Again, hello ladies and gents (or people's if you prefer, lol.) :) Thank you soo much for the reviews, ect. Expect more downtime, school, ect. It's getting harder to update these things, lol. But this is a fanfic I am determined to finish. Here's Chapter 5 of Misunderstood!

Chapter 5

Who, what, when, where...why? That's all that kept going through Melina's mind as she felt the ground under her feet rock and vibrate because of the now rocky surface that Beth's husband, Joey, was driving over.

"Hey Joey, you mind slowing it down a bit? I had a big breakfast and I'm trying NOT to blow chunks all over your leather seats." Melina said rolling her eyes and laying her head on her arm that was resting some-what comfortably on the top of the seat behind her.

"Sorry, but Kevin told me to make it quick, he's not gonna be at the studio long ya know." Joey said kind of agitated at Melina's attitude.

"Okay," Melina said sighing a bit. "But what kind of studio are we supposed to be going to anyways? Movie? Television..."

"Music."

"Music?" Melina asked with a questioning look at Beth who was sitting shot gun next to her husband.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, he makes music in his free time. He's an aspiring rapper I think." Beth said with a slight chuckle in her voice.

"Oh, beautiful." Melina said sarcastically, regretting the fact that she'd even gone through with this date. Not to mention the fact that she wasn't ready yet.

Beth looked back a bit and saw her friend looking annoyed out the window, almost ready to fall asleep. "Mel, come on. Now don't be rude to this guy, at least act a little bit excited." she said pointing at the cheesy smile she was making.

Melina couldn't hold in the laughter and just nodded her head not agreeing to anything, she knew that she couldn't. She had a strong feeling in her gut that this guy was going to be a complete and udder loser. And no matter how hard she tried, she just could not get the imagine of John out of her mind. She knew that breaking up was definently the right thing to do, but the way it all happened, the fact that HE'D dumped her, was agitating her, adding on to the anger that definently didn't need to grow anymore than where it was at already. This time, Melina didn't even have her trusty iPod with her to at least try and keep her mind off of things (which she left at home), so she pretty much was stuck in a loop, thinking of John's face, body (specifically the abs), even those sort of goofy looking sunglasses that he liked to wear to the ring when they were MNM which made her laugh whenever they were backstage together. She could feel the tears just trying to escape her eyes, but didn't want to seem like a mental case or piss off Beth's husband even more than she was already sure that she had.

Melina, yet again, was so lost in thought that she didn't even realize that the car had stopped in front of a run down, old, light brown building. The kind that the aspiring music artists that never get anywhere use, she knew that this wasn't going to be good. Without a word, she stepped out of the car and followed Beth and Joey desperatly wanting to say "forget this" and go back to the hotel. But since she didn't want to go back on her word to Beth, she just sucked it up and followed Joey into the open door and instantly rubbed her nose when the mix of cigarette smoke and hot wings entered her nose like a tornado. Now, she was regretting going through with this even more after the sight of the fat guy with the grease stains on his tank top and sweet and sour sauce near his lip entered her mind, but again, she stuck through it. She entered the studio, and shockingly, it was clean and nothing like the outside of it.

It was almost all black everywhere you looked, like the kind a gothic kid would paint his room when he turned 16. She looked over at the equipment and saw that it wasn't the cheap looking 60's stuff that grandparents usually gave to their kids and so on and would end up in an abandoned attic somewhere, it was the expensive 100,000 stuff. But what really caught her mind was what was on the wall right behind the microphone that someone was singing in. It was a poster, not just a simple, plain poster, it was a poster of her, which made her smile that they were all fans of her's.

"Ya know, maybe this won't as bad as I thought it would be." Melina thought in her mind, realizing that the music had stopped playing and the guy in the studio had stepped out and was talking to Joey, she couldn't get a good look at him, just the rest of the guys.

Beth came up to Melina with a big guy in a black Metallica t-shirt and a Tyson Tomko styled red beard that almost made her want to laugh right in front of him. Something about those beards always caught her attention in a comedic way.

" Hey Mel, I wanna introduce you to some people," Beth said looking back at the people in the studio who all looked up. " This right here is Teddy, he's been my friend since I was about 17."

" Hey cutey, nice to finally meet ya, Beth always talks about you, especially after ya beat the hell out of that Playboy chick." Teddy said making Melina laugh and feel better at the same time after thinking about the satisfaction that she'd gotten after punching Candice repeatedly in the face. Teddy put his hand out to her, and Melina shook it with quite a grip that impressed him a lot.

" And back there is Johnny, Ted, Monty, and Chains." Beth said pointing back at everyone else except the guy that was still talking to Joey. Everyone waved at Melina and she returned the favor still trying to think of who that mystery guy was, most likely the guy who she was gonna go on the date with.

Finally, he got done talking with Beth's husband and turned around. And to Melina's shock, he was perfect. He had godly blue eyes, a smile that made her want to scream "hallelujiah", blonde, curly hair like Paul Walker when he grows it out, and he was tall, very tall, like 6'4. He walked toward her with a big smile, as if knowing exactly what was going through Melina's mind when she first saw him turn around and imagined birds flying everywhere and the light from the heavens shining on him.

" And this is.."

" Kevin." he replied sticking his hand out for Melina to shake before Beth could finish introducing him.

" DAMN! I am officially over John...this guy is HOT! How did I not notice HIM in the movie," Melina thought in her head before realizing that she was being kind of rude not raising his hand. "Oops, sorry, lost it for a minute there. I'm..."

" Melina Perez, I know. I asked Beth to ask you to go out, remember?" he reminded Melina who'd completely forgotten that he was a fan. She was still stuck on the fact of how sexy he was, but still shook his hand not even caring that he didn't let go instantly. She was sensitive about those kinds of things.

" Oh yeah, I forgot for a minute there. So, you make music I see?" Melina asked expecting him to interupt her yet again, but he was a complete gentlemen.

" Yeah, in hip hop. We're hoping to make it to the radio in the next year. I think we're almost there, right guys?" he turned around and asked the rest of the men.

"Shut up Kev!" a guy who Melina assumed was Monty shouted jokingly making everyone laugh, even her.

Her gaze reverted back to Kevin and she noticed that his eyes were a shocking blue color. They were light like the sky, but sparkley like the ocean at the same time, she didn't really know how to explain it.

"So, when are we gonna do this?" he asked catching her a bit off guard.

Before she could say her usual 'what' or 'huh?' Melina thought about it and got her head back into the conversation. "Um...I don't know, when do you want wanna...do this?" Melina asked with an unusual tone in her voice, a sort of sensual voice that she barely ever used with anyone, even John.

"Okay...so how's tonight at seven sound to you?" he asked looking down at her instead of at the poster of her like he was doing previously, Melina not even noticing, lost in his eyes.

"That sounds...fine. Where are we going?" Melina asked.

"Well, I guess you're gonna have to find out won't you?" Kevin said finally letting go of her hand very softly which made Melina want to do one of those dramatic romantic novel/movie moans and sink into the floor.

When Kevin went to the back room, Melina noticed that another guy was coming out behind him, and he was wearing a suit, a kind of bland brown color. She instantly noticed this guy though, she actually remembered him from "Friday Night Lights", since she'd seen it yesterday with Beth, it was Jay Hernandez. She also realized that he was the guy from Crazy/Beautiful too but got her mind back on Kevin, who was coming out of the back room with a big box hugged in his arms that made them look like one of those sexy strippers dressed as the firemen or police officers.

"Oh, Melina, before I forget, I wanna introduce you to someone else," he said before dropping the box on a stool, setting it so that it wouldn't fall off like he knew it would. He grabbed Jay's shoulder and directed him in front of Melina, she was shocked that he was only a tiny bit taller than him, he seemed bigger in the movies, he still was healthy looking and quite fit though. "Melina, this is one of my good friends from the movie, Jay. Jay, Melina."

"Hi." Jay said with a smile and stuck his hand out for Melina with a kind of serious, yet fan like smile, she could tell that he watched her on tv a couple of times. She shook his hand and nodded, barely paying attention to him, her mind was on and only on Kevin.

Eventually, Jay left at the same time Melina, Beth, and Joey did and they all said good-bye except Melina who was in the car waiting to leave, but still waved back at Jay who just smiled with a soft wave and got in a limo which actually belonged to the movie studio he was heading to. The whole car ride back home, Melina's mind was mainly on one thing, eyes. Blue, sky-like, sea-like eyes, eyes that made you want to jump directly into a clear pool, swim, and get your whole body wet, even your hair. Before she knew it, they were back at the hotel, getting out of the car, and saying bye to Beth's husband who had to do some traveling for some matches that he had lined up with indy promotions all over the country. Shockingly to Melina, the departure wasn't emotional at all for Beth, she was calm about it, hugged him, kissed him, the usual...like he wasn't even leaving. Melina guessed that she was so used to having a one-sided emotional relationship with John, that she started to think that all relationships were like the cookie cutter soap opera dramaless ones that she was used to seeing on some novela's at home with her grandma.

But in her mind, she decided that tonight wasn't the night, not tonight. She wasn't gonna think about John, work, Candice, nothing, just Kevin and her date. Speaking of her date, Melina had almost forgotten about her outfit that she was going to wear...key word, GOING to wear. Now that she knew what Kevin looked like, she knew that tonight might just be that special kind of night, so she had to be hot, she had to pull out...the dress. She was excited, almost too excited to even get up to the room and get ready. She looked at the clock in the lobby and saw that it was 4:17, which means that she had about two and a half hours to get ready, which in this occasion, would be almost perfect.

When the door opened, Melina felt her feet move a little quicker and her heart start to beat a little bit harder, this was the first time in a while that she was actually EXCITED for a date that wasn't with John. Kevin...Kevin...Kevin was all that re-played in her mind when she slipped slowly into her hot, somewhat warm shower and closed her eyes feeling the water press against her face, chin, neck, stomach, all over. After about twenty minutes, Melina got out of the shower instantly taking in the aroma which reminded her of one of those very sweet smelling, fresh purple candles, she was loving that new body wash she'd bought in New Mexico. Still in her towel and passing by Beth, who started to take notice at how excited and happy she was, Melina pulled out her suitcase, opened it, and dug all the way to the bottom until she got exactly what she was looking for. The signature black dress that almost every woman had locked up in her closet for that special moment.

About an hour and a half later, Melina was still in the bathroom applying some eyeliner under her eye lid wanting to make sure she looked as good as she possibly could for this night, after all, this was Kevin...Kevin...a hot random guy who she didn't even know. That thought usually would've made her bummed out and cancel the date, but when she thought about those eyes and what he could possibly look like with no shirt on, she just decided not to even care anymore. Beth walked into the bathroom eating some pasta that she'd ordered from room service a couple of minutes ago and smiled with a noodle hanging out of her mouth which made Melina laugh thankful that she'd just finished with her eyeliner since she definently would've messed it up at that sight.

"Aww, look at yooou, you're so CUTE!" Beth said in the most girlish voice that she could, which wasn't hard at all for her Melina noticed, still shocked to this day at how girly Beth's voice really was.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks for everything, this guy...oh my god! Why didn't you tell me he was...THAT when you told me about him?" Melina said ready to crack up when that one noodle still hanging off of Beth's mouth fell on her shoe.

"I just wanted you to find out for yourself, and I see you like?"

"Uh...yeah! I would NOT be wearing this after a break up if I didn't."

"Mmm, someone wants to get some ass tonight." Beth said walking off with her pasta laughing and making Melina blush a little bit, thinking secretly in her mind that she would not mind AT ALL if that were to happen.

About ten minutes passed since then and Melina was almost ready, but was missing one thing, her iPod. She was not going to forget it this time, she regretted it the last time she didn't bring it with her and she wasn't about to do that again. She grabbed the little, shiny, grey iPod and slipped it into a little pocket in the tiny black purse that she was carrying tonight that just so happened to match her dress, and thing is, she didn't even think about it until she showed Beth, who was sitting on the couch with a bag of Lays watching an old Fabulous Moolah match, the final product.

"Oh wow, that it hot. Not as hot as I would be in that, but hot." Beth joked.

"Please, you know that you and those big ass arms could not fit in this little ass spaghetti strap." Melina said laughing at Beth who shrugged her shoulders knowing that she did have a point.

"Okay, true. But have a good time tonight, don't be afraid to have fun, and remember, WE wear the pants in ANY relationships now." Beth said sticking up for female empowerment.

"Got it." Melina said laughing her way out of the door and into the eleveator.

She pressed the button to go to the first floor and it seemed like the elevator couldn't possibly go any slower than it was right now. She was going through every emotion at one time and just didn't want to wait any longer for this date to start, and little did she know, she didn't have to. When the door opened, as if it was like a romance novel itself, there was Kevin, all decked out in a black suit looking totally different from the skater look he was rocking earlier on in the day. Melina looked up at the clock above her as she stepped out of the elevator and noticed that she was right on time seven o' clock on the dot. She walked slowly toward Kevin who had an even bigger smile, speechless, not knowing what to say when he saw Melina in that some-what tight dress that showed off her big, roundish boobs (which he was thankful for) and that gorgeous, pearly white smile.

"Wow...you look great, Melina. I mean, I knew you were gorgeous, but this...wow!" Kevin exclaimed making Melina laugh and blush at the same time wishing that it wouldn't show as much that she was nervous.

"Thank you, thank you," Melina said with a smile on her face, finally happy that she was feeling REALLY happy after this past month. John had dumped her, and right before she went downstairs, she looked into the mirror in and just had to think 'HE'S missing out, not me.' "So, where are we going?" Melina asked noticing that she had absoloutely no clue.

"You'll see." Kevin said leading her outside to a big, black stretch limo that made Melina kind of shocked that he could afford being an aspiring 'rapper' and all. She entered the car with Kevin closely behind and was ready to get this amazing night started.

So, there's Chapter 5 for ya. I know it seems kinda romance-novelish (wasn't even going for that, lol), but I won't start making it all cheesy and crap. I need to really get moving on these chapters, lol. Hope you like, sorry if it's a little long for ya, finally got inspired to write though! So, like I said before, hope you like, review, comment, do whatever you gotta do, lol. :)
