The next morning came rather quickly. Melinda opened her eyes to see her living room. She sat up and looked around, trying to figure out what happened the day before. She saw something moving on the floor. She jumped when she saw it was a person. Melinda sighed in relief when she realized Jim was sleeping on the floor. Climbing onto the floor, she wrapped herself in Jim's arms. He still slept peacefully. She smiled and cuddled against him.

An hour later, Jim woke up and found Melinda sleeping in his arms. He smiled and kissed her forehead. Melinda woke up to Jim holding her tighter.

"Why are you on the floor?" Melinda mumbled.

"Why are you?" Jim chuckled.

"I want to be in your arms." she yawned.

"How does it feel?" he asked.

"Unfamiliar." she said.

"Is it bad?" Jim worried.

"No. It feels safe. I like it." Melinda snuggled closer to him.

"Good." he smiled and kissed her head.

"I find it so funny how fast we got comfortable with each other." she smiled.

"I do, too. But I would rather have it this way than have to wait weeks or even months. It wasn't like we were strangers. We just fought a lot." Jim chuckled.

"That didn't happen, remember?" she looked up at him.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry." he kissed her softly.

"So we have no work today since it's Saturday. What do you want to do?" she asked.

"I don't know. Whatever you want to do is fine with me." he said.

Melinda thought for a minute.

"Well, I was going to spend my day in the kitchen experimenting. I don't know if you wanna join me but I think it would be fun." she replied.

"Sounds like fun. Ooh, we can have a cooking competition." he chuckled.

"Uh, no. I know you're like a master chef." she smiled.

"Exactly why we should do it." he said.

"Nope." she got off the floor. "I'm gonna go take a shower and stuff."

"Okay. I'll do the same." Jim got up, too.

"See you in a few." she kissed him before he left to go to his apartment.

Half an hour later, Jim returned to Melinda's place and knocked on the door. She opened it and Jim's eyes popped out of his head. She was wearing a short black dress that barely covered her body with black stilettos and her hair fell in messy waves. Melinda smiled.

"Do you always cook in that kind of clothes?" Jim couldn't take his eyes off her body.

"Only when I have hot guys over." she smirked.

"And how many times do you have hot guys over?" he narrowed his eyes, getting jealous.

"You'll never know." she took his hand and pulled him into her apartment.

"Well, I don't know why you're dressed like that now. There are no hot guys here." Jim looked around, stupidly.

"Okay, then. I'll go change." she started walking away.

"No." he pulled her close to him.

"Do you think you're hot?" she asked.

"Yes.' he rolled his eyes.

"Good. Because you are." she kissed him.

Jim trailed his hands down her sides and all over her back as they kissed. Melinda's hands were exploring Jim's chest and shoulders. She moaned as his hands slipped into one of the openings in her dress.

"You…drive…me…crazy." Jim mumbled as he trailed kisses down to her neck.

"Jim." Melinda moaned and gripped onto his hair.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped onto him. Jim wrapped his arms around her back and braced her against the wall. He kissed her on the lips again and their tongues played with each other in Melinda's mouth. They continued to make out for a while. Melinda's hands went up Jim's shirt, feeling around. Jim pulled away.

"Maybe we shouldn't do this." he breathed.

"Why not?" she asked.

"I don't want you to regret this later. I want you to really want it." Jim set her on her feet.

"Jim, I won't regret it. I want you." she wrapped her arms around his neck again and kissed him passionately.

Jim didn't pull away. They made out heavily as Melinda slipped her hands into his shirt.

"No, Melinda. I don't think this is a good idea." Jim pulled her hands out of his shirt.

"Oh, I get it." she said sadly.

"No, it's not what you think." he placed his hands on her shoulders.

"No, it is. I understand. I shouldn't have thrown myself at you." Melinda started to walk away.

Jim pulled her to him and kissed her passionately. He lifted her up and wrapped her legs around himself. Melinda pulled away.

"Just stop. Don't force yourself." a tear fell from her eye, but she kept her arms around his neck.

She was hurt that he didn't want her the way she wanted him.

"Melinda. I want you. I've always wanted you. But I wanted you to fall in love with me first. So then I know you are really ready to give yourself to me." Jim explained.

"Jim." Melinda caressed his face with her hands and looked into his eyes. "I'm already in love with you."

"Really?" he was stunned.

"Yes. I knew the feeling was always there. But how could I say it if you didn't feel the same way. I was afraid you'd run away." she said.

Jim responded by kissing her. Melinda kissed him back."Well, at least I know I didn't scare you away." she smiled.

"And you should know that I love you, too." he smiled.

"Prove it." she kissed him again.

Jim moved his hands down to the bottom of her ass and pulled her dress up. He carried her to her bedroom and laid her down on the bed. Melinda immediately pulled off his shirt and threw it on the floor. Jim pulled off her dress and kissed all over her neck. She pulled his pants down, leaving him only in his boxers. She looked at him as his chest moved up and down, trying to slow his breathing.

"God, Jim. You're so freaking hot." Melinda said as one of her hands ran over his chest and the other one made its way to her panties.

Jim smiled as he saw her trying to finger herself. He moved her hand away and took off her bra. Next, he pulled off her panties and held them up to his face, taking in the smell of her love juices. He looked over her naked body and licked his lips.

"I'm gonna love this." Jim smirked and bent down to kiss her stomach.

He worked his way up to her breasts, kissing each one gently. Then, rubbed her between her legs.

"Please, don't tease me." Melinda pleaded.

"Sorry, babe. But it's too damn good to see you like this." Jim started rubbing her harder.

Melinda closed her eyes and bit her lip. She let out a moan, grabbing the sheets, and arching her back off the bed. Jim could see she was coming close, so he stopped what he was doing.

"No, don't stop." she moaned.

Jim pulled his boxers off. Melinda's eyes widened at his special spot. Jim kissed her passionately as he rubbed himself against her. Melinda pushed him off of her and climbed on top of him. Jim grabbed onto her hips and looked at her for permission. She nodded and he gently thrust into her. Melinda let out a moan and closed her eyes.

Ten minutes later, Jim and Melinda laid in bed staring at the ceiling. Both of them were breathing heavily.

"Wow." Jim breathed. "That was…amazing."

"Yeah, it was. Most unbelievable thing I've ever experienced." Melinda replied.

"You can say that again." he smiled.

"Best experimenting I've ever done." she chuckled.

"Yup." he laughed.

Melinda snuggled under his arm and rested her head on his chest. She breathed in the scent of his skin and smiled. Jim kissed the top of her head and held her tighter. They stayed like that for a while. They talked about their lives, letting the other in on practically everything. They opened up everything about themselves to each other. It went on for hours.

"Alright. I'm getting hungry. What about you?" Melinda got up from bed.

"Yeah, I could go for some food." Jim got up, too.

He pulled on his boxers and his jeans as Melinda got dressed. He looked around, trying to find his shirt but had no luck.

"Mel, do you know where my…" Jim stopped when he realized Melinda was wearing it. "…shirt is. Damn, you look beautiful."

"Thank you." she blushed as they walked out into the kitchen.

"Do you just wanna order take out? I'm too hungry to actually cook something." Melinda said.

"Sure." he smiled.

They ordered Chinese and ate in the living room while watching TV. After lunch, Jim went to take a nap while Melinda relaxed by herself. She was in the bedroom watching Jim sleep, when her phone started ringing. She quickly got out of the room to answer it.

"Hello?" she said.

"Hey, is it okay if I come over today?" Andrea asked.

"Uh, yeah." Melinda replied.

"You sure? Are you doing anything?" Andrea wanted to make sure.

"Yeah, it's fine. I'm not doing anything." Melinda said.

"Okay. See you later." Andrea hung up.

Melinda walked back into her bedroom and went to get ready for when her friend came over. An hour later, she was dressed. Jim was still asleep when a knock was heard at the door. Melinda opened the door expecting Andrea, but it turned out to be all of her girl friends.

"Andrea! I thought it was only you." Melinda said.

"Well, it was supposed to be but then I thought we should have a little party." Andrea replied, lifting a big bottle of champagne.

"Yeah, come on Melly. We haven't seen you in a while and we just wanted to hang out for a while." Holly smiled.

"Okay." Melinda smiled and grabbed champagne glasses for everyone.

The girls started chatting about everyday life. However, Melinda kept her love life a secret. No one suspected anything out of the ordinary. She wasn't sure how to bring up the fact that she was with Jim, since the last time they talked Sam was in the picture. That would involve a lot of explaining and she wasn't up for it at that moment.

All of sudden, Jim walked out of Melinda's bedroom.

"Mel, what's all the-" Jim stopped when he noticed the room full of girls.

"Whoa." Delia's eyes widened.

Everyone gasped. Jim didn't notice he was still shirtless.

"Melinda, you wanna tell us something?" Andrea looked at her.

"Uh, no." Melinda got up and pushed Jim back into her room.

"Why did you come outside?" Melinda asked him.

"I heard noises. I wanted to know what was going on out there." he said.

"Great." she mumbled.

"What's wrong?" Jim asked. "Are you trying to keep us a secret?"

"No. No, of course not. I just didn't want to explain everything today." Melinda sighed.

"Well, then don't." Jim wrapped his arms around her.

"They won't let it go." Melinda leaned into him. "I have to tell them."

"I'm sorry for going out there." he said.

"No, it's okay. I think they were shocked at how hot you look shirtless." she giggled.

"Haha. Go tend to your friends while I go back to sleep." Jim planted a kiss on her lips and jumped back into bed.

Melinda laughed and went back into the living room. Her friends were waiting for answers. Melinda played it off and acted like nothing happened.

"So, where were we? Oh right, Melissa, you said something about Kyle." Melinda sipped her champagne.

"No, no, no." Vanessa quipped. "Melissa can wait. Right now, we wanna know what the hell Jim is doing in your bedroom. Shirtless."

"He's sleeping. His apartment is being renovated and he needed a place to crash." Melinda said.

"Really?" Hayden asked, everyone was unconvinced.

"Yeah. I've been sleeping out here while he was in there. We may not be good friends, but I wouldn't settle him with the couch." Melinda was making it up as she went.

"Why would he stay here of all the places he could go?" Andrea asked.

"He wanted to stay close to his apartment to keep an eye on it." Melinda answered.

They all were quiet for a minute. They saw no reason to believe Melinda was lying. Everything seemed legit. After a few more hours of catching up, the girls went home. However, Andrea stayed behind.

"Alright. A good friend would not question you, but a great friend would get straight to the bottom." Andrea said as they cleaned up.

"The bottom of what?" Melinda asked, even though she knew.

"Seriously, Melinda? That whole apartment renovation story is just crap." Andrea said. "I'm your best friend. Don't you think I deserve to know?"

"Fine. Jim and I are together. Sam turned out to be a liar and a complete psychopath. Jim defended my honor and revealed that he liked me, well love me." Melinda summed up the situation.

"Wow, you're life must be so interesting." Andrea sat down on the couch after they finished cleaning up.

"Not entirely. I feel tons of guilt over the way I treated Jim the past six years and Sam is getting crazier by the minute." Melinda sighed.

"Okay, I have questions. First, what happened with Sam?" Andrea asked.

"He only went out with me to get the company and destroy it. He said that he wanted to destroy Jim and since I mean more than the company to Jim, Sam wants to take me instead." Melinda said.

"Whoa. What are you gonna do?" Andrea worried.

"I don't know. I'm scared out of my mind. But, we're gonna get through this. I don't know what he's planning, so I have to be extra careful now." Melinda said.

"Are you sure your safe?" Andrea asked.

"Yeah, Jim is like my bodyguard." Melinda smiled.

"Ooh, getting down with the bodyguard. Naughty." Andrea joked.

"Oh, yes." Melinda laughed.

"Well, as long as your protected, that's all that really matters." Andrea had concern written all over her face.

Melinda could tell how scared her friend was for her.

"Hey, I'll be okay." Melinda touched her hand.

"I know." Andrea smiled.
