Mending Stone Hearts

Chapter Nine: I Have This Feeling

I Have This Feeling

Lennox's P.O.V.

After Mark left, I stayed awhile. I went to the cove of trees and where he placed that canoe I saw him rowing earlier. I sat down on it as it floated on the water and thought about what he said. "I won't take another chance, unless you convince me to....." What did he mean by that? Seriously.............. Did he mean that I have to seduce him or something because that would be really disturbing. I still have virgin eyes for my sake! I should go ask Melanie later. 

I also thought about Madeleine. I mean I didn't hear everything but I could hear that he was really laced with regret. I still think he's mental though. I mean he was talking! At first I thought there might be someone there but there wasn't anyone. I just looked at him from behind the trees. RUE MOMENT!!!! I thought in my head. But all I could see, was him laying over stone, crying his heart out. 

It broke my heart just to see him crying. I mean literally just a few days ago he was shouting at me and being moody. At first I thought he was on his man period. I giggled at my ridiculousness. Why do I keep thinking about him though? I thought. I mean he's always rude to you Lennox. Why do YOU keep thinking about Mark. 

"UGHHHH!!!!!" I screamed at the water. I quickly dove in (of course wearing my swim wear) and felt the water cool on my skin. The water seemed to get rid of my thoughts for  awhile as swam along the shore.  After that swim, I finally drove back home only to be greeted by Melanie.

"Where were you!?!?!?!"

"Uhhhhhhh, the lake?" I answered confused.

"You missed lunch. It's almost dinner!!!"

"Ohhhh sorry. I lost track of time," I answered sheepishly.

"Where's my picture now!!!!"

"I couldn't get it back," I lied. I din't want her to have it. For some reason, it was like I wanted it and thought it was memorable for  reason. I know. What a horrible excuse. You my thin that I like Mark but you're wrong. I don't even think there's a connection.

"You suck Lennox!!!! Do you know how much that picture would have been worth? Now only Stephen has a copy but he's on the way to Mark's and he won't answer me!!!!"

"That's not my problem," I said smirking. "Please stop screaming too. Now, I would like to eat, so please excuse me."

"Fine. You're dinner is in the fridge."

"Thanks Mel!!!! By the way!" I called from the kitchen. "I need to ask you something later!"

"Okay!" she called back. 

After I ate my delicious meal, I went  to our bedroom and found Melanie staring at her phone. She looked like a creepy zombie but I knew she was waiting for Stephen to call back.

"Are you ready?" I asked, breaking her out of her trance.

"What? Oh, sure. Start from the beginning."

"Okay," I started. "Well you know how I went to Mark's house to get the picture back? Well he told me to get it back, I had to kiss him. I was so caught up in the moment that I did."

"WAIT WHAT?!?!?!?!?? LENNOX I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD HAPPEN!!!!! I KNEW YOU GUYS WOULD MAKE OUT SOON!!!!!" said Melanie jumping on the bed pulling me up with her.

"Wait, I never said anything about us making out."

"BUT YOU KNOW ITS TRUE!!!!" she said while wiggling her eyebrows.

"My ears my ears!!! Ughhh. Melanie, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Okay then what?" she said while looking at her phone.
