MELANIE“A blue jeans and black top?” I asked, turning around.The jeans held onto my waist and thighs while the top highlighted my waistline. “Are you sure this is the best option?” I asked,“He said it was a simple dinner, didn’t he?”“Yes, but he’s wealthy. What if his form of casual was-““Relax, girl.” Allison immediately interrupted, “he will be here in fifteen minutes. That’s not enough time to get your makeup done, and style your hair.”“What’s wrong with my hair?” I asked, running my hand through it.“Nothing.”“Why do you want me to change it?”“Come sit,” she said, pulling the chair open.Without an argument, I took a seat.“In the year you wasted your time with that piece of shit you called a boyfriend, you have absolutely no idea how much I prayed that you would leave his sorry ass. Now that my wish has come through, I will not let you jinx this. You will get your hair, and make up done. You will be ten times prettier than he expects. I need to see his face glow in excit

MELANIE Sitting quietly in the car was all I needed to remind myself that I should never have let myself agree to this. I looked out the window, watching as a child danced right in front of a candy shop. The way her blonde hair bounced as her shoes lit up. Her face was widened in a bright smile while her mother who held her hand was conversing with another. That view was the only advantage of leaving my house. My phone buzzed yet again. It had to be the fiftieth buzz in the last ten minutes.I didn’t need to pick up my phone just to know it was my mother sending her frantic texts. On one hand, I wanted to give her the reply burning through my chest, but on the other, I knew it would only spiral into me breaking down yet again. I sighed, watching as the car drove into the compound. As soon as it was parked, I stepped down. “Thank you,” I appreciated the driver as I walked into the building.The lights in the house were bright, but there was no one in sight.“Thank God…” I murmured a

MELANIE  Seeing Rafael in a rumpled shirt wasn’t on my bingo card. I got off the chair, and slowly walked behind him.   I could feel the tuning in my ear as Allison trailed us. What if he had decided against helping me? Did he think I was incompetent? Or did my mother reach out? She had a knack for ruining things she hadn’t orchestrated…  I touched the tip of my fingers, as I forced my arms to the side.   I felt his eyes take a sweep over my frame. His gaze fell when he met my face. “Melanie,”  “Yes, sir?” My voice croaked. I could feel my heart thrumming on my chest. For some reason, I believed I could feel the blood rushing through my ears.  He took an unreasonably long pause. Was he considering his words? Was he rethinking his

MELANIE  Clamping my fingers shut, I hitched my breath, in an attempt to ease the tension in my chest. Fuck. Why did I still have clear memories of his body? The way his skin glowed in that room, and his brooding gaze as he focused on the paper.  Allison picked up a pair of boots, and I watched as she placed them on. The party was to begin at eleven pm, and it was five minutes to the time.  “I’ll be back home by 4:30 or 5 ish in the morning. Could you leave the room door unlocked?” She asked,  “Sure,” I answered, walking into the restroom.  The door opened behind me, and her neck poked into the room, “I still don’t get why you don’t want to go to the club this evening.”  I pulled down my shorts and sat on the toilet. “I don

MELANIE  The feel of his lips on mine. I let out a silent moan, as I grabbed onto the back of his head.  His cologne filled my nostrils as I pressed my lips harder on his.   “Mhmm…” he moaned into my mouth.  His hand cupped my chin as he tilted my face forward.  Fuck.   He tasted like caffeine, and the sweet feel of desire.  The heat in the room rose as his hands moved through my tingling skin. His tongue took over my mouth.  I could feel his fingers gently sliding my top upwards.  His palms cupped my left boob.  My legs slightly spread.  I wanted him. I wanted him now.
