Chapter 13

THE NEXT DAY

Waking up at 7:00am had given Melissa plenty of time. Today was going to be a busy one.

First was her date with Blake, then she would move her clothes and work stuff back to her parents home.

Grabbing the medium sized black and dark blue suitcase Melissa started to fold stuff that she needed. Just a few bits, business suits, clothes to relax in, her favourite oversized jumper that fell to just below her bum, several pairs of shoes to match her outfits, hairdryer, straighteners.

Leaving the case open on the bed, she grabbed a dark blue towel from the cupboard and went for shower.

After finishing her shower, with the towel wrapped around her body and her long her wet hair covered in a towel, she heard her phone ring.

Grabbing it and hitting the answer button “Hello Jackson.” She said cheerily.

“What do you want?” Jackson asked caution in his voice. Melissa rarely relied on anyone so for her to send a text message late at night and ask Jackson a favour, so Jackson naturally worried.

“I need to go home and look after my family’s dogs for a while. Now I know how much you like my place. Would you mind staying here for as long as I am gone.” Melissa asked Jackson because he was still constrained to living at home but also because she could trust him. “Ok. Can Julian stay too?” Jackson asked

“Well duh.” Came Melissa’s response “I thought that was a given” she chuckled. “I’ll send you a text later when to come collect the keys.”

Lazily Jackson said “K bye.” After hanging up the phone Melissa dried herself and got changed.

Melissa had decided upon the black figure hugging skinny jeans, that clung to her long legs making them look even longer, the curve of her bottom and hips. For her top she wore a royal blue vest top, that highlighted her ample chest making it look larger than it was.

She wore a simple black brushed leather jacket that made her slim waist look even slimmer. On her feet she wore a pair of brand new black and blue Adidas trainers.

Light make up in her face, waterproof mascara, and just a hint of lipstick Melissa grabbed her hairbrush and unravelled her hair from the towel. It was now dry and she grabbed a hair tie and pulled it up into a high ponytail.

Looking at her phone she could see she had a little bit of time left. An hour to be exact before Blake was to arrive.

Tidying away the wet towels into her hamper, and boiling a kettle this morning she would have to make do with instant coffee, as the kettle screamed and clicked off she got her favourite mug.

It was a mug the Ryan had bought for her on a school day trip. It had monkeys on one side and was blue and yellow. It had had the handle replaced from where it had been knocked of the counter and a chip in the centre. Melissa wouldn’t throw it out, because of the sentiment of it.

Drinking the hot, bitter liquid Melissa had to admit she was a bit excited, she hadn’t been to an amusement park in a long time, she hoped that they had roller coasters, she loved the thrilling and exhilarating experience of a rollercoaster.

As time ticked on she drained her coffee, putting the mug into the dishwasher. Her phone beeped

Blake - I’m outside your place.

Melissa - Ok. On my way!

Grabbing her keys and putting her phone in her jacket pocket Melissa headed out of the door.

Blake was stood by his truck, dressed in a black jumper and jeans. His face lit up when he saw Melissa. That aching in his loins was back again. Her face looked like she hadn’t made any effort with make up, yet she still looked amazingly beautiful, she stood in front him smiling “Hi” his eyes drank in every inch of her. Committing her to memory, the longs length of her legs in the skinny jeans, the jacket. Kissing her gently on the cheek, he didn’t dare do anymore otherwise he’d lose control and rip her clothes off and fuck her there and then.

“You look beautiful.” Was all he said walking round to the passenger side, he opened the door as she climbed in.

Noticing how ladylike she was, her long legs god how he yearned for them round his waist. Shaking his head as he slammed the door Blake wondered what was wrong with him. He was like a horny teenager, in fact he hadn’t been like this as a teen.

Getting in the truck, Blake smiled. “Let’s go.” Was all he said before he reversed out of the car park.

The amusement park was an hour away. And Blake and Melissa chatted.

“So you live alone?” Blake asked he was trying to see how long it had been since Melissa had a boyfriend.

“Yeah I have done since I was about 20. First in the U.K. then in New York now here.” She replied. Looking at everything but Blake.

Melissa didn’t understand this yearning she had to touch Blake, hold his hand, run her hands over his chest, grab his hair as he kisses her neck. Melissa could feel her cheeks heat up.

Breathing deep she readied herself for Blake’s questions “So not much chance for boyfriends then?” He asked nonchalantly

Smiling slightly “No. I’ve never had anything long term. It’s only ever been dates. It’s never gotten serious.” Melissa explained

Blake grinned inwardly at this, she’d never had more than dates, she wasn’t the sort to have one night stands, Blake could tell that from miles away. One more question should confirm his suspicions

“So when was you last long term boyfriend?” Blake asked kind of not wanting to hear the answer

Melissa replied with a mysterious look on her face “14 years ago.”

It took Blake a couple of seconds to realise what her age was “You were 11?”

She nodded and said “Yes.” Laughing she placed a hand on his arm as it lay on the steering wheel. “What about you? When was your last serious girlfriend?”

Blake smiled and said “Ok you win. I have never had a serious girlfriend.”

The amusement park car park approached and Melissa removed her hand as he pulled into a parking space near the entrance. Taking off her belt Blake had already got out of the truck and opened her door.

“You don’t have to keep opening doors for me you know.” Melissa said as she stepped out “But thank you.”

As they approached the ticket booth, Melissa got her phone out. She had wanted to surprise Blake. On Friday when he’d confirmed their date she brought two Platinum VIP Tickets. That allowed them to skip all the queues, and they could stay at the park all day if they wanted to. Even into the evening. It also allowed rental of bathing costumes for the hotels swimming pool and sauna.

Melissa said “I’ve got these.” Showing the email to the ticket clerk. He smiled and printed off “PLATINUM WRIST BANDS”

“Your wrist please.” The ticket clerk said

Fixing the wristband in place Blake leaned over “You’re sly.”

Melissa held up her hands in resignation “I plead the fifth.” Smiling Blake took Melissa’s hand and they walked through the turnstile, turning towards her he said with humour in his voice “Brits can’t plead the fifth, it’s for Americans only.” Then he places a simple but breathtaking chaste kiss on her pink full lips. Melissa sighs as Blake pulls away. Pulling her hand he grabs a map and they sit on a bench looking at where to start first.
