Chapter Thirty: Cover Girl and Birthday Boy
Woodbury's Studio, Thursday, 12:00 AM
MELODY
"Is everything ready yet?" I glanced over at Martin from my spot in front of the mirror.
"Yeah, just about. The only thing you need to worry about is looking hot to trot."
Rosita nodded, resting her arm on his shoulder. "He's right, Chica, and might I say that you're already looking gorgeous."
"That's because I'm the one that dolled her up, but considering how naturally pretty Melody is, it really wasn't a stretch at all." Aaron smiled as he spritzed me with Garnier hair spray.
My entourage-well, most of them- were currently M.I.A. due to prior obligations the next day. Beth and Maggie both with classes, Stefon slated to arrive at 9:00 am to primp a gaggle of socialites for a Beverly Hills luncheon, Eric training a litter of snow leopard cubs, Alisha had to open Comic Dojo, and Daryl was in New York for Howard Stern. Although, what did I expect? While this was all pretty last minute (we had been setting up for an hour and a half), I was praying that this would pay off.
My idea for Gareth was to make him a sexy photo book, along with a behind the scenes DVD of the shoot that Glenn was filming. I had always wanted to do something like this, I was the one that took the pictures of Maggie for Glenn's Christmas present last year, I had just never found the time or the motivation to do it. Except now, Gareth was my motivation, as was my hard work to kick my depression and get back into shape again. I looked pretty great and felt wonderful, I wanted to further separate myself from insecurities.
The only ones here with me were Glenn, Noah being the DJ to set the mood, Rosita to coach me in "sexitude", Aaron to do my hair and makeup, Tara for emotional support, Martin to photograph it all, and Abraham and Eugene standing vigil on either side of Woodbury's studio. I was doing four looks- lingerie on a four poster California King, Giants cheerleader wearing a baseball hat, Bumgarner jersey, black cheekies, knee high socks with white sneakers, 50's pin up with a vintage Cadillac from 1956, and the last one was me wearing Gareth's leather jacket that I had gone so crazy over.
He'll never be able to wear that jacket again without thinking of me.
"If you weren't one of my best friends and we both weren't in relationships, I'd so hit on you." Tara said, to which I smirked.
"Like that hasn't stopped you before, homeslice."
"Alright, we're ready, Melody!"
I took a deep breath before standing up. This wasn't my first time, I used to take sexy selfies alone in my room, but this was different. Tonight, I was the star.
Aaron smiled at me, incredibly proud of his work. "Good luck, honey. He's going to dolphin flip over this."
"Thanks, Aaron. You've certainly got the touch."
We exchanged air kisses before I strutted to the pearlized white backdrop, clad in pink and blue rhinestoned lingerie. My nerves had disintegrated on the drive over and just like in dance, as soon as I heard the music, I'd forget everything and focus on the performance.
Noah started the stereo, "Love Me Harder" by Ariana Grande & The Weeknd blasting. I can't stand the mousy high-pitched diva, but the song is addicting and sexy, which is what I needed.
I love the way he smiles at me, or how he's wiped my tears away when I've cried, the way he holds me when we're in the most passionate and intimate of embraces, how he makes me laugh and drives me crazy and never lets go. Gareth may be a wired a little bit oddly, but he's my guy and this was one of the most personal things I could give him. With a smile, I laid down on the bed, rolling around and looking at the camera seductively, getting into the most provocative of poses while Martin snapped away, allowing my inner sexy to shine.
Later that night, Gareth's House, 8:15 pm
GARETH
"OH MY GOD! WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?! I CAN NOT UNSEE THIS! I ALSO CAN'T STOP WATCHING!" Melody shoved more popcorn into her mouth in between biting her fist.
"HOW are you even watching this? No wonder they call it "The Red Wedding", it's red with bloodshed! I can't breathe, I'm gonna have an anxiety attack!" Beth put her head between her legs.
"No, no, no! NOT ROBB!" Maggie slapped her hand on her thigh. "Damn it, the hot guys always get killed off! Whose next, Daario?!"
Melody nodded as chewed. "Oh my gosh, yes! He is soo gorgeous! Those smoldering sexy eyes and that delicious grin! I am DYING for him and Danerys to hook up! He, Robb, Drogo and Jaime are the yummiest guys on the sh-AHHH!"
All three of the girls simultaneously screamed as Black Walder slit Catelyn Stark's throat on Game of Thrones, killing her.
I glanced over at Glenn, Noah, Alex, and Albert, sharing a silent snicker. "Can you believe these three? They go from freaking out over some stab wounds to ogling the guys to screaming again, yet they all watch Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D.."
Noah and Glenn threw their heads back laughing.
"Chicks, man!" Albert said, chugging back a Bud Lite. "They get so mellow dramatic over a little blood!"
"I know, right?!" Alex started imitating in his girly voice "Eek! That's so scary! Ooo! Oh my gosh he's so yummy!"
"Well, to be honest, it wasn't that bad, I just wanted a reaction like the ones I've seen online. This wasn't so bad, I think Kahl Drogo burning Viserys to death with the molten gold crown was more terrifying than this. Also, you all know I COULD NOT stand Talisa, she was Robb's demise. I didn't like her for him like I don't like Andrea or Jane for Jesse on Breaking Bad."
"They can't all be you, Melo." Maggie said as she sipped her vanilla cherry Coca Cola, shooting her a mischievous wink.
"Good point. Besides, I already knew what was gonna happen." Melody winced as we all looked over at her, a guilty look on her face.
Beth's mouth flew open. "Melody! Why do you insist on spoilers?! Enjoy the suspense, woman!"
"I'm an anxious person, Bethy! I don't get why it bothers you so much."
"Well, shouldn't everybody have a surprise?"
I happened to glance over at Melody, seeing her eyes widen at Beth. As the Season 3 finale started, I couldn't help but wonder what was going on with my girlfriend, she had been acting a little off the past couple of days. "Hey," I elbowed her while the theme played. "you ok?"
She nodded, looking confused. "I'm fine, why do you ask?"
"You've been kind of distant the past couple days. I didn't hear from you at all yesterday after you left and today I wanted to take you to lunch but you didn't answer your phone. This isn't because you went outside your comfort zone the other night, is it?"
"What? No way!" Melody put her hand on my face. "I'm sorry, I've just been totally swamped trying to perfect everything for Thanksgiving next week and the competition, my sister is already running around headless chicken style, it's exhausting. I promise that this weekend will be relaxing and you'll have a fantastic time, alright?"
I nodded, knowing that she was probably just tired and that I had nothing to worry about. "Alright." Either way, I couldn't wait for my surprise.
Saturday, 1:00 pm
MELODY
"Is it ready to be frosted yet, Melody?" Autumn Montana asked, perched up on the counter top.
I nodded, evening out the layers I had just frosted and put together "Sure is, sweetheart. Wanna help me out?"
"Yeah!"
"Alright, let's do it then. What color do you want to do the outside since I did the layers?"
"Blue!"
"Blue? You got it! I'll take one side and you do the other." We giggled as I stirred the frosting. Autumn Montana had approached me on Sunday about wanting to do something special for Gareth's birthday. She had already made him a card but needed my help with something bigger, so I suggested we bake him a cake from scratch. Autumn Montana had been feeling much better, her spots were healing nicely, and she even attended dance class today. Lucky for us, Gareth had been out for the past couple hours, first having an early morning session with his personal trainer Lee Everett followed by lunch with Alex, Glenn, and Martin, so we had time. Autumn Montana was definitely a good little assistant, helping me with the ingredients and mixing everything together.
"Are you excited for your new baby brother or sister?" I asked while frosting the cake, which was devil's food layered with whipped cream, Gareth's favorite.
"Yep, sure am. Mommy says it's a girl and we're going to name her Carley. She'll be here in five more months, I'm so excited!"
"That's a nice name. I can tell you're going to be a good big sister. Little sisters get annoying sometimes, they try to wear your clothes, play in your makeup and mess with your toys, but just know that they always love you." I was such a terror when I was younger, trying on Lori's bras, listening to her phone calls with Rick, and drawing on the walls with her lipsticks. She would get angry but never for long, she adored me too much, which is why when she found out about Rick that would all be over, I would lose her forever.
"I know, I know. When are you and Daddy going to have a baby?"
Her sudden question almost made me drop my frosting knife, luckily I had finished the top of the cake and started squeezing out "Happy Birthday Daddy" with icing. Autumn Montana really was far beyond her years, it always blew me away. The topic of children had been on my mind a lot lately, but there was no way that Gareth and I should be having a child in the very near future, there was still so much I wanted to do. See the world, continue my studies, I wasn't sure if I wanted to follow the path of most of the women in my family and have a baby in my early twenties. I just hope that Gareth would wait for me.
"Well, Autumn. I don't know. I love your daddy and I love you, but it's still kind of too soon to figure all that out yet. Trust me, you'll understand when you're older."
All she did was shrug and pour pastel colored sprinkles on the cake. "Ok… but next time, maybe a little brother would be fun. Daddy is already around too many girls as it is."
"Ha, he sure is."
"Melody, babe, I'm home!"
"In the kitchen!" I looked over at Autumn Montana, silently shushing her, smiling as she tried not to giggle. When Gareth walked in, we both shouted "SURPRISE!"
"Happy birthday, Daddy!"
Gareth's shocked expression morphed into a huge grin as he walked over. "Surprise? For me? What do we have over here?"
We held up the cake so he could read it. "Autumn Montana wanted to do something special for you, so I helped her bake your favorite cake, devil's food with whipped cream."
"Awww, cupcake, you're the sweetest." He picked her up and kissed her on the cheek. "This is the best present a guy could ask for from his two favorite girls."
I smiled, this overwhelming feeling of love swelling inside me was so powerful and I never wanted it to end.
FIVE HOURS LATER
"Melody? Are you almost ready?"
"Uh-huh!" I walked out of Gareth's bathroom, to which he whistled at me in my tight white sweetheart lined tank top, skinny jeans, and black suede Dior boots.
"Hot damn! Look at you, pretty girl. Can't we just stay in so I can strip you down?"
I rolled my eyes, stifling a laugh. "Yeah, not even close. I've got an awesome night planned out for us."
We were going to RoxFest at The Roxy, which was a private event that Noah had helped me score tickets for. Amongst the artists on the list were Alabama Shakes, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, Sam Smith, Cage the Elephant, Paramore, Matt and Kim, Arctic Monkeys, and Bastille, the latter being one of mine and Gareth's all time favorites. Afterwards we'd probably grab a bite to eat at Mel's Diner before calling it a night.
"But first, I want to give you your present before we go. Happy Birthday, hot lips." I walked over and grabbed the shimmery silver bag from my overnight duffle before sitting on the bed. Inwardly taking a deep breath, I smiled as I handed it to him. "Here, open the thinner one first."
GARETH
"Ok." I pulled the thin package out of the bag to discover four pictures of different komodo dragons along with ownership certificates. I was in complete shock as I looked over at Melody. "What is this?!" I had to ask, even though I knew what it was.
"Well, the L.A. Zoo has been trying to expand their reptile exhibit and one of their komodo dragons had 53 babies. With a little help from Eric and lots of favors called in, you now own four komodo dragons at the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens. The blue one is a girl named Danerys, Drogon is the red one, Viserion is the orange one, and Rhaegal is the greenish yellow one. You said you always wanted a dragon, you love them so much, this was as close to the real deal as I could get. You can see them any time you want and have one hundred percent ownership over them."
My smile widened. "This is freaking awesome! Oh, my gosh! You named them after Danerys and her dragons on GoT! You are seriously the best girlfriend in the world." I leaned in to kiss her, but she put her hand up.
"Not yet, there's still one more thing."
"Alright, alright." I pulled out the package and unwrapped it to reveal a black photo book with a black and white photograph of Melody on the front, laying down and looking over her shoulder, the only color in the picture being the green-grey of her eyes. I opened the book, an inscription reading "To My Love" was on the front page.
I flipped through the book, checking out the pictures. The first section was of Melody in a sexy pink and blue bustier with a matching thong, rolling around on a king sized four poster bed with black sheets, looking seductive. The next set was of her in little sneakers and knee high socks wearing black boyshorts, her hair in a ponytail with a Giants baseball hat on her head, wearing the Bumgarner 35 jersey that I had bought after the Giants won the World Series. She was pretending to be a catcher in some pictures and a hitter, it was pretty cute. The third set consisted of Melody in a 1950's one piece red and white polka dotted one piece on a 1956 Cadillac, but the last set was my favorite. She was dressed only in a pair of white silk panties and my leather biker jacket, the one with the green and white stripes going down the sides.
"How did you do this?" I could not stop looking at the pictures, they were unbelievable. Her hair and makeup were flawless, she looked stunning in all of them and I was incredibly touched. I especially loved one of the pictures where she was looking off to the side and laughing, her smile radiant with her dimples popping.
"This is something I've always wanted to do, but the timing was never right. I used to take sexy pictures on my own, nothing like this, though. It's the first time I've done this kind of thing for somebody. I know that I have a lot of insecurities, but I wanted to give you something so you know that I know how much you love me and my body, just the way I am. I know that I should have just asked you about the jersey and the jacket, but I wanted this whole thing to be a total surprise, it's why I haven't been around much the past couple of days. Martin took the pictures and helped me compile the book, I edited them, Aaron did my hair and makeup, Glenn made you a behind the scenes DVD, too."
I raised an eyebrow, my eyes never leaving the book as I glanced through it again. "Martin as in my Martin? Martin Coy? Martin of Woodbury?"
"Yes, that Martin, silly. I know he's a big part of your life, which is why I called a truce. He was pretty respectful and did me a huge solid helping me with this. So, what do you think?"
I looked over to see she was a little apprehensive, did she think I would hate it? "Honey, these are excellent. You look gorgeous in all of them, I even want an 8x10 of this one so I can put it on my desk at Woodbury." I pointed to the aforementioned picture of her with my jacket.
"Are you crying?" Melody asked, wiping away my fallen tear. I hadn't even realized I was crying and became embarrassed, but nodded.
"A little, sorry. I'm just so very flattered, Melody. Nobody has ever done something so personal for me. You've grown so much, exposing more of yourself to me, and it's all I've ever wanted." I leaned in and kissed her tenderly.
By Melody making me this personalized photo book, she further proved that she was becoming more comfortable in her own skin and not shying away from her looks out of worry of what other people thought about her, that she could open up to me in every aspect imaginable.
"These are the best birthday presents ever."
"Ahh, you may think that now, but the night isn't over yet…"
2:45 AM
"That was so much fun! Oh, my gosh, the lead singer of Alabama Shakes certainly can wail on the guitar!"
I nodded as Melody dragged me into my room. "Yeah, she's awesome."
"And Bastille, they were so freaking incredible I almost cried. His voice is sooo sexy, it invades my soul, just like Rob Thomas."
"Yeah, and you invade my soul, pussycat." I pushed her down on the bed, getting on top of her back as I kissed her ears and neck, grinding into her denim covered ass, my fingers finding themselves down the front of her panties. Melody had rented us a town car for the evening, so I had gotten a little too drunk at the show, all I knew was that I had to have my girl in my bed right now.
Melody giggled before rolling me on my back and straddling. "Wait, wait! I've got another surprise for you."
I shook my head, grabbing her hips and trying to pull her inward for a kiss. "No more surprises, baby, I need you now."
She got off the bed and went into the bathroom. "Just be patient! Sheesh, I spoil you sexually, ya know that? Take a cold shower!"
"Not unless you're in it with me!"
I watched the bathroom door close before falling back on the bed, resting my eyes. This had really been an awesome birthday. At the beginning of the year, I hadn't been too excited for twenty eight, but already it was having a pretty great start. I have an amazing family, phenomenal job, great friends, a beautiful little girl and an absolutely drop dead gorgeous girlfriend, not to mention all the bare necessities. I was so thankful and fortunate.
"Oh, Wonderboy…"
I looked over to see Melody with her hair in a ponytail, completely undressed, frosting covering her body. A pink and purple bikini was painted on her private areas, along with stars and hearts of different colors all over her stomach. She smiled over at my awestruck face.
"I told you the night wasn't over yet."
I shot her a lascivious grin as I walked over, throwing my shirt off. "It isn't, and I plan on licking every square inch of you…"
