The Young & The Mindless Dos!

Chapter 19: upDate

Andrew's P-O-V

I rolled out of bed and shuffled to the bathroom. Once I was done with my morning routine, I checked my phone. More missed calls from Gabby, a missed call from Leslie and Melody, and one missed call from Malkia.

I called Melody back.

"Hey," I said as she picked up.

"Oh. Morning Andrew..." I heard her yawning through the phone, "So, what's up?"

"Did I wake you up?"

"Oh. No. It's cool."

"Alright, well, I was just calling because saw that you called so..."

"Oh. Yeah. Last night, Leslie and I wanted to do a three-way with you. But, you didn't pick up."

"Oh. My bad. As soon as I got home, I watched Fresh Prince and fell asleep."

She laughed then said, "Well, you missed a lot."

"I had a feeling I did. What did I miss?"

"Travis and I are over."

"No way."

"It's true."

"I never thought this day would come. How did it happen?"

She explained it all. The arguments, the fist fights, and the part on how Prodigy comforted her. I'm going to be completely honest. I still love Melody. No way is it possible that I can ever get over her. So hearing that Prodigy stuff sort of made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be there for her at a moment like that. I wanted to hold her and whisper to her that it would all be okay. That her 'Prince Charming' will soon come. Then before long, have her realize that I was that 'Prince Charming' who had been right under her nose the whole time. I mean, Prodigy's a cool dude and all, but I still want Melody.

"Yeah, and you know what happened to Leslie, right?"

"You mean with Malkia and Roc?"

"Yeah."

"Oh. I heard and know everything. Don't worry about that."

"Okay, but Leslie said she's going to go talk to Roc today."

"That's cool."

"Yup, but I guess your updated."

"Yeah."

"But, um, I'm going to go now. I'll talk to you later."

"Alright, cool. Bye."

"Bye."

We hung up. I didn't feel like calling anyone else, so I decided to just watch some YouTube videos with my phone. Right in the middle of a Kain Carter video, I got a call from Gabby. I ignored it then went back to watching him. Then I noticed she left a voicemail. I decided to check it.

"Andrew... Why aren't you picking up your phone? I mean, yeah, I know what happened was unexpected, but that doesn't change the fact that we still have feelings for each other. I think we need to talk. Just please call me back when you get this message."

I sat down and thought about the message. I did still like her. Her carefree attitude was attractive. The way she was able to wear anything and still look beautiful was amazing too. But I just don't feel right talking to her anymore.

I turned off my phone and decided to get out of the house. I walked out of the door and over too Malkia's house.

"Andrew? What are you doing here?" She asked.

I grabbed her hand, "Come take a walk with me."

"Um, okay."

We walked to the park and sat down on a bench. The playground had kids running around and guys were playing basketball on the court.

"So is this what you consider a second first date?" I heard her say.

I laughed, "Nah. I consider this spending time with someone I want to know better."

She smiled and giggled, with her head down. Gabby used to do that all the time. I shook the thoughts of my summer fling out of my head then turned to look at my present romance. I studied her beauty taking note of her perfection. She had on no make-up. But I saw how uncomfortable she looked.

I took her hand and kissed it, "Just be yourself. You're beautiful."

She looked at me and smiled, "Thanks."
