Sex Nights

Chapter 32

I walk into Dylan's house and sit in the kitchen eating an apple.
I hear Natalie come in and ask:
- Dylan, that's you?- I get up and say:
- No, it's just me.
- Hello sweetie, I didn't know you would be here today. I went shopping and since Dylan hasn't been home for days I used his card.
We laughed.
- What do you think of this melon colored dress? - she takes it out of the bag and shows it to me.
- I think it is beautiful and super short but beautiful.
- What a pity, because it is for you and you are going to use it.
- Natalie, thanks but it wasn't ...
- No problem. You look sad.
- What? No, I'm not sad.
- Melody, I think you should start going to class again, or at least you have something to distract. I don't want to look impolite, but how did you meet Dylan?
- It's a long story ... believe me, you won't want to be involved in our history.
The door opens and a boy walks up the stairs like Sonic.
I run up the stairs and ask:
- Where are you? You can only be making fun of me. You disappear to a friend's house, then you get home and you don't even say a word.
He closes the door and locks himself and I decide to take my suitcase and leave to go to the next class of the day.
I go into class and Miss Josie says:
- Hey Miss.... Melody. Welcome back sweetheart.
- Tanks miss.
I sit with my briefcase on my legs.
- So what did you think about having an opportunity to have chosen a book to tell his morale? Miss Melody do you want to start?
- Yeah of course, my book it's Selection by Kiera Cass...
- And what did you think of him?
- It's a powerful and feminist book, which I think is no better book to represent a woman's power, how important a woman is, what a woman can do or change.
- Thank you very much Melody. Who wants to be next? - Miss Josie asks.
I look to the side and see Dylan passing by and decide to leave the class with my things and follow him.
- Hey you... Dylan. Why are you avoiding me? - I scream.
He turns and I run to him to hug him.
- I'm not avoiding you, I'm just confused and lost.
He kisses my hair while I hug him against his chest.
I hold him until he says:
- You can't forgive me Melody, you hear me. It is not right to forgive me.
- Do you know what else is not right? Being away from each other. These are voices in our minds saying that we are not able to overcome everything together but we are stronger. I know that we are.
- I don't know Melody. I love you but that's why I can't hurt you.
- And then you will not go, you are very strong, probably the strongest boy I know and you will not give up on me or us because if you do, I might as well not live any longer.
He touches my lip with his cold finger so that I stop talking and then bends down to kiss me.
- Goodbye Melody...
