Melody's POV

I was stuck with Ms.Hathaway for the rest of the afternoon until Michael came back to save me, and let me tell you, it was a pain in the butt just to hear her babble about her glory days and how I should dress up. According to her I have a really nasty taste for style, but I don't give two shits about her opinion. I roll my eyes as she continues talking.

"-so you should really reconsider what you'll wear for tonight, it wouldn't surprise me if you came in rags dressed like a trash can." She keeps on talking, Wait WHAT!!! Did she just called me TRASH?!!!! WTF? aca-scuse me?!!! I turn to look at her, we were sitting in the porch having a chat or what my father likes to call it, 'Bonding Time', huh if only he knew.

"Escuse me, did you just called me a Trash Can?" I ask her with my mouth hanging wide open in shock.

"Um, yeah? Look Melody you've got to admit your wardrobe is TRASH. Its disgusting you don't have the latest fashion, even though you can afford it" she says with envy, "and you just use old rags that was even used by your mum" she says disgusted at me.

"You know what? I am greatly offended. Those rags are the only thing I have to remind me of my mother!! Including this necklace!!" I say pointing at the piece of jewelry hanging from my neck. I just want to punch her in her fucking fake face!

"Girls, Girls! Calm down, whats happening here? I thought you were both getting to know each other better?!" Father says as he barges through the door. I didn't think we were doing that much racket.

"Sorry father, we were just discussing some issues" I give a death glare to The Witch, she smirks at me.

"Well excuse me I have to get ready for the party" She tells my father, as she makes her way out.

"What just happened?" My father asks.

"Nothing important father, I should get ready for the party too" I say as I dismiss myself.

•••••Later that night•••••

"OMG Melody you didn't tell me you invited those hunks!!! I'm gonna die from all their hotness!!" Brooke exclaims as she fans herself.

She is such a fangirl!! But I love her, she's my best friend.

"What are you talking about? " I ask

"you haven't seen them?" She asks with disbelief.

"No" I say

"Oh Girl!! I gotta show ya!" She exclaims as she pulls me away from the stairs, where I was just chillin' with my champagne.

We were now in the garden behind a bush, peeking out to see them like the stalkers we are.

"There they are!" She whispers at me, "Aren't they hot!" She says a little too loudly and I try to cover her mouth but it's too late they heard us! SHIT!

"Who's there?" The blond guy asks, his accent sounds different.

"Shh don't say anything let's just keep quiet, this is already embarrassing enough" I tell her, I keep my hand on her mouth, she then licks me.

"Ewww! Brooke!" I say, as I forget everything I just told her. So much for keeping quiet.

"Aha! There they are!" The curly hair guy exclaims at his friend as he stands in front of me.

"Hi" I say, Brooke blushes next to me.

"Hi, are you the girls who said that we were hot?" Curly hair smirks at us.

"Um...well...Um...No" I say. God this is so embarrassing!

"Yeah that's us!" Brooke says with a wide smile on her face as she flips her hair. She's in her flirting mode now and nothing can stop her.

"Okay yeah, that was us " I mutter embarrassingly.

"Here let me help you ladies up" the blond says as he winks at me. I then take his hand, I immediately feel electricity with just his simple touch! I look at him with wide eyes, am I the only one who felt that? OMG! He's so warm and hot! He stretches his arm to pull me up and damn I can feel his muscles around me. What is this feeling, butterflies? It can't be!

I smile at him, "Thank you" I say.

"Your welcome" he tells me, his dimples showing as his blue eyes glisten in the night sky. Damn! This boy is hot af! I wonder what his name is? My subconscious tells me to get on with it and stop wasting my time, I have a boyfriend she reminds me. Oh but I've been waiting for this moment my whole life! For my prince Charming to finally come, and I gotta tell ya he's hella fine! Is there even a word to describe him?

"Hello earth to Melody!!" Brooke waves a hand at my face.

"huh?" I say.

"You were daydreaming again" she tells me with a smirk, she looks like she's trying to hold her laugh.

I blush, "Oh sorry" I say. OMG! How many times am I going to embarrass myself in front of these hotties?!

"Its alright" Blond says with amusement in his face, clearly I was in a longer trance than I expected for him to be looking at me like that.

"OMG, Melody we've got to get you inside, your dad will be looking for you any second now, remember you've got to be there for his big speech" Brooke tells me. Shit I forgot about that!

"Oh yeah" I say, "Sorry guys we gotta go" I tell the cuties, they look at us with disappointment. Then I think of an idea, "how about if you lads join us for my dad's speech?" I ask them.

They nod in agreement, "Yeah that would be nice, since we want to get to know you girls better." Curly hair says.

"Besides that we didn't properly introduce ourselves, you must think we're terrible guys or worse jerks!" Hot Blond says with a horrified look.

"It's ok we'll have time for introductions later, now C'mon we're going to be late!" Brooke exclaims as she drags us back into the house.

"Melody! There you are dear, your father is already giving his speech and Michael has been looking for you. They're both by the staircase" Glenda tells me once I enter the house. Shoot! What am I gonna do about Michael! I almost forgot about him. Think Melody think!!

"Oh ok, thanks Glenda" I say. Ok here's the plan, don't let Michael and Hot Blond close to each other, my inner goddess nods in agreement. 

I make my way towards the stairs then turn to Brooke, "Hey can u guys wait for me in the crowd, I have to be in front with my father" I say, she nods at me and gets my hint, then takes them cuties away. Phew that was close! 

"Melody! Come over here" Michael says, "Where were you? I've been looking for you!" He says in a hushed tone while grabbing me by my wrists.

"Oh I was just outside getting some air, did I miss anything?" Hey a little white lie never hurt anybody. Right?

"No you didn't miss much except your father's long speech" he says.

"That's typical" I say as I roll my eyes, my father usually gets emotional during speeches, which makes them longer and difficult to understand, its just his thing.

We head over to the top of the stairs where I stand next to my father as he finally finishes his speech.

"-and now for a special announcement, Michael here has something to say" Father says.

Wait, what?! This was never planned. My father never mentioned a 'SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT' to me. I look at Michael expectantly, he looks at me from the corner of his eye, not giving me his full attention. I can tell he's pretty nervous, I've never seen him this nervous before. What is going on?

"Mikey? Are you alright?" I ask, he just nods at me.

"Michael its all yours" Father says, signaling the crowd.

Michael then steps forward and drags me next to him. Then all of a sudden he drops down on one knee in front of me and pulls out a ring.

"Melody will you marry me?" he asks in front of everyone. I then hear gasping and Aww's from the crowd, and I'm frozen.  Michael keeps staring at me with a nervous smile expecting an answer. I feel so numb, I don't know what to do. This can't be happening to me!
