"MMMM I just love the smell of strawberry muffins this hour of the day" arriving at my second favourite place in the world, Chen's Delights. I have been coming to this bakery/ café a lot lately as the cakes are all just to die for. The taste and the texture of some of the cakes send your taste buds to another world almost.

"Ah good morning Chanyeol, we haven't seen you in awhile you must be struggling with the next chapter of your book" Chen the owner smiles at me while wiping down the counter. "Yeah I can't seem to move on with my story. I think I might have writers block" I let out a sigh as I glance at all the cakes wondering should I try something new. "Would you like your usual?" Chen smirks making me smile "Yeah sure why not, oh and can I have a strong coffee too, looks like I am going to need it today, actually no make it a decaf". Chen nods as he heads off to make my coffee.

Looking around the cafe it is rather quiet and seems like all the customers are sitting outside enjoying the beautiful spring weather. "Here you go, this one is on me" Chen smiles his cute smile that turns up at the edges as I say my thanks and leave. Climbing into my car and carefully placing my take away cup into my in car holder I start the engine.

I head towards my favourite place of all, my meadow I like to call it. It is the most beautiful place to relax and just day dream. There are no people around, no traffic, just pure bliss. There is a small clearing in the trees where I like to sit on the beautiful green almost sponge-like grass. You can see a bit of the busy city below. I have relaxed so much here that I have fallen asleep many times. The sound of nature is all you can hear and I have to say that is my favourite sound.

Parking my car near my favourite spot. I grab my muffin and coffee and head up through the trees to my meadow. My path along the way seems a little overgrown since the last time I was here which makes me happy meaning nobody has found it and that it's still all mine.

Reaching the clearing I take a deep breath in and my nose is filled with so many beautiful scents of the flowers and trees all around me. Taking a seat on the sponge like grass I take out my muffin from its cute little bag and peel back a small bit of its little case before taking a big bite of it. The strawberry flavour dances around my mouth making me moan out. I have never been so happy to be alone right now because if anyone heard me they would think I was up to something with the sounds I'm making. Putting my muffin sitting on its bag I take a sip of my coffee and just lay down removing my cap. Staring up at the sky seeing all the fluffy clouds so white dancing in the sky as the gentle wind pushes them I close my eyes and listen to the world around me.

Waking up I realise I had fallen asleep. Sitting up I rub my eyes as I look up  and notice the sun has dipped in the sky. "Shit how long was I asleep for?" I reach for my cap and realise it's gone. Getting up on my knees I also notice the rest of my muffin is gone and the coffee I had is laying on its side with the lid off and it's contents spilled. "That's strange I don't remember eating the rest of the muffin and where the heck is my cap? "

Looking around me I can't seem to see it. Did it blow away in the wind?. Maybe an animal ate my muffin. I hear rustling sounds coming from the bushes next to me making me turn to see if I can see anything. "Hello is someone there?" I call out to no reply. Shaking my head I decide I best head home as it's getting late.

Grabbing my rubbish I get up from the grass and brush myself off and I'm sure I can hear a little giggle almost childlike. "Is someone there, come out" I call out into the bushes again while stepping slowly towards it. As I move closer I'm sure I can see something white rush off into the distance but it's that fast I couldn't make it out. "Damn animals stole my hat and ate my muffin" I huff as I begin to move from my favourite spot. I loved that yellow cap and I really wanted the rest of that muffin. I walk back down my path towards my car.   I'm really sure someone is following me. Turning quickly and looking back the way I came I can't see a thing.

"You can keep my cap" I call into the air before I climb into my car. I really miss my yellow cap now, damn animals or kids messing or whoever took it. Starting the car I decided to head home and maybe try to update the next chapter.

Pulling out of the car park I could swear I am being watched. I stop the car and in the distance I can see something white again. 'What are you?' I squint my eyes before it rushes off again making me decide tomorrow I will come back and try to see just what that was.
