Chapter 14

Around 6:30 the next morning, Louise got up for work and she went into the living room to find Peter and Meloney still asleep on the couch. she sighed at them and nudged Peter, and he woke up with a groan.

"Oh, Morning, Lou," he said sleepily. He stretched and Meloney stirred at the movement, "C'mon, Mel, wake up." he poked her shoulder as Louise exited the room and entered the kitchen. She looked around for something to eat and didn't find much. She ate a piece of toast and went to grab her coat to leave. She saw Meloney and Peter dozing back off on the couch and walked out the door. She walked to her work and tried to keep her spirits up as she went. She hadn't woken up in a good mood and she didn't see her mood brightening any through out the day.

When she walked into the clothing shop she was greeted by her work mate, and went straight to work putting new merchandise on the shelves and things, but she wasn't happy about it. By lunch, she was about ready to go home, and as she took her break, Meloney and Peter walked in looking like their happy selves.

"Hi," Meloney said to the man behind the counter, "Can I speak to the manager here?"

The guy nodded and went back to find the lady they'de met on their first day. When she came out, she recognized Meloney and gave her a sad look, "I'm sorry young lady, but the position you and Louise applied for is taken."

Meloney groaned and nodded, and said thank you before starting to walk out. Louise caught up with them and grinned, "Hi, guys!" she said feeling her mood brightening slightly.

"Hey, Lou." Meloney said smiling back and giving her friend a quick hug, "How you doin?"

"Oh, I'm alright I suppose," Louise said waving to Peter, "You out looking for jobs?"

Peter nodded, "Yeah, and I wanted to look for someplace to play at."

Louise nodded and bid them goodbye as they walked out the door hand in hand. She felt slightly jealous of Meloney having a boyfriend. She wanted a boyfriend, but the only guy she seemed to h ave interest in didn't like having a girl too long.

"oh well," she sighed to herself as she started back with her job of putting things away.

"Lou didn't look too happy when we saw her," Peter recalled walking toward a picnic table at one of the restaurants in the strip mall.

"I know, I wonder what's wrong with her?" Meloney said sitting across from him as a waiter came up. They ordered their food and Meloney thought about how sad Davy seemed to be before she and Peter left, "Maybe it has something to do with Davy."

"Yeah, maybe, they both seemed down." Peter said with a sigh as they ate their lunch, "But, on a happier note, I got us a gig, and you got yourself an interview."

Meloney giggled and nodded in excitement. She was thinking about a plan of getting Davy and Louise together the rest of the meal and Peter seemed to be thinking about the same thing. When they were through with eating, Peter paid and they went on to look for a job for Meloney.

Davy was moping about on the couch back at the pad and Mike and Micky were trying everything to get him out of the pad for something to do.

"Guys, I don't wanna go anywhere!" Davy protested after being forced to get dressed, "I wanna stay here and...and..." Davy didn't really wanna do anything.

"And mope because Louise won't talk to you anymore?" Mike asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"She does so talk to me!" Davy protested, "She just won't go out with me and she won't let me get close to her."

"What?!" Micky said dramatically, "The Davy Jones can't get a girl to go out with him!?"

"Oh shut up, Mick," Davy said plopping back down onto the couch.

"Well, I don't care what she will and won't let you do, You aren't moping around anymore." Mike said pulling Davy up off the couch again.

Davy hated that Mike pulled him up so easily and tried to sit back down. Mike held onto his arm and pulled him to the front door. Micky opened it to find Louise trying to get in and Davy was just about to be thrown out of his own house as she stepped in a cocked an eyebrow at them.

"Davy's Moping and he won't do anything but sit on the couch like a pathetic little kid." Mike explained quickly and letting go of Davy's arm. He awkwardly looked around and walked away slowly, like he'd been caught with his and in the cookie jar. Louise restrained her giggles and looked at Davy and Micky who were bickering back and forth quietly so Louise couldn't here.

"C'mon Davy just try and get to know her before you go off and turn on the charm!" Micky said glancing at Louise as she plopped down on the couch much like Davy had.

"No, Mick, she doesn't like me, Ok?" Davy said frustrated, "I've tried, but I can't see to do it!"

"Davy, I know you expect every girl to fall head over heals for you, but could you at least try doing in like every other guy in the world and Talk to her before you ask her out!?" Micky was practically begging Davy to talk to Louise. Davy sighed and walked away from Micky and sat down on the couch next to Louise.

Meloney was skipping down the street happily and tugging Peter along. She finally got herself a job at the music store in the strip mall, and she was really happy about it. Peter was having trouble keeping up with her and he tugged her hand back to try and slow her down.

"Mel, you really have to cool it," he struggled, "I can't keep up with you!"

"Sorry, Pete," she apologized to him as she slowed down, "I'm just really happy!" she said before kissing his cheek with a grin.

A grin spread across him own face and he kissed her cheek back, "I know you are, but You could slow down just a tiny bit."

Meloney giggled and nodded, she started to tell Peter about what she thought the should do about Davy and Louise. Peter said he didn't think they should do anything, but Meloney said she thought they should and she told him about her secret plan...
