My One and Only ?

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Melissa's POV:

But I couldn't continue as Daniel bent down and locked his lips with mine.

Despite the fact that I was laying on the hospital bed with a glucose drip attached to my right wrist, Daniel's kiss had a great impact on me.

if I was only frail and week earlier, now I was dizzy too! Talk about butterflies? I had the entire zoo playing baseball in my stomach.

His lips finally left mine and he got up.

I forgot I was supposed to exhale and inhale air, my mind stop functioning and I lost all sense of how we were supposed to breathe.

"Melissa breathe" Daniel said, chuckling.

Shit. Daniel had noticed the effect his kiss had on me. I felt my cheeks flame and I could swear on my life that I was blushing.

Way to go Melissa!

"Awww dont be embarassed Melissa, I know my kisses leave a long impact." He said and smirked.

My cheeks only got hotter.

Daniel then took his hand and placed it on his chest.

I felt the fast beating of his heart against my palm. The rate of his heartbeat was way faster than what it would have been under normal circumstances. I just stared at him without saying anything.

"You have the same effect on me Melissa." Daniel said and smiled. Wasn't he the sweetest boyfriend ever?

"Stop being so cheesy Mel!" I scolded myself. I think Daniel heard me because he gave me a questioning glance.

"Daniel we need to talk" I said, trying to get up.

In an instant Daniel grabbed my shoulders and stopped me from getting up.

"Yes we need to but not until you are fir enough to go home okay?" he said. I only gave him a knowing smile.

He then got up, probably to leave.

"I gotta leave, mom has some work and I have to drive her to the bank" He said and smiled guiltily.

"Okay" I said and smiled.

Atleast he visited me.

"I'll stop by in the evening, hope to see you at home then" he said and winked.

"You have no idea how much I want that" I muttered.

Daniel chuckled and turned around to leave. He stopped at the door and looked at me.

"Mel promise me you wont do that ever again." he said with a serious look on her face.

Was he talking about the kiss? Wasn't he the one who said that we'd talk about it when I recovered?

"Do what?" I asked, my heart heating so fast that it could almost come out of my chest.

"Run like that. Promise me never." Daniel said.

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him.

"I promise" I almost whispered.

He gave me one last smile and left.

Daniel's POV:

Melissa was seriously that dumb? My girlfriend faintred because she ran too fast for too long, who does that?

The phrase 'my girlfriend' was still new to me, and it brought a smile to my face. Any thought about Melissa brought a smile on my face.

But there was also the fact that Ryan had kissed Melissa, I could swear on my life that Melissa was completely innocent, as much as I had come to know her, if there was one thing Melissa wouldn't do was cheat. For now I had to talk to Ryan.

As I exited Melissa's room I was greeted my Mark and Melissa's father.

I nodded and Mark and greeted her father.

"So you gonna deal with Ryan or should I?" Mark asked with a smirk evident on his face.

"Um, I will talk to him." I said confidently.

"Talk, eh?" He asked.

"Yeah, by talking I mean talking, no violence intended, as girly as it sounds." I said, pretty confidently.

Mark only chuckled, rolled his eyes and left.

Ryan's place. My next destination.

I already had his address. My knuckels turned white as I held the steering wheel too hard while driving over to his place.

I had to maintain the composure in front of Melissa, I couldn't let the rage take over me then. But now, my blood was boiling in my veins just thinking about the fact that Ryan had the guts to kiss someone else's girlfriend, he clearly knew that Melissa and I were together, wasn't it obvious when we met his little brother in the park yesterday?

"Damn!" I cursed, smacking my fist on to the steering wheel. 

I reached his house and was out of the car in an instant. I realized that his brother would also be home so I calmed myself down and decided against any kinfd of violence or any loud arguement, I certainly didn't want to scare the little boy for the ass his brother was being!

Knocking on the door I ran my hand through my hair, clutching them lightly.

Charlie opened the door and gave me a hi5 automatically as he saw me.

"Hey big boy! Are you allowed to open the door?" I asked giving him a smile.

"Ryan doesnt know!" Charlie said and gave me a mischevious smile.

"Where is Ryan?" I asked, and as if on cue Ryan appeared from behind. 

Obviously Ryan was not oblivious to the reason why I had appeared on his doorstep, he knew better than me what had he gotten himself into.

"Charlie can you draw me a picture of Melissa, you and me?" Ryan smirked and looked at Charlie.

Charlie happily nodded and retreated into him.

This piss of a person.

"You pretty much know why have I come here Ryan, I dont need to enlighten you, do I?" I said, maintaining my calm.

"No Daniel. Did I do someting wrong?" Ryan said in a falsetto voice.

"You. Kissed. Melissa. Without. Her. Permission. Why." I said, literally grittering my teeth. It took all of my self control to not punch him.

"Because I wanted to!" Ryan said, smirking.

"Shutup you asshole. She is mine, I love her. Back off!" I snarled.

"Welcome to the group." Ryan muttered.

"Look Ryan I am genuinely not interested in what goes on in that filthy mind of yours, but I am only going to warn you so many times that you better back away and dont you dare lay hands on her again otherwise I swear you'll regret having hands in the first place!"

"She is mine and I will have her." He said.

"She is a person not a thing for fuck's sake okay?" I said and turned around to leave.

Later that day when i went around to Mel's place to meet her I was successful in faking a smile but I couldn't get my mind off what Ryan had said, "She is mine and I will have her." 

I couldn't let Melissa know, the last thing I wanted was to upset Melissa even more. I had to deal with it on my own, and I was sure I would. I told myself I had to. No matter what.

I could never let Melissa go, not in my wildest dreams.

Melissa was equivalent to oxygen for me, she was my survival.

I had nothing to prove to Ryan, but I had to prove to Melissa that I deserved her, and that I loved her with all of my heart.
