"That's cool" Dan said. "Can I get you anything. Coffee? Water? Pop" Melinda said. "Coffee is fine" Dan said. "Come on" Melinda led him to the kitchen. She led him to the kitchen and pour them both a cup of coffee "So how's the family" Melinda asked as she sat down at the table and handed him his cup of coffee. "Mom is good, she's dating again. Jim is doing is own thing. He just finished school. He has like a lot of degrees for multiple things" Dan said. He took a drink of his coffee. "Wow that's good" Melinda said. Dan stared at her. "What" Melinda asked. "I can't believe you dyed your hair blonde" Dan said. Melinda laughed "My brown hair was just old me. It was time for a change. So when I left. I changed myself" Melinda said. "So how is Steve" Dan asked. "Oh he is..........uh doing good" Melinda said. "That's good" Dan said. They both sat at the table for 2 hours and caught up with each other. Dan looked at his watch "Well I better go. I start work soon" Dan said stood up. "Ok well we'll have to do this again sometime" Melinda said and stood up also. "Yeah we definitely will" Dan said. "Let me get your check" Melinda looked around and seen the check on the counter "Here it is" Melinda handed it to Dan "So I'll see you tonight" Dan said and hugged her "Yeah I'll see you tonight" Melinda said. Dan started to walk out the door "Uh Dan, is Jim coming tonight" Melinda asked nervously. "Yeah I think so" Dan said. Melinda nodded "Ok see you later" Melinda said.
Melinda quickly washed the vegetables and made her blueberry pie. Beth came walking in with the groceries. Melinda went and helped her mother. Melinda put them on the table. "MOM, Next time warn me. Why the hell didn't you tell me the lawn guy was Dan" Melinda asked. Beth sighed "Would you have done it if I said it was" Beth said. Melinda sighed in frustration "And now Jim is coming to the BBQ according to Dan. I can't do this. I won't be here" Melinda said she was pretty hesitant. "Sweetie, calm down. Everything will be fine and you will be here. Everyone is coming to see you" Beth said. "See this is why I don't come home. I just wanted to come home and relax and just visit with you not the whole damn town" Melinda said. "Melinda, calm down. I talked to Faith and I don't think Jim is coming. He may have to work" Beth said. Melinda looked relieved "Thank god. I hope he does because I don't want to see him. I wouldn't know what to say to him" Melinda sat down "The last time I seen him. I made a fool of myself and told him I loved him and you know what he said I love you too but more like a sister" Melinda said. Melinda sat there thinking as Beth put the groceries away.
Flashback
Melinda & Jim were in Jim's bedroom playing a video game. Jim was trying to show Melinda how to play the Wii. "Oh god. I suck at this" Melinda laughed as she was trying to bowl with the Wii stick. "You'll get the hang off it" Jim said and took his turn, he easily scored a strike. Melinda groaned "Your kicking my ass big time" Melinda said she was still laughing. Melinda took her turn, Jim laughed as she missed all the pins and went straight in the gutter. They both laughed "This is not funny" she laughed. Jim took his turn then put his Wii stick down "Here I'll show you" Jim said and got behind her and took her hand into his "Well first, your gripping the stick too tight. Let loose" Jim said. Melinda stared at Jim in the corner of her eyes. Melinda let loose "Now keep your arm straight and just pull it back" Jim pulled her arm back with his. Melinda had goosebumps going all over her from Jim touching her. Melinda & Jim both pushed there arms up and scored a strike on the game. Melinda smiled and hugged him. "See that's all you need to do" Jim said and hugged her back. They both started to pull away but Melinda stopped and met Jim's lips with hers and kissed him. Jim pulled away "What are you doing" he asked. "I can't hold it back anymore" Melinda said and kissed Jim again. Jim pulled away and didn't say anything "I love you Jim" Melinda said. "Well I love you too but more like a sister" Jim said. "What" Melinda ask, she looked puzzled. "You know we can never be a couple. We been friends since we were babies. It would be too weird. We are like brother and sister" Jim said. "Oh" Melinda said, she looked hurt. Jim didn't know what to say to her. "I better go" Melinda grabbed her things. "Ok" Jim said. Melinda left, tears starting falling down her face as she left the house.
End of Flashback.
"No I can't do it mom. He's going to be here tonight" Melinda said and stood up. "Yes you will" Beth said as Melinda left the kitchen. A few hours later, Melinda was helping Beth with all the food. The guests were starting to arrive. A few people walked into the house "Beth, you need any help" the women asked. Melinda & Beth turned around "Mrs. Clancy, how are you" Melinda asked. "What no hug" Faith asked. Melinda smiled and hugged her "I'm good sweetie. It's good to see you home at least for a while" Faith said. "It's good to see you too" Melinda said. "So do you guys need any help" Faith asked. "No we got everything. Just go out there and have a good time" Beth said. Beth handed Melinda a platter of food "Take it outside" Beth said. Melinda took it outside and put it on the table. "Well well well. I'll be damned" a girl said behind her. Melinda turned around "Oh my god. Andrea" Melinda hugged her "How have you been" she asked Andrea. "I'm good. How's everything with you? How's Steve" Andrea asked. "Everything is going great and Steve is good. Thanks for asking" Melinda said. Something then caught Melinda's eye. Melinda noticed Jim had just walked in with a girl. Melinda quickly turned back to face Andrea "What's wrong" Andrea asked. "Hey Andrea" Jim said and walked up to her. "Hey Jim" Andrea hugged him. Melinda turned around and seen who was hugging Andrea. Melinda & Jim both stared at each other "Hi" Melinda said nervously. "Hey" Jim said. They didn't know if they should hug or not. Melinda hugged him. "How you been" Melinda asked. "Good. You" Jim asked. "Good. Who's this" Melinda asked as she stared at the girl next to him, Melinda appeared somewhat jealous about this girl Jim bought with him and was curious about her. "Oh I'm sorry, this is my girlfriend Britney" Jim said. "Hi. Nice to meet you" Melinda said and shook her hand. "Hi" Britney said. Melinda did her best at hiding her jealousy. "Well I better get back in there and help my mom" Melinda said. "Yeah ok" Andrea said. "I'll see you all later" Melinda went back in the house. Jim, Andrea & Jim's girlfriend all walked off to talk. Melinda went to her room without saying anything to her mom and laid down on her bed. "Coming home was a bad idea. I don't think I can do this" Melinda said to herself.
