Bad boy by Cascada. Melissa bumps into Nick at a bar and sends an SOS to Callen. Callen and her end up having a cover kiss to get him off her back. Tie into So cold and Love you out loud (next chapter!). Rated M. Melissa's point of view.

'Hey.' A voice behind me greets. I don't register who it is until I turn. This is my local so I figure it's someone I know probably Cole the barman.
'Hi.' I turn around to greet the man behind the voice and my breath catches when I face Nick. He's smiling and straight away I want to wipe it off his face. Why is he bothering me again?! Why can't he leave me alone? Of all the bars he could go to he chose this one… My local. My usual.
'Want a refill?' Nick points at my glass, leaning against the bar.
'No thank you.' I answer turning on the barstool, slipping my left hand in my pocket, the pocket with my mobile in.
'Offer's there.'
'Why don't you sling your hook and leave me be?' I point towards the door with my right hand.
'Now don't be like that…' Nick moans and I ease my phone out of my pocket carefully and slowly.
'I mean it Nick.' I snap, losing patience.
'No you don't. We both know you still have feelings for me.'
'Don't tell me what I mean Nick.' His ego has inflated since we were going out. He's really trying my patience and I'm really struggling to resist the urge to punch him. He's such a sleezeball! What did I ever see in him? I get my messages up and put in Callen's name and 'SOS. Murder in mind.' as the message and quickly send it. I'm so glad I learned to text without looking. I just hope Callen gets here soon or the morgue will have one extra on the body count in the morning. Nick is still talking and smirking. I pretend to listen all the while biding my time until Callen rescues me from him. Usually I don't use the term rescue when it comes to Callen, he's simply the backup.
Remember the feelings, remember the day
My stone heart was breaking
My love ran away
This moment I knew I would be someone else
My love turned around and I fell
Be my bad boy, be my man
Be my week-end lover
But don't be my friend
You can be my bad boy
But understand
That I don't need you in my life again
Won't you be my bad boy, be my man
Be my week-end lover
But don't be my friend
You can be my bad boy
But understand
That I don't need you again
No I don't need you again
You once made this promise
To stay by my side
But after some time you just pushed me aside
You never thought that a girl could be strong
Now I'll show you how to go on
I check my phone sneakily a few minutes in and find a text from Eric. I open it aware that G has probably asked Eric for my location. 'Callen on his way.'
'Great! Thanks x' I type back discreetly careful that Nick doesn't notice and slip my phone back in my pocket and taking a sip of my nearly empty drink.
'You sure you don't want a refill?'
'No she doesn't.' I turn when I hear G's voice and breathe a sigh of relief. Nick also turns and is visibly surprised to see Callen stood behind us. Thank god!
'Oh hi Callen.' Nick answers awkwardly.
'You bothering her?' G asks or rather states. I try not to seem awkward as he puts his arm around my waist. What is he up to?
'No. Just making conversation.'
'He bugging you baby?' Callen moves in closer and Nick stands up a little straighter. Callen just called me baby, what is he playing at? I try to read the look in his eye. Nick looks gobsmacked. That took the smirk off his face…
'Not so much now you are here… Where've you been I waited for you?' I pout for effect and Callen pulls me to stand up forcefully, I fall towards him and I place my hand on his chest to stop myself falling into him. He pretends to be unaware of Nick's presence still. Nick looks over the bar.
'Traffic baby I'm sorry. You know I'd much rather have been here sooner than with Sam complaining about the traffic.' Callen's hand snakes down my back as he speaks. I take a step back trying not to shiver.
'Really?' I pretend to not believe him and he responds by pulling me closer. I try to pull away only to be pinned between the stool and Callen.
'Really.' Callen answers and his right hand pulls my face towards his. Now I'm seriously wondering what the hell G is playing at! Within seconds his lips are on mine and I'm trying to push G away in surprise. His grip is firm though and I'm left with two choices, fight my way out or embrace this plan of G's. There's people around! What is his plan? Why is he kissing me? He is still kissing me and I shut my eyes letting my hand snake to the back of his neck in attempt to make the kiss look real. Is this what I'm meant to do if someone kisses me, it's new to me. I've only ever kissed Nick. I hate this! He's my partner I've got to work with him… G tilts his head to his right his lips exploring mine and I feel him try to pull me even closer and my hand moves back to his shoulder catching the collar of his shirt, cool and soft. His hand is still holding my head and he finally pulls away, catching his breath which feels warm on my cheek.
Be my bad boy, be my man
Be my week-end lover
But don't be my friend
You can be my bad boy
But understand
That I don't need you in my life again
Won't you be my bad boy, be my man
Be my week-end lover
But don't be my friend
You can be my bad boy
But understand
That I don't need you again
No I don't need you again
My hand immediately moves to my cheek as G pulls away watching me with curiosity in his eyes.
'Shall we get out of here?' He grabs my hand and leads me out of the bar without waiting for an answer.
