***Review of Chapter 8***
She twisted back to her original spot breaking our intimate stare, I did the same but scooted closer to her in the process, she looked at me letting out a sweet little giggle. I then turned my attention to her lonely hand considering whether or not to take it, I'm guessing she noticed because she moved it towards mine intertwining them together.
Chapter 9- Recognized a voice
Melissa's POV
Ok so I'm pretty sure I am the dumbest girl on the earth. I just turned down Ian, why the hell did I do that? I mean yeah I know why; I'm scared he'll break my heart, and that it would ruin our friendship. But I should still see where this goes, maybe I can give him a chance; go on a date see how that turns out?
As I'm about to speak for the first time since we started holding hands I hear a buzz coming from my purse, I unhappily separated my hand from Ian's so I could reach into my bag, I pulled out my cellphone which read "Lisa" on it. I hesitantly hit accept not knowing how my Mom was going to act, sometimes she's cool other times she is overprotecting and really rude. I nervously said "Hello" and that's when it started; her ranting "Where have you been Melissa? I told you to be home an hour ago so we could celebrate your brother's birthday but no you decide to disappear to where ever it is you are with whomever it is you're with. I need you home NOW."
She didn't let me get one word out before she hung up the phone. I sighed in annoyance, of course my delinquent brother Phil's birthday how could I have forgotten? I don't get why it's such a big deal Phil has missed my birthdays for as long as I can remember, but the one time I forget about his Lisa goes all psycho on me. I mean he's freaking 19 years old can't he celebrate by himself?
The worst part of this is not that I have to go home to an angry mother, "perfect" brother, and oblivious Father, but that I have to leave Ian. I want to stay here holding hands watching the sun set and then watch it rise again in the morning, but if I don't leave now my Mom is going to call again; and that's a conversation I do not want to have.
When I turned towards Ian after the phone call to tell him the bad news his face fell. I unhappily say "That was my Mom and apparently I was supposed to be home an hour ago so I sadly need to head out. I'm sorry." He gave a smile which I could tell was phony, he's sad and I feel terrible about leaving him but there's nothing I can do.
Eddie's POV
After that fight I know never to get on Lo's bad side geez she practically just tore Chloe to pieces. I am completely surprised to say the least, but I actually found that to be the sexiest thing I have ever seen her do. I mean Chloe is not the easiest person to scare off; believe me I've tried, but Loren just did it in less than 5 minutes, and did it without breaking a sweat.
I hear her yell something so I shake my head to bring me back to reality not realizing I was in another world. I finally look her in the eyes and get lost again my mind went blank everything around us now black and all I could see was her. God she's gorgeous, that tan fit body, dark brown long and wavy hair, her perfectly formed lips, those amazing legs, and my personal favorite her sparkling hazel eyes.
Again I was brought out of my thoughts when Loren started to apologize, I couldn't take it anymore I needed her and I needed her now. I pushed her against the café wall cutting off whatever she was saying and planted an intense kiss right on her lips. She surprised by it stood still for a second but quickly got used to my fast actions.
We pulled away finally allowing our demanding bodies the air they so desperately needed. She looked at me with wondering eyes and asked "So you're not mad?" I simply answered her with a touch of our lips; we parted and with a still curious look on her face she questioned me again "Then why did you stare at me like that?" I smiled thinking about the exact words to say and replied "Because that was the absolute hottest thing I've ever seen you do."
I knew I caught her off guard when I saw a blush and smile creep up on her face. She averted my gaze and got out of my grip not wanting me to see her embarrassed; but I found it to be even cuter.
Loren's POV
When Eddie said that my face turned all shades of red, but I couldn't help it he's just so sweet and it's the first time he's ever called me "Hot" well second time….but I don't think it really counted.
**Flashback**
Eddie was having a pool party for the last day of summer which isn't out of the ordinary; his family always has parties that everyone loves to go to probably because their house is a big beautiful white 3 story mansion, with what seems like a billion windows, and has the prettiest back yard; decorated with lights streamed all around the porch, a pool with a lovely waterfall flowing into it, and a high diving board, a hot tub, and just enough grass for games like football, volleyball, and anything else you can think of, the perfect setting for a party like this one.
Eddie invited 30 of his closest friends not wanting too many people to be there, he's laid back and would rather enjoy himself then worry about hundreds of random people crashing his house. It was finally time for the party to begin and already half the people were there. Everyone started to take off their over garments then jumped into the pool, but before Eddie dove in he wanted to make sure everyone was comfortable and felt at home.
Eddie swiftly looked over to his right not expecting to see anything out of the ordinary but was shocked when he saw his "best friend" Loren taking off her dress showing a dark blue bikini underneath, Eddie's eyes shot open in awe of how breathtaking she looked. He blew in and out a few times trying to get his composure back then calmly walked in her direction. When he finally made it to her he just stood there silent not exactly knowing what to say, she looked at him trying to figure out why he was staring at her like that; just as she thought about walking away he opened his mouth she waited but again Eddie didn't say a word.
Loren instead spoke up feeling insecure "I know this is too much but Melissa said I had to buy it or else." Eddie shook his head then accidently said what he was thinking "No, you look hot" he quickly covered his mouth with his hands stunned by what he had just admitted. Loren on the other hand thought Eddie was kidding so she let out an amused laugh. "Yeah... ok good one Ed" He smiled realizing that she thought it was a joke and played along laughing with her. She smirked again then pushed Eddie in the pool hopping in after him.
The rest of the night was fun for the two of them; they fought a few times in the pool dunking one another forgetting all about Eddie's slip of the tongue.
**End of Flashback**
After I got out of Eddie's grasp I started to walk away hoping Eddie would let it go but he grabbed my swinging arm and twirled me around. I looked up at him with an embarrassed smile as I tried to think of a way to change the subject but before I could Eddie whispered "I'm trying to figure out which time was hotter the time I first saw you in a bikini or now."
I smacked Eddie in the arm bothered by his comment but all he did was laugh back. I turned around again trying to think of a place to go when I couldn't think of anything I just strutted to the woods behind the café. Eddie whistled and I just shook my head not quite used to the fact that he finds me attractive.
As I was walking I felt a pat on my back, I spun around to find Eddie holding his guitar, I tilted my head not sure of what was to come next. He took my hand and led me to a nearby stump he motioned for me to sit down and I did as I was told. Right as I took a seat he started to explain everything.
Ian's POV
Melissa and I have been holding hands for what feels like a lifetime not saying a word but knowing exactly what the other was thinking. If only we could have stayed like that forever, but unfortunately we were interrupted by her Mothers phone call. Whatever Mels Mom was saying to her I could tell she was frustrated by. When she ended the conversation she hesitantly looked at me and said ""That was my Mom and apparently I was supposed to be home an hour ago so I sadly need to head out. I'm sorry."
I tried to put on a fake smile to let her know I was ok with it, but truth is I wasn't. I wanted to be with her all day and now that I can't be its really disappointing. I could tell she saw right through my smile when she sighed in reply, I looked at her again trying to get her to understand that I was fine and said "Mel you should go, you don't want to make your Mom more mad then she is. We can hang out later."
She smiled realizing that I was being genuine then gently leaned in giving me a peck on the cheek. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a spark because I most certainly did, if a kiss on my cheek gives me chills I wonder what a real kiss will do.
I then being the kind gentleman I am got up first; putting out my hand so she could take it, slowly she elevated back to her feet giving me an appreciative smile. I walked her down the hill not trying to rush our speed when all of a sudden she stopped, I was about to question her but as soon as I stood still I realized that the reason she did was because she recognized the voice that was somewhere in the woods. Each of us looked around trying to figure out where the melody was coming from then we saw them, about 100 yards to our left Loren sitting on a stump and Eddie singing his pretty little heart out.
What will Eddie say to explain himself? What is he gonna sing? Will Melissa and Ian watch the whole thing go down or give Eddie and Loren privacy?
So there it is Chapter 9 I hope you all liked it, if you did please review so I know. Your comments inspire me and make me want to write faster, so if you want new chapters tell me what you think :) (wow that sounded kind of mean) but it's true if I don't get a lot of reviews it doesn't always make me want to write my story but when I get really good ones I can't tell you how much I want to write.
I'm going to post again as soon as possible so until then fanfictioners.
XOXO
