Giving Us A Second Chance

Chapter Two

MEL'S POV

"So Mr.Gidion, as you may know, the press has been going on and on about your life. Saying this and that. But we all know that some may not be true while others may be. So to clearify everything, we have decided that it is best that you yourself tell the WGtvShow about your life."I say as I gave a small smile and looking at him.

"Sure, Ms Storm. But it is true that some things that the press said on the tabloids are not even true, like the previous ones actually."he said.

"So you are saying that the story that you are engaged is not true?" I asked, waiting for him to answer.

"That's not exactly what I said."he answers. Finally. This is getting more interesting, I thought as I continue to interview him further more.

"So you're saying is of course you're engaged to your fiancee, the one you caught cheating on you a month ago. Or should I say ex-fiancee?"it was more like a statement then a question. 
But that is my job anyway, I mean c'mon I'm interviewing for the show and not for myself. Okay maybe a little part of me too but who am I kidding, I no longer exists in his book.

"Ms Storms, I think that question is far more personal. And to answer your question, I'd like to keep all my personal doings and relationships to myself rather than telling the world. My life story  is based on football, and the press should know that."he said as he looked serious.

"You are right Mr.Gidion. And I think this is the last part of our question here. Thank you for your time," I respond to him And turn back looking at the camera to finish the interview,"and well folks, this brings us to the end of the show for tonight. Thank you everyone for watching. This is Melia Storm from the WGtvShow and y'all have a wonderful evening."I finished off with a pleasant smile plastered on my face at the camera as the crew said "and cut!"

I stood up and exited the stage. Fudge I need to get outta here now. The thought of seeing him just scares me.

I took my bag and keys and headed to the elevator. As soon as the doors were about to close someone put his hands making the doors hult and he came in. Oh great, so much for not seeing him again, I mutter to myself as the elevator doors closed and me stuck with the world's favorite Football player and my high school ex. More like my ex lover or lover. Yeah whatever.*eyes roll*

JECK'S POV

The nerve of that woman. Asking me about my personal life on a live tv show. And to top it of, she just vanished after the interview when I wanted to talk to her. After the interview I thought I was gonna see her at the back stage but she's gone.

I walked out and asked one of the workers if he saw her coming this way and he said he saw her left for the elevator just a minute ago. I ran after her as I saw the elevators door were about to shut. Putting my hand forward to stop the doors for closing, I rushed into the elevator seeing a shock Mel. This is gonna be fun, I think to myself.

We were in the elevator and I can't stop staring at her. She wasn't that short but staring down at her was cute. Her next words caught me off guard,"Can you not stare at me Mr. Gidion?"she said and turned her head to me. "Oh so we're going by our last names now acting as if we don't know each other and has never met before? Really Mel?"I said as she rolled her eyes. "And I'm not staring, it's hard to not look at something cute in front of you,ya know"I challenged and smirked at her.

She was about to answer when the bell of the elevator made a cling sound as the doors open and she rushed out. Great, same old typical stubborn Mel. I followed her and saw that she was on her phone probably waiting for a cab in front of the entrance.

"Waiting for someone?"I asked her as she turned and looked at me.
"I uhh, umm yeah. Just waiting for a for my lift."she said and turn away from me, looking at her phone.

" I can give you a lift. Come on. Besides it's already late, your friend might not show up early ."I said and made my way to my car.

She looks like she's having a hard time making up her mind. With the frown on her face that she's making, I can clearly tell that she's going against the idea of me giving her a lift.

Finally she decided to ride with me. The ride was a little awkward, we didn't talk. Just the background music from the stereo playing.

After two to three minutes of awkward silence, I decided to speak up. "So, where do you live?"

"Woodlocks Apartments,West Fling, downtown,"she answered.
"That's two blocks away from where I live"I told her. "Oh" was her response, totally cutting the conversation again as silence filled the air around us.

"This is it"she said and pointed to the building in front of us. To be precise, she lives in a good neighborhood.

I stopped the car in front of her building and she got out. "Thank you for the lift Mr.Gideon, I appreciate it "she said once she was out side of my car.
"No problem at all, it was my pleasure"I replied back and nod.

After I drop her off and pull out, my phone started to ring. Looking at the screen, I answered,"Hello?"

"Hi Jecky boy, what are you doing tonight?"the person from the other side of the line asked me.
"Seriously dude, don't call me that. You know I hate that name. And I'm free tonight, what's up?"I said, waiting for him to answer.
"The guys said to head out tonight to go to the bar, you coming?"Ken asked me.
"Sure, where are we heading?"
"CSI, six thirty sharp"was he's answer.
"Where the bloody hell is that, is there a bar or club that's called CSI around  here that I don't know of?"I asked in daze, trying to figure out what CSI stands for.
"Bro,it's Club Star Illusion and I got us a boot in the VIP lounge. Just meet us at the entrance at six thirty sharp."he said and cut the call.

Oh well, looks like I have plans for tonight.

Mel's POV.

Tired. Bored. Sleepy. Yep, that's what I was feeling after he dropped me off. I'm on my couch, lying down watching some news when suddenly my doorbell rang. Okay that would be strange, I'm expecting Lolo to pick me up around seven and not six sharp.

Curious of whom it might be, I opened the door.
"It's about time babe, you made me wait for 30 seconds"said the person from the door.

"What the....! Ryan?"I asked shocked.
When he smiled, I screamed and pulled him for a hug.
