Melda looked disturbed as she carried out her responsibilities at her work place. She moved from one table to another serving whiles the thoughts of her mother's bill ran wild through her mind. She keeps thinking of taking an extra shift or maybe another job in order to keep up with Kris and her Mom's needs at the moment.
"Look who just decided to come around for another miserable cup of coffee", Sara said.
Melda looked at her co-worker, who was looking towards the direction of the door. And there he stood as usual with a stupid grin on his face. Melda sent a warm smile towards the third person on the list who occupies her mind most of the time. To her he is good-looking, attractive, tall, sex , manly but importantly, he is unattainable.
Prince Henry stood at the entrance of the coffee shop sending a flirty sincere smile to one of the most important girl in his life. He called her, his sunshine. but even with all the disguise, he still looked recognizable. He walked towards an empty table and took his seat.
"Go get him tiger", Sara encouraged Melda like she did every day when Henry comes around the shop. Melda approached Henry as she took a seat beside him.
"You know there are a lot of expensive coffee shops around Henry. You could just go there".
Henry turned to look at her lovingly.
"Is it a crime to come see my girlfriend or are you not my girlfriend anymore"
Melda couldn't stop blushing, it happens a lot every time Henry used the word girlfriend on her.
"Idiot, of course I'm your girlfriend. but if you keep coming around like this, what aspect of this secret relationship is going to work".
"No one is going to recognize me here, am in a tight disguise".
Melda rolled her eyes, "really? tight disguise? Sara recognized you as soon as you entered".
"Well that's your bestfriend, of course she is suppose to recognize me. What kind of bestfriend will she be"
Henry smiled at her as if he just proved a very valid point. He looked at the angel before him, and all he wants to do is to take her home and introduced her to everyone.
But in the case where your brothers have this rule of sharing everything which includes girls. He is not willing to try. Melda is very special to him, she's not like others girls and that makes her special. And he's not willing to mix her up in a stupid game. They met some few months ago, when Henry went to explore the town alone, they pumped into each other and Henry thought he has found his meal for the day. He was proven wrong when everything about the girl before him pulled him in.
"You do know, there is no need to work. I can take care of you", She stood up.
"Henry, we already talked about this, I don't want any money from you at all"
"Yeah I get it . I came to see you because I miss you so much, I want you to meet me at the apartment after your shift ends, please"
"Henry, I don't know if I can do that"
"Please"
"alright but I won't take long"
He smiled "Alright, I'm okay with it . I will see you later then"
Henry kissed her check as he made his way out of the shop leaving her smiling like an idiot....
