The Wrong Melissa - Jackson and Melissa

I sat at my desk getting ready for my date with Jackson. I was so happy when I learned that he was given a new case worker because the other one had done a horrible job and was put in a new loving foster home a few houses away from me. My sister Marcella who is also my identical twin looked at a shirt and asked if I liked it. I nodded too lost in my daydreams to notice the tiny looking clothes she handed me.

"What the heck is the deal with this guy Mel? What does he even look like because you know since mom and dad are out on their own date tonight I get to approve of the catch you're bringing home this time." She laughed as my phone rang. I handed her a picture and pointed to a face on it.

"Oh Melissa he is -"

"Hey Jackson" I said into the phone as she gasped loudly and listened to the rest of the conversation.

"Do you mind Marcella?" I asked as Jackson laughed and asked what was happening

"my sister is being a jerk."

"sister?" Jackson said confused

"Yeah her name is Marcella and she wants to talk to you if you don't mind. Or else she'll be bugging me all night."

"okay for a sec I guess then you and I are going to go have fun.' I nodded and handed the phone to my sister.
"Jackson right?' she asked then seemed to put two and two together. Once she did she screamed.

"Holy shit you are so freaking hot no wonder Melissa can't stop talking about you.'

I blasted her and blushed bright pink

"Shut up and give me the phone!" she laughs at Jackson's pause and says" Here you are beautiful Melissa."

"Thanks nice to meet you." Jackson chokes out and I take the phone back and get the rest of our date plans in order.

Later, when Jackson shows up a little earlier than I expected and I still have to do my hair Marcella goes downstairs to stall and then I realize it's a very bad idea.

"He can just come upstairs and wait. Don't worry Mel honey I'll hide your sexy stuff."

"leave Jackson alone Marcella" I say but a little too late because she's already halfway down the stairs.

"Hey" Jackson stands up and walks over to Marcella.

"How are you sexy?"

He laughs and I am finally ready to go. At the top of the stairs though I see Jackson and my older sister kissing.

"Jackson?"

He looks up the realizes what he did and exactly who he has just made out with,

Marcella .not me.

"Melissa wait! "Marcella says "I am so sorry."

I run upstairs with the tears already pouring out of my eyes.

"I'll get her." Jackson says following me upstairs.

When we are finally alone I say "Jackson I tried to tell you that was Marcella."

"Melissa sweetheart it was an honest mistake. You both look so much alike that I didn't realize I was kissing her until after the fact. You can't be mad at me but you kind of do have a right to be mad at Marcella. She sounded so much like Taylor on the phone I almost got them confused too.

"okay Jackson I'm not mad at you anybody gets us confused. Its okay.' I smiled as he took me in his strong arms.

"Now let me make it up to you. Here." He kissed me rough and passionately on the lips and yes I felt extremely light headed after it happened.

"Mel are we friends again?'

"always Jackson" I said smiling up at him as we kissed again. "We will always be friends.

"Good now lets go have fun." He said. I flung my black hair back and we headed out the door.
