So the last months have been good to me and Melody. We moved into a new house together a few weeks back despite the people around us saying we were moving too fast.

I came downstairs and saw Melody on her computer.

Beau - what you doing?

Melody - I have a huge order coming up so I'm trying to assign everybody different task through email. We're catering a wedding.

Beau - when we get married who's doing our wedding cake?

Melody - I don't want a wedding cake. I want apple pie and brownies.

Beau - are you for real right now?

Melody - yes. If you get a cake, I won't marry you.

Beau - why though?

Melody - I just don't want a wedding cake.

Beau - okay.

Melody - where you going?

Beau - I'm meeting up with an old friend. Her name is Jillian. She asked me to commission a portrait of her

Mel - okay

Beau - that's it?

Mel - what else do you want me to say?

Beau - I just thought because she's a woman , you would get mad.

Mel - I trust you Beau. 

She kissed me.

I left.

..............................................................

I took a break from the painting and sat down.

Beau - Jill who's the portrait for?

Jillian - Michael, my husband

She put her robe on.

Beau - you and Mike still together.

Jillian - yeah. What about you and Robyn?

Beau - no.

Jillian - but y'all have a child together correct?

Beau - yeah, a little girl. But I found the love of my life. She owns the bakery downtown.

Jillian - oh her. She's beautiful. I've been in there with Mike a few times. He tries to get her attention.

Beau - you trying to implying that he makes passes at her.

Jillian - yeah.  She doesn't  give in to it.  Mike always had wondering eyes you know

Beau - I don't know. I know one thing though, if he touch what's mine, I'm beating his ass.

Melody called me.

Beau - hey sweetheart

Melody - hi baby. I just put Ellie to bed and your food in the microwave.

Beau - thank you baby. Be up when I get back.

Melody - is that a demand sir?

Beau - it's a request.

Melody - I don't know if I want to wait up for you.

Beau - please

Melody - beg some more

Beau - I'll hang up on you right now.

Melody - I'll see you when you get home.

Beau - alright.
