CHAPTER 10

🎧: Black Mascara - RAYE

MELODIE'S POV

We came back from our trip a few days later after Christmas. I was laying in my bed and haven't talked to anyone or went out since.

Ever since Jamal said all those words i didn't even have the energy to reply to anybody's texts or call anyone back. New Years was coming up and i had to think of a way to pick up all of the broke pieces.

I sighed and got up from my bed, walking into the bathroom and taking a hot shower. I washed my hair and when i got out i made sure to brush my teeth and put on some makeup to look less miserable.

I curled my hair after they weren't wet anymore and brushed out the curls. Then i walked out of the room and made my way to the wardrobe.

I picked out black leggings and a dark gray hoodie. I wore a pair of NewBalance's and pulled on a black beanie. Before going out of my house i grabbed my phone and the car keys.

After locking the doors and saying goodbye to my dogs i got in the car and started it i pulled out of the driveway and drove to the place where i should've showed up weeks ago. Jamal's house.

He lives in an apartment so getting there from my house didn't take me too long. After a couple of minutes i got to my destination and pulled into the parking lot.

I rethought my plan once again and took a deep breath before getting out of the car and walking to the building. Luckily someone was coming out so i quickly slipped inside.

I walked up the stairs as Jamal lived on the highest floor. When i found myself in front of the doors to his apartment i immediately reverted my decision.

I made up my mind. I chose Jamal. I didn't want Levi nor did i want Michael. I wanted him from the start and i was going to have him now or never.

I rang the bell and impatiently waited for him to open the door. Seconds that felt like hours passed by with no response. Finally he opened the door.

His face expression was confused and surprised, but kind of glad. He was happy to see me but couldn't quite figure out what i was doing here.

- Are you not cold in that? - He asked like nothing every had happened.

- Let me in and i won't be. - I replied strongly.

He sighed and opened the door further and then closing it behind me when i walked inside. The flat was bigger than i remembered it.

The walls were white and the hallway lead into the dining room. On the right there was a living room and to the left there was a kitchen.

The other doors led into a bathroom and his bedroom. I took a deep breath and swallowed the gulp in my throat before turning around to face him.

Without letting me say anything before he got closer and pulled me into a kiss by holding my face with his hands on both sides of my cheeks.

I was caught off guard for a couple of seconds but nearly instantly gave in. I must admit he was a great kisser, not too harsh and not too soft.

He slowly led me onto the couch which wasn't too far away from were we were standing beforehand. He placed his hand on my lower back and laid my down.
