Chapter 2#

Melanie made it to the Loft Dinner her face flush from running and her once neat amber hairs all over the place. She tried to fix it back into place but the attempts prove to be futile. Mentally cursing herself, for not walking with a comb she stepped into the cool AC dinner, her eyes searching for her friend Lauren. She spotted the tall blond hair woman at a far off corner sitting at an empty table looking worry as ever as she check her watch. She figures probably for the up teen time.

Sighing she quickly walk over to her friend before she got anymore irritated. Lauren hated when you're late and Melanie could tell by the look on her friend face she was at her wits. "What the hell Mel you got me waiting for hours. You lucky I order for you." Lauren said as soon as she reached her.

"Well excuse me for being late. I almost got hit by a car you know." She said. Lauren eyes open wide at her comment.

"Oh Mel what happen? Are you all right?" Lauren questions her face crease with worry now. Melanie had been her friend since they were babies. Both of their mom's give birth to them in the same hospital. No they didn't born the same day Mel is a month before Lauren.

Mel lazily waves her hand off at her, dismissing her worry some look as nothing. "I'm fine as you can see." She paused before adding. "A guy pushed me out of the way before anything could happen."

The waitress came and places each of their meals on the table along with a glass of wine. She quickly scurry away to assists some other folks a couple of table away from them.

"You should be more careful Mel. I don't know what your father would do if you die. I'm very grateful to the guy that saves your life. Did you get his name? You send him a thank you note." Lauren said taking a sip of her wine. Mel face turned into a scowl as she put a piece of white chicken into her mouth. Lauren raised a brow at her. 'What? Aren't you grateful that he saved you?" she questions.

"Off course I am but the guy was a total jerk about. He claims I wanted to commit suicide." She answers.

'Really?'

"Yeah and even when I explain myself it was an accident he still insisted on his theory. Then he's to have the audacity to ask me out, what an ass."

"Hmm," Lauren nods her head at her a smile forming on her lips. "So was he cute?"

Mel almost choked on her water she was drinking. "Lauren!" she yell hissed at her friend a not too please look on her face.

"Whattt?' Lauren asks faking an innocent look on her face. 'I'm just curious. Anyway what did you tell him?'

Mel stare her friend down as she place a salad in her mouth. If it were someone else she was telling this story to, they would agree with her that the man was an ass. But no not Lauren she has to ask if the guy was cute. Mel gives her an, ''are you for real look before answering''. "Honestly Lu I don't know how I put up with you," she said. Her friend just gives her a cheeky grin and shrugged her shoulder in reply. She sighed at her. 'I told him that I wasn't interested in going out with someone like him then I briefly thanked him for saving me and I hurry off.'

'Wow so he wasn't cute at all?"

Mel face instantly got red with annoyance at her friend. 'You are so, aaah,' she paused thinking of something. 'I don't even know what to say.' She gives up.

Lauren laughed her eyes sting with tears. She just love getting up under neat her friend skin. "Ok, ok, ok I give. I'm serious now. Why don't you tell me how you almost got hit buy a car."

Mel stared at her for a full long minute. When she realizes that Lauren was going to listen and not make any stupid comment anymore she explains the full story starting with the call from John. By the time she finish both girls had finish eating and now waiting for their cheque.

'So what are you going to do now?' Lauren asks her after a moment of silence. She was referring about Mel having to find someone else to married in a couple of weeks. Now that John decides to back out. Lauren watched as her friend put her head in her hands, covering her whole face, she could see the worry lines formed on her temple and she wished she could do something to help her. Her father really is a desperate man to come up of a way to get his daughter married. If only her mother was alive.

"I don't know, probably hope for a miracle." Melanie finally answered. Her phone started ringing she looked at it and notice it's her father calling her. Not wanting to talk to him she left it to continue ringing. Lauren raised her brow at her and she mouthed, 'Dad' at her. After a while her phone stopped ringing and she open her mouth to say something but it cut her off by ringing again.

"Might as well answer it or he's going to keep calling you." Lauren remarked. "It's probably important."

Nodding her head at her friend she excuses herself and left to talk to her father.
