Finding You(on hold)

Happy Birthday! Part 1

Hey I know this is a short chapter but its only because its being done in parts. The next part will up soon.

Collin

It was Friday morning. Today was Melody's birthday. We were skipping school. We'd have lunch with her dad then get on the road so we could go to the game tonight.I had to talk to her dad about proposing today. I was scared as fuck. What if he doesn't want to give away his only blood kid. Melody and him were very close. And I worry he won't want to give his daughter to a hipster in law school, or maybe he would anytime I had met him he'd seemed to like me. He even offered to show me around Nashville when I started out here.

"Collin." Melody was talking in her sleep again, god I moved it when she did that. It was even better hearing her say my name.

"Collin, I-" she whispered before rolling over next to me,laying her hand on my chest.I wonder what she was dreaming about, me obviously, but what was so important about me? Maybe she was dreaming about marrying me. Yeah right, I know she loves me but "marriage isn't her thing" as she had told me on our first date when we saw a women be proposed to. Maybe this isn't a good idea. I'm sure to be reminded by her father that I'll probably be declined if he lets me take her...

Melody

I ran down the beach chasing after Collin who had my shoes. It was a lot harder since the sand was hot and he was a pretty fast runner. I could hear him laugh a few feet in front of me. "You'll never catch me!" He shouted back at me. "Yes I will!" I said as I sped up. "No." He simply stated than sped he was a fast was about 15-20 feet ahead of me now.I would never catch up, I'm running out of breath now. But I was loosing this. Seeing Collin still run I sat on the sand and laid down like fallen then screamed. I watched as Collin turned quick ,seeing I was on the ground and sped his way to me. " Melody? Are you ok?" " Yeah but my head hurts a bit" I put my hand on my forehead to play along with my story. " Awe baby, let me see." I removed my hand to show him my head. "It's not red, but I'll kiss it anyway."he said sweetly and kissed me. "It shouldn't be" I laughed and took my shoes. " Now that's cold, you cheated" he said smiling at me. I gave him my best cheeky smile. He laughed at me and kissed my lips softly. "Melody, I love you" he said then sat behind and put his arms around me kissing just below me ear. "Collin , I love you." I said to him then stood up, " Come on, I'm hungry." "Good because I wanna go-" I opened my eyes to see Collin looking down at me . My head was on his chest and he was playing with my hair.

" Happy Birthday, MellyMouse."

"You ruined my dream" I said and buried my head in his chest.

He laughed "Good morning to you too I see."

"Sorry," I said wiping my eyes and yawning.

"There is no way you're still tired."

"Yes there is, you snored all night."

" At least I don't talk in my sleep." he said sticking his tongue out at me.

"I thought that was cute."

"It is." He said and kissed my forehead.

I couldn't help but smile at the mark of affection. He did this everyday, whether I was awake or not. It was his way of saying good morning or goodnight. I'm glad I'd been given the chance to let it happen every day.

"Are we still going to lunch with my dad?"

"That was the plan."

" Okie dokie, I'll be getting a shower then."

"I think Paul is in there already." I admit, having Paul here is still weird to me. I don't like the idea of him being able to watch me all the time. Even if I was by Collin's side 24/7. I always felt crowded around him and needed to get I felt as if I was getting in the way of his friendship with Collin. Plus it was a little awkward knowing that he was just in the other room when I was doing the you-know-what with Collin. And I liked keeping that just between us. Even if Collin had made jokes about a three-way with him my freshman year because he liked me. Plus now I'm 18 and I'm legal for him even though I'm not interested and something tells me he isn't quite over me yet. Even with his new girlfriend I have now met, and see that while she is a nice girl I don't geta good vibe from.

" I guess I'll wait then."I snuggled into him even more.

"Oh no no birthday girl. You are getting up and having a proper birthday breakfast."

"But you can't cook,or at least it tastes like it."

"I was going to take you out but since you love my cooking I think we'll stay in."

"No, take me out!"

"Um okay birthday girl," he said raising his fists as if he was going to punch me.

"That's not what I meant."

"I know," he teased. "I wouldn't hurt you anyway."

"Good," I said and kissed his lips lightly. He returned the kiss with another but longer this time. He opened his mouth the same time I did and swept his tongue over my lips, asking for permission to come in. Granting him I moved my hand to his hair. He groaned softly placing his tongue in my mouth, and swirling it as to fight for dominance. I let him win as he wrapped his arms around my waist and became to lift me on him he groaned again when my middle landed right on top of him. He pulled back from kissing me just enough to let our lips touch without kissing.

"Happy Birthday, Melody" he whispered into my lips giving me chills. Maybe being the birthday girl won't be so bad this year.
