**Melanie's P.O.V.**
I pulled away from Cody and stared in his eyes, I could see the
sympathy. Cody wiped the tears from my eyes and gave me a smile. I
sighed and walked away. No disrespect to Cody but this wasn't the time
for happy faces. I raced back to the locker room and on my way there I
saw her. I saw Maryse standing about six feet away from me, speaking to
Alicia Fox. Just the look of her smirk and blonde fake extentions and
the sound of her laugh was enough to explode the rage in me.
I grabbed the nearest object I could find, a pipe, lying aside from the
walkway. I ran up to Maryse from behind and swung at her head and felt
the vibration from her skull meeting the steel. Alicia ran off probably
for help but nothing was going to separate me from this skank. I dropped
the pipe and watched as Maryse lied unconscious with blood spilling from
her head. As sick and twisted I knew it was I had the nerve to sprout a
smirk.
I felt a hand and turned to see Mickie trying to pull me away from
Maryse's body. I could see Mickie yelling at me but the only thing I
could hear was silence, it was like everything was moving too fast and I
was stuck in slow motion. I decided to let Mickie take me back to her
locker room.
"Melanie what the hell did you just do?" Mickie was now pacing back and
forth.
"Randy played me like a fucking game! He fucked that tramp!" I flipped
the couch over (me so strong! LOL). I was tackled to the ground by
Mickie.
"Calm down Mel!" Mickie yelled to me.
I struggled to get out of her grip. Mickie helped me and herself off the
floor. Mickie walked me to her car since the show was pretty much over.
She drove us to the beach.
I got out the car and ran toward the sand. I inhaled the ocean breeze
while I stood in front of the crashing waves. Being there gave me peace.
Mickie joined me.
"You look like you've cooled down tiger." We laughed.
"I did. Even though I'm done with Randy I just can't see how I let him
control me." I sighed.
"Sweetie it's not your fault. He doesn't know what he's lost but his
Donkey Kong self will soon find out." I laughed. Mickie took me to the
beach when things stressed me out or had rage of anger.
*~|Cody's P.O.V.|*~
I wiped Melanie's tears then gave her a smile and she walked off leaving
me puzzled. I later heard steel hit the floor and Alicia screaming for
help. I walked out of the corner to see Maryse knocked out, head gushing
of blood, and Melanie hovered Maryse's body. I was going to take Mel
back to our locker room but Mickie came to the rescue and took her
away.
I shook my head at the chaos I've caused for telling Randy's secret. I
walked to the Legacy locker room and saw Ted wrapping his wrists with
black tape and Randy lacing his boots. I took in a deep breath and
exhaled.
"I told her." I said.
"Told who, what?" Came Randy.
"Mel, I told Melanie about you and Maryse."
Ted stopped wrapping the tape and just stood there looking at Randy then
back to me. Randy's face turned red as he grew with anger.
"You motherfucker! I will have your head!" Randy charged at me. He
grabbed me by the neck choking me against the wall. Ted tried to pull
Randy off but failed. I kicked Randy in the family jewels. He fell to
the floor yelling in pain. I caught my breath and packed my bags and
took Mel's luggage with me. I heard Randy yelling "You'll regret this!"
as I walked out the locker room.
I drove to the hotel and got a separate room. I took a shower then
changed into a wife-beater and boxers. I texted Ted to tell him where I
was staying. Seconds after I lied in bed a knock came from the door. I
sat up from the bed and walked to the door thinking it was Ted, but the
visitor took me by surprise.
"Melanie?" I said confused.
"Hi stranger. Ted told me that you had my luggage." I looked back into
my room and spotted Mel's luggage.
"Oh yea, that's right. I'll go get it for you." I said. Mel caught me
before I turned to grab her luggage.
"Don't bother, I was wondering if I could stay here, with you. I was
sharing a room with Candice but she haves 'company' over. Mickie is
sharing with Gail. I tried getting a room but the hotel is booked. And I
don't think being in the same room as Randy is a good idea." Said
Melanie.
"Sure. You're welcomed to stay with me." I said standing aside to let
her in.
Melanie walked in. "Nice room you have here." She laughed. I chuckled.
She was being sarcastic. I couldn't remember the last time I heard her
laugh but it was good to hear. I had a nonchalant exterior but on the
inside I was nervous, excited, yet had butterflies.
Melanie looked through her luggage and pulled out ice blue booty shorts.
She stood back up.
"Cody do you have a shirt I could borrow?" Melanie said giving me a
smile.
"Sure." I returned the smile. I took a 'Legacy Born Better' t-shirt out
of my bag and gave it to Mel.
"Thanks Codes." She said happily.
"No problem." I replied. Melanie went into the bathroom to change.
I love you, I thought.
But I didn't say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my
face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one-that
she wouldn't say it back. She'll never love me. The faint smell of her
perfume was clear. I imagined holding her, of her wanting me too.
Melanie walked out of the bathroom. I couldn't stop looking. Her eyes,
which I'd previously thought were light brown but seemed the same color
as the black shirt. Her hair spilled down her shoulders like a
waterfall. I stared at her. "God! You're beautiful, Melanie." I
whispered. She blushed. "You're too kind Cody." When I realized she
heard what I said I blushed too. She giggled.
"Umm...I'll take the couch." I said while grabbing a pillow and blanket
out the linin closet.
"Codes there's no need for that because I will take the couch. I don't
want to put you out of your room." She said.
"You're not Mel. I insist you take the bed." I smiled.
"Awe, Cody you're such a gentleman." She said.
I made my bed on the couch and watched Melanie laying in the bed
listening to her iPod then drifted off to sleep. She looked adorable.
It made me restless knowing Mel was there, in the same room, asleep. I
could almost feel her body, slipping between cool white sheets. I felt
hot, I really couldn't tell if it was from me or the blanket. I ached
for her, lying on the couch with me, imagining her in the bed. I knew I
was falling for her fast but I can't let her know.
I listened to the lyrics from the song Boyz II Men - Pass You By playing
from Mel's iPod.
I repeated the words "Don't let real love pass you by." I went to sleep
thinking of her.
I hope this chapter kept you guys from chasing after me with pitchforks
and fire lol.
