If you asked the people around her they would all describe Mel in the same way : happy, funny, helpful, selfless, smart and so much more, so would Walker Scobell.
What could possibly go wrong with a girl whos THAT perfect, right ?
"So who was that guy who dropped you off ?" I grinned placing the glasses down on the table and sitting down beside him on the couch
"Oh that ? Just my secret boyfriend"
"Oh"
"Yeah" I shrugged leaning against the back
"So like, for real who was he ?"
"Is someone jealous ?"
"Me ? Pft no ?.... You two looked pretty close"
"That was Flynn"
"Like the guy from tangled ?"
"Yeah, it's Destinys brother"
"Did you two ever have like... something going on...?" I grinned to myself enjoying the slight jealousy from him
"No, I technically never had something going on with anyone before you"
"Wait so I'm technically your first boyfriend ?" He grinned at me while I just raised my eyebrows
"Well you're technically not my boyfriend ?" It didn't wipe away that smug grin on his face though, instead it grew even more as he turned completely towards me
"Mel"
"Walker"
"Would you like to do me the honours of me being your boyfriend ?" The widest smile grew on my face at his words and I just kissed him again "well technically that wasn't a real answer" he muttered against my lips making me pull away just a few inches and look at him
"Yes dumbass of course I would love to be your girlfriend"
"Oh good I was really worried for a second" I grinned laying my forehead on his shoulder and letting out a sigh, I felt one of his hands on my back and felt it move up and down slowly
"I really thought I lost you" I whispered quietly into the quiet room filled by only our breathing
"You're not getting rid of me that easily Raven" I sat back crossing my legs and looking at Walker
"Do you ever think about what would've happened if you had chosen any other cafe that day ? Or if I hadn't agreed to take over the shift ?" He brushed a piece of hair behind my hair with that sweet smile on his lips
"We still would've found each other and I would've fallen for you exactly the same" I felt my heart grow warm at his words, Walker was the one who would always pull a joke wherever he got the opportunity but he was such a sweet person. What guy would've possibly had an answer that beautiful to that question ?
"You believe in fate and all that ?"
"Yeah, I think everything happens for a reason don't you ?" I thought about it for a second
"I do"
"You're so beautiful" I felt my cheeks grow warm at his random whispered comment
"Mel are you home ? I thought you weren't gonna be here till-..." I turned my head to the door where Cassie stood with wide eyes looking at Walker
"Cass"
"What is- why- what ?" I looked at Walker who was looking at me and then back to Cassie
"Come sit down Cass" she didn't pull her eyes from Walker as she slowly moved towards me and sit down on the couch "you can't tell anyone about this Cassie okay ?"
"What ? Why ?"
"Because we just don't want to do that yet"
"Wait how long has this been going on for ?"
"March" Walker answered without a second of hesitation
"Do you promise me you won't tell ? Not even your girls ?"
"I promise" I smiled and nodded "wait so why are you back so early ? You said it would be past midnight"
"I didn't feel well"
"Ah, so Walker what's Belle like ?"
"Cassie" I said at her not even paying any attention to me but turning to Walker to my boyfriend, Walker
"She's really annoying I don't understand why everyone likes her so much" I turned to Walker raising my eyebrows at him
"You're such a hater" I turned back to Cassie who seemed to have just grown comfortable enough with Walker within these past two minutes
"I'm not a hater I'm a realist"
"Sure buddy"
"She reminds me of you" Walker said looking at me now
"Well duh, she's my mini me I formed her personality. Anyways you two keep talking I'm gonna put on some comfortable clothes" I stood up and walked out to go upstairs into my room
I reached for my phone to freak out to Destiny about this and just there realised that my phone was very much still in her purse, so my freaking out had to wait another day
I put on more comfortable clothes and went back downstairs where Walker and Cassie were still talking about whatever
I sat down between the two of them again and listened in to what they were talking about, I took Cassies phone and opened Destiny's chat to let her know that I had in fact survived and just didn't have my phone with me

I gave her her phone back and enjoyed the peace of sitting there joking with my sister and my boyfriend
"I have to go, Leenas here" he stood up from the couch and high fived Cassie while I got up too to walk him out
"Does Leena know ?"
"Kinda, I haven't told her but I think she did get the idea when I begged her to drive me here at 9pm. But she won't tell, she's the first who knew about Aryan and Belle too and it never slipped" I nodded as we walked to the door
I stood on my tiptoes and wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him into a hug feeling his arms around my waist
I didn't know what to say but neither did I feel the need to say anything, he was quiet too and we stood there in the hug until he got another message
"I should go before she chooses to not drive me here again"
"Okay"
