"Tell me." His voice was soft and persuasive, soothing and compelling.
"No." Even to me my voice sounded strangled and indecisive.
"Why?" His voice was harsh now, but it was brimming with true curiosity.
"Well Melanie?"
"Mmm?" Pulled out of my reverie by the somewhat impatient question I struggled to remember what that compelling voice had asked me.
"Why won't you tell me?" Was there a reason not to tell? Maybe, if I told him… maybe… maybe I would get my chance at happiness. NO! I would not be what they made me to be I would not give that bitch the satisfaction, she would not get her validation.
"Why would you want to know? If it turns out that I have a crush on you," said with derision and a very un-lady like snort, "then all that comes of it is avoidance and awkwardness. If it turns out that I was simply drunk and horny than there is no need to even keep with this conversation."
"Why would you think that?"
"It is well know that you are both very happy with the relationship that you have. There is no reason to think that I could come between that."
"Except for the fact that we both know that you don't deserve the reputation that you have, we both know that you hate Jennifer for what she did to you and that Jordan did everything to make sure that you were cast as the instigator. That way he seemed simply as the one who could not resist temptation." That smooth, compelling quality was back. Persuading me to sith.
This was actually quite funny, I was actually laughing at him. "It seems as if you have a quality for encouraging vendettas. Not quite the pro-life façade that you present to the world is it?"
"You find this funny?" Ut-oh, that harshness was back, almost as if he had to physically contain his anger.
"Absolutely, golden boy has a dark side." Sexy was what I thought to my self.
"You realize that you still haven't answered my question."
"Of course wasn't that the reason for this little roundabout?"
"No."
"Well then, sorry I couldn't have been of more help." And I hung up the phone.

To the one person who reviewed-maybe even the one person who read it- I put this in, I was going to make it longer so it didn't seem quite so filler like, but I didn't. I figured I should try to add more as it comes so that I don't lose you to the black hole that is the fan fiction site.
