In Her Shoes

Twin Tragedy - We 3

Hello everyone, thanks to all the beautiful people out there who have voted for my stories. Special thanks to Coffeeing for she was the first person who voted for all my stories before that I felt no one was reading my work. I really appreciate your votes and comments, please press the little star at the end of the story  if you like it.
This story is little different from all the other stories I have written so far. This will be in three parts( tentatively).  The first installment is here, you might notice the difference in format as well as the style of writing. The first part is a man's POV but make no mistake this is a woman's story  through a man's eyes. If I get a good response on this one I will explore the story further in a different story book so please mention if you would like it.

Dan's POV

"Hi! Morning " Mel wished me brighter and chirpier than her normal self as she walked up to me. She was wearing a marigold yellow spaghetti strap sun dress which ended just above her knees and showed her curves perfectly. I, on the other hand, was wearing my black vest and green khakhis, with grease smeared on my face and hands,generously.

I leaned on my mini cooper behind me and wished her back with a smile on my face. I am sure I was not able to hide the mischief in my eyes but she didn't detect anything. She put her arms around my neck as she leaned over and said with a smile on her pretty face " So, You remember our date tonight right? You are coming with me to meet my mom."

"Oh! about that..." I brought my hand on mouth and gently tapped my lips with my fingers  as if thinking. She frowned and then I said " I could do that if I get a kiss right now?" I gently rubbed my index finger over my mouth.

The corners of her mouth twitched as she brought her face near mine.

"Dan, what are you doing?" Rob shouted sliding out from under the car.

"Dan?" Mel shouted, looking scandalised as realisation hit her that I was not her boyfriend Rob but his twin Dan.

"Oh! Don't blame me, if your girlfriend here was just too eager to kiss me.I am hot and all that. What could the poor girl do?" I said grinning from ear to ear.

" Just Shut up okay. You should have told her, you are Dan. Tricking her isn't in the best of your interest." Rob warned me. I guess he didn't get the joke.

"This isn't the first time Rob." Mel said in between her little fake sobs.

"What?" Both I and Rob shouted in surprise.

"I mean this isn't the first time he has tricked me. He did kiss me once pretending to be you." Mel said to Rob.

Then it all happened too soon. Rob's fist connected with my cheeks and I was down on the ground. When I looked up Rob and Mel were walking away from me. Rob's hand was on her petite waist. She looked back and winked at me.

Silly little girl she thinks she has got her revenge but she doesn't know......yeah...may be she has, now I'll have to fix the car myself. I got back to work.

I didn't see Rob for the rest of the noon. I was busy fixing the car and he must be busy "fixing it" with Mel. I met him in the garden later in the evening.

" Hey Rob! Sorry man, I didn't mean to hurt you." I apologised. Although I didn't regret the prank I didn't like watching him sitting there in deep thought all alone. I didn't want him  upset.

"It's ok and I meant to hurt you when I hit you. I hope you got your lesson." Rob said to me. His face was still very stern. Few moments passed, when he didn't speak again I sat on the chair next to him and asked him "Care to share, what's on your mind?"
