Check for photos of Melissa (at least what I think she looks like), on the website.
Melissa walked into the room she shared with Amy. Amy was trying to go thru her things to see what she was wearing tonight. She had a major crush on Shane, and he didn't know. Knowing he was going, she was definitely going out too.
"What should I wear, this", she said holding up a lime green halter top with some blue jeans, "or this", holding up a red one shoulder shirt, with a leather mini.
"Second one", Melissa grinned.
"Cool, he'll notice in this one", she grinned walking into the bathroom.
Melissa pulled out her outfit she planned for. It was a tan halter, and a suede skirt. It had a suede and fur vest to match. She went with Stacey and Torrie to buy the tan boots earlier today. So she decided to dress out in the room. Their was a knock at the door as she finished
She answered, and their was the bellboy with flowers.
"These are for you", he said.
"Ok".
She took the flowers, tipping him, and shutting the door. She wanted to know how sent them, and she read the note.
Lizzy-
Thanks for the apology, and I ask for forgiveness for not being more of a man to put myself in a better position.
-Paul
She grinned at the note, and hopped to get done. She could no longer be mad at him, and tonight was going to be great.
~Paul's room~
He was talking with John, and Randy.
"She should have gotten them by now, quit pacing".
He stopped, and looked at the phone.
"Don't call her either. Just get dressed", Randy laughed.
He put his muscle shirt on with his jeans. He felt he wanted to be comfortable. He put his hair in a ponytail, and was ready to go.
"You two goons ready", he chuckled.
"Yeah, she said she would meet us there".
They walked out the elevator, everyone else was already there, but Melissa. She was walking out from the elevator at the same time they were. They saw her, and Randy mouthed 'oh shit', and Paul was in shock and awe.
"Damn girl, where are you goin lookin like that?", John said looking at her.
"Out to celebrate, right Paul?", she joked.
"Yeah", he said playing it cool.
"Well, see you guys there", she turned walking away.
After she was out of sight, he let his breath out.
"We got to hurry up, she looked damn good", he said.
"She was looking at you too", John said.
They laughed, and left to the club.
They got their and walked to the VIP booth Trish got. She was there with Chris and Shane.
"I know what you are going to ask, she's out dancing over there with Amy. SHANE hasn't stopped watching either", Trish stressed.
Paul looked over there, and they were dancing and laughing. She looked over to see everyone watching the two of them. She continued to dance with Amy.
"Hey looks like we have an audience", she said pointing to the table.
"Cool, here comes Trish", Amy said.
Trish came over dancing, and hugging Melissa. They danced, and the guys watched them, until Paul couldn't take it anymore. He got up to go over, and dance with his girlfriend. He figured after the exposed information, and the flowers everything was back to normal. Amy and Trish saw him coming, but Melissa's back was turned. He danced up right behind her, and she turned around almost ready to say something.
"Hey, didn't think you were dancing tonight", she said over the music.
"Yes, after seeing a beautiful woman on the dance floor, I had to".
"Alright then, I'll dance with you, if you'll have me", she said wrapping her arms around his waist.
"I wouldn't want it any other way".
He picked her up, and it shocked her, but she went with it. She looked at him the entire time, and was enjoying herself. She had to admit to herself, she missed him, and wanted him the whole time they were apart. He was staring into her hazel eyes, and was enjoying her being there with him. He let her down, and they danced around all night. He decided to take a break, and he let her dance on her own. Sitting at the table he saw Randy and Torrie making out.
"Will you two get a room", he joked.
"I think we have to take a restroom break", she grinned.
"I never think of using the restroom in public ever again", Chris said to them.
They left to the restroom and he looked back over to see her dancing with John.
"You ok with that?", Shane asked, as he sat with Amy.
"Yeah, she loves me, and if she wants to dance with John, well so be it".
Dave strolled over with Stacey, and they were "cozy".
"Something you fail to tell me buddy?", Paul said.
"I asked Stacey out tonight, and we are here together, I know, then that means Ric is alone on the hooking up department. He'll live", he said.
They sat, and drank some more. Melissa and John came over, and she sat next to Paul, putting her hand on his leg. He looked at her, and she looked up at him smiling.
"Can we talk?', he asked over the music.
"Yeah, lets go to the diner across the street".
They got up to leave, and John and Dawn Marie stopped them.
"Hey it's karaoke night here, they are going to start, you wanna try that song we were listening too?", he asked.
"Yeah, Paul sit here I'll be right back", she said.
Paul and Dawn decided to sit with the group to see John and Melissa.
"Now this is blackmail", Paul said grinning.
They went to the stage of the club, and the music started. The crowd went crazy, and John started rapping.
There
we go, okay, okay
Don't do me Greasy, okay
Uh, ay yo
You
know what a dog needs
Do you really know what a dog needs?
Uh a
dog needs a bitch!
What? What? A dog needs a bitch!!!
Come on

Not just any bitch but a real bitch
That's gonna hold that
dog down
Arf! Arf!
Baby I am what I am, I'm gon' be who I
be
Everything from chasing a cat to pissin' on a tree
Let me
see what I gotta to see
Do what I gotta to do
Dog for life but
keep it true
Every once in a while I'll break out the backyard to
roam
And get reckless
But I still know that home is home
And
when I get there I'ma sit there
Take a shit there
Put my dick
there
Do I handle my business?
Shit yeah
I'ma run till I
bust my gun and empty the clip
Never come home, I gotta go just
gimme the whip
I ain't got time for the lip
Just open the
fence
Let me go I'll come back
I ain't got time to
convince
Ever since I was a pup
I've been stuck with the street
shit
Keep the heat shit
Fuck it nigga gotta eat shit
I past
on a weak shit
If it's out there I want it
All at one time
So
when it's my time, I've done it
The group watched in amazement. Then it was Melissa's turn, and she was lookin like she was on fire.
I
know you'd kill for me
You'd die for me
I know you like to rip
and run the streets
But I get nervous sometimes
Baby, I can't
help to think
You might not make it home to eat
I barely
sleep
Could you pick up the phone and call me at home?
And let
me know you ain't in some heat
And don't go crying, you're
grown
You know I'm looking out for you
Cause you be looking out
for me, me, me
(Yo you can go with your dogs)
If you make this
promise to me
You'll make it back in one piece
(So you can go
with your dogs)
If you make this promise to me
You'll
make it back in one piece
(Boy, you go back and you ball)
But
you make this promise to me
You make it back in one piece
(I
know you up in it all)
If you make this promise to me
You make
it back in one piece
They fed off of each other as if it was there song. John did it, for the public, he wanted them to take him seriously, and for Melissa, it was just fun. He was a good friend, and she did it for him. They finished the song and the crowd went wild. The two walked back to the group, and sat down.
"Wow, you two are good", Shane said.
"We practiced for it. I found out there was a contest, and John needed the credibility, so we came together for weeks and practiced", she said.
"It was fun, and for me, it was a blast being on stage like that", John said.
Paul, John and Melissa stood up and they were going to leave, but John wanted to talk to Melissa.
"Hey, what you did was cool, an in my book, you a fly honey", he said.
"It's cool, it's all about the thugonomics, baby", she said hugging him.
Everyone laughed, and Paul and Melissa left the group there.
They walked to the diner, and sat down in a booth. She saw the two 21 year olds in the table across the way. They were staring, and realized who they were.
"Ms. Smith can we have your autograph?", the guy asked.
She grinned, and he gave his before they asked. They took a picture with them, and they were so excited. Looking over the menu, the owner came over to take their order.
"It's on the house, my kids love you guys. So what will it be", she said.
"Coffee, and apple pie", Paul said.
"Strawberry Milkshake, I'm celebrating", she grinned.
"Alright, I'll back".
She walked off, and Paul took Melissa's hand.
"I want to tell you that you were right. I thought about this for a while, and I should have walked back out or something".
"It's done, and I'm cool, I settled my grievances with Stephanie. It may not have been the best way, but it's done".
He chuckled, and she did too.
"Paul, I want a serious commitment, are you sure you can deal with that?", she asked.
"I'm willing if you are", he answered.
"Well I guess we are ok then", she said switching sides.
"Lizzy…..", he warned.
"I do, trust me, I do".
Even at his home that they shared, they weren't intimate. He respected the fact she wanted to be sure, and frankly he wanted it to be very special, willing to wait until they got married. He thought about having kids with her, getting old with her. He always saw that in her after first meeting her. He told her that, and oddly enough she felt the same way. That they knew what the other was feeling, thinking, and wanting at that moment. Right now he knew she wanted to consummate their relationship. Why not, they lived together, slept together, but not in that sense. They knew they were going to be together forever, so why not?
His logical side kicked in.
"Because she wants to wait, she wants to wait for the right man. We know that's us, but maybe waiting until the relationship is deeper is the best thing", he thought.
"No, I said I will wait, and I mean it. We will wait. I love you that much, that I will wait as long as I have to. We have the rest of our lives to have sex. It should be special", he said kissing her forehead.
"Ok, but you'll at least hold me, while I'm sleeping right?"
"Of course"
They sat in the diner talking and holding each other. Not wanting the night to end, but knew it would, and reality would take over.
They got their cars and drove back to the hotel, and went to grab her things from Amy's room. There was no luck, so she had to sleep without her things until morning. Walking into his room, he was watching the news.
"Where's you stuff?"
"Amy was 'pre-occupied'", she chuckled.
"Well, you could use my stuff, and grab a t-shirt from my suitcases", he said walking up to her.
"Thanks, I heard moaning and things, and didn't wanna walk it", she chuckled.
Grabbing his suitcase, a picture fell out, and it was of the group press photo. They were standing, Dave, Paul, Melissa, Ric, and Randy, with there arms crossed. The next one was them goofing around.
"You carry these?"
"Yeah, it's my family, why not?"
"Just Curious".
She grabbed a "game over" shirt, and went to take a shower. He got undressed, and snuggled into the bed. He called for room service, since neither one had dinner. Putting the receiver back on the hook, he turned around to find her standing in the doorway, with her hair up, and wearing his shirt. Now he was regretting every last thing he said to waiting. He got up to walk over to her. It was the first time she wasn't in flannel or a sweat suit. Just a shirt, and nothing else. It turned him on, and she examined his frame, and she was getting hotter by the minutes. Lustful feelings she never felt before were there, and this time she wanted to act on them.
He stood in front of her, and she looked up at him. He picked her up, and carried her to the bed. Laying her down, he leaned slowly to kiss her. She responded, and didn't stop him. Rubbing his hands up the shirt, he ached herself, to show she was responsive. He continued to kiss her, and they tore each others articles off, and made passionate love.
Around 3am, they laid in the bed, and she was thinking.
"Paul", she whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Where do we go from here?"
"Just being together".
"I love you Paul".
"I love you Melissa".
They feel asleep in each others arms, ready for what ever journey was ahead of them.

p.s. : that was Aaliyah and DMX, it was another song originally, but I loved the chemistry of this song.
