Moonlight Maiden

It's still a couple of weeks before i go off to college. I think to myself as i wash the dishes. I've been living alone ever since my parents died. Luckily they left me their house and enough money to get by. Weekends i spend my time working as a waitress at our local diner. And every weekend my school mates use to make fun of me. But i didn't care. I also only have one friend. His name is Josh. Josh plays for the pink team, if you know what i mean. He's a great guy, he's just hard to get in touch with these days since he got this great internship. I'm happy for him, he deserves that internship. He worked so hard for it. I finish washing up the dishes. Suddenly my stomach rumbles and i realise i didn't eat earlier. I walk to one of the cupboards and open them, only to find them empty. Shoot. I forgot to buy groceries yesterday. Guess I'll have to go before i starve to death. I walk over to the wall where the keys hang and take the house keys and my carkeys. I walk out the frontdoor,lock it behind me and head to my car. Before i climb in i check my pockets to make sure i have my cellphone and some money in my purse. I always leave my purse in my car's glovecompartment. I start the engine and listen as my car roars to life. Put her in reverse out the driveway and finally i'm off to the grocery store. I finally gpt everything i need for the house. I do a last checklist while walking the the cart when my cart hit something and i hear ouch. I look up to see a very tall, musculine man with ice blue eyes and pitch black hair. His v-neck shirt wrapped itself tightly around his body and jeans showed his leg muscles. I pull myself back to reality as i try to apologise. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean-." He put up his hand to silence me. "Think nothing of it. Just look where you're going next time." He flashes me a devilish smile and i melt. "I w...will." I stammer like a fool. He turns around walks away. That backside of his is so mouthwatering. Wait, what the hell am i thinking. I can't fall for someone i just met. But he was hot as hell though. Damn. I stand still and check my list. Once satisfied, i go to pay for my items. Once that was done i take everything to my car. Good thing i parked nearby. I get in my car and start the engine to head back home. I finished eating my food and i turn on the tv to watch some Netflix. I scroll through all the things i have and decide on watching Pitch Perfect 3. I'm almost halfway in when someone knocks at my door. I wonder who it could be, because Josh would just walk right in. I go to open the door. My palms start wseating for no reason. I open the door and right in front of me is Mr. Hotness from the grocery store. What the hell? How did he know where i live? "Hi again." He greets with a charming smile. "Hi. How did you know where i live?" I ask confused. "Oh yeah, you dropped your purse when you were busy loading your car." He hands me my purse. I take it from him. "Oh thank goodness. Thank you so much." I say relieved. "You're welcome. My name is Alexander by the way." He holds out his hand for me to shake. "I'm Roselina, but my friends call me Roe." I shake his hand and i jumped slightly at the strange electricity i felt from his hand. He smiled again. "Pleased to meet you, Roe." "Do you want to come in for some coffee or tea or just something to drink?" I offered. "I'd love that very much thank you." I open the door wider so he can come in. He walks inside. I walk towards the kitchen and put on the kettle for some coffee. He sits at the table in the kitchen and watches me do my thing. "So where are your parents?' He asks. My heart drops a bit. "They passed away a few months ago." I turn to face him and see the glint of guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry-." I cut him off. "No it's fine. You don't have to be sorry about anything." "Okay. May i ask what happened?" "Yeah. They died in a car accident. My dad died on impact and my mom died in the hospital shortly after. I was here studying for exams when the police officer knocked on the door. He told me what happened. I wasso stunned that at first i thought it was a joke, but i realised it wasn't. He said that my dad lost control of the car and it went off road and rolled." I take a deep breath. " They took me to the hospital as soon as they could. I saw my mom, she was still alive. She looked at me and the last thing she did was took my hand and with her last breath she said she loved me. And then she was gone. I yelled my lungs out. I screamed until my voice was gone and my throat hurt. I didn't understand why it could happen to me. Why did my parents had to be taken away from me. Nothing made sense." I look over at Alexander who is listening intently. "Anyway that's what happened." His intense gaze broke and he sat up more. "I'm sorry that happened to you. I can't imagine how it must feel." "Yeah. Anyway coffee?" "Yes, please." I finish the coffee and give him his cup. Our hands touched and i felt the electricity again, but i ignored it. "So what do you do for a living?" I ask. "I am the owner of several multi-billionair companies." Then i realised. "Oh my God. You're The Alexander King. And you're in my house." I couldn't belive it. He laughs at my reaction. "I was wondering if you heard of me or not." He laughs. We both laugh and drink our coffee. Once done i put our cups in the sink. I turn around find Alexander right in front of me. Our faces inches aprt from another. My heart races like it's running a marathon. Alex puts his hand on my chin and lifts up my head to meet his eyes. "Are you afraid?" I shake my head. "May i kiss you?" I'm so lost in his eyes i don't even know what to think. Without controlling it i nod my head. Our lips meet in a passionate dance. My hands move in his hair and his arms are wrapped around my waist. Our kiss deepens even more.
