Chapter Eight
Reid leaned over the table. "Corner pocket." He paused for a second, before sliding the ball home.
Melissa nodded her head in approval, while Tyler commented. "Sweet shot." He grinned, slapping their hands together before taking the cue stick from Reid.
While Tyler bent over the table, taking his shot. Reid slung an arm around Melissa's shoulder, giving her a grin.
Reid turned his head to the right, looking at something, but since Reid's head was in the way Melissa couldn't see what he was looking at.
"Well, well, well ..." Reid said, pumping his fists with someone.
Melissa leaned forward, noticing that Pogue was the mysterious stranger; she smiled and tried her hardest to go forward to Pouge, to greet him. But Reid was making it difficult with his arm around her shoulder, not letting go. But after a swift elbow in the stomach he let go.
"How long you guys been here?" Pogue asked, watching and waiting for Melissa to pounce on him. She grinned at him, almost reading his thoughts.
Going for the easy option Pogue raised his arms, closed his eyes, and waited for the impact.
Melissa jumped into Pogue's open arms. Trying to be as gentle as possible, unlike many other times, where she had just leapt into his arms, roughly. Resulting in them either sprawled on the floor or, falling over and getting injured.
Melissa squealed when she felt Pogue squeeze her little body. Kissing him briefly on the cheek, he let her down. And her feet return to the ground.
Reid tried to sling his arm back around her, but she dodged it. So instead he slung it around Pogue's shoulders.
"A bit." Reid replied.
Melissa turned to Tyler, about to stand next to him when he grabbed her and pulled her into his chest, kissing her head softly before resting his chin on her head
"Just been playing Aaron and Bordy, and- Would you look at that?" Reid said. Melissa glanced over to where Reid was looking. Nicky's waitress was bending over the counter, wearing a skirt.
Melissa rolled her eyes, watching Reid slam some money down.
"Blue, cotton." Melissa bit her lip, slightly shaking her head. Tyler let go of her to also place money on the table.
"Pink, lace." Tyler stated. He looked up at Melissa and winked. Melissa's eyes widened for a fraction of a second. He had guessed her underwear.
Pogue was next. "Boys, that girl hasn't worn panties since she was 12." He said. He had glanced up at Melissa for a second and she had nodded, confirming what he said.
The guys grinned at him. Hoping that was the outcome.
Reid leaned over the table some more. His eyes danced with flames. And at that second, the waitress's skirt went up, revealing nothing.
Melissa grinned. Reid looked completely demolished. He hated losing. Tyler just shrugged.
Pogue winked at Melissa, who giggled, and headed over to Nicky, obviously to order something. Reid rolled his eyes, muttering under his breath.
Sending Reid a cheeky grin, Melissa put her attention back on the game. They continued to play for awhile. It was Tyler's turn, but Reid stopped him.
"Hey, let's see Melissa's moves. Let her play." Reid suggested, nudging Tyler.
Tyler bit his lip, nodding. Melissa started jumping up and down, grinning.
"Whoop, whoop! Reid, no cheating and try your hardest not to cry when I totally smoosh your but!" Melissa said.
Reid opened his mouth to say something, but paused. He frowned, a confused look came over his features. Tyler looked identical to him. He was confused as well.
"Smoosh?" They asked at the same time.
Melissa gave an innocent look. "I made it up." She made her lips tremble, making herself look to adorable. She would give this look to Caleb all the time, just to get her own way.
Tyler and Reid looked at each other.
"Smoosh it is!" They stated, grinning at her. She smiled sweetly back.
She walked over to Tyler. Standing right in front of him, only inches away She took a swift step forward, making him gasp quietly. Brushing up against him, she smiled coyly. She bit her lip, adding to the effect. She leaned her face close to his, almost brushing lips. And slowly crawled her hand up his chest, making her way to his arm. Where she promptly took the cue stick and walked away to the pool table.
Tyler's mouth was open, astounded. Reid almost matched his expression; he had the same look as he did earlier. He looked eager to watch them.
"You guys wanna play pool or what?" Melissa questioned, raising an eyebrow.
The boys nodded and got out of their dazes.
Melissa pursed her lips, nodding. Letting out a little 'Hmm'.
"We aint got all day." Reid stated, smirking.
Rolling her eyes, Melissa leaned over the table. Within a second, she snapped herself up.
Melissa looked down and realized she wasn't wearing the best thing to lean across a table in. She had, after hours of thinking and debating, decided on a pleated tartan mini skirt with a black wife beater. She had also added in her fingerless gloves, just to add to the effect. The guys understood immediately when she looked down.
They smirked.
Not caring that she would probably have to flash the whole bar, just to take a shot.
Reid raised his eyebrows, giving a 'get on with it then' look.
"Well? You're usually never embarrassed." Reid said, giving her a look. "But then again, I guess you didn't have Tyler as your boyfriend." He continued. Glancing at Tyler, who was still smirking and also gave her a 'get on with it' look.
Melissa put on a determined face.
She took a deep breath. Biting her lip, she leaned all the way over the table, her mini skirt sliding up her thigh. She bit her lip harder and drew her arm back. She took a shot. Watching as she sank two balls. After giving the boys a good enough show, she slid back off the table. Wiping her skirt a bit, glancing slyly up at the boys. She smirked at the reactions.
They were biting their lips, lust in their eyes.
Slowly turning his head, Reid looked at Tyler.
"Dude, I am so jealous." Reid said, looking back at Melissa and trailing his eyes over her body. He closed his eyes and groaned, slamming his head against the table.
Melissa gave a giggle and walked back up to Tyler. Who hadn't moved or said anything. And simply handed him the cue stick.
"What, no show?" He breathed. Melissa noticed his voice had dropped low, more to a husky note. She decided to play for a bit.
Tyler noticed the change and smirked, letting his hands rest on her hips. She trailed her hands up his chest. She looked up, locking eyes with him. Her hands making their way around his neck, his hands, meanwhile were sliding under her top, stroking the skin of her stomach. Tyler slowly bent his head down to hers. Melissa also slowly lent up, about to brush lips with Tyler.
"What do we have here?" Aaron Abbott. Tyler sighed, leaning back and stepping away from Melissa, who also sighed.
"Go away, Abbott." Melissa told him, rolling her eyes and trying not to punch him for ruining the moment.
"What you gonna do Danvers?" Aaron taunted, he grinned a perverted grin as he trailed his eyes over Melissa's body. She made a disgusted noise. Tyler stood closer to her and snarled a threat.
Reid, who had been sitting peacefully until Aaron came, intervened. "What do you want?"
"A rematch." Bordy told him, giving him a smug grin.
Reid just raised his eyebrows, smirking. "Well, be prepared to lose then."
Aaron and Bordy snorted. And Melissa's lip curled up in disgust.
"Oh yeah, real attractive." She whispered under her breath.
"Rack 'em up." Aaron said to Bordy. Tyler and Reid grinned each other. Saying stuff like, "More money for us." And "It's almost sad that it's so easy to take there money."
They started playing, Reid was using like usual. But not that much, especially since whenever he would, Melissa would either punch or kick him. Sending him into a frenzy of curses.
So far, Reid and Tyler were winning. Reid was busy trying to make a shot.
Melissa stared at them, before walking in the direction of Nicky. Tyler stopped her, asking where she was going. She gave him a look.
"To get a drink?" She replied, lightly questioning. Tyler nodded, giving her a kiss on the cheek before walking up to Nicky.
Turning around, he walked backwards. "I'll get you your drink." He told her, giving her a wink before turning to Nicky.
"But you don't know what I want." She whispered to herself. Frowning she turned back to the game. Now it was Aaron and Bordy to take a shot.
Melissa's face lit up as she heard the song "I love rock and roll" come on. She started swaying her hips to the beat. Winking at Reid, who was watching appreciatively.
Tyler came back over, carrying Melissa's favourite. Sprite. She grinned at him as he handed it to her.
"Thank you." She kissed his cheek and went back to the song, taking a sip of her drink.
I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
Tyler was leaning against the pool table. Watching Melissa as she danced. Aaron and Bordy were also watching. Reid on the other hand was getting ready to place a bet.
I knew he must 'a been about seventeen
Melissa hadn't realized that a bet had been made, while she was dancing. Reid had to make a combo shot. If she had noticed, then she would have stopped him from using.
The beat was going strong
Melissa continued to dance, singing the words out loud. Reid glanced at her, picking up the money, then grabbing her by the hand and pulling her to his side. Tyler raised a brow, questioning.
"Gentlemen, it was a pleasure" Reid said, before taking the money he had and placing it down Melissa's shirt and into her bra. She stood, shocked. She knew somewhere, that Reid was just trying to get Aaron jealous. It was a well known fact that he actually fancied her, but tried to cover it up by teasing and calling her names, pretending to hate her.
Tyler on the other hand, eyebrow still raised, turned even more questionably and almost looked angry. But after a look from Reid, he understood. Reid loved pissing Aaron off, and tried to do it whenever he could, no matter the circumstances.
Playin' my favorite song
Reid blew a kiss at Aaron, who looked incredibly annoyed and angry.
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me singin'
Melissa in the mean time slapped Reid ass and gave him a look. He in turn raised a brow. She looked simply down to her top and back up, meeting his smirking face.
I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me
"Sorry, baby girl. I just wanted to make Aaron jealous." Reid said. Melissa rolled her eyes, but smiled when he kissed her cheek. She walked over to Tyler, wrapping her arms around his waist and laid her head on his shoulder.
He smiled so I got up an' asked for his name
Reid got back to the game. And noticed the annoyed look Aaron had, then the unconvincing look Bordy had.
"What?" Reid shouted.
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same
It all happened quickly. One minute Aaron was looking pissed as ever. The next he was beside Reid and shoving him.
Melissa had let go of Tyler a while ago, she was leaning against a post, just about in the middle of the two boys.
Said can I take you home
where we can be alone
Reid pushed Aaron back. "Blow me!"
Melissa sighed, knowing there was going to be a fight. She suddenly smirked, thinking to herself of how she would get to punch someone.
"Let's take it outside. Come on" Aaron suggested, more like stated.
An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me
Aaron glanced at Melissa for a quick second before shoving into Reid, taking him outside, with Tyler following.
Melissa grinned and skipped happily outside.
