Mel POV
Sitting by the bar at our frequent brunch spot, Ocean's 11 Bar & Grill. I sipped my Corona beer waiting for William. This is what he does, invite me out to dinner or brunch, and either he is a no show or he arrives late. William is a sweet man, very kind, good at giving advice, but he doesn't open up to me, he doesn't talk about life goals, his work, his family, nothing. It has been a year since I came to the city, he gives me everything I want but I want more, I want to feel loved, wanted, appreciated. Maybe I am rushing into things, Maybe he isn't serious about our relationship.
I'll never forget the day I met him in a chat room online. He was funny, polite and a good listener, I vented to him about my parents, Lilith and her crazy dreams, the disappearance of two girls from my hometown, everything. But now he has changed, not like there is someone else or anything but it's like lusting after your favorite ca
Lilith POV“I don't know what happened, I poured myself some water and the next thing I remember is hearing the shattering of broken glass and my hand— I don't know what happened, Mel,” I explained.She knelt before me, wrapping my wounded hand with a brown, stretchy bandage, but she didn't respond, I don't think she hasn't been listening to this whole time,“Hey, are you ok?”“Oh sorry, I kind of zoned out a bit, What were you saying,” She chuckled.But her laugh came out pretentious, and I could easily tell,“Mel... Please don't shut me out, Tell me what's wrong.”Again, she didn't respond, she got up and started to pack away the first aid kit, ignoring my question, not meeting my gaze,“Nothing is wrong Lil, I am fine.”Taking the yield of the first aid kit, she walked away, probably back to the bathroom, where she kept itI sat in silence on the couch, waiting to see what happens next, Mel was acti
Mel POVRight as I was about to twist the doorknob, Lilith stopped me.“Mel! Wait!” I turned to look at her, she seemed afraid and terrified of something— or someone.“What is it, Lil? Are you okay,” I asked.“Yes, of course, I am— but don't you want to be a bit cautious, you said no one ever comes knocking, so who could be it be, I think you should just ignore them, they will go away,” she whispered, “What if it's someone who is going to hurt us?”I chuckled, “Lilith this isn't exactly a place a person can walk in and out of going unnoticed, the only way an unregistered person can get in, is being verified as a visitor by an occupant in the building, and bad guys don't come knocking Lil.”“But what if—” I wasn't going to wait around debating with Lilith if I should open the damn door or not, So before she could continue what she was about to say, I turned the doorknob and swung the door wide open.Looking back at me was a clean s
Lilith POVAfter having a long bath, I sat on my bed. Massaging pumps of Victoria's Secret body cream onto my skin. Slowly brushing my palm across my thighs in a circular motion. And there it was again, that feeling, that excitement, that internal fire burning beneath my flesh, trying to tear open an entrance to release itself. Ignoring whatever it is my body craved or whoever it called for.I got up from the bed, placing the lotion back into the drawer where I found it. I can't help it at times, my inner Nancy Drew, I noticed a small, golden, oval-shaped object neatly concealed under a pack of batteries. Attached to it was a long cord that had small, black push-button control at the end. I observed the two buttons on the remote that was attached to the object, and I wondered what was the purpose of this strange device.“Usually red means stop, and green means go,” I whispered to myself.I applied pressure on the green button and it bega
Mel POVHonk! Honk!I parked outside Lilith's school, waiting for her. Scanning through the flowing crowd of freshmen, searching for my best friend. Through the tinted windows, I saw a girl dressed in denim jeanspants and a yellow blouse began to approach the car,“Lil?” I asked myself.She swung open the car door, sliding across its leather interior.“Hey, I was about to catch a cab when I saw you, didn't know that you were going to pick me up,” she bubbly said.“Heyyyy, thought I told you last night, my bad, but someone is in a good mood,” I chuckled.“Today was...good, Well some parts of it,” I smiled and powered the car engine. The car ride was filled with laughter as we shared old memories from our hometown,“Hey Lil, did you ever go back to that tree?” I giggled.“The Birch tree? Hell no, I still stand my ground about that tree, it's evil, I hate it and it hates me” I burst into laughter, almost near to tear
Lilith POVBack at the apartment Mel and I watched movies, played board games, truth or dare, it was like experiencing my childhood all over again. Back home, people would stare at us, calling our friendship strange and abnormal, especially as we grew older. I neverunderstand what was so indifferent about it, so what if our ages vary, it's just a number, age doesn't define who we are and what lies in our hearts.“I am bored,” Mel sighed.“Same,”“How about some sausage macchessy,” Mel excitedly asked.I chucked, “Can you still make it?”“Sure can,” Mel quickly rose to her feet, heading towards the kitchen.Sausage macchessy is a snack Mel and I came up with as kids, With a combination of three different brands of cheese, four boxes of macaroni, two packs of sausage, and we would add milk sometimes.“Aren't you coming to help me or not?” Mel shouted.I got up from where I sat and went into the kitchen,
Mel POV“Ugh! I am never doing that again,” I dragged my self from the bed into the kitchen, I was wearing the same clothes from last night and I could feel the dryness on my face from sleeping with makeup on. A hangover was the karma from heavy drinking.I don't remember most of the last night, the last thing I remember was ordering a Moscato, and the rest is blank. I leaned against the wall waiting for the coffee maker to complete whatever the fuck it does. Ting! Finally, I poured myself a cup of coffee, sipping it slowly.“Aye, hangovers always makes me more appreciative of a hot, steaming coffee.”Knock! Knock!And who the fuck could that be so early in the morning. I went to see who it was and what they needed, probably another delivery guy having the wrong door number again. Opening the door, there was a towering man, his grey eyes pierced through my blue ones, his immature growing beard was neatly outlined and his cheekbones
Damon POV“Lilith?” I mumbled, “Hi, I've been worried sick about you, you ran out of the bathroom so fast the other night, and I didn't get a chance to give...”But Mel cut me off, “So this is Damon? The same you've been crus...”“Classmate! He is my classmate” Lilith yelled, not wanting Mel to continue what she was about to say.“Right, nice to meet you, Damon, Lilith speaks highly of you,” Mel extended her hand towards me.“No I don't, I hardly even know him,” Lilith grumbled.I shook Mel's hand, giving her a luminous smile, “Nice to meet you, Mel.”Fifteen minutes in, and the room was dead silent, this was supposed to be a Lunch where we all got to know more about each other but now, it is making us all uncomfortable, I told Stefan this was a bad idea and I was right.Mel sat across from Stefan and me, scrolling through her phone, While Lilith stood a couple of feet away from us, occasionally glancing at
Lilith POV“It's almost 7:00 pm, and we haven't seen or heard from them,” I mumbled peeking at the apartment door of the unusual brothers,“Hey,” Mel appeared next to me, rubbing my back, “You think we should check on them?”“No, I think they are ok, I just wish they would at least give us an update,” I said closing the door slowly.“I didn't know the eyes could cause such tremendous pain on anyone,” Mel muttered,“Neither did I, but hey did see Stefans' tat, it was the exact thing like Damons' ”“No I didn't, sorry Lil, and Maybe Damon has ocular herpes,” Mel uttered.“Mel!” I exclaimed.“What? I'm just saying, but you surely weren't kidding when you told me, he was hot,”“No I wasn't and you almost told him that I was crushing on him,”“Well, he is a cutie and but I still think he has ocular herpes,”“But still you were playing matchmaker?” Mel raised her hands in defeat,“I have no
