Hi everybody! What did we think of the midseason premiere?! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVED IT! It was really cool, but the ending was sad :(. Also, it gives me hope that maybe the rest of this season will improve. I know you've all been waiting since I left it on a cliffhanger in more ways than one, so I'm hoping to have the latest chapter of Forever Rising Phoenix up most likely tomorrow, if not this weekend!
I know you've all been waiting for the big moment, and NO, Fifty Shades of Grey was not my inspiring source of erotica (Although, I have become obsessed with "Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding! Fabulous but doesn't fit the movie in my opinion). If you want REAL romance and erotica, check out any Jackie Collins or Danielle Steele books. Both ladies are huge role models and inspirations to my writing! :) This chapter is supposed to be an eye opener in regards to Melody's confidence, I think a lot of girls feel like this and can doubt themselves at times but at other times are more self-assured.
No new Walking Dead characters this time around (I forgot to mention that Autumn Montana's pig is Violet, the pig at the prison in Season 4, Episode 1 "30 Days Without An Accident"), but there is a cameo mention of Lana and her son Hunter, who are the original characters from my good friend Hey01ig's Walking Dead story Counting Lost Days. Be on the look out for OC cameos from other stories as well! :)
I wanna give a special shout out to my beta reader texasbelle91, as well as Chloe Cannon 3, DarylDixon'sgirl1985, Headwalkerz, He-Who-Shall-Live, Hey01ig, Lego Kid At Heart, Prettyprincess45, and SilverSun09. Please check out their stories, because they are freaking awesome!

Chapter Eighteen: Sparks Fly
GARETH
When Melody emerged from the adjoining bathroom in my light blue Ralph Lauren button up, wearing one of the new sets of bra and panties she bought earlier, I could feel myself getting aroused. Melody was so delicious that looking at her was to the point of almost sinful.
"My shirt looks so sexy on you."
She cocked her head with a confused look, reminding me of a little puppy. "Huh, what did you say?"
Had I really said that out loud? I shook myself out of my daydream. "I said that my shirt fits well on you."
"Oh, yes, it does. Toothbrush?"
"Right, in here." I joined her in my bathroom, unsure if she had caught on to what I said, but feeling embarrassed nevertheless.
MELODY
I silently giggled when I saw Gareth pump his fist inside his closest. For as smooth and charismatic as he was, he had these moments that show such a carefree and silly part of his personality, it was too cute. I also knew he said his shirt looked sexy on me. Perhaps tonight would finally be when we consummated our relationship, we've only been trying for an eternity. I had a feeling we would, why else would I have put on the brand new hot pink satin bra and cheekies that I bought earlier to surprise him with at some point in the future? While Gareth had taken Autumn Montana back to Build-A-Bear for the third time, I had gone to Victoria Secrets to spend the gift card Grandma and Grandpa Blake got me for Christmas, hoping one day to have the guts to give Gareth a show again like I had in his office.
"Here you go." Gareth pulled out a box from underneath the sink with an electric toothbrush inside. "I always keep a spare on me." He put the pink toothbrush head on and handed it to me before putting toothpaste on both brushes. We began brushing our teeth, smiling at each other in between spitting breaks as the brushes hummed their tune. I couldn't help but think of how freaking cute we looked. Yes, I loved our sexy moments, but it was also little moments like these that I knew I'd treasure for the rest of my life.
"So, what do you want to do, are you tired? We can watch a movie or catch up on American Horror Story, maybe you're finally ready to read me some of your stories? I've been dying to hear them." Gareth turned around as we walked out of the bathroom. He was dying to hear my stories, but I wasn't ready to read them to him yet, they were pretty racy. Not to mention he was the basis for the male lead in my current erotica romance, I wasn't sure how he'd feel about that.
"Yeah, they aren't finished yet. Hey, how about a massage? You seem really tense lately, and I just bought those lotions, I want to put them to good use. Plus, I've been told I have magic fingers." I really wanted to do something nice and special for Gareth, he deserved it. He smiled over at me in joy.
"Wow, ok. That'd be awesome. Thanks, babe."
"Alright, cool. Well, just strip down to your skivvies and lay on your stomach. I'll start with the back and work my way to the front."
"Sure." Gareth flung his shirt off and removed his pants before rifling through the bag. While he was a bit on the slim side in regards to my body type preference of men, he had great muscle definition in his arms, back, and chest, with a V outline of his pelvis becoming more visible. Either way, he totally knew how to rock a pair of boxer briefs. As Gareth turned around, I smiled, noticing the tattoo on his back.
"When did you get it?" I asked, delicately tracing my fingers on his skin. It was a tattoo of a green eyed purple owl on a tree branch, encircled with red and orange leaves and blue and green flowers. Underneath it was Autumn Montana's name and birthday. The tattoo was obviously Pipper, her Beanie Boo that I had seen her with throughout the day.
"When she was a year old, Theresa and I decided to get matching tattoos. Since it was for our daughter, I figured it wouldn't be a kiss of death. Boy, was I wrong."
"Either way, it's beautiful."
"What about lighting some of these candles? That could be kind of fun."
"Yeah, go for it." I could tell by him saying that that he was trying to set the mood for intimacy and romance, and I began to feel eager and anxious, my indecisiveness threatening to get the better of me.
Gareth laid down as I sat on the edge of the bed, squeezing some of the Secret Wonderland lotion in my hand. The peachy, sugarplum scent of the lotion mingled with the aroma of vanilla, coconut, red apple, and peppermint being exuded from the candles, turning the room into a warm yet early winter dream. "If you have any other kids, will you get tattoos for them, also?"
"Hmmm, that's a great question. I don't know, it depends. Probably."
"Do you want more children in the future?" I began running my hands up the back of his left calf, rubbing the lotion in before going down to his foot, massaging between his toes. It might not have been the right question to ask, but I was curious.
"Yeah, at least one more, maybe two or three. I'm from a big family, so it makes sense, but I'd like to be married to the next woman I have children with. What about you? Do you see that in the cards for your future?"
Although I was hesitant, I found myself smiling as I finished with his right leg and began working on his back. "Absolutely. With the right person, of course. It wasn't Ben, and now we'll clearly never know if it was going to be Aiden." I sighed heavily, regretting my reply just a little bit, a hint of tension hanging in the air. It scared me that no matter whom I end up with- whether it's Gareth or somebody else- that I may not be able to love them as much as I loved Aiden. Except in my heart, I really did love Gareth and wanted to be with him. Tara was right, I was driving myself insane waiting for the silver lining to unravel, I need to fully relax.
"Well, I can definitely see you being a mother. You're terrific with children. Autumn Montana thinks the world of you. Wow, you were right. You really do have magic fingers. I've been a knotted mess for weeks, and now I feel so relaxed."
"I guess I have the touch. Autumn Montana is an absolute darling. You've done an outstanding job with her. Alright, now the front."
As Gareth rolled over, looking up at me, I straddled him to massage his chest and arms. When I felt his massive erection on my sex and his large hands massaging my hips, I couldn't help but get turned on as well. I could feel my face heating up, which made me look down as I began massaging his arms.
"I like to think I learn from her just as much as she learns from me. Melody…"
When I finally looked into his eyes, he leaned up, putting his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me in for a sensual kiss as he laid me down. I moaned into his mouth and gripped his hair, overtaken by the ardor that had been building up all day from not being this intimate with him. His hands explored, hungry for the touch of more, which was when my fears crept up on me while he tried to unhook my bra with one hand and unbutton the shirt with the other.
"No, don't look. I'm disgusting." I desperately tried to button the shirt. Even though I had gained some confidence, I was still self conscious that Gareth would feel the silvery stretch marks or the rolls of fat, both of which had gone down, but not entirely. It was certainly a downgrade from how lascivious I was the other day, but I had explained that my sexual zeal came and went. I would always be haunted by the insulting voices of my past, no matter how I changed. My thoughts began to torment me with visions of Gareth with Genevieve, how she was so stunning and probably a sexual feline. It made me feel like I was going to disappoint him somehow. He stopped kissing me and stood up, extending his hand out.
"Come with me, I want to show you something."
I placed my hand in his and followed him out of the bed, where he led me into his closet, turning the light on and standing us in front of the mirror before getting behind me, putting his hands on my shoulders.
"What do you see, Melody?"
"I don't see what I want to look like. All I see is a mess that might possibly be flawed beyond repair, no matter how hard I try. Not everybody is meant to be beautiful and I've accepted that I'm one of those people." This was unfortunately true. All the laser work would never make anything go away 100%, I brought this on myself taking solace in food and caving in to my depression, and now it was ruining what should be a magnificent experience for me.
"That's not what I see."
"What do you think you see?"
"I don't think, I know." His arms wrapped around me and started unbuttoning the shirt one by one as he spoke. "I see a girl- no, a young woman- who is so loving, so smart, and so stunning. A young woman who puts a smile on my face and that is always on my mind, who I've been waiting for ever since the day we met, who I want with my entire carnal desire, more than anything I can think of."
Gareth opened the shirt, exposing the front of my body as his hands circled my stomach and hips. I tried to look away, feeling my eyes watering in despondency and discontent of myself, but when I felt his chin on my shoulder I glanced up. I know that I was probably exaggerating with how bad I looked, but I didn't feel entirely beautiful, not like how Gareth claimed to see me.
"I never want to hear you say anything like that again about yourself. You're so beautiful, inside and out, one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met. How can I help you see that?"
I looked down, trying hard to hide my tears. "I don't know."
"Melody, please. Let me look at you. It won't be like it was before, I won't hurt you like they did. Give yourself to me." Our gazes met in the mirror, passion and sincerity in his eyes. All I could do was nod, deciding to take a risk, because I had to believe in his words.
"Gareth, you're the first man that's gone out of his way to assure my feelings and confidence, who is so sensitive, so compassionate, and so handsome. A man who makes me feel fearless and invincible on top of the world, that I can't stop thinking about. I want you, too, so badly, and I think we've waited long enough. You have me, you've always had me. Ever since the night we met."
I turned around and stepped forward as he bent down, closing the space between us with a tender kiss, allowing him to slip the shirt off my body. My arms wrapped around his neck as his were around my now half naked waist, our bodies pressed together. He swooped me up bridal style and walked us back to the bed, our eyes never breaking contact as he laid me down.
We continued to softly kiss while undressing one another at a languid pace until all our clothes were on the floor, leaving us completely naked and entangled in each other's arms. Gareth's hand moved down, his fingers stroking my wet lower lips as he kissed my breasts, grabbing a condom from the nightstand.
"Wait, I'll do it." I said in between kisses, taking the condom out of his hand.
"Really?"
I nodded, tearing the package in half. "Lie down and relax." Once Gareth was on his back, I moved down, grabbing his rock hard length. When I told him that he had a gorgeous cock, I meant it. Dicks are like diamonds, being measured by carat size, cut, color, and clarity. I've only had it in my mouth, that was all I could go by, but I already knew that I thought it was flawless.
His member was a perfect tan color, neatly circumcised, and long enough to where I could put the whole thing in my mouth and not gag. Truth be told, I enjoy giving blowjobs as much as the guy loves getting them. After making it nice and slick, I put the condom in my mouth, having to do everything not to gag on the awful lubricated taste as I made my way down until it was fully applied on his shaft.
"Mmm, Melody, that's so hot." Gareth moaned as I sucked my way back up. Not wanting to wait a moment longer, he grabbed me and turned us over, positioning himself on top. "I've been waiting for this for so long, you're the only one I want."
"Me too, Gareth. I really have." I put my hands on his face, staring deep into his soulful greenish brown eyes as he rested his arms on either side of me.
More than anything, I wanted to say how much I was in love with him, but my mother taught me and Lori that the man is supposed to say the first "I love you".
Gareth pushed forward, shuddering as he penetrated me, and I bit his shoulder, letting out a deep moan as I sucked the skin. He was so thick and the snugness of the condom made the fit tighter. Luckily, it was more stimulating than painful. He looked down on me with concern.
"Melody, are you-"
I shook my head and pulled him in. "Just keep kissing me." His mouth melted into mine, our bodies fused together as one.
"Oh, my god. You're so tight and warm, I love how I feel inside you." He moved down and began kissing my neck. "Are you comfortable?"
"Mmmhmm." I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. "I love how I can feel you all the way in my stomach. Keep going."
What I was experiencing now with Gareth really was beautiful, extraordinary even. It was everything he had promised -sweet, passionate, tender- not to mention incredibly erotic. I didn't feel dirty or useless, I actually felt safe and admired. I now knew that sex was more than just an animalistic act or casual activity. This time, I wasn't imagining Aiden, because everything I wanted with him I was receiving now from Gareth, that making love was real, because I was already so in love with him.
Gareth increased his thrusts to a comfortable speed, our foreheads pressed together as we ardently kissed. He pulled away and leaned into my ear, his whispers softening the whole experience in such a delightful way.
"Melody, you're gorgeous. I want to make you feel good, my sexy girl."
"You are, and I do. Nobody has ever made me feel this good before." This was unfortunately true; with the few lovers I've had being selfish or clumsy, henceforth why I've never had a real orgasm.
The sensation whirled inside me, and I felt such a rush. Bombs detonating, fireworks exploding, volcanoes erupting, being taken to the top of the galaxy on a roller coaster, with the drop plummeting into erotic liberation. I could feel my body begin to tense up and pulsate everywhere, my legs shaking uncontrollably, my toes curled. At this point, I didn't care if the President or Hannibal Lecter barged in, I was going to see this through to the end.
"OH, GOD! GARETH!"
I threw my head back, feeling like I was melting and exploding all at once. My vision blurred and my whole body began tingling, my moans almost to the point of screams.
GARETH
"That's it, Melody. Don't allow anything to hold you back, this is how it's meant to happen. You look so hot, I'm close and it's all for you, baby."
Melody clutched onto my back as I picked up the pace, her body shaking violently. I was enthralled watching her orgasm, it was a truly magnificent sight and turning me on like no other. Her toes curling into the sheets and her back arched, followed by her walls clenching tightly around my member, sending me to my own climax as I could feel her wetness pooling out.
"MELODY!"
I quivered, releasing my desire inside the condom, shaking Melody with my cock while we exchanged wet, sloppy kisses. I was unsure if it was because the last time I had sex was almost six months ago or the fact that she had a virgin's tightness, but I felt drained by the time I was done coming. This was unfortunate, because I really, really enjoyed myself and I couldn't wait to do it again, I wanted Melody to be my goddess in and out of the bedroom.
Our bodies sticky from the sweat of sex, our panting lungs desperately trying to regain normal breathing, I saw that Melody's eyes had been watering. "Don't cry, I've got you." I wiped her tears away with my finger. Even though I was touched, I also knew that crying was common after a woman experiences an orgasm. I just hoped it was from that and not something else, this moment was too seamless for either one of us to be sad.
"Sorry, now I'm really embarrassed. You must think I'm some kind of freak."
I shook my head. "No, not at all." I leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss, cradling her in my arms. "I love the sounds you make when you orgasm."
"Really?" She blushed, which made my heart beat even faster for her. To me, Melody was perfect, and she was perfect because she was real.
"Yes, sweetheart. It turned me on very much."
She yawned before curling up against me, her head sinking into the pillow. "That was phenomenal, much better than anything I've ever read or seen. We finally did it."
"Yeah, and without the spontaneous cock blockers."
"Ain't that the truth. If Beth knew, she wouldn't have bothered getting me, but Autumn Montana is the cutest of them all." Melody put her hand on my face as she tiredly blinked her eyes. "Can I ask you something, Gareth?"
I kissed the back of her hand. "Of course."
"Why didn't we meet before? Like why did it take us such a long time to find each other?" Her voice trailed off as she spoke.
"Hmmm. Well, to be honest, I don't know. Time has a weird way of working itself out and people come into our lives when we least expect it. Either way, I'm glad you're in my life."
Melody smiled as her eyes closed. "So am I. Really, really glad." That was her last sentence before she fell asleep.
Wow, that orgasm really wore her out. Thank you, Playboy Magazine.
I looked down with a smile at her sleeping form, so angelic and beautiful. It had been me that brought her to that extraordinary high and it would be to teach her all the arousing joys of sex. "I love you. I love you so much, Melody." I whispered as I kissed her on the cheek and wrapped my arms around her waist, closing my eyes. More than anything, I had wanted to tell Melody when we were making love, but I didn't want her to think it was only in the heat of the moment. Soon enough, I would tell her. Timing is everything.
4:45 AM
I awoke to the faint sound of coyotes howling in the night outside my window. Grabbing my Rolex off the nightstand to see it was a quarter to five, I came to find that it was twilight, the colors of the evening giving way to the blues and purples of the impending sunrise. Waking up with Melody was fantastic, having her in my bed, in my arms, it felt so natural and I wouldn't mind it becoming a daily fixture. My hand travelled down the curve of her body, gently caressing before giving her bottom the tiniest love tap as I softly kissed her neck. She looked incredibly sexy, and I just couldn't help myself. Lazily grabbing a condom, I ripped the package off with my teeth and rolled it over my full mast. Pulling Melody in close, I moved her knee to the side as I entered whilst kissing her neck, smiling when I heard the faintest moan from the back of her throat.
MELODY
I thought I was dreaming to feel Gareth inside me once again, but waking up this way was definitely something new. The next thing I felt were his hands on my stomach as he moved slowly. I opened my eyes and looked over my shoulder, our gazes meeting. It didn't take long for me to get into the rhythm of things as I started to swivel my hips on his length and wrapped my hand around the nape of his neck, our lips joining in a series of lazy yet sweet kisses. Gareth's hands moved up from my stomach to my bare breasts, gently kneading them together, my nipples hardening between his fingers.
There is no place I'd rather be right now than the comfort of this man's bed, the warmth of his arms, the feel of his body against mine. As Gareth continued kissing me, one hand went behind my head, intertwining the fingers of my stretched out right hand while the other hand made its way down my stomach to my womanhood, his thumb rubbing my clit in circles that were perfectly synchronized with his deep thrusts.
"Gareth, you're so deep. Go faster."
He abided with my request, kissing my neck as he sailed in and out. Every time he entered me, I could feel my heart rate speeding up whenever he hit my G spot. My vision blurred once again as the coiling of my stomach spread further, causing me to bury my head in the pillow as another mind-blowing orgasm ripped through and took over my whole body.
"GARETH! OH, MY GOD!"
Our bodies began a dance of spasms as we simultaneously came, the feel of his rod jerking inside me only added to the pleasuring sensation, the room scored with pants, moans, and whimpers. All I could see was rainbow light exploding behind my eyes, simmering to black and white dots as I floated down from the peak of sex.
Once our labored breathing decreased, I looked over my shoulder at him with the biggest smile on my face. "Good morning to you, too."
Gareth returned the smile, laying on his side. "Great morning is more like it. How are you feeling?"
"That was incredible, both times. It completely exceeded my expectations." I rolled on top of him as his hands clasped around my lower back over the sheets.
"Are you talking about sex with me or just an orgasm?"
"Both, duh." I giggled as I started kissing his whole face, making him laugh. Morning sex worked wonders, my happiness was implausibly high right now. "You really know what you're doing."
"I can't even begin to imagine what the hell you were with before I came along, but I can say with confidence that now you know what it's like to be made love to by a real man."
"That's true. I have a feeling that there will be many orgasms and lots of sex in our amatory future, won't there?"
He nodded. "Absolutely. Who says we have to wait for the future when there's right now?" Gareth winked with his trademark smirk, flipping me over and giving me a sexy kiss before licking and kissing down my body, turning my giggles of glee into moans of rapture as he proceeded the act that his adorable little cock blocker interrupted four days earlier …
7:20 AM
GARETH
After swimming ten laps in the pool and going on a two mile run, I decided to relieve my limbs with a nice, steaming shower, sighing happily as the water hit my body. Morning sex always left me invigorated (it really is the best start to the day), and right now, I was completely content, everything was even better than I could imagine.
"Gareth?" Melody knocked on the shower door. She was sleeping when my alarm went off at almost six in the morning and still when I got back in five minutes ago, and what a sight it had been. Her long, honey brown hair cascading down her bare back, nestled into my pillow with the slightest hint of a smile as she happily dreamed, my sleeping beauty.
"Yes?"
"Hey, uh, I was kind of wondering if I could, um..." I opened the door to see her standing there, my shirt unbuttoned just to her navel, perfectly covering her breasts. Grinning from ear to ear, I flicked the last two buttons, fully opening the shirt before nodding my head behind me.
"Get in here." I pushed the shirt off and pulled her in, closing the door behind us before I looked down, still smiling at her sinuous body under the showerhead. "God damn."
She cocked her head to the side with a questioning look. "What?"
"You're gorgeous, but the sight of you fully naked is just breathtaking." I bit my lip, giving her a suggestive look.
Melody started giggling, a blush spreading across her cheeks as she looked away. "Oh, stop."
I smiled, loving how she can be both sexy and shy at the same time. What I liked the most was that her sexual confidence varied, so it made it that much easier for flattery. Grabbing the bottle of vanilla honey body wash that matched her taste, I poured some into my hand. "What? I'm serious." I turned Melody around, my hardened self poking into her backside, running my hands all over and lathering her up, starting with those magnificent breasts. "Don't you feel what you do to me? I swear, you have the best boob to hip ratio I've ever seen." My hands then glided down to her hips. "Melody, you're a bombshell, and no matter what, I will make you see that."
She turned around in my hold and leaned up, kissing me with such fervor as she pulled us under the showerhead, our wet bodies pressed together as my fingers probed inside of her. We separated, just staring into each other's eyes. Here I was with a beautiful girl I was crazy about in my arms, and this shower was our safe haven from the world. There was nothing more that I wanted than for this moment to last forever.
"It's so peaceful in here with you." Melody rested her head on my chest as I held her to me.
"Yes, it is. So we're together now, right?" I looked down at her, our gazes meeting instantaneously. It may have seemed a bit forward, but I figured the timing was right. We had gone through more in almost two months than the average couple, so why not take the next step?
"Huh? Wait, are you saying you don't do what we did twice with all your friends?" She gasped, putting a hand to her face. "Martin and Albert will be so disappointed."
I chuckled, rolling my eyes. "Very funny. I'm serious though."
"What, you mean like Facebook official?"
"Ok, who set the precedent that relationships in this day and age only mean something if they're "Facebook official"? First my sister, now you, you girls are nuts."
Melody smirked as she grabbed my shampoo bottle, squirting some of the goo on her hand before rubbing her fingers through my hair. "Hey, we're girls. It's a big deal to us. Being Facebook official with somebody is so we can show to the world that we're taken. That and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't done just to show off a little bit." She stepped back, admiring her work on my head. "Awww, you look so cute with spiked hair. Bumble and Bumble, you've got the good stuff."
I returned the favor, massaging her scalp with the shampoo as I rinsed my hair out. "Don't try to Segway, little lady."
She looked up at me, her eyes seeming bigger now that she was naked in the light and soaked from head to toe. At first, Melody's facial expression seemed to be vulnerable, like she couldn't believe my words, but then she smiled. "Gareth, don't you remember what I said last night? You've always had me, you don't even have to ask."
Hearing this twice really had me in great spirits. I could stop doubting, she just confirmed that she wanted to be with me as much as I wanted to be with her. Alas, I was going to hold off on telling her "I love you" while she's awake for a little bit longer.
"You've always had me, too, and you will for as long as you want me." I cupped her face and kissed her tenderly, our tongues slowly crossing back and forth in the tranquility of this shower. When we separated, Melody was smiling.
"So will you. I appreciate you washing me off and for pleasuring me all night long, but now it's time I return the favor." She shot me a wink before sinking down to her knees as I watched her swallow my erection whole. Her eyes never left mine while she bobbed her head up and down and I felt myself go weak in the knees.
"Oh, fuck. Babydoll…"
9:30 am
MELODY
"Gareth. Gareth. Gareth. Gareth. Gareth. Dad. Dad. Dad. Daddy. Daddy. Daddy. Dada. Dada. Dada. Da. Da. Da. Dad. Dad. Dad. Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!"
After our sexy shower, Gareth and I had gotten dressed and cuddled up in his bed, only to fall back asleep again. The sound of the door creaking slightly stirred me from my sleep, but I figured it was the sounds of the house. When Autumn Montana started pulling a Stewie Griffin, I felt panicked. How would she react to seeing me in her father's bed? Should I slip out or stay in? I could just imagine her drawing pictures of this for a child psychologist and everybody's screwed.
"Gareth." I whispered. "What should I do?"
He groaned in his sleep, pulling me in tighter with his arms and legs. "Nothing. Stay here with me." Gareth cleared his throat, and I had a feeling his eyes were still closed, too. "Sweetie pie, Sunday is the only time Daddy gets to sleep in. Why are you up so early?"
"The big hand is on the six and the little hand is on the nine, that's not that early. I'm bored, Daddy, and I miss you." The next thing I felt was the end of the bed slightly sinking as Autumn Montana climbed up, followed by the light snorting of Violet.
"I know, baby, but if Daddy doesn't get enough sleep then he can't do a good job at work, and then there's no money to buy all those Build-A-Bears you want."
She started giggling. "You're silly, Daddy. Hi, Melody."
"Hi, pumpkin." I opened my eyes to see Autumn Montana at the end of the bed wearing pink Tenderheart Care Bear pajamas, holding Pipper in one hand and Elsa in the other as Violet sniffed her feet. "I've got an idea for you. You know how to count and tell time, right?"
"Uh huh." She nodded.
"Ok, so how about this: Why don't you go back to your room, wash your face, brush your teeth and hair, get dressed, and make your bed. When the little hand is on the ten and the big hand is on the twelve, come back and we'll be up, alright?"
"Ok! Come on, Violet!" The duo got off the bed, with Violet snorting and hopping away behind Autumn Montana. I smiled as I snuggled back into the pillow.
"How'd you get so great with kids?" Gareth asked, stroking my hip.
"Well, I did spend some time with my sisters when they were little. That and during junior year, Tara and I were teacher aides for a kindergarten class at the elementary school down the road as our elective. We became good friends with Lana, the teacher, and we even baby sat her son Hunter sometimes."
"Impressive and a total natural. You're amazing, Melody." He started kissing behind my ear, which I couldn't help but giggle over.
"Hey, I'm just trying to be the best me I can. Are you sure this is ok? She's not going to say anything to Theresa?"
"I don't think so, she didn't seem too shocked."
"I hope not. We should probably get up. I wish you had your own place, I really want to make you breakfast." I rolled over and stared up at him, drawing invisible patterns into his bare chest with my finger.
"You still can if you want to, what's on your mind?"
"Hmmm, it is Pancake Sunday. I've been told I make the best chocolate chip Mickey Mouse pancakes from scratch. If only Lori would take a page from my book."
"I'm sure they're delicious. Hey, why don't you invite them and your mom over for brunch?"
I raised a questioning eyebrow. "Really, you think?"

Honestly, I was flattered. Gareth really was serious about being together. Even though I had had boyfriends before, they were abnormal relationships more or less. The normal things like this that are supposed to happen are still so new to me, but I am ready to embrace the change. I smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek before grabbing my phone. "Totally. I can't wait, and you're right. It will be fun."
