Tell Me Now, Are We Real?

It's 6 p.m., the sky is dark already. Andrea rushes to open the cottage door with a password she knows too well. She goes inside and locks the door behind her.

Just as she takes off her coat, her phone dings. Andrea glances to the screen,

"Hey so sorry, a sudden family meeting. Don't wait up, love you."

She sighs. Today is their second anniversary as a couple. Yes, Andrea's boyfriend is the infamous Henry Allen, the son of the richest man in the country, the heir of Allen Group. No one knows about their relationship, it's been a difficult journey to hide it. Why hide it? Simply because Henry Allen is not supposed to be in relationship with a commoner.

Andrea takes off her shoes, walks lazily inside the cottage. Henry specially prepared this to celebrate their anniversary. It's one of the Allen's vacation houses, few hours drive from the city, private, secluded, and suitable for their secret getaways.

A mouth-watering strawberry cake is on the table, with some snacks, and few bottles of wine. She then replies Henry's text, "I just arrived, I'm tired anyway so I will sleep early, no worries."

Andrea drops herself to the cozy sofa, she turns on the TV. Flipping between channels, until she stops in an old romance movie. She lets a sigh out again, the cottage is perfect and romantic. But again, she has to wait and wait and wait. It starts to grow tiring after two years. Andrea sighs again, she thinks maybe she grows tired of waiting.
