I hope readers like this story. I have been a silent reader for the past four years, and suddenly something inside me told that I should try writing. Please ignore if there are any grammatical mistakes and I will try my level best to entertain you people :)

I have been working in this cafe for the past four years, and I don't know how I ended up here. I had my life planned and wanted to become a marketing head but one night changed my life ahead. I was 18 and drunk and totally wasted because of my cousin Elisa. I totally don't regret it because I have got my daughter Nathalie. She is three yrs old, and my whole world revolves around her. I live with my mom, dad, and a little sister. My father worked as a clerk in a firm, and my mom would babysit in our neighbor's house. The cafe job didn't pay me well, but it was enough for us to live.

Let me introduce you to my family. My dad's name is Ben Collins and has been working as a waiter in Diamond hotels since last three years and before that he used to work in a small firm which was shut down as it was in losses. My mom's name is Julie Collins, and she is a very simple woman. She is babysitting our neighbor's children, and my sister Sophie is in school. My daughter Nathalie is three years old, and she is the sweetest kid. I can't even imagine my life without that cutie pie. She is a very active and naughty child. She has blue eyes which she didn't inherit from me, but I know it's from her father and is a blonde just like him. She has a birthmark on her hip which is strikingly different, and it intrigues me. I too have birthmark nearby left breast which in the shape of heart. I am 5'7 and have rosy white skin which I am proud of and have inherited it from my mom. Even at this age, she is beautiful, and I can say that she has aged gracefully. I am thin but not too skinny with curves in the right places. After Nathalie's birth, I was out of shape, but it took me some time to get back to normal.

My parents were shocked and horrified when I told them about my pregnancy four years back. They were asking me each and every detail about that night but seriously speaking I was too drunk to remember anything. My mom and dad supported me in my decision of keeping the baby even though I did not know the father's name. I know it was stupid of me to sleep with someone whom I had met that night, but he seemed different than other guy's, and I still remember his face.

I have a childhood friend Joseph who is very supportive and an active person. His father Stuart Portman is a manager in the same hotel where my dad works, and his mom is a homemaker. Joseph has studied law and worked in a law firm in our city Greenville. My cousin Elisa lives in Chicago with my uncle John Collins and aunt Martha Collins. She is working in Shedd Aquarium as an aquarist, and I love her job. She directly interacts with marine life and also gives presentations to the visitors. She keeps on insisting that Nathalie and I have to visit her sometimes, and I also have been saving money for that trip. Chicago is the place which I haven't visited after that night, but I could not let my fears drag me back to the past.

My life was all good for the past four years, but suddenly something happened which changed my life. I lost my job!!!
