Episode 5

SPG

Christina p.o.v

I laughed as I looked at Mercedes blushing furiously.

I thought she said she didn't liked this guy, that he was a stranger and all that.

Why then is she blushing?

Huh?

I didn't miss the look on Santiago's face.

He was clenching his jaw slightly.

I knew it!

He liked Mercedes.

Oh my goodness!

This girl have two men wrapped around her finger and she didn't even know about it.

I shook my head.

"Sweetie, you change your clothes, I will write today's menu" I told her.

She nodded and rushed to the lockers for changing.

I wrote the menu and started preparing for my regular milkshakes.

Milkshakes are my speciality.

Henry was preparing our daily cakes.

Mercedes had already started setting chairs and wiping the tables.

I looked over to see Santiago looking at her fondly.

I shook my head and kept working.

Alessandro p.o.v

I was sitting in my office when Leonardo came carrying the file I told him to bring.

He smirked and gave me file.

"Here is your information." he said.

I thanked him and took the file.

"I hope you are serious about this." he said.

"I am. You have no idea. " I said smiling.

He showed me thumbs up and left.

Now let us find more about my darling sweetheart.

I opened the file.

I cooed at her adorable photo in file.

Name - Mercedes Mason

Age- Twenty-one

Job- working at cafeteria as a waiter.

Hobbies- cooking and reading

Family- mom died due to brain tumor. Ran away from her step dad due to maltreatment.

Best friend - Christina

Lives with her best friend in a shared apartment.

Relationship status- single.

I closed the file smiling knowing she was single.

I clenched my jaw in anger when I remembered about her father.

I want to kill that fucker for even daring to lay his stupid hands on such a beautiful soul.

How can someone hurt such an angel?

I suddenly had the urge to meet my sweetheart.

I have to see her.

She must have gotten the flowers I sent to her this morning.

I want to see her beautiful smile.

It will make me feel better.

I decided to visit her cafe and surprise her.

I called Leonardo and Tristan on a conference call to ask if they will like to come along.

"I am coming, I could use some refreshing drink right now." Leonardo said.

"Me too. "Tristan agreed.

We decided to meet at the parking lot as our office are situated in a different place but the parking lot is common.

We got into Leonardo's car 'Bugatti Veyron' as my baby was in the garage for repairing.

Mercedes p.o.v

The cafe is pretty crowded as usual and I am serving customers.

Suddenly I felt a tugged on my dress, I looked to see an adorable boy looking at me with big cute eyes.

I bent down to his level,

" What can I do for you sweetie? " I asked him softly.

"Can I have those please? My mom told me to ask you." He asked me with a pleading puppy eyes pointing at doughnuts placed on counter.

I giggled and cooed at his cuteness.

The cafe bell dinged indicating the arrival of new customers but I thought Christina can handle them.

I patted his little cutie's head.

" sure sweetie." I handed him two doughnuts.

He smiled and kissed me on my cheeks and ran to his mom.

I giggled and headed to the counter.

Alessandro p.o.v

We reached the cafe and sat down at tables.

My eyes immediately started searching for my sweetheart and I saw the most adorable sight, my beautiful sweetheart talking to a cute boy and giggling.

I feel my heart fluttered at that interaction between them.

That little boy kissed her cheeks when she handed him doughnuts and ran away.

Mercedes giggled and headed to the counter with my eyes following her.

"Alessandro!" Leonardo called snapping a finger in front of my face.

" Stop staring at her like that, you will scare her. " Tristan said as he smirked at me.

I scoffed and hit the call bell on our table.

My sweetheart immediately leave the counter and started heading to our table taking her small notepad from her pocket.

I'm sure she hasn't noticed me yet.

She reached our table and our eyes met.

She gasped and her eyes widened like she had seen a ghost.

Yeah, are you surprised baby?

I asked silently as I smirked.

"Wh...what are you doing he...here? " She stuttered.

"Why? I can't come here to have some drinks?.... I asked smirking, loving the effect I have on her.

"No... that is not what I mean."

"...so what do you mean, princess?"

" O-ofcourse you can. what would you like to have?"

"I will have keifer. " Leonardo ordered.

"Just give me vodka . " Tristan also placed his order.

She looked at me for my order.

"Surprise me, sweetheart. " I said as I watched her blushed.

"I will bring you the cafe's special for you then, is that o...okay? " she asked softly.

I nodded smiling.

She rushed to counter to give our orders.

I chuckled, shaking my head.

"You are whipped. " Both of the guys smirked.

I rolled my eyes and smiled lightly.

Mercedes p.o.v

I rushed to the counter taking their orders.

I couldn't believe he is here.

I blushed when I looked up to see that he was still staring at me and smiling.

I felt butterflies in my stomach due to his stares.

I have never felt like this before.

I shook my head from my thoughts and see Santiago looking at me with a worried eyes.

"Are you okay? "

"Yeah."

"Are you sure? Because you look flustered. " he asked touching my cheek.

"I am fine. I'm just a little out of breath. "

I handed him the orders.

He nodded and smiled.

I turn to see Alessandro frowning, I got confused but ignored it.

Maybe because of his work.

Santiago handed me their orders, I smiled and took them to Alessandro's table.

"Here are your orders. " I placed their orders in front of them.

"Enjoy your drinks." I smiled.

They thanked me and started drinking their drinks.

Alessandro smiled slightly at me,

"This is tasty. "

I grinned.

" Thank you. It's my speciality."

"You made it? " he asked.

I blushed and nodded.

"That is why it is so sweet. " he smirked.

I blushed again.

I swear my face must be looking like a tomato right now.

I rushed back to the counter only to see Christina smiling at me.

Hmmm.

Why is she smiling now?

I'm not ready to be teased.

"it's him right? "

I nodded.

"Who? " Santiago asked.

"The guy that sent her flowers. " Christina pointed at Alessandro's table giggling.

Santiago frowned and looked at Alessandro's direction.

He held my hand,

"Be careful." He said softly, smiling slightly.

I don't know why I felt like it was a forced smile but I decided to ignored it.

I'm probably reading meaning to nothing.

I hugged him and thanked him for caring for me.

I told Christina that I was going to washroom and she nodded.

I got to the washroom, did my business.

I turned around after washing my hands only to bumped into someone's chest.

I mumbled sorry and looked up.

I gasped seeing Alessandro looking at me with intense look.

I tried to go away but he trapped me by holding my waist against wall.

"Who is that guy? " he asked.

Alessandro p.o.v

I didn't like it one bit that my sweetheart was hugging that guy.

I clenched my jaw.

"Looks like you have a competition. " Leonardo smirked.

"Shut up shithead. "

He chuckled again.

I huffed and headed towards my sweetheart's direction.

I needed to talk to her and touch her.

I entered the washroom and saw Mercedes washing her hands.

I stood behind her, she turned around and bumped into my chest.

She mumbled sorry softly and looked up to meet my eyes.

She gasped and tried to get away but I held her by her waist and trapped her against nearest wall.

"Who is that guy? " I asked her.

"M...my good f...friend." she said softly.

"Why were you hugging him like that? "

"I was thanking him for caring about m...me? " She said.

I dipped my head in her neck and run my nose on her ear.

I was inhaling her beautiful scent.

She shivered,

"wh...what are you do...doing? "

I looked at her, light blush was covering her cheeks.

She is freaking adorable.

"You don't know what you do to me baby. " I said rubbing my thumb against her cheek softly.

She blushed furiously and covered her face with her small hands.

I cooed at that sight.

Only she has the power to make me act this way.

"Did you like the flowers? " I asked.

She e peeked through her fingers and nodded.

"They were beautiful, thank you so much. "

"Don't thank me sweetheart. If you want to thank me will you go on date with me? " I asked.

Mercedes p.o.v

I was shocked.

I look up to see if he was joking.

He chuckled.

"I am not joking sweetheart, "he answered as if reading my mind.

" So tell me, will you go? "

I blushed looking down before nodding timidly.

"Words, sweetheart. " he asked in a firm voice.

"Ye-yes, I will."

Suddenly I felt myself scooped in his embrace.

I wrapped my hands around his neck, standing on my tip toes.

He was taller than me.

" Thank you for accepting to go sweetheart." he said in my ears, sending shivers through my spine.

I smiled softly and release the hug to look at him.

His hand still wrapped around my waist.

"You are so beautiful."

Oh my gosh!

How many times is this guy going to make me blush?

"I need to leave now before anyone starts to look for me. " And with that, I rushed out of the washroom.

I hear him chuckling while following me.

I reached to the counter to see Santiago talking with Christina.

They both smirked at me, looking at my face.

I huffed and started attending to customers, smiling slightly.

Alessandro and his friends bid their goodbyes.

Before leaving, Alessandro told me to keep my phone close to myself. I nodded and waved at them .

They left the cafe.

Christina stood in front of me,

"Start speaking."

"He asked me out on a date." I told her softly smiling.

She giggled and hugged me.

"someone is getting laid. "

I giggled and smacked her shoulder softly.

We went back to work and I started thinking how my first ever date will be......
