04 The new Seth

Seth's POV

I stare in the shocked hazel eyes of Melody. What's she thinking? Please don't reject me!

"Seth right?" My gaze was broken from the beautiful black curly haired girl to meet her fathers suspicious glare.

"Y-yes Sir."

"Tell me son.. What brings you here on a school night?"

"I um." I swallow hard and nervously smooth down my pretend wrinkles on my shirt.

"I was hoping to take Melody out because I canceled on her yesterday. Just a I'm sorry gesture." My eyes lock back on hers. It was clear now that she hadn't stop staring at me for the past few minutes I was there.

"Let me get one thing straight with you young man. If you hurt my daughter again there will be consequences. Understand." I hear him crack his knuckles nonchalantly. Oh Jesus help me!

"Dad!" I finally hear her sweet voice say, this causes me to smirk at her.

"Only trying to protect my sweet little princess. If there is no trouble here then you can find me in the living area Mel. If you leave with him please let me know." He kisses her on her temple and walks away.

"Seth. How'd you know." She gestured towards the vibrant red roses still in my hand.

"Oh. This.. Lucky guess I suppose." With a slight hesitation Melody finally takes the flowers from my hand. She smiles down at them sheepishly.

"Thank you. I suppose I will join you, but there will be no funny business and don't think I'm not still completely mad at you." She scowls.

"Yes ma'am." I wink.

"Hey dad I'm leaving! Love you bye!" She calls after her father.

"Be home by 10." He responded back. I'm so glad all that was over, and I'm glad I finally have a chance to win Melody's trust back.

Melody's POV

I sit nervously in the passenger seat of Seth's truck. How did he get my address? And how'd he know that I liked boat rides and my favorite flowers were roses? That's kinda strange... I was so deep in thought I didn't hear Seth get in the truck until he spoke. His deep voice sent shivers down my spine.

"Are you alright?"

"Oh. Um yeah." What if he's planning on tricking me once we get to the boat? He's not serious. He never was...

"Hey. I'm not going to hurt you. I promise."

"Don't keep promises you've already broken." The words were out of my mouth before I could even stop them. Then I felt tension in the atmosphere of his truck. His voice fills the silence moments later.

"I'm sorry. Please.. Give me this last chance to prove to you that I'm not going to hurt you." He's joking right?

"Why me? You haven't noticed me through school but now you want to talk to me? Is it because there weren't any more cheerleaders left that would-"

"I've always noticed you Melody. I just thought you would never give me a chance."

His words sat in my mind for the rest of the car trip to the boat dock. 'I've always noticed you Melody.'

The smell of the salty sea water filled my nose letting me know we had arrived to our destination. I look over at Seth to see a big smile was plastered on his face.
