My Melody

Chapter 17

"What's up?" I asked.

"Don't hate me for asking,but is there something going on with you and David?" I  looked at her like she was crazy,and then I found myself laughing hysterically there after.

"David? Like David,Our David? No sweetie I don't have anything going on with him. David has alway been and will always be a friend. We talked a few times catching up,and he got me a job at his fathers restaurant. What? Are you starting to like him again?"

Why would she even ask me this?

"I never stopped,but I don't know how he feels." She sits on the island.

"Well I can definitely tell you acting all stank,and rude isn't helping the situation. Did something happen between you two that your not telling me?" Nicki looks at me when I ask her that.

"Maybe.." I look at her this time.

"Listen Nicki either your gonna tell me or your not. It's late and we're supposedly going parasailing early tomorrow morning sooo." I say giving her a quizzical look.

"Okay,okay umm David and I hooked up this past Christmas. It was so much better than the first time. Even better than with Chris. Now that I can compare." She smiles sheepishly.

Nobody asked about that...
I give her a look to continue.

"But I don't know I umm. I guess I got scared,and I pushed him away,"

"But?"

"But you know me Melly. I can sometimes be a bit stubborn." She  looked at me puckering her lips.

"Sometimes? Uh who didn't talk to me because they thought I wanted their maybe man,and your parents gave a compliment to? And I actually didn't do anything to her?" I say clasping my fingers leaning back on the counter.

"I know Melly,and for that I'm truly sorry." She said sounding sincere.

"I know you are. I just wish you'd stop jumping to conclusions and talk to people. So do you want to have a relationship with David?"

"Yeah,I do?" She says as she looks at me.

"Then stop playing with him,and when we get home tell him how you really feel."

"But what if he doesn't want to be with me?" Nicki says looking sad.

"The worst he could say is no,but it's up to you if your gonna take no for an answer. If you are then we'll call him names and punch stuff." I said. Nicki  chuckles a bit.

"And if he says yes then your in a relationship with someone you really like. Don't let what Chris did to you dictate your love life chica. It's his loss not yours,"

"Thank you Melly. I'm gonna go for it. Now about your love life." I just looked at her like she was stupid.

"That's nonexistent at this moment in time,and don't worry about it." Nicki hops off the counter and hugs my shoulder. "Don't say that. That Marcos guy is into you. We all saw it. He just seemed preoccupied." Nicki expresses as we make our way to her room.

She noticed it too..

We talked for about another hour or so,and I ended up falling asleep on her couch.

It was around 2 AM when I woke up with a crick in my back. The moon was shining so brightly that I could see in the darkened room. As I made my way out I looked back to see Nicki was halfway off the bed snoring. So I pushed her to the center and covered her with the blanket. "Thanks girl" is what I think she mumbled. Walking down the hall I hear a thump sound coming from Aubree's room. Since it's so early in the morning I figured she bumped her toe going to the bathroom or something. I didn't think anything of it so I continue to my bedroom trying to get some more rest before the day actually starts.
