Chapter 46:
-Breakfast with Melissa-
It was still early in the morning however he hoped, that she was already awake or was at home. Well at least he knew somebody, that doesn't has constantly to refresh his conscience. He knocked five times at the door until somebody opened it. Ups... it was Melissa's mother in the robe.
"Good morning, Misses Keoh."
"Ehm... good morning Michael. Are you here about to see Melissa?"
"If you don't mind and if she's here... yes, please."
"Melissa, Michael is here!" she yelled the stairway highly.
"I'm coming! " came the answer.
"Please come in, Michael. I go to make me fresh as well and have to dress myself." she smiled embarrassed.
Michael entered smiling and waited at the entrance, while Miss Keoh went the upstairs again.sleepy and yawning Melissa came downstairs dressed to Michael after a few minutes.
"Morning. You're early."
"I didn't intend anything else, there I thought that I could take you for breakfast, what do you think?"
"Love too. Let's go, I'm starving."
he felt comfortable in Melissa's present however, he fled from something, what not even Melissa could remove. The morning was beautiful if there wouldn't be the hellish traffic and the crowd on the street.Michael had his hands in his pockets and was a bit cramped. Melissa held Michael's arm to cheer him up a bit. A small Café nearby, had already open and it smelled marvellously of fresh coffee and bread. Both decided to go in there.They chose a table at the window and ordered the breakfast of the house. First it was served fresh coffee to them and they thanked.
"I find it great here."
"Yes."
"What's the matter, Michael?"
"What do you mean? I'm fine."
"You invite me for breakfast, you are silent the whole away... we don't know us long yet and it's none of my business however if you want to talk, I listen."
"Thanks however I don't want to burden you with my problems. It's only, stress with the family. Possibly, I will leave the city again."
The waiter brought them their breakfast beautifully served. Melissa halved a croissant and put butter and jam on it. She looked somewhat sad, but tried to hide it and ate her croissant.
"Why this? But you arrived recently and furthermore... I'd liked to have you known somewhat better."
"My sister drives me crazy..."
"If you like and if my mother agrees, you could move to us for a while." Michael could see that she became red and he smiled.
"That's really a nice offer, however..."
"Pease accept it. It's only for a temporary arrangement."
"Thank you, maybe not a bad idea at all, however I will sleep over it. You must first talk to your mother about it as well, don't you? "
"She definitely don't mind, because she almost idolizes you." both laughed. "No, she's you more than grateful and this she tells me nearly three times or more a day."
"It was a matter of luck. I heard scream and have... found you, nothing uncommon."
Melissa viewed Michael's necklace and found it fascinating.
"A beautiful necklace. Does it mean anything?"
"No, not for me however for the Native American, who gave me this. It means 'protector and the good' however I don't believe in it."
"Protector? You really are. Are you still intend something to do today?"
"No, but I wanted to go to the graveyard later, go to visit my defunct girlfriend, however, we can still do something together. You have any suggestions?"
"How would it be with cinema? somehow, I have the desire to watch a film."
"Yeah, why not. Wasn't in the cinema for a long time. Let's finish breakfast ready, and then let's watching us something entertaining. What actually on at the cinema?"
"No idea, let's surprise us, there must be something amusing like a comedy or a horror film." she laughed.
Both finished their breakfast, Michael paid and set of for downtown, where the fun really started. They chose the first cinema, they found and chose the horror films "Full Moon".
"Sounds good. I like such films." Melissa raved, while Michael only one raised brew.They stood into the queue at the ticket-corner until they got their tickets and could place in the screen. Still the hall wasn't full and still one could manage to grab the best seats for itself. Of course they sat down side by side and Melissa enjoyed her popcorn which she had bought herself. Meanwhile, the advertisement and trailer -previews were on. The hall darkened, the lights turned off and the screen opened to the maximum size and the main film began. Michael seemed not to be exactly impressed about the film, however, Melissa if it once became somewhat uncanny and horrifying, she clang at Michael. When she noticed, that she almost strangled Michael, she smiled embarrassed and sat again decently into the chair.
