Room With Me
"Was that really necessary?"
"Yes."
"Jared, you just kicked Jamie out of our room! I just get back, and you're already pushing me away from him!" Melanie ranted, flailing her arms around in the air. "Besides, who is he going to room with now?"
"Ian's, for the meantime." Jared replied, taking her hands in his in an attempt to calm her down. "When everything gets settled, after Wanda wakes, I'm sure that she and Ian will help him find a comfortable place to stay."
"But with who? He's not used to spending big amounts of time with anyone but you and me! Well, and Wanda, but-"
Jared cut her off. "Mel, I think you know that it would be awkward for him to stay with Wanda and Ian. After all, that would be like reopening the scar that I just managed to close by kicking him out."
"What do you mean? Jared, I don't understand. I just came back and you're already trying to separate me from my brother! I know I sound like a broken record but this just isn't fair! Think about it! Where will he go? What will he do? Who will he st-"
The impact of his lips crashing down on hers was sure to bruise them both. Jared started moving his lips against hers, coaxing her to follow his lead. He removed his hands from hers, running one up her spine while the other found the curve of her hip. Reveling in this long awaited reunion, Melanie wove her arms are his neck; her fingers playing with the curls just at the nape. Just as she opened her mouth for more, Jared pulled back and pulled his version of a grin.
Melanie whimpered at the loss of his lips on hers and tried to reclaim them, but Jared dodged her.
"Now do you see why we can't have Jamie stay with us, or with Wanda and Ian?" He teased, flicking his tongue out to playfully lick her cheek.
She chuckled and nodded silently.
Pulling her tightly to his chest, Jared moved his lips against her ear. "Room with me?" He whispered.
Taking advantage of where his head rested, Melanie nibbled on his earlobe before replying "Always."
