When the time was 06:30 pm, Alexa was sitting in the chair in front of the dressing table while Gea stood beside her while braiding a lock of hair on the left side, while the right side was neatly braided. The beautiful girl was already wearing a colored knee-length dress yellowish white with blossom flower motifs with long sleeves and there is an accessory ribbon at the neck. she has also polished her face with light make-up and sprayed apple-scented perfume on her body.
"Alexa, what did you dream about last night?" she asked.
"I don't know ... I feel like I'm dreaming but I forget what dream it was," Alexa replied as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
"You are very lucky, and I can never understand why the person who brought you to the room.. in the end also became your boyfriend... and you said that he was a prince hahaha," Gea said with a laugh when she remembered Alexa holding Melvin from coming home and confusingly calling him "My Prince".
"I never thought that I would be his girlfriend, even his face never appeared in my dreams," said Alexa with a face that looked uncomfortable.
Gea sighed, then tied Alexa's right side hair which had been braided backward together with the left side hair which had also been braided. "Ughh… you are so beautiful."
"But I'm embarrassed... I feel I shouldn't accept his request to be my boyfriend. his family must be very rich, from the elite. I'm just a grain of dust ..." Alexa said frustratedly. She was nervous. Never dated, once dated a very rich man and immediately invited to dinner with his family. Oh my God, she felt like she just wanted to pass out so she couldn't attend that dinner.
"Hmmm..." Gea sighed, looking at Alexa from the mirror while stroking her hair to make it neat. "You have to be optimistic. Not all rich people look down on girls like us. who knows, the Melvin family is a typical open-minded family. So, you don't need to feel inferior. You ... we, deserve good treatment as long as we act well too,'' she said sagely.
Alexa hesitated, then looked up to the side to look at Gea. "But you are not good, you are dating someone's husband."
"Ah, I'm not sure about that... Just dating, not getting married. It's not a big problem and a fatal mistake," said Gea then turned to walk towards the hanging shoe rack. she took several collections of her high heels which are quite high from 12 cm to 15 cm with various color and style variants.
Alexa got up, turned to the wardrobe where there was a rectangular glass on the door. she looked at her reflection in the mirror and smiled crookedly, admiring her beauty with Gea's hairstyle, and the dress she was wearing was simple but elegant, very elegant and she looked cute.
"Well, because Melvin is tall, you have to balance yourself with him by wearing these high heels," said Gea as she handed him cream-colored high heels with a height of 13 cm.
Suddenly, Alexa rolled her eyes. "Gea, I can fall right away if I wear high heels like that. I just use mine!" she said.
"I know, all your heels are not high enough. You won't look matched when you walk beside Melvin. You look like a midget or even like his sister," said Gea, cursing the fate of Alexa, who is only 160 cm while Melvin is 180.
Ting tong ... ting tong...
Gea put a smile on her lips when she heard the bell ringing then glanced at Alexa with seductive glances. "Yuhuuuu... my prince has come."
"Geaa!" Alexa was annoyed but a red hue appeared on her face like a ready-to-eat boiled crab.
"I'll open the door for him, and you choose the coolest heels and don't make you look midget next to him," said Gea with an amused smile then walked out of the room into the living room.
Check...
Gea smiled kindly at Melvin who looked so cool wearing tight black jeans combined with a white t-shirt and a colored jacket that matched the pants and smelled the scent of Woody, how to add to his charisma.
"Is Alexa ready?" Melvin asked with a straight look.
"Eh ... she's getting ready in the room. waiting for a while," said Gea, then stepped back, inviting Melvin to come in, but at that moment Alexa came from the living room.
"I'm ready," said Alexa with an uncomfortable look because she was wearing cream-colored 13 cm high heels. she also wore a small pink sling bag that she always carried with her when traveling with Gea.
Melvin was silent, looking at Alexa from the bottom up until he realized his mouth was saying, "so gorgeous ..." and the one being stared at finally bent his face in shame and awkwardness...
"Em, you better not use this bag. You look like a teenager going to the mall," said Gea, approaching Alexa.
"This is good, Gea. I don't need to change," said Alexa with a frown.
"Leave it like that," said Melvin then glanced at his watch. "We'd better go now. My family is waiting at home," he continued flatly.
Hearing about the Melvin family who was waiting, made Alexa's guts shrink even more. she imagined how Melvin's parents would respond when they saw her as their son's lover who looked handsome and so perfect as an ideal husband.
"Come on, honey," said Melvin, approaching Alexa and then holding her hand.
"Eh... yes."
with a sense of awkwardness Alexa finally walked out of the apartment led by Melvin. 'Actually, is this a real courtship or is it just a charade or a play that ends in real? he holds my hand when no one is around.'
"What time are we going home?" Alexa asked without looking up. her body was shaking because her heart was beating fast, occasionally glancing at her hand which was still gripped by Melvin.
"Alexa, we're just about to leave why are you asking when we're going home?" Melvin asked back while glancing at Alexa.
"I ... I just want to make sure I don't come home too late because tomorrow I have to go back to work," Alexa replied nervously because Melvin's glance seemed to make her heart beat faster. His blue eyes are so beautiful to look at her.
"I make sure you won't be home too late," said Melvin.
Brett... drettt...
Suddenly his smartphone which was in his jacket pocket rang. Melvin was forced to let go of his hand on Alexa then took the smartphone and saw an incoming call from his mother.
"Hello, Mom?"
"Have you picked up your girlfriend yet?" asked Elena over the phone.
"Yeah... I'll be home in ten minutes," said Melvin then walked out of the elevator followed by Alexa.
"Good... Dante has arrived here. Mommy is waiting for you and your girlfriend to start eating together."
"Yes, Mom. Then I'll turn off the phone first."
"Yes, son. Be careful on the road and take good care of your girlfriend."
The phone connection is lost. Melvin put his smartphone back into his jacket pocket and looked behind him where Alexa was walking slower than him, even looking very uncomfortable wearing those high heels, making him smile amused, and finally decided to wait for her while staring at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Alexa groggily, because Melvin smiled at her while she was having a bit of trouble walking. High heels are too high.
"If you're not good at wearing high heels like that... you better wear normal shoes," said Melvin casually.
"I don't want to look too short next to you ..," Alexa said until she continued to follow Melvin's pace, which was too fast that she couldn't keep her balance and almost fell if Melvin didn't hold her.
Melvin grabbed Alexa's waist who was holding on to his shoulder. They stared at each other for a moment, admiring each other's charms until they didn't notice a few passersby glancing at them.
