KISSING SCENES! SO DIFFICULT TO WRITE WRITE WITHOUT LOOKING AWAY! Not saying that I'm immature, I've read worse, but... yeah I have no excuse this time. Enjoy!
Melissa's POV
I sat behind the oven in the kitchen. Where are you Stephano?
I hear footsteps and I crouch into the corner. It's dusty; I've always hated dust. The lights turn off, it's pitch black. I stand up, and a bucket of water pours on my head. I hear Stephano call my name.
"Melissa!"
"Stephano!" I call back.
Something snags the shoulder of my shirt, and I can't get it free.
"Stephano! Stephano help!" I scream.
The water starts to burn my skin and I start crying. I hear footsteps again but I don't know whether I should be scared or not. Are they Stephano's, or someone else's? I see the tip of Stephano's sword peeking in at the doorway and I call his name.
"Stephano! In here."
He comes in and embraces me in a hug.
"I thought something horrible happened to you." I said.
"Alexander tried to get to you and beat you up but I took care of him."
That must've been the reason why he sent me here.
"Why are you wet?" he asks, and he pulls away from me.
"A bucket of acidic water spilled on my head," I try to say without screaming. "It really burns, can you take me to a doctor?"
"Sure, sure."
He's such a nice guy, and he's cute too. I wonder why he doesn't have a girlfriend?
Stephano's POV
I walk out with Melissa into the rain. She shivers and breathes heavily, shaking too.
"Are you okay?"
"Not really. I-I have ch-cheimaphobi-ia. A fear of the c-cold."
I hug her tightly as we try to get to my car. When we finally reach it, I quickly open the door and she literally jumps inside. Today was a bad day to wear a tank top. I quickly open my door and almost trip trying to get inside. I snatch my keys off my belt and jam them into the keyhole. I turn it once and it doesn't start. Why does this car have to be so old?! I try 6 more times and it doesn't start.
Melissa looks like she's about to pass out. I lean over and hug her tightly. Her fingernails dig into her skin, making the flesh appear a light red. I pry her fingernails out, and there are 5 red marks where they used to be.
"You're gonna be okay. It's okay." I reassure her.
Her icy blue eyes are now a dark gray color, showing her fear. Her head turns towards me, and I take this as my chance. I take her head in my hands and lean close to her.
"I'm not going to lose you." I whisper in her ear before slowly turning my head and pulling her into a passionate kiss.
Her lips are almost ice cold, and her hands are frozen solid. I pull away leaving her shivering like crazy. I almost forgot! There's a sweatshirt and a blanket in my trunk! I press the button on my keys to pop the trunk open and run out really quick. I grab them both and run back into the car. I throw Melissa the blanket and I jerk the sweatshirt over my head.
I jam the key back into the keyhole and turn it. The familiar sound of the engine started rumbling and I sighed with relief. Melissa puts her head back on the seat and closes her eyes.
"Thank you." She says under her breath.
I back out and drive out of the parking lot.
