The Other Side Part 2

6.

"Okay how am I going to get near Melanie she is scared of me and won't come near me for me to talk to her."

"So you were a werewolf! How tall were you? I bet you were like 10 feet and weighed like three hundred pounds!"

"Phil focus!"

"Well how did you first talk with her."

"Me and you followed her around the city, we dressed stupid so no one knew us. I remember it so perfect. She wore this yellow tank top with shorts that were ripped up at the ends and white convers. Her hair was down in its natural wave and her eyes, man her eyes."

"Wow you really loved her."

"Of course I did I imprinted on her. She was everything to me and so were our kids." I looked down trying to hold back the tears.

"It's okay B we are going to make her fall in love with you again."

"I hope so it took me almost a year for her to love me last time, this will be a miracle to do this in two weeks."

"Well we are going to fit that year in these two weeks. Only the good parts of course."

"Okay anything for my family."

Later that day
"Okay B stay calm and just like we practiced."

I shook my head as we waited at the zoo we were in the middle of the court yard, wore different clothes and I was nervous.

"Oh here she comes!" Phil saying that made my heart drop. She walked towards us going into the rehabilitation center she had a huge smile and was saying hi to every employee. She walked past us and Phil gave me a nod. Phil walked up to her getting her attention.

"Excuse me ma'am."

"Yes sir, how can I help you?"

"I was wondering would you mind helping me with my kids I know it's not your job but my wife needed a break and I wanted to bring them here for some fun."

"Oh no problem sir I would be glad to help I love children."

"Great thank you so much!" they walked towards the play area where Phil's kids were playing.

"Which ones are yours?" Phil pointed them out as he called their names. They ran to him and Melanie got down on her knees to get a better look of them. "This is Zadeh, Zaima, and Zahlia."

"Wow what amazing names that's very unique!"

"Their mother is always wanting something different."

"You only have these three?"

"Oh no I have one more and their uncle has him, oh right there!" Phil pointed to me that was my signal to go towards him. I had my head down as I pushed the stroller to him. Phil opened the stroller showing Melanie the baby. "And last but not least the newest addition to the family, Zeppelin."

"Oh my goodness he is adorable they all look so much like you! May I?" she motioned to Zeppelin to hold him.

"Oh yes go ahead." Melanie reached in grabbing him and held him in her arms.

"Oh man I can't wait to have children of my own one day."

"Really I think you would be a great mother." Phil punched my shoulder to make me say something but words wouldn't come out.

"I would love to have boys. Girls are so hard to care for but if I do I would name her-"

"Talia." Melanie quickly looked up to me and I slowly took off my glasses scared to see her reaction.

"Oh no not you again. Im sorry but I have to go." Melanie carefully placed Zepp in his stroller and walked away.

"Please don't go! Can we please just talk."

"No you are stalking me that's why you know so much about me I knew I should have got a restraining order against you."

"Please just hear me out." I touched her hand and she froze. "Just give me five minutes." She looked down at my hand and back at me, looking into my eyes.

"Five minutes."

We quickly went to the same picnic area where we were the first time we met. Phil sat with us and the kids were playing in the field.

"They are very beautiful children."

"Thank you, my name is Phil by the way." he said extending his arm to her.

"I'm Melanie."

"Beautiful name but I'll give you guys some privacy I will go and play." Phil got up and ran with the kids leaving the stroller by us.

"I'm Bruno by the way but you can call me Peter, you loved calling me that."

"I know who you are grenade guy," Yep there it was. "How do you know me but I don't know you that well?"

"It's a lot to explain but I just want to use this time to meet you again, I know fighting your fiancé in the front yard wasn't the best way to meet you. Maybe we can have dinner tonight?"

"I'm sorry but I can't, like you said I have a fiancé he wouldn't like this at all."

"Oh please I don't mean any harm I just really want to get to know you more, you can just say this is you deciding if you really do want to file those papers for a restraining order. What do you say?"

"I don't know."

"Come onnnn. Okay so you get off at four and I'll pick you up at five, I'll take you back home at eight not a minute late. I promise."

"How did you know I get off at four?"

"Well-" Zappe began crying cutting me off thankfully, I quickly got up to grab him and rock him but he continued to cry.

"Here move your hand more to the left under his head."

"Like this?" I said trying to follow what she said.

"No like this." she placed her hand on mine moving it and Zapp soon stopped crying. Her hand was still touching mine. I wrapped my finger around hers and looked up at her. We both got lost in each other eyes.

"Y-you have such amazing eyes, you know that Mel." she smiled not looking away from me still.

"Thank you, I've never seen brown eyes like yours." I smiled still looking in her eyes now feeling ourselves coming closer.

"Uncle Bruno!" Ziama said jumping right in front of my face making us laugh.

"What sweetie?"

"Come play with us!"

"Okay let me put Zappe back in the stroller." I got up and didn't see Melanie on the bench. I turned around and she was walking away. "Wait Mel!" She turned around and smiled at me. "So tonight?"

"Don't be late Peter." she turned around and walked back in the zoo. I placed Zappe down and began jumping up and down.

"She said yes?" Phil said running to me.

"Yes man! Thank you so much! Dance party!" we all started dancing around making the kids laugh and then we looked around seeing everyone look at us. "Okay let's go."

Phil laughed and grabbed the kids and we left but I just walked with a skip in my step because I just couldn't wait for tonight. I'm going to make her fall in love with me again.
