Melissa had been living in an apartment, across the street from Alex's family store for just a couple of weeks with Bridesmaid - Denise St.Orge. One day Melissa woke up, and decided to walk to the ocean and boarded a boat with pirates. Turns out she was not meant for the sea....she got very sea sick. Regardless she caught 6 crabs. Walking home with a clear bag full of live crabs, she soon realized she had no clue what to do with them. "Should I sell them? dress them in top hats? soon I will have to kill them”. She started to freak out so, she called her mom. Her mom answered, and reminded her about the market across the street. "See if they'll buy them from you" Melissa packed up all 6 crabs in the clear plastic bag, walked across the street frantically. Meanwhile Alex had been working at the store all day. He had noticed the new cute girl across the street, for a couple of weeks, doing laundry, dropping things, her mind seemed to be in another world. That day when Melissa came in with a bag of crabs, he thought "who is this crazy girl!" he had to introduce himself. He made sure the deli helped her and even showed her how to "murder" a couple of the the crabs. She gave the deli two crabs for helping her out, and told him how she planned on having a midnight crab dinner, on her roof that night. After the crab adventure Melissa started coming into the store almost daily, and they'd flirt over frozen kale. She'd find excuses to go into the store, and he'd spend an extra long time ringing up her coconut water. Their romance was sweet and slow moving, until one day Melissa asked "why don't you let me cut your hair?" Alex booked a hair appointment that week, they had dinner the same night, and the rest is history!
