Giving Us A Second Chance

Chapter Three

Mel's POV

The water touched my skin as I felt relived and relaxed under the shower. It's been a very long day for me with the interview and than him, dropping me off.
I came out of my trance when the doorbell rang,"Ry can you get the door please," I shouted to him to answer the door. Must be the pizza delivery I thought.

As it might be a bit confusing since I never mention Ryan McInnis  before, well you see when I went to collage, I met this cute looking guy (not as cute as Jeck) but you know at least good looking that makes girls drool over by just checking him out. Well any girl would, like I did at first but when I became close to Ryan, I find out that he was gay and poor thing just put me to shame. Anyways, Ryan is like a big brother to me since collage. Later when we graduated, he left for Florida with his boyfriend who is a musician and I came to Chicago. We've kept tabs on ourselves for the last couple of years but he never told me that he was coming to Chicago till this evening I was shocked to see him at my doorstep.

Speaking of which, I dried my hair and changed into my outfits that I laid on my bed. Once I'm done dressing up, I fixed my hair and make up. Satisfy with my looks in the mirror I went to check on Ryan in the living room.

"So you're Mel's friend, right? You sure you not her boyfriend? Cause you know I'm single right now and..."

"Don't waste your time Shay, he's not into anything that has a vagina" I cut her off with a smirk once I reached the kitchen.

"Aww come on Mel, you never told me you had piece of candy here that is friends with you. If I had known, I'd have him in no time" she pout.
Typical bitch of my friend here is Shay Daniels, yep she's a bitch with an attitude of a slut. But we don't judge her that much, she has issues and we never minded her. Out of everything she is, she's a very good and close friend of mine.

"This piece of candy here happens to be my gay best friend and even tho if he weren't, what makes you think I'd let you date him?" I challenge just to annoy her. Her mouth hung open not believing me.
Shocked? Surprised? Maybe she didn't get what I said. Because she just laughed and said," You kidding me right? I mean c'mon, he isn't with this body features I could...."
"Could have for food like you always have any other guys for?" I smirk at her facial expression right now cause believe it or not I think she's about to burst. But sadly, out of no where, Ryan piped in.

"For goodness sake ladies, I'm right here and you two's kept talking like I'm invisible that  I'm some kind of food. Gross, save all the craps  for your boyfriends or lovers and not in front of me!"came Ryan's voice. Shay and I shared a look than  we burst into laughter.

"What? What's so funny that I've just said?"asked a confused Ryan.
"No*laugh* it's nothing *laugh* really. Ry you should've seen your face, it was priceless"I said and burst in laughter again.

"Hahaha really funny,not!"He said disappointed.

"What's so funny here?" came Lolo's voice at the door.
Oh she just arrived.
"And who might you be?"Ryan asked and starred at Lolo.
"I'm Lolo, her bestfriend. And who the hell are you?"Lolo shot back at Ryan.
Okay this is not happening.
"Best friend? I'm her best friend! We've shared an apartment in college"said Ryan.
"Oh please, I've known Mel since lower school and high school which is obvious that I'm 'The' best friend and no one can replace me!" Lolo emphasize each word she said. Okay this has to stop. I was about to say something when suddenly someone clapped their hands.
All eyes shot to Shay,"What?"she asked innocent . "It was really dramatic, couldn't blame me cause that was entertaining."she finishes her sentence and I just rolled my eyes.

"Guys come on, let's not fight now. We're going to have fun and let's not ruined it with some childish argument"I said. "You all are my best friend. Now, let's get going before we're late"I finishes of and walked towards the front door.

JECK'S POV

"I'll have eight shot glasses of tequila and four beers"said Nicholas to the bartender. I met the guys after Ken's phone call and here we are now in the club, chilling away in the VIP launch.
Up from here, we could clearly see everyone on the dance floor. All the people we're wasted, grinding into each other on the dance floor with sweaty bodies.
Taking a sip on my beer and scanning through the crowds I saw a familiar face walking into the entrance with a blond guy and two other girls.

Oh so the chic has a boy toy, tsk such a shame, I thought to my self.

I always thought she was different but after everything she put me through, I had enough of her and shut her out full time.
The last thing  I wanted to do to her was being her friend but instead she made me feel like a fool by ignoring me and forget about me.
Never once in a while I thought that we'd ended up this way but guess not. It was meant be this way because if her stubbornness.

I offered her a ride because I know she doesn't have a ride and she looked desperate in the moment so I helped. Of course I stole glances of her in the elevator and maybe flirt a little but that was just it. I never meant anything serious.

I was all stuck up to my thoughts till Ken's voice took me outta my trance.
"Fuck, she's fucking hot!"said Ken,glancing at one of the girls near the bar, "I'm gonna go ask them to join us."
"I call dibs on the one with big titties and ass"Sammy pipes in.
"Dude, she's a blonde and you don't do blonde so let me have her"said Nicholas.
Yep, my friends are all about pretty ladies. None are thinking to settle down yet, settling down is not for us. We dont have time for it cause we're too busy enjoying our lives. Maybe in the future or whenever but I'm hoping it's not me who settle down first. I don't want the guys to make fun of me but all of us are hoping that Nicholas would be the first cause he definitely needs a wife.

Later Ken introduced us to the girls and they joined us in our booth. One of the girls name is Lillian, she's the brunette among the girls. She's kinda cool, we had little conversations while the others we're busy flirting. Hence, they've already touching themselves.

"C'mon Jeck, let's go dance"Lillian said. I shake my head, I don't dance and this girl is forcing me to. She made a pout face,"how about I dance for you, right here?"she asked.

When I said nothing, she started to bite her lips and do sexy dances.
Damn, she's good. She moved over so she's towering me, making me look up to her face which is inches away from my own.

Next thing I know, her lips came crashing down on me. Well after all, I'm here to have fun and this can help me get my mind of off things. Like that good for nothing Mel, I thought to myself and kissed the girl back.

.......... Next Day...........

I woke up with someone beside me. Turning my face so I could get a good view of the person, I shoot out of bed. Damn it, I was really wasted last night.
Holding my head between my hands I groan, it fucking hurts like someone just threw a brick on my head. Glancing at my watch to check the time, it's 7am in the morning and my meeting with coach is around ten. Getting up from bed, I walked outta the room to take a shower in the other room.

The water poured on me and I felt relief. I've drank too much yesterday, then Lillian kissed me and than we ended up at my place in one of my guests rooms. So much for controlling myself. I just hope the paparazzi didn't take any pictures of me in the club yesterday, or coach will be mad at me again for not listening to him when I have world cup coming up.

After shower, I went down stairs to make myself coffee. While reading the newspaper, I hear clicking sound coming down from the stairs. Not looking up because I already know who the clicking sound belongs to, I busy myself reading the morning paper not even acknowledging the person standing from the room.

She must've got the message because next thing I know, the front door flew open and the girl storm out slamming the door behind her.
I just chuckle to myself, it's really fun watching them do that every morning because hey, it's never my fault. They wanted it so I give it to them, that's it. Period. I am the world's football player, like already said before. I've only got time for my passion, my family and my game. I don't have time for girls or even dating and I love it that way. This is me, Jeckham Prince Gideon, king of football and no one can change who I am.
