Melanie Waters.
Gordon, John, Jesse and I were meeting up with Ghost today to catch him up on things that he's missed, which to me, seemed like a lot. I understand how we were doing this whole thing because of him, but we were doing all of the work. He was already late meeting us there and Jesse had to get back to the guys in the tunnel.
"Anything else?" The guy at the food truck asked Jesse and I. I got hungry, so he decided to get us and the guys a little bit to eat.
"Give me a couple of these too." Jesse said, pointing to some chips.
"Oh baby, I want some Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles. I said, while putting ketchup on my hotdog.
"And two of those for the misses." He said, pointing to my chips. After paying, he put all the snacks in his backpack and we held our hot dogs.
"Thanks man." He said to the guy.
"You got it." He said, nodding his head and give me a friendly smile and I smiled back.
I sat down on the step, waiting for Jesse to put his hotdog together, while I started eat mine.
"What's up?" I heard Ghost say and I rolled my eyes at the sight of him. "Hey pretty girl." He said to me and I flipped him off. He only did that because he knew Jesse wasn't going to hear him.
"You're late." Gordon said to him."How'd the parole meeting go?"
"We good." Ghost said, nodding his head. "They try and turn pissing in a cup into a seven-game series. We straight, though." He went to the food truck and Jesse finally came a sat down next to me and started to eat.
"Can I have a bit?" I asked, poking put my bottom lip.
"You have your own." He chuckled, pointing at my already half eaten one.
"But yours had relish on it. I wanna try." I said and he rolled his eyes and held it up to my lips and a took a bite. "Thank you." I said, covering my mouth and he shook his head smiling.
"You're welcome." He said and I kissed his cheek after I finished chewing.
"Jesse!" Ghost called out to him and I looked too.
"What's up?" Jesse said, nodding his head.
"What's happening? Where are the guys?" He asked, and I kissed my teeth. Like he actually cared.
"I'm on take-out duty." He said, holding up his food. They're waiting on me."
"Sounds good." He said, nodding his head and giving his attention back to Gordon.
"Why are you so mean?" Jesse laughed, bumping me a little bit.
"I don't like him. I hope after this, we don't ever have to see his little ass again." I said, before taking another bit on my hotdog.
"Don't worry baby girl. After this job, we'll be chilling in Jamaica for a little bit" He said, putting his arm around my shoulder
Gordon and Ghost talked for a little bit, and Jesse and I were finished eating, so we stood up and Jesse threw away our trash and I went by the motorcycle and put my helmet on. Jesse started to walk towards me and he turned around to Gordon and did his signature salute and peace. I thought it was cute, and he barely realized he did it. He got onto the bit, and I sat behind him, holding on, and we pulled off.

"Tomorrow's the day." Jesse said, laying on the bed, looking at me. I was packing both of our bags, so we could be ready to go to Jamaica as soon as we were done with the job. I was already ready for things to be over with. I just wanted to chill with my soon to be husband on a beach, with not a worry in the world.
Even though we've done a lot of jobs, this one just rubbed me the wrong way. From the beginning, I've said that it's not a good idea, and that we shouldn't do it, but the guys trust Gordon's words Even if Ghost snacked us out, killing him might now solve the problem. We're all still going to be suspects and could face jail time, and then also the Russians being involved didn't seem right to me either.
"Yeah, I know." I sighed, throwing more bathing suits in my suitcase.
He took a deep breath and moved to the edge of the bed and pulling me towards him, and on his lap. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I shrugged, not looking at me. One of the things I hated so far about being pregnant is how I over think everything and that I'm so emotional.
"Talk to me, Mel..I know something's bothering you" He said, giving my shoulder a few soft kisses. I covered my face and just started crying. "Babe..."
"I don't know why I'm so scared about tomorrow." I cried, laying my head on his shoulder. "What is something happens to you, Jesse? I wouldn't be able to function without you."
"Melanie, look at me." He said, making me sit up and look at him. I sniffled at he wiped my tears away and pecked my lips. "Nothing is going to happen to me. Everything will be fine. All the years we've been doing this, and nothing has gone wrong yet, why would it now? When we're so close to just living our lives? And if anything were to happen, you would be just fine. You have you kid to take care of and AJ and everyone else would more than willing to help you, okay?" I nodded my head, trying to stop crying. "Now stop thinking so negative, tomorrow will be fine."
"Okay." I nodded my head, trying to get myself together. "I'm sorry for being so emotional. Your child has me going crazy mentally and emotionally."
"I'm sorry, babe." He chuckled, kissing my check. "You know I love you right?" He asked and I nodded my head "I love you, too."
"Now forget about packing, we can worry about that tomorrow night.. Let's go to bed. we have a long day ahead of us."
"Okay." I said, moving the suitcases and getting into the bed with Jesse. Jesse seem to have fell asleep quickly, but I was up all night tossing and turning, not being able to shake this feeling that I had.
But it was just me being worrisome, and I needed to ignore it.
