MELISSA'S POV
I sat down and started watching the humans in the box my leaf boy called Television, laughing out my lungs at the funny things they kept saying.
Sweet aroma of food wafted through the air, making me salivate. I tried controlling myself to sit and wait for my leave boy to call me but I couldn't help it. The aroma kept tormenting me.
I stood up after minutes of trying to stay put and gently walked to the kitchen.
There, my leave boy was stirring the food while humming to a song. Smiling, I stepped into the kitchen and peered at what he was stiring.
I tried dipping my hand to pick some of it, he spanked my hand with a big spoon, glaring at me.
"What are you doing here Melissa? I told you to watch the TV and wait for me to be done didn't I? He raised his brows and I kept quiet, picking my nails.
"It's not my fault, the aroma was damaging my nostrils so I had to come since you wouldn't call

I won't marry her so the earlier you all understand the better for you all" I shrieked already frustrated."We shall see to that Asher" he humphed giving me a lopsided smile.Can I leave now?" I groaned making the old man glare at me. "If you want to leave, you can but make sure you are preparing for your engagement".Engagement indeed. I stomped out of the old man's study."Son won't you stay for dinner?" Mom muttered coming towards me from the kitchen."No m
MELISSA'S POVI climbed down the stairs yawning from tiredness. I didn't go to bed on time last night because I couldn't stop watching the late night fashion show displaying.I loved the way they all dressed and spoke eloquently. I really want to be like that, go to school and be able to speak that way.I would talk to Asher about it, maybe he would get me a teacher so I could able to read and write. The little knowledge I have, I learnt from princess Melissa's books which helped me to understand most of human language.Atlantica do speak English but our English is kinda different from humans a bit.Aroma of delicacy wafted through my nose as I reached the end of the stairs.I breathe in the the smell of food, my stomach rumbled as it noticed the food.I forgot whatever I was thinking and rushed to the kitchen, it could come later, now I need to taste that delicacy my

His phone rang out and his sighed picking it up and checking out the caller. "Aaah Mom not again he groaned and swiped the receive botton. "Mum what do you want" he said immediately and the voice at the other end shouted. "Asher what am I hearing? did you call the security to drag Chloe out of your office for crying out loud she is your fiancee" she yelled almost blocking my ear.

(MELISSA'S POV)Sitting down in an object the leaf boy called a bed, I glanced around the room and smiled. Everywhere is so beautiful and I love the smell oozing out from what he gave me to put on.I kept on sniffing it but I couldn't get enough of the leaf boy's scent on the object he gave me. He called it clothes I guess."Oh mother!!!!

ASHER'S POV I stood confused looking around the cafeteria in search of blue -haired insane lady. "Ahhhhh if anyone gets to know what I was doing here, I would be all over the news tomorrow and that is the last thing I want now. Going out of the cafeteria and outside the hospital, I sighed in relief as I sighted her sitting at a nearby ice cream shop licking a very big bowl of ice cream. "Shoot me" Just because of ice cream, she has to go this far to eat ice-cream. She Should have just mentioned it to me and I will get her as many bowels as she want. I matched furiously throughout her and yelled immediately I reached her front "Melissa what the hell are you doing here" I thundered and she grinning displaying or her teeth filled with ice cream and licking the ones dripping on her hands. "Humans food are so sweet" she said and collected another bowel from the ice crea

ASHER'S POVRight on the kitchen floor, sprawn Melissa chocolate syrup all over her face. Many nylons and cans of food she consumed scattered in every corner of the kitchen floor.She was holding a half consumed chocolate tightly and snoring softly. What the hell!! The refrigerator door was widely ajar and the hell, nothing remained in the refrigerator.I can't believe she finished the whole snack and all the fruits I just stocked 2days ago and wait, she also ate ice cubes and vegetables.Shouldn't I be scared of the lady. Which human would have such appetite to consume such amount of food that I couldn't finish in a week if I decide to feed regularly on them but the lady sleeping on this floor actually finished everything and is snoring out even.This is unbelievable. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my eyes.I picked her up and was surprised how light weighted
ASHER'S POVSitting and waiting for Melissa to be done with shopping, I got tired of sitting as there was no glimpse of her. I picked up my phone and decided to reply my emails and do some other things.After a while, I was done checking out and replying the necessary ones, I returned my phone back to my pocket and glanced up to know if I could atleast see her as she was taking too much time already. I have a meeting to attend to in an hour time.I gasped as my eye widened on sighting her. Woah! Is she some fallen goddess or an angel sent down to me. The outfit she wore, made her look exceptionally breathtaking. I knew she was beautiful but I never imagined her to look this way. In all my existence, I had never seen such innocent beauty.My heart fluttered as she smiled at me, exposing her two very deep dimples. My body started heating up and I released air from my lungs to calm myself d
