Melda was focused on arranging the dresses in the Selene's closet that she didn't hear the movement behind her. But she sure felt shocked and surprised as she felt hands go around her waist, with a head on her shoulder and a lip right there on the spot that makes her go weak.
Her body relaxed and felt comfortable in the familiar body and smell.
"I was an idiot. I'm sorry", Henry said as he pulled her closer to him. He missed her, so much and with the absence of his Siblings, he didn't to take advantage and talk to the person that makes him go crazy.
"It's okay. I'm sorry about the slap. I didn't mean it", Melda whispered to him. She missed this, she thought. Having Henry around her is what she wants and the nerve of her to break up with him.
"Where did you learn to hit like that?"
Melda chuckled, "I don't know. But was I that good?"
"You were more than good. The slap did turn me on"
Melda smiled and turned around to look at Henry as he showed that goofy grin on his face.
She put her hands around his neck and his went around her waist pulling her close.
"Turned you on huh"
"Well, it did more than that"
"I see", Melda whispered as she kept looking at his face. She knew she liked him but she might be feeling something more, something strong for him.
"So can I kiss my girlfriend"
Melda nodded as he nearly closed the space in between them but he stopped and whispered near her lips.
"I hope you still my girl"
"I can be more than that", she said as she kissed him with passion and tasted him. Kissing Henry for her is a new experience altogether. He doesn't have a pattern so everyday is a new way of kissing and it felt good.
Now, it was more than kissing, they were making out in Selene's closet which is the size of Melda and her sister's room combined. The make out session was cut short with a slam of a door and the sound of three girls shouting.
Melda's face went blank as she stared at Henry. Henry smiled.
"Babe, relaxed. I will fix it. Just stay here. I will call or text you. I know tomorrow is your free day. I want to take you out. Hope you don't mind?"
"No, I don't. Just fix this and we can talk about that later"
Henry nodded and pegged her lips as he left the closet.
He entered the room to find her sister and two friends spread across the bed laughing at a joke he probably thinks wasn't funny.
Girls, he thought.
Selene turned and saw his brother standing at the door leading to the closet. Her face gave into recognition what this is about. She got up from the bed as she walked towards the brother.
"oh no Henry. What the hell? You promised Melda is off limits in your stupid game"
Henry smiled "So? I can't say Hi to her. Oh come on. I meant it when I said she's out. I just came to say Hi", he said as he turned to leave.
"And Jennifer and Lexa, Hello", he said with his 'i want to eat you' smile as the two girls gave out one interested hi and one disinterested yeah.
He left the room as he slammed the door. Selene made her way back to the bed.
"Oh God, Henry said Hello to me. Where the hell did I sleep tonight", Jennifer screamed.
"oh please shut up", Selene said.
"So they have resumed that stupid game?", Lexa asked.
"Yeah, they have. But he promised Melda is out. And I hope so. She's cool and I don't want to change her"
Lexa sighed "Can't your brothers just settle down with one girl?"
"oh, like you did?", Jennifer asked teasingly.
"please, I want to forget about the fact that Lexa is dating a girl. Let's not talk about that", Selene cut the topic short.
Melda came out of the closet and smiled her professional smile.
"I just finished with the closet Princess. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
Selene sighed as she rubbed her temples. "The name is Selene. Please call me Selene. I prefer that. And no, there is nothing I want you to do for me. But you can have a seat on the bed and join us"
Melda hesitated. How can she just sit with them. Is that not against the rules. But with the way the princess stared at her, she quietly took a seat at the edge of the bed.
"Alright, so you've met Jennifer and Lexa. And now let's educate you on those idiots regarded as my brothers. Alright, let's start with the youngest and the cutest"
"First on the list is Jeremy, the last born and always the last in everything. He's cute and all that but he's dangerously too cute. You can talk to him and he's not toxic"
Jennifer smiled "That's true. Jeremy is quiet, sweet and too cute. I just like him"
"You like all of them", Lexa said as she flipped through her phone.
"So the second is Philip. He is the third dangerous and do well to stay away from him. If you see him run, run so far away. I don't know know how you'd do that but just do it. He is an acclaimed WOMANIZER, capitalized. Just be careful"
"That's true", Lexa agreed.
Melda sat there quietly as she absorbed all that information she knows she needs if she wants to work here for a longtime.
"Alright. Next is James. Just don't talk to him. He has an attitude, anger problem, he thinks he's too good looking and that's a lie. Just say away from him. He's toxic and also a WOMANIZER. Now, the eldest Henry. You saw him here. I hope he didn't disturb you"
No he didn't but if you count kissing my brains out as a form of disturbance then he sure did. Melda thought as she looked at Selene talk and talk about Henry.
The Princess used every bad adjective in the dictionary to describe her older brother. But the only thing that caught Melda's attention was 'the Royal meal"
"Royal Meal?", She asked.
"Yeah. It's this stupid game they like to play. They take a girl and use every means possible. Mostly charms, money and their status to sleep with her. I mean they all sleep with her. The girl might think she's playing them not knowing she is getting played. But I want you to know, Henry promised that you were off limit so you are safe. Don't worry"
"I bet he did", she whispered.
"Pardon"
"oh nothing. I want to check if help is needed in the kitchen. If you will excuse me", Melda said as she stood up and left the room.
