Stubborn

ChapterFourteen

Melanie P.O.V

I woke up with a massive headache, so tired but I knew that I had to get up for work. I only work at Taco bell cause my other job stop giving me hours and what's the point of working ten hours a week. I got up and went to the bathroom with my towel and toothbrush, I brushed my teeth, fixed my crazy hair and got in the shower. After getting out I wrap the towel around my body and left the bathroom. Walking to the room I bump into something hard and I almost fell but was caught before I hit the ground. when I look up its Nate, he had his hand around my waist. Why is he here so early in the morning? I got up and straighten myself.
"What are you doing here?" I ask holding the towel tighter around me.
"My daughter lives here" he responded, I didn't realize that his hand was still around me till I heard someone cleared their throat and I turned around and saw Michelle. She looked angry, I don't think she comfortable with me and Nate talking, and I would have to address that later. But right now I had work so I went inside the room and started getting ready for work. After I was done I went outside and went to get a bottle water in the kitchen. Nevaeh, Nate, and Michelle Was sitting around the table and I felt heavy tension and holes through me so I hurried up and left without saying goodbye.

I decided to stop at Mc Donald for breakfast since I'm going to be working a Ten hour shift, even though I work at Taco Bell I don't really eat there. I got there and park and locked my doors. I would've gone through drive thru but I was in a hurry and that line was too long.
I went inside and was looking for my card, when I bump Into someone, I'm just bumping into everyone today I thought.
"Hey babygirl I thought I would never see you again" this guy said.
"Aiden right?" I ask not quite sure.
"Well you got my name right so that mean you were thinking of me" he winked at me.
"Whatever floats your boat" I say going around him.
" you don't have to lie babygirl" he said coming behind me.
" My name is Melanie not babygirl" I say rolling my eyes.
"Does anyone else call you babygirl?" He ask.
I shake my head no
"Then I'm sticking to it" he said.
It was finally my turn to order.
"Imma have a caramel Frappe, pancake and a biscuit please" I tell the cashier, she ring me up and told me the price. I quickly give the money cause I don't need him to pay for my meal again. I got my food and was about to leave but Aiden called me.
"Babygirl" he yelled, I ignored him.
"Melanie" I stopped and looked back.
"Can a brother get your digits?" He asked.
"No" I said turning on my heels
He got in front of me "give me one good reason why not" he said.
"I don't know maybe cause I don't know you, I've only seen you at a party which I didn't have a good experience at and twice at McDonald." I said going around, he started following me.
"Babygirl everyone was a stranger to you till you got to know them so that's not a good excuse" he said standing in front of the driver side once we got to my car.
"Can you move out my way?" I said staring at him
"No" he said
"Bruh you seriously doing this?" he just shrugged and started scrolling down on his phone.
I roll my eyes and took his phone and put my number in and save it as Mel, as I was going around him he stopped me" Can I get a hug?" I just decided not to fight it anymore and give him a quick hug but he pulled me back and wrapped his hand around my small waist and I automatically wrap my hand around his neck. We stayed that way for way too long " now that's how you give a hug" he said letting me go. I finally got in my car and was on my way to work.

After working a long painful shift I finally got home, I was happy nobody was home I had the place all to myself, I went straight to the shower. After doing my night routine I was on my bed scrolling through Instagram then my phone ring.
"Hello" I answer.
"Hey babygirl" knowing who it is i roll my eyes.
" sorry you got the wrong number nobody by that name here" I say hanging up the phone.
My phones rings again "hello" I say.
"Stop playing" he says.
" who's this" I ask
"You know who this is" he reply
"Sorry I have no clue" I say
"It's the man of your dreams" he says.
"Sorry i don't recall meeting anyone by that name" I say smirking.
"It's daddy" he says challenging me.
"Try again" I reply.
"Stop playing, you know you couldn't get me out that pretty head of yours" he said.
"If you say so" I say getting comfortable to go to sleep.
"Well I know so, anyway would you like to get lunch with me tomorrow" he said.
"I really shouldn't I'm not looking for anything" I say
"Chill I"m not asking you to marry me, I'm simply asking for lunch". He reply
"Fine just once and I'm paying for myself" I say warning him.
"Sure, I'll let you sleep, you sound really tired" He reply.
"Uhuh (yawn) mhmmm" I nod.
"Goodnight babygirl" he hanged up.

I wake up to an empty house, wondering where everyone was. I check Michelle's room and she's not there, neither is Nevaeh and I am confuse and worried. I decide to call Nate because he probably would know where they at.
"Hello?" Nate answer
"Hey, it's Melanie and last night I got home and no one was there and this morning it's still just me in the house" I tell him.
"Where's Michelle?" He ask.
"I'm calling to ask you, I thought you would know where they are" I say
" Nevaeh been with me since yesterday, I took her home to spend the weekend with me, I don't know about Michelle" he said.
"Okay thank God Nevaeh is fine, I was starting to worry" I tell him.
"She's fine don't worry.. so are u working today?" He ask.
"No I'm off why" I reply.
" Nevaeh misses you, so maybe we could all have lunch together?" He ask.
" aww tell her I miss her a lot, but today I actually have plan with someone so I won't be able to." I reply
"It's okay um we'll talk later?" He ask
" sure I gotta go get ready anyway bye" I hang up the phone and lay back down.
