Save Me

Melvin's POV

I was up early cleaning my house from the mess that was left behind. I shook my head laughing as I picked up a thong throwing it away.

This was my senior year and I was majoring in robotics. It was something about a challenge I enjoyed. I was 20 and on my shit, I still visit my pops and grandma every now again back in Virginia when I get the chance.

It had a lot of baddies in the party last night but I was really checking for Adrian. She was thicker than a sneaker and in all the right places.

Her shy personality only made me dig her more.

Adrian's POV.

I was clocked in for work going to my station. I worked at footlocker here in the mall. It paid damn good, you get paid based on how much you sell. I was a shy girl but when I'm at work it's a different thing. Although half of my check was going towards Brandon's drinking habit I was happy having my little change.

Give me three more pay checks and I'll have an apartment hopefully.

"You gotta 8 in these?" Jada strolled in not wanting nothing at all, just picking up shit. "Give me this!" I laughed taking the shoe from her sitting it back on the shelf.

"I'm sorry about last night, for getting drunk." "Honestly I overreacted last night, I apologize." I admitted pulling her into a hug.

"I got invited to Waffle house tonight." She stuck her tongue out laughing. "By who?"

"Devin, Melvin's friend." She winked trying to drop double date hints."Well have fun." I fake smiled restocking the Adidas hoodies.

"It ain't even like that, I just want you there for me." She poked her lip out resting her head on my arm. I shook my head, "fine, I'll go!" She jumped up and down cheering.

"Girl bye, I have customers." I shewed her away going to attend to business.

Melvin's POV.

I was laid out on the couch watching Bates Motel when my phone rung. I paused my show knowing if I missed an ounce I'll be confused as fuck.

"Speak." I propped my feet up on the stool. "Aye you tryna go out tonight?" Devin was on my line too early thinking about pussy.

"Man I ain't tryna be no damn wing man, take a hit for the team my ass bro." I sat up walking to the kitchen for a bottle of water. "Both bad as hell, she told me her friend name was Adrian."

As soon as he said that I almost choked on the water. "You good bro?" He laughed through the phone. "Yeah man I'll see you tonight." I ended the call getting bubbly on the inside.

I knew this was the perfect opportunity to make my move.

Adrian's POV.

I was on break and tired, I sat in the food court eating pizza. I was excited for tonight but also scared. I wasn't use to dates or the sweet talk, Melvin made me feel happy. It's crazy to say that due to me not even knowing him for three days.

I didn't want Brandon anymore, I didn't want any one for that matter. The damage he did to my body I'd be surprise if anyone wanted me. I knew moving wouldn't be that easy but I had to try.

I stood up heading back to the store once my break was over. I walked in looking at Melvin's tall ass making me blush.

"Sup princess." He licked his pink lips smiling. I felt my heart melting, "what are you doing here?" I asked kind of creeper out.

"Just getting a new shoe for tonight." He smiled looking up at some Pumas. "Oh yeah." I blushed looking down to hide my red face.

"Pick your head up girl." He laughed reaching for the shoe. "I need a size 12." He handed me the all black shoe as I walked over behind the counter.
