***Review of Chapter 10*** (This story is mostly Melissa and Ian so I will be reviewing Melissa's last part in chapter 9)
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.
Chapter 11- I want to give us a chance
Melissa' POV
After a while of me avoiding Ian's' pleading eyes and him having his overly fake smile on, he said genuinely "Mel you should go, you don't want to make your Mom more mad then she is. We can hang out later." I smiled finally persuaded by his words and moved towards him touching my lips against his roughly shaved cheek. As I did this I felt something, maybe a spark or a firework as people call it, but whatever it was it had to of been magical.
I wanted to pounce on him right then and there but I knew it would lead to something I'm just not ready to do yet, and I only hope he's not either. I could see shock in his eyes as I pulled away I guess he felt the same thing I did, he quickly got up putting his hand out for me to grab, hauling me up to my feet I gave him a smile as thank you and hand in hand we started our journey back to the café.
In a distance I heard a voice, one I knew all too well. I smiled realizing that it was a personal concert and stopped in place trying to see where it was coming from. When Ian noticed my sudden stand still he looked at me confused then also heard the noise. We in unison scanned around trying to figure out where they were. In a short time of searching we came across the two love birds or should I say two singing love birds across the woods.
We glanced towards each other pleased with our friends' affections for the other, and the fact that they had finally admitted their feelings. As Eddie sang the words:
"Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But you when smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
That's what makes you beautiful"
Ian moved closer taking my hands in his own and looking into my eyes with so much respect, love, and admiration, he sweetly repeated Eddie "Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe you don't know, you don't know you're beautiful." My reply was simple but I know it got the point across when I leaned in and our lips touched for the first time.
Ians POV
Melissa and I were listening to Eddies' song and all I knew was that it was exactly how my heart and mind felt for her. Our bodies shifted facing the other, we looked into each other's eyes I know she saw happiness for our friends but in my heart all I was thinking about was her and the beauty that she is. I took her hands in mine and all knowing what verse Eddie was singing next I said at the same time "Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe you don't know, you don't know your beautiful." She did something I wasn't expecting but I was overly excited about, she kissed me.
I've had multiple kisses in my day but this wasn't just a kiss it was a response one that said "I want to give us a chance." And that's all I could ever ask for, the chance for her to be mine. Now that I know she will at least try to be with me I can plan something over the top, something that will make our next kiss not just a "chance" but a confirmation that she will and always will be my girl.
In one movement she parted from me turned to the hill and started to walk down again, luckily our hands were still intertwined so I could pull her back to face me, I gave her a kiss on the cheek to let her know that she didn't have to be nervous or insecure. She let out a sigh in relief, the first breath I've heard from her since we first saw Eddie and Loren. I smiled and grabbed her waist bringing her into my embrace she draped her arms around my neck as her head laid comfortably in the crook of it.
Again we were interrupted by the ringing of her phone and we pulled apart, she looked at her phone and back at me with a scared expression etched on her face, she turned it so I could see the front in bold letters it read "LISA" my eyes popped open worried for whatever was to come next, but instead Melissa glanced at her screen again hitting it with her finger and throwing it back into her purse.
She smiled at me and proudly said "She's already mad how much worse can it get?!" I was satisfied by her sense of strength and in return to her comment I said "Very true love" we laughed and again we were on our way to her car. When we arrived we unhappily looked at each other pressing into another hug, we pulled away I wasn't really sure if she wanted to kiss again so I gave her a peck on the cheek instead.
Going around her body I opened the door letting her step inside and then I shut it behind her. She turned her head towards me smiling as she started her engine, she waved her last goodbye then was on her way, unprotected, and vulnerably to the place she calls home, but pretty much everyone else calls it a nut house.
Melissa's POV
I was getting uncomfortable and very insecure when we stopped our kiss, I quickly turned around and tried to walk away so he wouldn't see but of course I forgot that we were still holding hands and he twirled me around again giving me a kiss on the cheek, I was so grateful that he wasn't mad at me. I let out a deep breath I didn't know I was holding in when he did that finally at peace with the fact that this may work out.
He being the sweet guy that he is noticed how relived I was and pulled me into a hug I happily wrapped my arms around his neck as he secured his around my waist. Everything was perfect until my phone started to ring again. We parted sadly as I searched in my bag for my cell phone, when I pulled it out I noticed the name flashing across. Ian looked at me and questioned why I was so shocked, I turned my phone towards him as his face started to make the same expression mine was. I took a breath as I rotated it back to me and hit decline. I was no longer scared or fearful of what she could do to me, but I was happy and I'm not letting her ruin the time I have with Ian especially just to listen to her yell more.
I calmly stated "She's already mad how much worse can it get?!" he shook his head proud that I was finally able to stick up for myself and said "Very true love." God I love his accent, every time I hear a word come out I just want to …. Nope not going there. Anyway after he replied we laughed knowing how right we were.
As we walked up to my beat up old car "Sonny" I turned to face Ian one last time so we could say a proper good bye, he hugged me tightly not wanting to let go which is good because I didn't either. But when we finally did let go of each other he looked at me and I hoped a kiss was to come; now I know I was the one that said we should take it slow and see where it goes but after that first time all I want to do right now is that.
Instead he gave me a kiss on the cheek passing behind me to open the door, I reluctantly get in as he slams the door behind me, I put the key in the ignition and turn it as I smile towards him, we wave good bye and its then that I realize where I'm headed my nerves kick in as I remember how mad my Mom is going to be for me ignoring her phone call.
What will it be like when Melissa finally gets home? Where is Ian going to go now that he's alone? Will he go back to watch what goes down with Loren and Eddie?
Alright here it is :) again guys I'm really sorry it took so long but I hope it was worth it. I like this Chapter a lot and with any luck you did too!
