Chapter 36: Worst Kept Secret
John sighs as he waits for Trish to come out. The door opens and out walks the last person he wanted to see right now. Melina sees him and gives him a dirty look.
John: Don't start.
Melina: Who's starting? I didn't say a word to you.
John: Yea, well you gave me a dirty look.
Melina: I gave you a dirty look? (Melina acts like she doesn't know what he's talking about.)
John: Yes, you gave me a dirty look.
Melina: Well at least I'm not eying you like a piece of meat like a certain someone has been doing all afternoon. (John rolls his eyes.)
John: Whatever.
Melina: What? Does the truth hurt?
John: You don't even make any sense.
Melina: No, I make perfect sense. You just don't like being wrong. (John throws his hands up in frustration.)
John: What the Hell are you talking about?
Melina: You, staring at me all afternoon. (John shrugs.)
John: OK, fine. You caught me. I may have looked once or twice. That doesn't mean anything.
Melina: No, it means a lot. (John sighs.)
Melina: Every time I looked at you, you were checking me out.
John: You were wearing a damn bikini! What do you expect? (Melina makes an offended look.)
Melina: I don't know who you think your yelling at papi. But don't yell at me just because you couldn't keep your eyes off me. (John takes a deep breathe.)
Melina: You act like you didn't see enough last night or something. (She crosses her arms. John shakes his head out of disbelief.)
John: You done now?
Melina: Done with what?
John: Done getting on my damn nerves? I'm trying to wait for Trish and your stressing me out.
Melina: Oh, you mean your girlfriend you cheated on right? (John looks at her with a mean expression.)
John: Would you stop that?
Melina: Why, whatever do you mean Johnathon? (Melina talks in a sweet innocent voice. This ticks John off more.)
John: Ok, one, my name isn't Johnathon. It's John. And two, shut up. This isn't easy as it is. Your making it worse.
Melina: And you think this is easy for me? (John looks at her.)
Melina: Well, it's not.
John: So stop bringing it up then. (Melina looks at John.)
Melina: You regret it don't you? (John looks at her.)
John: Yes, well no... I don't know. (Melina looks at him with attitude.)
John: I mean, I don't regret you, I regret cheating. (Melina and John lock eyes. For the first time since their mistake, they have an understanding.)
Melina: Then you shouldn't have done anything. (Or so John thought they had an understanding.)
What the fuck?
John: You were the one pushing it remember?
Melina: I didn't see you complaining when I was on my knees. (John gets a dead face and sighs. She's right once again.)
John: This is your fault! You came to my room, and seduced me! (He points at himself.)
Melina: So your not responsible for this at all then? I guess I had sex with myself. (John grunts out of frustration.)
John: Shut your mouth. Ok, fine. It's not all your fault. It's mine too. Now shut the hell up about it before someone hears us.
Melina: As if they didn't hear us last night. (Melina rolls her eyes.)
John: Do you want Trish finding out we had sex? (The door opens up and Torrie walks out but neither John or Melina notice her.)
Melina: No...
John: Then shut up. (Torrie looks at them.)
Torrie: You guys had sex? (John and Melina look up to see her.)
John: No.
Melina: Yes. (John and Melina glance at each other for a second.)
John: Yes.
Melina: No. (Torrie looks at them and crosses her arms. John sighs.)
John: Ok, yes. (Torrie smiles.)
Torrie: Oh, you guys had a three sum then. That's kinda hot. (John and Melina look at each other.)
John: ...Sure... (Torrie looks at them narrowed eyes.)
Torrie: You didn't have a three sum did you?
John: Not exactly. (Torrie looks shocked.)
Torrie: What did Trish say? (John and Melina just look around awkwardly.)
Torrie: She doesn't know does she? (Melina and John both shake their heads no. Torrie's eyes grow wide.)
Torrie: You cheated on her!
John/Melina: Shh. (John puts his hand over her mouth.)
Melina: Torrie, shut up. (John slowly takes his hand off her mouth.)
Melina: We don't want Trish to find out. So keep your mouth shut. (Torrie puts her hands up like she's not in this.)
Torrie: Uh-uh. You two wanna lie to her, go ahead. I'm not gonna lie to her. (Torrie turns to go back inside to tell Trish but Melina grabs her arm stopping her.)
Melina: Torrie, I swear if you open your mouth, I'm gonna kick your ass. (Torrie looks at her.)
Torrie: What the Hell Melina? You do know that lying is gonna make everything worse right?
Melina: It won't make anything worse because it never happened. Got it? (Torrie looks at Melina.)
Torrie: But...
John: Look Torrie, it was an accident. Things kinda got out of hand. And one thing kinda led to another.
Torrie: Trish has a right to know. I mean, your her best friend for God's sake Melina. How the Hell can you be this way?
Melina: I feel bad...
Torrie: So tell her!
John/Melina: No! (Torrie looks at them, almost angry like.)
John: I don't wanna hurt Trish. Do you know how hard it was to get her? (Torrie nods.)
Torrie: Yea, that's why I don't understand why you would sleep with Melina and cheat on Trish.
John: Shh. Stop saying that.
Torrie: But you did...
Melina: Torrie, look. Please, please, please, just keep your mouth shut.
Torrie: Why should I?
Melina: You like seeing her happy right?
Torrie: Of course.
Melina: Then keep your mouth shut. (Torrie thinks about it.)
Torrie: I swear, if Trish ends up finding out that I know and I didn't tell her, she's gonna...
Melina: Don't worry about it because there's only three people who know about this. You, me and John. So you keep your mouth shut, and we won't have anything to worry about. (Torrie sighs.)
Torrie: Fine. (Candice comes out of the room now.)
Candice: Hey guys. (They all jump.)
Candice: What's wrong with you three? You look like you've seen a ghost or something. (They all stay quiet and Candice looks at them suspiciously.)
Candice: Who's hiding something?
Torrie: John and Melina had sex.
John: So much for a kept secret...
Candice: They what!
Melina: Torrie!
Candice: You guys had sex? (John and Melina sigh.)
Candice: What are you gonna tell Trish?
Melina: Nothing.
Candice: Your not telling her? (They all remain quiet. Candice looks at them.)
Candice: Don't you want her knowing? (Melina and John shake their heads no. Candice sighs.)
Candice: It's probably the best thing. If she found out, she'd be devastated. (John and Melina are surprised Candice isn't giving them a hard time.)
Candice: Just so you know, I don't condone this. But I'm not gonna tell Trish because I like seeing her happy. (John and Melina nod. Torrie doesn't know what to do. They all point at each other.)
John/Melina/Candice/Torrie: Don't tell Mickie! (They all look around shocked that all four of them had the same thought at the same time. But it was true. If Mickie, knew she'd definitely go back and tell Trish. She was the most mature while the rest of them tended to be goofy.)
Candice: So who made the first move? (John and Melina both point at each other.)
John/Melina: Stop lying. (Melina gets a shocked expression and pinches his arm.)
John: Ow. (He pinches her back.)
Melina: What the Hell? (She slaps him on the arm.)
John: Come on... (He slaps her on the arm back.)
Melina: Stop! (She slaps him back, then he slaps her back.)
John: You stop. (They start slapping each other like elementary students. Candice and Torrie just watch this almost amused by it. The door opens and Trish comes out. They all immediately stand at attention with smiles and wave. Trish eyes them wearily.)
Trish: … Hi... (She waves back to them weirded out. John looks at them.)
John: Well, were gonna go now. Bye. (He puts his arm around Trish's shoulders and starts walking. He glances back at them and makes a "zip it" motion across his lips.)
