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 ?
"You still haven't figured out who these flowers are from ?" I turned to Cole who just entered the kitchen with new flowers in his hands "isn't it like expensive to send flowers out every single day ?" He placed them on the counter and leaned his back against it eyeing me carefully while I was quiet"forgot how to speak or what ?" I looked into the sink, my hands resting on each side of it while I slightly leaned into it
"I think they're from my dad" I kept my gaze on the sink for a few more seconds before turning to him
"What ?" He had that serious expression that you rarely saw on Cole on his face
"I mean- I don't know if- I'm- I just- it-" I sighed shaking my head a little "I know it sounds insane and it probably is and it's probably also impossible. ...It is impossible"
"But...?"
"But I've been thinking about this for weeks and I can't think of anyone else this could come from" Cole clenched his jaw not immediately answering me
"Mel your father-"
"Is in prison. For multiple more years, I know. I also think that it can't be but do you see those flowers ? They're camellias, he was the only person to ever call me camellia and in every bouquet there's a note, saying that he's coming closer and he's missing me and in every note he calls me camellia"
"Shit"
"Yeah"
"Fuck"
"Yeah" I looked at him processing my words, I hadn't allowed myself to believe it yet either but now that I had spoken the words aloud I knew that it had to be him, I didn't know how he did it but it definitely had to be him
"Who knows about this ?"
"You" I closed my eyes and sighed quietly "and me I guess"
"If that is true... then we're screwed"
"Yeah" I said again, not many more words coming into my brain at the moment "you can't tell anyone Cole, I'm not even sure if it's actually him and I don't want to worry people because of something that could maybe be true" he ran a hand through his hair
"How do you always end up in these kind of situations"
"If only I knew man"
"Can't tell Des ?"
"No..." he nodded
"Cool, cool, cool" i looked at my phone hearing it buzz quietly in the counter
Walki <3 So are you coming here on Sunday ? My parents aren't here don't worry Only new person would be Tanner And you kinda know him already From the bakery
I smiled at my phone seeing his messages get delivered one after the other instead of in one big message
"So what are we doing today ?" I looked back up at Cole with a smile on my face seeing him just frown
"We ?"
"Yeah, you know the word ? You, me oui oui" I grinned giggling a little to myself because I'm hilarious
"Well I'm going to hang out with my girlfriend" I groaned throwing my head back in annoyance
"Don't do that to me I just told you that I think my dads getting in contact with me you need to distract me"
"Sorry, I'm really not sorry"
"You're an asshole. What am I ? Second place or what ?"
"You're like maybe top 10 but that's really pushing it" I let a little water run into my hand and threw it at him
"You're neglecting me"
"So what have you been doing since you got a boyfriend ?"
"Uh, not neglecting you ?"
"Uh huh"
"You always were either gaming with you boys or had football training dude there was no neglecting in that"
"Well go do some girly stuff with Destiny then I don't care"
"But I want to hang out with you"
"Destiny is busy isn't she ?" I stayed quiet rolling my eyes at his accusation "I'm sure Nia wouldn't mind if you tagged along I guess"
"Yay I'll go get ready when are we leaving ?" I clapped happily with a smile on my face
"If you are annoying I will leave you behind to fend for yourself"
"Wow mean much"
"Mean ?! I'm letting you tag along on my date dude ?"
"Whatever" I went upstairs into my room to choose something to wear, in decided in a black top with white dots all over it and white linen pants since it was really warm outside
The evening was really fun, I met Nia and despite her being like literally perfect she was so nice. I never talked to her but I've kind of been told my whole life that the popular kids are mean to the quiet not so popular kids, I should've known better than to assume knowing that both of my best friends are like that but oh well
She was really nice to me and made sure that I didn't feel like I was just tagging along at all, including me into everything to the point where it more looked like Cole was the one just tagging along
I wasn't sure what I expected from Nia but I know she exceeded all of them and I didn't know how Cole managed to get a girl as perfect as her but I knew that I couldn't wait for her to be around for our hang outs more often
