The Bad Girl and The Good Boy

Chapter Eighteen: Eat like a King

Melissa's P.O.V

So...I'm officially screwed. Jordan and I kissed, we got interrupted because his mom stormed into the office to see his baby boy. Needless to say, she was not pleased to see her own son, kissing a slut.

Right now, I am currently sitting in Fred's Diner with my mom, Jordan and his mom. We're all silent. My mom seemed to get over the video Vanessa posted and she was throwing winks at me. Jordan kept playing with my hand because he was nervous. Honestly, it's pretty nerve wracking if your crush's mom is staring at you.

Katherine's been staring at me for a while and our waitress had to come back a few times to get our orders. Well, she never got a chance.

"Uhm..ahem..Kath, should we order now?" My mom asked. Katherine continued to stare at me. But that wasn't the thing that set me off.

"Sure." Katherine said, but she never broke her gaze from me. The waitress returned and my mom recited her order. I was starving to be honest.

"I'll get, the double stacked burger, a Coke, large fries, a salad...chicken nuggets and...ooh, the egg and mayo sandwiches." I said. I grinned at the waitress as she wrinkled her nose in distaste. She turned to Katherine who then recited her order. This time, her gaze was set in the waitress to adjusted her to shirt to show some cleavage. She turned to Jordan and sent him a flirty smile.

"And what can I get you?" She said in a sweet tone. I immediately shuffled closer to Jordan to show he 'belonged' to me, even though he didn't. She sent me a glare and hitched her skirt up a little to show more of her non-existing thigh gap. I glowered at the girl as Jordan continued to play with my hand under the table. I read her name tag. Isabella.

"I'll get what Melissa got." Jordan said, pointing to me. Isabella huffed and her shoulders slumped. Hah! I grinned to myself as she sauntered away. She went behind the counter and into the kitchen. I could distinctively hear a male voice yelled at her.

"Isabella! What did I say about attempting to seduce customers! Wear your uniform properly!"

Jordan and I sniggered as we listened. I looked at Katherine and she had a small amused smile on her face.

"Melissa. Please tell me you haven't uhm..slept with anyone this past week." My mom asked.

"I haven't. I've been clean all week." I said. "I want to change mom. I don't wanna be the rebellious Melissa anymore. I want to be the Melissa I was when I was a little kid. Fun, joyous and healthy." My mom smiled.

"There's the Melissa I know." She said. I smiled and Jordan held my hand. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't as red as a tomato. Dammit. I've turned into a gushy girl who gets super nervous around her crush.

"This is going to be her first meal in a long time." Jordan said. He turned to me and sent me a proud smile. I grinned in return.

"I'm so proud you're getting over your Anorexia." My mom said. My stomach twisted uncomfortably at the word 'Anorexia'. I didn't want anyone to mention that word again.

Jordan seemed to notice my sudden change of mood because he squeezed my hand reassuringly. I smiled at him.

"You can eat like a king and I wouldn't care. Don't let other people get in the way of your happiness." Jordan said. My mom nodded enthusiastically. I chuckled.

"Thanks." I said. Twenty minutes later, our food arrived and I began to eat my burger, sipping on my Coke once in a while.

"Wanna have a competition?" I asked, my mouth full of food. Jordan nodded.
