Melanie Banks

My name is Melanie Banks aka Lani, or Mel. I'm the daughter of the C.E.O of Banks United Bank, Carter Banks. I live in a mansion in Los Angeles. I'm twenty years old and current student of LA University taking up Business so I could become just as successful as my wonderful dad.

"Melanie Aaliyah Banks." My father called from downstairs.

"Yes daddy?"

"Come make breakfast, I have to leave in less than an hour."

"Ughh! I'm coming." I put on my robe and met him downstairs in the kitchen.

"Eggs, sausage, pancakes, orange juice." I plopped the plate in front of him as he sat down. I brought over his glass and proceeded upstairs.

"Why are you in a hurry?" he said stuffing his face.

"Dad. I have school."

"Oh." He giggled. "How's that coming along?"

"Good. I have one last course to finish and then I can finally start my business and things of that such."

"Hmm. I'm proud of you baby girl. I'm getting old." He looked down.

"Thanks daddy." I chuckled. "You need a wife when baby girl moves out, gonna be lonely."

"I know, that's why I'm bringing a friend over tonight for dinner!" He smiled.

"Oh my gosh, not again." I rolled my eyes.

"Honey, don't do this. I really like her and I need you to whip us up a nice dinner, chef!"

"but Dad, I was gonna meet Erin tonight for some 'girl time' "

"but you can always see Erin. I need you tonight."

I huffed. "Fine. I'll cancel, but you owe me."

I went upstairs and Skyped Erin letting her know I wasn't gonna be able to come. She was a little upset, but she'll get over it.

FAST FORWARD TO THAT NIGHT.

*Ding Dong*

"She's here!" Dad said coming out of no where fixing his tie.

"I'll get it." I said putting the last plate down on the dining table.

I approached the door as Dad tied his shoe and reached to open it.

"Hello." She said smiling from ear to ear. "You must be Melanie."

"What?" I said with a disgusted look on my face.

AFTER DINNER

Dad was cleaning the table as I put the leftovers away.

"Well..how do you like her?" He asked smiling.

I gave him a blank stare. "I..."

He gave me those puppy dog eyes.

I sighed. "I guess she's alright."

"Good! That's all I wanted to hear. I'll go get ready for bed. Goodnight baby girl." He kissed my cheek and walked out.

Later that night

"What do you mean she was there?" Erin said huffing into the phone.

"I don't know Erin. I didn't even know he was talking about her."

"Oh my gosh. I can't believe this man. How do you even know it's her?"

"I'm not sure but she looks and talks just like her."

"This is bad Lani, we might have to call the police..."

"No Erin, I'm sure this probably could be someone else."

"You're right. It could be..we all do have atleast 6 look a likes in this world. What did you say her name was?"

"Samantha Harley."

She laughed. "Well, then that's not her. Her name was Karla Obregan."

I sighed in relief. "Thank God."

"I totally thought it was her!" She continued to laugh.

"Yeah, me too. Listen, I'll hit you up in the morning, I need sleep."

"Me too. Night."

"Night."
