The Untouchables
Harry fell asleep in a matter of minutes. Knowing his angel was in the other room soothed his soul. He wishes he were there with her. He wanted to hold her and embrace her without a struggle. He knows that the next day he'd lose Melfina. It really hurt him.
"As long as she's happy. That's all that matters to me." Harry muttered. In reality it did matter to him. He didn't want HIS angel with that bastard Gene Starwind. He'd just abuse her and get drunk. He's always playing around with his toys.
"A disgrace of an outlaw" Harry said while suppressing his anger. He starred at his bedroom door. He imagines him with Melfina, expressing his love with her and marrying her. He closes his eyes and has an anime grin stretched on his face.
Melfina got adjusted to Harry's bed. It was cool and comfortable. She couldn't help but think about Gene. On the other hand Harry was fresh in her mind. They both had great qualities, but also major weaknesses. Like Gene was recklessness, and a hunger for liquor and sex. Harry, on the other hand was different yet similar. Harry had a horrible temper and she knew that she was Harry's weakness. Gene knew this too. It surprised her that he hasn't used this against Harry.
She killed the idea. She undressed and crawled in bed. She couldn't get used to all this. A thought of Gene and Harry duking it to the death over her was absurd. Melfina also knew Harry wouldn't stand a chance and she would see him lying once again in a pool of his own blood. And once again she couldn't do anything to stop it. Something told her inside that Harry has changed.
Jim came home with a few computer parts for his broken laptop. He looked around and saw a whole lot of empty beer kegs, porno magazines, dishes, food particles, and to his disgust, a huge roach scurried into a crack in the wall. It was as big as a penny.
"GENE!!!!" Jim yelled at the top of his lungs. He looked all around until he saw Gene asleep in his bed. He was drooling all over his pillow. No doubt he was dreaming about naked women.
"GENE GET YOUR ASS UP!!!" Jim roared.
Gene got up wide-eyed. He was exhausted. The last thing he wanted to hear was Jim screaming at him.
"What's wrong little buddy?" Gene asked sleepily.
"What's wrong is this place is a mess. The living room is a wreck!" Jim said in a pissed off mood.
"I'll pick it up later. I feel like I've been ran over." Gene said yawning.
"Uh oh!" Gene thought. "I gave myself away. Jim will know I'd been drinking. Oh I'll never hear the end of it."
"Gene Starwind! I know you went out drinking. Clyde already told me so. I don't know what the hell your thinking. Do you know how rare a job comes up? Do you? HUH?" Jim said while getting in Gene's face.
"Aw leave me alone! I'm a grown ass man. Let me live my own life. Your only 12! I should be bossing you around. But I'm too tired so you got lucky. So just go and play with your toys and let old Gene get some sleep." Gene said while tossing the other way.
Jim was severely pissed off then. "Play with my toys! I'll have you know I work with computers. And it seems like someone should tell you what to do. Spoiled bastard!"
Gene paid no mind. That didn't surprise Jim. It was hard to live most of the time with a drunken ruffian such as Gene. He takes no mind to hear what Jim has to say whereas try to think of a plan instead of going head first into a situation. To this day it makes Jim wonder why he even tries to lead Gene in the right direction.
The next morning came quickly. The sun shinned into Melfina's eyes. She rolled over wanting to go back to sleep. Unfortunately she couldn't go. She forced herself out of bed, and slipped on some clothes. She slowly opened the door. Harry was still asleep. She didn't want to wake him so she went back to his room. She knew if she went back into that bed she'd go right back to sleep. But she chooses not to. She decides to surprise Harry by cooking him breakfast. It was the least she could do after he let her spin the night.
She sneaked her way into the kitchen, and over towards the pots and pans. She went to the refrigerator and took out eggs, cheese, sausage, bacon, some jams, and jellies. From the cabinet she got out some bread. It didn't take her long to make breakfast. She also put on some coffee.
The aroma came smack into Harry's face. He opened his eyes and looked around. There, he saw Melfina cooking.
"My angel is cooking for.me?!" Harry said. Rather shocked. She was once scarred of him and now she's making him food. "Could I really have a chance to win her heart?" Harry said while looking at her.
Melfina looked behind her and smiled.
"Good morning Harry. I've made you some breakfast." Melfina said pleasantly.
"Thank you Melfina." Harry said blushing.
He got off the couch and calmly walked into the kitchen.
"Do you need help?" Harry said concerned.
"No I'm fine." Melfina said sweetly.
She gave him a plate of; bacon, sausage and biscuits with cheese, an omelet, toast with jelly, and a cup of coffee.
"Wow! Did you really make all this for me?" Harry said shocked.
"Well I wanted to say thanks for your kindness. It's very rare that someone would do anything to please me." Melfina said with a smile.
"It's only a taste of how I can really be to you if you came with me." Harry said looking deeply into her brown eyes.
"I thank you for the offer Harry, but I can't just leave. Please understand." Melfina said in a pleasant tone.
"At least your not afraid of me anymore. When you were I thought I couldn't live anymore." Harry said looking down.
"Those times are over. You've changed. I can feel it. Just continue who you are now." Melfina said with reassurance.
"Your right Melfina. Those times are over. I'm just sorry that I did all that to you." Harry said sympathetic.
"That's the past now. Don't dwell on it." Melfina said while patting his shoulders.
Harry smiled up at her. He looked at his plate and began eating. The food was wonderful and especially good since Melfina made it.
She took a seat across from him and watched him.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Harry said.
"No I made this for you." Melfina said.
Harry was speechless. His angel made food for HIM and only HIM. He truly thought this was defiantly an act of love. He had to ask her a special question.
"Melfina what are your feelings about me?" Harry said trying to get it out.
"Well I think that you're struggling to be a great man. You have some very unique qualities, your one of a kind, and I'd know you would do anything for me. You truly are a great man." Melfina said with a smile.
Harry wanted to cry. All those nice things that were just said were of his beloved goddess Melfina.
"Do you love me Melfina?" Harry asked looking up.
"Only as a friend. I don't love Gene either. I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship yet. I just want some friends." Melfina said. "Are you angry?"
"No Melfina. Not at you. I'm at least happy that you like me as a friend. I'm grateful that your right here with me and even made me food." Harry said in a thank-you tone. "It just pains me that you'll be leaving."
Melfina felt guilty. She in a way wanted him and Gene to be there. She liked them both.
"Hey why don't you move in with us?" Melfina said.
"I doubt it. Your friends hate me. You're the only one who likes me." Harry said looking down.
"But every can change. You know what you did was wrong. This time I want you to come with me. We can look out for you since Ron is dead." Melfina said. "If they won't except you then I'll stay with you."
Harry eyes were brightened. She would do all that for him. It was truly a wondrous moment.
"Why would you do that?" Harry said confused.
I want to. You would've done anything for me, and this is the least I could do. And I've always avoided you, which really makes me feel guilty. I'm so sorry.
Harry grabs her hand, and looks into her brown eyes.
"Please don't feel guilty Melfina. Just you being here is good enough for me." Harry said in a comfortable voice.
Melfina nodded. All she wanted was some reassurance. Question was how was she going to tell Gene that she wanted Harry to move in with them?
