barlissa abbott elementary ship novel

melissas pov

* i made this chapter because someone on twitter was talking about melissa and ava hooking up and how they want a fan fic of it so i decided to just add it to the book lol* it's monday , we ended up going to an lgbtq+ accepting church yesterday, and it was an amazing experience . i could tell it made barbara feel a million times better. anything that makes her happy, makes me happy.
now that we're back to school, ava , being the nosy person she is, comes up to me and barbara as we arrive. with janine and gregory already starting to finally slowly realize they have mutual feelings for each other, ava has, miraculously, hesitantly gave up her pursuit for gregory.
"why did you two drive in together? and melissa WHY is your hair so messy? "
barbara and i had a very enthusiastic make out session before getting ready for work, and decided to take my car together , even though it would probably draw up some suspicion .
i look over at barbara, because i don't know how much i can say.
"oh, my husband and i are just in a little tussle at the moment, so i'm at melissa's house for now; that's all."
ava looks us up and down; with her signature "i think i know what's really going on but i wont say it" look.
"okay, but melissa , please brush your hair."
she laughs , flips her hair, and walks away , lanyard obnoxiously clanking to her dress with the noise of the keys proudly attached.
just as school ends, barbara texts me telling me about her newest project: helping gregory with the garden , and how she'll be tending to that for the next hour or so. i say cool, i have lesson planning to do anyways.
ava comes into my class room, making herself gorgeously known .
"so, what's REALLY happening between you two?"
i pause , and hesitate to answer.
"ava .. i don't think i should be telling barbara's buisiness without her here."
"okay.. well.. " she walks around my desk , and starts twirling my hair tenderly around her finger.
"if you two don't got something fruity going on, why don't you get it going on with me?" she starts moving her hand to hold my face to hers , and in shock , i can only blink.
she smiles and leans into kiss me, and i can only start kissing her back, caught in the anticipation of the moment . she scoots my chair out just a bit away from my desk , and sits on my lap, holding her hands around my neck and kissing me with tongue. by the time we're about to get far more serious, i realize what we're actually doing.
i feel horrible , and take ava's hands off me. as much fun as she was , and as hot as she is, my one real true love is barbara, and i can't hurt her, even if that means telling ava the truth.
"im sorry, ava , i can't do this anymore. you want to know the truth? i'm bi , okay? and barb, well, i don't exactly know about her but yes, ava we have something going on. i was caught up in the stupid moment , and i hate myself for it. i've known barbara probably longer then you've even been alive, ava . i can't hurt her. and you can't tell anyone about this, or about me and barb, please barbara is going through enough. "
as guilty as i feel about this, i definitely feel like this was a test to see if i'm going to be able to stay with barb thorough all her ups and downs and divorce struggles. i'll pay more attention to myself from now on. and that, is a promise i intend to keep.
