Melody stared up at the ceiling, thinking about what had just happened between she and Brent. The kiss was unexpected and had taken her breath away. He tasted sweet, fresh and she loved every minute of it. She had always thought sharing saliva was disgusting and had always puked whenever her twin, Luci told her things like that. Luci would laugh it off, saying Mel was a grandma and didn't understand what real enjoyment was. Mel had threw Luci a dirty glare, saying it was harsh to refer to her as an old woman. Luci had added that, when Mel finally found love, she would cease being pessimistic about kiss. Mel had rolled her eyes to that.

She turned and tossed, lost in thought. What was she supposed to do now? It would be better to cut off ties with Brent and maintained a distance between them. It's not like she knew him that well, heck, she didn't even know anything about hi

" I got a job " Lucille choked on her drink and Diana's mouth hung open. They both looked at Melody, speechless. Luci found her voice first.

" You did what?! " Mel's face gave nothing away and she nodded.

" Words, Melody Evans " Diana said quietly.

" Yeah " Mel finally voiced out.

" At where? " Luci was curious.

" This is hilarious! You wanna be a waitress in Sara's restaurant? Come on, it doesn't suit you " Luci looked horrified.

" Right now, I'm not looking for a job that suit me. I just want to have something to do. I'm tired of staying home all day " She sighed.

" Coming from someone who enjoys solitude more than anyone else " Luci retorted.

" Enough, guys! " Diana sna

Mel seemed to zone out for a minute before Brent's words brought her back.

" Are you really sure you're okay?. You must be shocked, I understand. Would you like to go inside? " He suggested" we can always talk another time ". Brent was not really happy with the idea but he had to make sure she was okay. To him, her safety and convenience came first before any other thing.

" No I'm good but who on earth was that?!" She asked, eyes widening in horror.

" It's nothing to worry about, baby girl. I'll handle it". He replied, winked and half smiled, the smile not quite reaching his eyes though.

" But you know them, right?" Mel pressed, refusing to let go of the matter just like that when she had been almost crushed by that God-damned car. It had almost cost her her dear life. She initially thought the hit-and-run car was meant for her but then, she had no enemies she knew of.
