Who Knew?(Sequel) Book 2

Chapter 3

(Melina's POV)

'Another normal day' I thought. Or maybe not.....

It was rare that I ever got visitors at work, but when I did they always seem to come at the busiest time. Like today.

The phone at my desk started ringing, I rushed over to it and pressed the speaker button.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Miss? You have a visitor." Said Jessica. I internally rolled my eyes. I sighed,

"Alright, send them up." I muttered hanging up.

I rushed back to work, looking under the microscope for the changes in cells between the animal I have, and one of its possible ancestors. I heard a knock at my door, and I looked up and saw Louis.

I put my head back down, focusing on the job at hand.

"Hey." He said, putting a hand on my shoulder. I nearly jumped a mile, my eyes widening.

"How many times do I have to tell you this Lou! You can't be in here unless you are certified to be!" I groaned, pushing him out into the doorway. He chuckled at my reaction, the same as it always is.

"Just wanted to see how you are holding up." He said. I furrowed my brows, and thought for a minute.

"Holding up with what?" I asked, looking back under the microscope.

"Him." He spat. His entire demeanor changed within seconds of Harry coming into the conversation. I looked up at him with tired eyes.

"He's changed Louis. Believe me. He's a good man now." I stated, hoping it would finally get through his head.

"You seriously think he's changed?" Louis scoffed. I rolled my eyes, placing my hands on the lab table looking up at him.

"Yea, he actually has. What you said yesterday at court really hurt him. He broke down Lou! He was hoping you forgave him! He misses you as his best friend why can't you see that!" I raised my voice.

Louis just looked at me, thinking. "What I said to him, is nothing compared to the shit he put me through for 2 years! Saying 3 words to him, isn't going to justify the amount of hurt I have suffered from him!" He yelled.

Seriously? "Louis! Listen to me! 10 years in jail is long enough to justify what he did to both of us!" I shouted, matching his voice. This time he rolled eyes at me, then his eyes darted to my collar bone.

"What in sane hell is that?" He growled, walking back into the room. My eyes widened.

I forgot about the love bite Harry gave me last night. I was in such a rush I didn't have time to cover it. I opened my mouth to explain that it was nothing, but Louis beat me to it.

"You fücked him didn't you!" He yelled. I flinched at his tone.

"No! Why would I?!" He laughed at my remark.

"Don't act like you don't want him. Even those 10 years ago you wanted him. Now that he's grown and you are legal, you have your chance to fück him!"

I looked at Louis. What is his problem? "Louis, listen to me! I didn't have sex with him! I didn't want him back then! I was scared of him in the beginning and at the end, we somewhat made up! Where did you even get that I wanted him from that!" I defended.

"And another thing," I continued, "how are you not over what happened those 10 years ago? That's it! It was 10 years ago Lou! You have to learn to get over things!"

"Have you gotten over what Liam did to you? Or Zayn? Hmm?" He asked. I cringed at the thought.

"I haven't forgotten what the did to me, an I may have not forgiven them, but I've learned to get over it, and move on. You need to learn to do the same." I snapped.

He shook his head, god why is he being a dick? "You are just a slut looking for someone to fück, you've been that way since Liam took your innocence. Harry's just that poor fellow who you are just going to use for your own needs. You haven't changed at all Melina. Still the same slut you were 10 years ago." He said, with a wicked smile on his face.

I took a step back at his harsh words. I shook my head, covering my hand with my mouth. Why would he even say something like that?

Louis walked out, and I slid down to the floor, rubbing my hands over my face, refusing to cry. 'He will not win' chanted in my head. I took a deep breathe and stood up, wiping myself off, and got back to work.

A while later, my desk phone rang again, and I pressed speaker. "Yeah?" I asked.

"Miss, you have a call, from a man named Harry?" Jessica said, sounding a bit unsure.

"Put it through. Thanks." I said, waiting to hear Harry's voice.

"Hello?" He asked. I smiled a bit.

"Hey." I replied.

"Um, what time do you get home again?" He asked.

"Probably 3 this afternoon, why?"

"Miss you, that's all." He chuckled. I laughed a bit myself.

"Well, I have lunch around 11, if you want to go somewhere and we can spend my lunch together." I said sounding hopeful.

"Yeah, that-that would be great." He said. I could picture him smiling that little dimple poking through.

"We can go somewhere close to home, considering you don't have a car. There's a pizza place down the street, meet me there for a little after 11." I told him smiling.

"Okay, so um, see you in like 3 hours then?" The conversation soon ended, and I had to get back to work.

Louis' words rang through my head. I shook my head, and refocused myself.

There was a knock at my door again. Will the interruptions ever end?! I sighed, an looked up seeing my boss.

"Hello Sir." I plastered a fake smile on my face.

"Hello Ms. Palmieri, how's the new project going?" He asked.

"Moving slowly but surely." I said, hoping this little visit would end soon.

"Well don't mind me. Go back to work." He instructed. I nodded, and wrote down some results I found.

Then I felt hands on my waist, and I froze. The problem was, I was partially bent over so I could write down everything. He pulled me closer to him, and I was very uncomfortable.

"Sir? Is there something that you needed, or want?" I asked clearly annoyed. He molded his body to mine, and whispered in my ear.

"What I want is the same as its always been, you." He said in his best seductive voice he could manage. I cringed.

"Sir-" I was cut off by a groan.

"God, it's so sexy when you call me Sir." My boss said, pressing up against me even harder.

"Mr. Banks, please let go of me." I said sternly.

"Are you refusing my offer again?" He asked. "Yes." I spit.

He let go of me, and now stood in front of me. "Well then Miss Palmieri, you have until Friday to get this project done, and to hand in all paper work." He said stiffly.

I gasped. "A week?! Just because I refuse to have sex with you! I need at least a month to get this done! A week is no where near enough time!" I argued.

He smiled, "Well, that's your problem." He told me and walked out.

I sighed. Looks like a lot if over time is in my future. Just fücking fabulous.

Well yea! That's all for today! Sorry it took so long to get this done, but I've been pretty busy the last few days, and I'm probably not going to be able to update tomorrow. Who knows. I will try my best though!
