"Can I get cinnamon rolls with a bottle of strawberry smoothie please?"

I wrote that down and moved towards the next one and that was how I took the customers orders till around three at noon before I took a ten minutes break.

I was gulping down a whole bottle of water when two massive guards walked into the restaurant with small Lily holding a cute backpack and a big smile formed on my face.

"Nora"she beamed and hugged me tightly.

I always felt full and fulfilled whenever she's around me, she brings me joy.
