Hi everybody! Today is the one year anniversary of Forever Rising Phoenix! I can't believe it's been a whole year, it feels like yesterday I was coming up with the idea, and for Stubborn Love as well! Sorry if it seemed like this chapter dragged on, I just wanted to capture the moment the best I could. Dave was the one in the bar in the episode "Nebraska" from Season 2.
WARNING: STRONG SEXUAL CONTENT!
Chapter Twelve: Show The Cards
"Are you ok?" Melody asked as she closed the door to her room.
"Huh? Yes, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" I grabbed her yin and yang Chinese healing balls off the dresser and started rolling them around. Whenever I had something on my mind, I would get fidgety and at times had to have something to set my focus at ease in order to approach it head on. This instance was one of those times. How was I going to tell the girl I've fallen for that I don't like how she was just man handled right in front of me?
"Is something wrong? You seem kind of tense and disoriented." She put her hands on my face, looking up at me with concern in her eyes. "You can tell me. Did I do something?"
I heavily sighed, feeling bad that my change in demeanor was so obvious and that she felt like it was her fault. It wasn't intentional, but my emotions were bubbling to the surface, I couldn't help but blurt out what was on my mind.
"Is there something going on with you and Daryl?"
Melody scrunched up her eyebrows in confusion and stepped back. "What? No! Did you seriously just ask me that?"
I turned around, looking at all the pictures throughout the years that she had in her room. There were some with her family, Lori holding Melody as a baby, the two of them at Disneyland with their mom when Melody was six, Lori was eighteen, and Rick was twenty, a lot with her and Lori, the two of them with Charlotte, Melody and Carl making silly faces, and the picture that Rick had in his office. A lot were with her friends, Melody and Beth covered head to toe in multiple colors of paint, with Tara at one of the high school pep rallies decked out in their class colors and eye black war paint, a rave with Maggie, Stefon, and Sasha, but there were two pictures in particular that caught my eye.
The first one was of her and Aiden at a party their senior year, I recognized it as her profile picture from Facebook. He was smirking and she must have been talking, because her mouth was slightly open, and they both had an arm wrapped around each other. They both looked like they were having fun and Melody was happy.
The second was a strip of four pictures that Melody and I had taken in an old school photo booth at the pier the night of our first date, with us kissing in the last one. I felt my heart smile that she had the strip amongst the people that mattered in her life. Maybe there was something in the cards for us after all, but I had to speak my mind, too.
"How could you ask me that? Do you not trust me, Gareth?"
"Of course I do." I turned around, but I still couldn't look at her. "You know how much I like you, Melody. I like you a lot and care about you deeply. What I'm about to say is meant to be sincere and not come off as controlling. I didn't pay much attention to Albert because that's how he always is with chicks."
"I think your friend Albert thinks he's Barney Stinson or something."
We both got a chuckle out of her comparison, it was definitely a tiny relief I needed at the moment. "You're spot on with that. Anyways, it wasn't him. It was the way that Daryl greeted you kind of irked me, and I… Well, I…" I ran a hand through my hair, trying to figure out how to word this delicately and not come off looking like either a complete nutcase or a first class tool.
"Yes? What is it? I'm listening." I could hear the concern in her voice so clearly. WHY was I having a hard time spitting the words out? I never get this tongue-tied.
"I didn't like it, ok?" I gazed into her eyes and she jumped a little at the assertive tone of my voice, which made me take a step back. "Sorry, I didn't mean to get so excited. I'm trying to say that I didn't like it because it wasn't me. Granted, I wouldn't be grabbing you like that in public, but I don't want him to do it. I kind of want to be the only one that gets to touch you like that."
"Are you saying-"
"Uh huh." I nodded, all of a sudden feeling like an awkward teenage boy who just told the most popular girl in school that he wanted her. Maybe in my attempt to be honest, I had been way too forward, she was probably scared off for good now. I should have known better. Why do dating and relationships and love have to be so complicated? Melody walked forward, taking the Chinese healing balls and putting them back on the dresser before holding my hand. When I finally looked in her eyes again, I noticed instead of seeming creeped out, she was smiling sweetly.
MELODY
Although I wouldn't dare admit this, I was actually touched by Gareth's declaration. He wasn't afraid to admit how he really felt, which seemed to be kind of jealous and annoyed yet protective. My mom always told me a little bit of jealousy was good, because it showed that the person cared about you enough to reach that extent of emotion.
"Gareth, honey. You have nothing to worry about. Do you really think I'd be dating somebody else when I was with you? No way in hell!"
"Yeah, but what about Daryl?"
"What about him? They were clowning around earlier. Honestly, I think they were trying to test you or something, I have no idea. Rosita is always like that, both of them are, actually. It's kind of what happens when you work in the porn business, you think everybody wants to sleep with you. I love them both to death, but I wouldn't sleep with either one of them, ever. The only person I want in me is you." I looked at him to see a raised eyebrow and an amused smirk on his face, and felt my eyes widen when I realized what I said.
Fucking idiot!
Without thinking, I slapped my palm to my forehead and instantly regretted it. "Ow... Not a smart move, Melody. Not a smart move at all." I walked over and sat down on my bed, propping my knees up and burying my head in them, too uncomfortable to look at him. "I swear, it's like sometimes I let whatever is in my head fly straight out of my mouth without any thought what so ever."
The next thing I felt was Gareth sitting down on the bed and lifting my chin up. "You don't have anything to be embarrassed about."
"Yes, I do. Like the other night at the park. The reason why I cancelled our plans and have been kind of distant is exactly that. I was embarrassed because I came on way too strong and I was worried that you'd think I was really slutty or something. Plus, I don't normally swallow. Except then there's a part of me saying I shouldn't be embarrassed, because I like you and I was showing it." I heavily sighed, fully lying down on the bed. "I'm an idiot."
"No, you're not." Gareth laid down next to me, his hand cupping my cheek. "You're incredible, Melody, and I didn't think you were coming on too strong or being slutty. Sorry that I didn't give you any warning, it had been a while and you were so good that I was just as surprised as you when it happened. Regardless, I liked it a lot, actually, because you were showing me more of who you really are, and you shouldn't be afraid of that. I want to know all there is to know about you, Melody." He smiled as his fingers began making zigzag patterns down my body, stopping at my lower stomach. "Is this your tattoo?"
I nodded. "Mmhmm. One of them, anyway. I have two. Go ahead, take a look."
Gareth pushed up my tank top to the bottom band of my jacket and pulled the top of my pants down to right above my pelvis, where the two tiny tattoos were. Even though it was pretty dark in my room, I was praying that he wouldn't see the unfortunate stretch marks from my weight gain. Luckily, today had been a day where they were hardly visible, but I was still self-conscious.
"I got this one first, Lori and I have the same one." I pointed to the purple and blue butterfly on the left side of my stomach. "We've both always had a thing for butterflies, as well as being a bit rebellious. Even though it's against our religion, we wanted something that symbolized our bond of sisterhood. It didn't hurt that badly, but when we were done I told her that it would look stupid to only have a tattoo on one side of our stomach, so we got another one." I then pointed at the second tattoo on the right side of my stomach, which was two eight music notes with the tails intertwined, making an "M" in black with a pink outline. "Something simple, so I got this and she got a cursive "L"."
He started making invisible lines on my stomach with his finger, which left me feeling tingly all over. "They're cute, I like them. Do you want to get anymore?"
"No. What about you? Any other tattoos besides the one or any piercings?"
"Actually, I've been meaning to tell you about how I have the tip of my tongue pierced. I wear it on weekends, never at the office, but I haven't put it back in because I didn't know if you'd be comfortable with it or not."
I've always had a thing for bad boys, it's probably why I've ended up with such idiots, but Gareth had a few bad boy elements, with the tattoo and now the piercing. He keeps getting sexier as the days go by. "Really? On the contrary, I think it's kind of hot, I've always been curious to know what it felt like to kiss somebody with a tongue piercing. Wear it next time?"
"Sure thing." Gareth looked up at me, smiling with his eyes before narrowing them as his hand boldly slipped down the front of my pants, and I saw the slightest smirk when he discovered I wasn't wearing any panties. "You like to go commando, huh?"
I nodded, knowing my face was heating up as I suddenly felt very timid and a little vulnerable. "Uh huh." There was no way I'd be telling him the real reason why I was going commando was due to being self conscious of how my underwear would make bulges appear. "Gareth, I-"
He silenced me with a kiss as his hand went even lower and his fingers teased me. "Mmm, Melody, you're so wet. I knew it from earlier." Gareth growled into my ear before nipping my earlobe and neck.
"But-"
"Now it's my turn to satisfy and take care of you, just like you did for me. I want to be the first one to make you experience a real orgasm." The tone of his voice was husky as his long fingers stroked my lower lips before completely entering, which made me gasp and grab onto his shoulders, I could feel my stomach begin to coil as I took enjoyment in this feeling. "And so tight."
We should stop, I knew that much. There's a full house of people downstairs watching Leonardo DiCaprio snort blow off of a hooker's ass, but I lost myself in the dance of his fingers inside me, moving in a smooth and rhythmic pattern. While I knew we should stop, I didn't want him to. I felt so small and un-experienced in Gareth's arms, but I wanted him to make me feel what others had failed at achieving. So I let him continue, wrapping my hands around the back of his neck and kissing him to qualm my nerves. After a few minutes, Gareth pulled away, gazing down on me with a darkened look in his eyes.
"Melody, do you have any idea what you do to me or how much you turn me on?"
I shook my head. "N-no." My response only made him go deeper and more swiftly. He must have been able to tell I was being so reserved, so he kissed me before leaning into my ear, continuing to probe inside with his proficient fingers.
"I want to take off all your clothes and kiss every square inch of your sexy body, to taste and suckle your sweet honey and beautiful breasts, to caress your velvety skin." His free hand hastily unzipped my jacket and alternated between breasts, groping and pinching, before pulling me against him, his hardened groin firmly poking into my backside. "After that, I'm going to make love to you like a real man should, sweet and tender. The guys you were with before didn't know what the hell they were doing, but I do. I'm going to be the one to bring you to the stars, Melody, to awaken the passion within. You turn me on very much, and when you decide that you're ready, it'll be unforgettable. I want to fuck you so badly."
Normally, this kind of talk would have left me very upset. From Gareth, it was turning me on. It was ok to say those kinds and get excited hearing them, it depends on the person. Besides, no man has ever said they wanted to make love to me, it was either "I wanna fuck the shit out of your pussy." Or "I want to bang you senseless.". Maybe Gareth was a romantic or he had the utmost respect for me. I wasn't offended when he said he wanted to fuck me, either, because right now, I'm feeling the exact same way.
I grabbed him by the face until he was on top and kissed him fervently, which he reciprocated as the speed of his fingers increased. Gareth was putting my needs before his, making me feel how a real woman should, I wasn't feeling like some dirty whore like Shane or a cum bucket like Randall. My whole body was tensing up and my thoughts were fogged by lust, drowning out the sounds of anything that wasn't in the bedroom, my hands moving from grabbing his hair to twisting the back of his shirt as my legs started moving around the bed before crossing them, trapping Gareth's hand inside my pants.
"I think-"
"That's it, you're almost there, I can feel it. Come for me, baby. You can do it, I know you want to." We kissed again as I moaned into his mouth, panting against his lips, holding onto to his shoulders because I felt like I would float away if I didn't. A new kind of electricity surged throughout my entire body, begging for liberation into nirvana. I knew that this was what an authentic orgasm is supposed to feel like, and I was so ready for it.
"Mmm, Gareth-"
"Melody?"
"BETH?!"
A knocking at the door disrupted us and my pupils dilated as Gareth's movements came to an unfortunate halt.
"What is it, w-what happened?" I panted out, trying my best to sound normal but knowing Beth was probably aware of the event she had overheard from the other side of the door.
"Tony's Pizza just arrived and the delivery boy needs to be paid. Glenn put the pizzas in the kitchen, everybody is digging in."
"Fuck." With the erotic moment that Gareth and I had been sharing, I completely lost track of the time and forgot about that I had ordered pizzas. How could I remember anything at all when the only thing on my mind at that moment consisted of ripping my boyfriend's clothes off? Wait, is he even my boyfriend yet? "Uh, tell him I'll be right there."
"Ok."
I looked up at Gareth, we were both visibly disappointed. "Jeez, that was close. Too bad it ended so soon. I'm sorry."
He exhaled heavily. "So am I. You were so close, I was getting really turned on watching you and knowing that I was the one bringing you to that kind of high."
I blushed, a combination of being hot and bothered and from still feeling a little embarrassed. "T-thanks. We really don't have any luck when it comes to this, do we?"
"Ha, no, apparently we don't. It's only been the second time, it won't always be like this, I promise."
"Let's hope so."
We sat up, fixing our hair and clothes, even though I'm sure everybody else would be able to tell that we had messed around.
"I actually ordered some lambskin condoms the other day for when you're ready." Gareth got off the bed, standing in front of me as he fixed his hair.
"You did?" I asked as I sat on my knees, zipping my jacket up, feeling so touched that even after what had transpired, he still wasn't pressuring me to sleep with him.
"Yes, I did."
"Did you mean what you said, you know, during…" I looked away, instantly regretting the words that came out of my mouth, knowing I sounded like some desperate chick.
Gareth put his hand on my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb. "Every single word, Melody."
I'm not sure if it was his honesty, his kindness, or his allure, but in that moment my feelings for Gareth were stronger than they had been this whole month. I leaned in, putting my hands on Gareth's face and giving him an incredibly amorous kiss, letting it linger just a little bit. My forehead rested against his as our lip lock ended and we simultaneously smiled at each other.
"I'm glad you meant it, because I wouldn't want to experience it with anybody else other than you." With a flirtatious wink, I twirled off the bed and walked off, purposely sashaying like the world was my own little runway. Being with Gareth always left me on top of the world, my happiness levels were higher than could be counted for, and every little thing further solidified the love that was blossoming.
What scared me was that if I didn't get it together, I may lose him. Even though my feelings were so strong, I was still waiting for something about him to come to the light. Why can't I convince myself that I deserved a good guy, like Beth said? When I glanced over my shoulder, I saw Gareth was fixated on my ass. "Come on, sexy boy. Everybody's waiting on us."
GARETH
"Alright, I'm coming." I walked over and grabbed Melody's hand as we proceeded out of her room. Even though our mini tryst was unfortunately interrupted, I was still glad it happened. The more time we spent together, the more in love I fell. Most people would say that it was too soon, that it's only been nine months since Theresa and I split up after seven years, that I needed time. To me, it didn't matter whether it's only been almost two months or if it's been two decades, I know how I feel and I have a good instinct on how Melody was feeling, too. Yes, I might be anxious to take it further, except it was important that we were both on the same page, and I'm going to ride it out for however long it takes, but I couldn't wait until she was officially my girl.
"By the way, I came up with the perfect costume for you for the Monster Mash Bash." Melody said as we turned the hall to the second floor staircase.
"Oh, yeah? Lay it on me."
"Ok, it's kind of stupid and maybe overdone, but I was thinking Tom Cruise from Risky Business, the "Old Time Rock n' Roll" outfit. All you need is a pink button up shirt, white socks, a pair of black Ray Bans, and white briefs. You've already got the hair, and you wouldn't be expected to do the dance. What do you think?"
The smile that she always put on my face broadened, for this girl was too cute. "That movie is one of my favorites. I think your idea is perfect and I love it." One day, I'd actually be able to end a sentence with "I love you". "What's your costume going to be?"
"I'm in between a couple, Rosita has costumes from Forplay on loan for me. Why don't I take some selfies and send them to you so you can tell me what you think?"
"You wanna send me your sexy selfies? What would Daryl say?" I smirked, to which she rolled her eyes and lightly slapped my arm.
"Shuty uppy, he wishes I'd send him my selfies, he just won't admit it." We walked down the first floor staircase, seeing the pizza boy standing by the door. "Hi! Sorry about that, I completely lost track of the time."
"Oh, don't worry. I had no problem waiting." He smiled, immediately checking out Melody's chest. This guy must have been in his late twenties or early thirties and a couple inches shorter than me, with naturally spiked brown hair, a Bart Simpson looking face, and a name tag reading Dave. "Six pizzas, that'll be $50.75."
"Alright." Melody reached into her pocket, but I was quicker with pulling out my wallet.
"Here, let me get it."
"What? Gareth, no. I couldn't let you do that."
I shook my head. "No, it's fine. I've got it, babe. Go be with your friends and I'll take care of this. Besides, I'm the reason why we weren't down here sooner." Melody blushed at my sly wink, and I knew she was thinking about what happened in her bedroom.
"Melody, this movie is insane! Like oh my Gianni Versace!" Stefon shouted from the family room.
"Titties, titties, full frontal titties!" Tara exclaimed.
"I know, right? Leo totally should have won the Oscar!" Melody looked up at me. "Alright, fine, if you insist. I owe you one though."
"You don't owe me anything. It's my pleasure."
"Well, thank you, sugar pie honeybunch." She leaned up and gave me a kiss on the cheek before sauntering off. I turned around to see Dave staring at her ass.
"$50.75 you said?"
He shook his head out of the trance. "Huh? Yeah, $50.75. Damn, buddy! Your woman's got a nice little body on her. Those curves! I'd never let her go if I were you."
I glared him down, how could a total stranger make a comment like that, in mixed company nonetheless? I swear, etiquette seemed to be out of the window thanks to society's embrace of brutal honesty. "Keep the change." I handed him the bill before opening the door and motioned him out with my hand. "Have a good night."
Dave turned around, staring at me with a shit eating grin as I closed the door. "Dude, this is a $100 bill! Thanks!"
"Yeah, take care."
I heavily sighed as I walked back into the family room and sat down next to Melody on the couch. What made this situation different is that she didn't realize what an effect she had on the male sex. Maybe it was because of the way she walks or how sometimes her voice is sugary sweet or her overall bubbly personality when she first meets somebody, but they were drawn to her. I assumed that she was oblivious or just chose to ignore it, but what concerned me is that I think Melody sees a different version of herself than what the rest of the world sees, which was a truly striking girl. She looked over with a smile as she snuggled up to me.
"How are you doing, you're good?"
I returned the smile as I wrapped my arm around her waist. "I'm great. How are you?" All it took was one smile and I was sure that no other guy stood a chance, that the only one she had eyes for was me.
"I'm fantastic." Melody gave me a kiss on the cheek as she rested her head on my shoulder and wrapped her arms around me while we watched the suaveness of Leonardo Dicaprio.
TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER
"That was a freaking crazy intense rollercoaster of sex, drugs, money, and the high life!" Glenn said the credits rolled.
"Hey, hey, hey. With the exception of the scamming part, that pretty much is my life." Daryl boasted with a smirk. "But I'm not as crazy. "
"I'd tap that Margo Robbie from here to New Zealand." Albert joined in.
"Ok, enough about the chicks. It was an awesome movie and Leo should have won, but like I've said, I'm sure it was neck in neck between him and Matthew Mcconaughey for Best Actor and Jonah Hill and Jared Leto for Best Supporting. It was a tough category, but Matthew and Jared sacrificed more physically. Now, it's time for another movie that got robbed at this year's Oscars: American Hustle!" Melody clapped excitedly as she switched the DVDS.
"Don't do anything yet, hun. I've gotta drown the hound." Daryl got up and walked around the couch, which I decided was the perfect time to talk to him about what happened earlier. Waiting outside the bathroom door, I figured I'd approach him with the utmost respect. We're both grown men, it should be handled in a mature manner, there's no need for things to get ugly.
Daryl opened the door, a little surprised to see me, but shrugged it off. "Hey, dude. It's all yours."
"Thanks, but I actually came here to talk to you."
"Oh?" He raised an eyebrow before leaning back against the wall and crossing his arms over his chest. "Go ahead, I'm all ears."
"Well, I was wondering if you could do me a favor?"
"Depends. Watcha' asking for?"
I was avoiding running a hand through my hair, which was a nervous habit of mine. "Well, I know that Melody and I haven't been dating for that long, but we've gotten pretty close if you get what I mean, and I'm hoping to make it official. We both know she's pretty, a real looker, which could sometimes result in unwanted attention, especially with all the creeps in that industry. No offence."
He shook his head. "None taken."
"What I'm trying to say is watch out for Melody, will ya? I won't always be around, but if a guy goes after her, just watch out if you know what I mean?"
Daryl was hesitant at first, but then started nodding with a smile. "Alright, I can do that for ya, Gareth. About earlier, I was messing around, but I get the message. You're good people, man." He extended his hand out to me, which I shook with a smile.
"Thanks, I try. So are you."
"Don't break her heart or I'll break your face."
"Ha, I wouldn't dare." We laughed as he walked off. I felt a lot better after speaking with Daryl, I think he gets the point. Things were handled in a civilized manner without getting physical, exactly how it should have been.
2:00 AM
"We should probably be going, it's after two."
The movie had ended about an hour and a half ago, and people had left little by little until it was only me, Alex, Sophia, and Albert with Melody, Carl, and Patrick. It had been a really great night, filled with laughs and fun. My siblings had even warmed up, especially Sophia to Carl, I could tell there was a little love connection going on there.
"I completely lost track of the time!" Melody said as we got up and walked to the door. "Thanks so much for coming tonight, it was really nice meeting you."
"Yeah, it was fun. It's great to put a name to the face." Albert said as he gave Melody a hug good bye.
"Likewise, Barney Stinson."
"Huh?"
Melody started giggling into my arm. "Nothing, nothing." I could tell she was tired, she could barely keep her eyes open and sounded a little drowsy.
"Bye, Melody, I had an awesome time." Sophia said as she stepped forward.
"Bye, sweetheart." Melody gave her a huge hug, then Alex. "I loved meeting you, and you too, Alex. You really lucked out having such a fantastic brother." She looked over at me and smiled.
"Yeah, we know. Sometimes he's a gigantic pain in the ass, but we love him anyway." Alex said, which made me raise an eyebrow.
"Likewise, little brother."
"Sophia, you come back here anytime and I'll take your head shots, a whole photo shoot, free of charge. I took Maggie's and they came out beautifully." Melody smiled as she opened the door for us.
"Oh, my god, really?! That would be totally amazing! I can't wait! I'm already thinking of outfits to wear! Bye, Carl. Bye, Patrick." Sophia did a girly wave, making them blush.
"B-bye."
"See you around."
"Night, Gareth." Carl and I high fived each other as he followed Patrick up the stairs.
"Night, dudes." I turned to my siblings and Albert. "Can you give us a minute? Wait for me in the car?" I tossed Alex my keys.
"Sure thing, dude. Gotta get one last tug for the evening." He started bursting into moronic laughter, as did Melody, but I was mortified.
"Alex!" I slapped him upside the head.
"What?!"
"You know what."
"He's just saying what we're all thinking. Night, Melody." Albert walked out with Sophia and Alex as I stayed behind with Melody on the front step.
"I'm really, really glad you came here tonight. I wish we could pick up where we left off in my room though." She gazed at me with a wink and a smile, which I returned, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Me, too, for both of those. Don't worry, one day, it'll happen."
"I know." Melody started blinking her eyes, trying to stay awake as she giggled.
"You should get some sleep, hun, you can barely keep your eyes open."
"Alright, alright, alright. Don't I at least get a kiss good night, hot stuff?" Melody flipped her hair back and started kissing my neck, wrapping her arms around my shoulders as I felt invigorated by her touch all over again.
"Of course you can." I leaned in, my arm snaking around her waist as our lips united for one last kiss of the night. She pressed herself into me further, backing us up against one of the front porch columns, she still tasted like her cupcake chapstick. My hands moved up from her waist to her cheeks, deepening the kiss as her fingers tangled in my hair, pulling me in for a halfway dip. Our tongues dancing leisurely in each other's mouths, trying to savor the kiss for as long as we possibly could, our hands moving all over for one final touch. If Melody asked me to stay the night right now, I'd tell Alex to drive off without giving it a second thought, even though I don't let anybody drive my car except me.
"Gareth, let's go!"
We were interrupted by Albert shouting from the front seat.
"Urgh, I knew I should have come without the kids." I groaned, to which Melody laughed.
"It's ok, I get what it's like. That was really nice though. Call me later?"
I nodded, stepping off the front step. "You've got it, sweetheart. Until then."
We leaned in once more, kissing each other repeatedly before elongating it. I gripped her sides when she started sucking on my lip and her hands moved to-
"GARE BEAR! NOW!"
I turned around in frustration. "ALRIGHT!"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"No, it's not. Well, maybe. You're too damn good of a kisser."
"Same for you, stud. Oh, and you know about what you said earlier?"
"Yeah…?" I raised a curious eyebrow, to which she smiled.
"What you want, I want it too, but the other way around, if you get what I mean."
"Definitely." We had said it so many words, but it was obvious that there was nobody else in the picture, and that feeling was fantastic.
"Good night… again."
"Sweet dreams." I gave her a quick peck before turning around.
"Now, get out of here." She smacked me on the butt, to which I turned around to see her smirking.
"Feisty now, are we?"
"Mmhmm. Bye, baby."
"Bye."
I watched until her smiling face disappeared behind the closed door and walked to my car. Once I was inside, I glared at everybody.
"Je-sus Christ! What the hell was wrong with you guys?!"
Albert shrugged as I started the car. "Nothing, we weren't in the mood to watch the sex show you two were trying to have."
"No, we weren't."
"Schyeah, you were. Gareth, seriously, you and Melody are all over each other to the point where I've run out of similes to describe it. White on rice, fat kid on cake, Lebron on a basketball, it's an endless list."
"Yes, I know."
"I liked her, she's chill." Alex said. "Dude, those funbags are insane! How have you not hit that already?"
Sophia slapped his arm. "Alex, shut up! Don't be such a pervert! Gareth, she's so pretty and really, really sweet! I like her, and I like what she's done for you. I honestly believe that Mom and Mommy will love Melody. She's so much better than that tramp, Theresa."
I smiled. "Trust me, I do, too. Her sister was right, everybody does fall in love with her." While I had thrown myself into work since the breakup, I had been kind of a downer. When I wasn't working or exercising, I spent most of my time sketching or playing video games, I had turned a tad bit anti social, but Melody had definitely pulled me out of my funk. All I hoped was that things wouldn't change too much when I told her the truth.
