Finding You(on hold)

Shaking Sands and Breaking Hearts

Collin

Of all the people I thought I'd see in the parking lot of this hotel, I honestly think I have a better chance of seeing Santa Claus, I didn't think it would be Riley. I thought she moved to Florida. Maybe I was wrong. But with the bad history I now hold with her, I'm just going to pretend I never saw her and get the bags to meet Melody in our room. Talking to Riley definitely wasn't on the list of things I was hoping to do this weekend.

"Collin?" Shit, I thought to isn't happening. Before I had the chance to turn around as if I never heard her she was running over to me.

"Oh Riley. Didn't think I'd see you here." I hope she catches the "get the fuck away from me" in my tone.

"Me either. Wow, I honestly didn't think you could get any cuter over the years. How long has it been five, six years?"

"Three." I said, avoiding her must still be on whatever drug she's on if she thinks it's been six years.

"Oh well, it still seems like forever. We should get together sometime while you're in town. How about we get some coffee now?"

"Melody is waiting on me in our room," making sure Melody's name and our room was heard. Riley face changed at the mention of her name. She quickly recovered herself.

"Well, I'm sure she wouldn't mind one little cup of coffee would she?" She would if I'm with you, I thought.

"I think she will plus we already have plans for tonight."

"Oh, like what?" she asked.

"Like I plan on proposing to her. And to get going, I don't want her to be waiting me." I watched her jaw drop as I turned with the bags. I couldn't help but smile at her dismay. I can't wait to tell Melody.

Melody

"We need a new hotel, Collin. I can't stay at the same place as her and you know that."

He laughed.

"I'm serious there's no way I can stay here it she's here too. You know that."

"Melody, I think we can stay at the hotel."

"I don't," I said getting you to get our bags.

"Melody, you can't leave just because of her."

"Sure I can, and I'll do it by myself if I have to."

"Melody," he sighed, "Don't do this. I brought here for your birthday and you shouldn't let her ruin that. She's not going to come for either of us, she knows I'm here with you."

"Then that would give her an even better reason to do she could separate us." I walked closer to him at he bed.

He grabbed my hips and pulled me between his open legs. "I'm not going to let that happen, not again."

I shook at the memory of Riley having me locked in that room for days.

"Melody. I'm not letting it happen."

I couldn't help but think to myself: but she will...

Riley

I can't believe he just did that. Why would he tell me off like that. And why the hell is he going to propose to her? She isn't pretty, she isn't smart, and she's still in high school for god's sake! So why would he want her? I pulled my phone out and called Finely. She answered on the third ring.

"What?" she asked answering the phone.

"Don't get a tone." I said to her, "And you  need to get here and fast."
