My One and Only ?

Chapter 27

Chapter 27:

Melissa's POV:

Dad wouldn't let me out of bed even for a minute, he was giving me such a royal treatment. Mark had left early in the morning and had made me promise that I'd call him 

if Ryan tried anything else, which really was ppontless because Daniel had already talked to him.

Anyway, the only thing I hated about staying in bed was the fact that it was the last day of the weekend and I couldn't go out to the mall or something with Sharon.

Wait! Did I just say that I wanted to go to the mall with Sharon? Me and the mall? I guess being someone's girlfriend was having it's due effect on me.

Putting aside the earlier non existing girly thoughts I picked up the first book I could get my hands on, Five people You Meet In Heaven, a bit too deep but a very 

good read.

The book kept me occupied for almost two and a half hours and I was through most of it. However, my reading spell broke when my phone rang with my Moves Like Jagger 

ringtone.

'Ryan Calling', the screen said. 

unsure of if I wanted to talk to him yet I cut the call and called up Daniel instead, intending to keep my phone line busy.

"Hey babe" Daniel answered.

"Did I tell you I love it when you call me babe?" I said, smiling.

"Well you did now! WHatsup?" He said, chuckling.

"Resting and reading, the same the same. Hey anyway, Ryan called up!" I said trying to sound as casual as I could, as if I were talking about the weather. The deal 

would only get better if I made it big. There was silence on the other side.

After a while Daniel spoke again.

"And?" He asked, meaning to ask whether I had picked the call or not.

"And I didn't pick. I thought I'd ask you first, but I thinkg he probably called to apologize..." 

"Mel you dont need my permission to talk to your friend okay? If he calls you again and if you want to talk to him, do that babe. He is your friend after all. However 

if he calls and you dont want to talk and he still keeps badgering you, let me know, I really want to kick some ass." He said, chuckling.

"You will kick some ass?" I asked, highly amused.

Honestly, as stern as Daniel would try to sound, Ryan was way muscular than him and the odds were that Ryan would probably knock Daniel out with one punch.

"Why? Are you doubting my absolutely amazing fighting skills Senorita Melissa?" He asked in a fasetto voice.

"Why absolutley Senor Daniel. I dont want to see you with a blue eye!" I said.

"If fighting got my girl gives me scars, I'll be proud of them for lifetime." He said and my heart stopped. No exaggeration.

"Daniel..." I said, unable to say anything else anymore.

"Yeah? Melissa, right now I gotta hang up, but I just want you to know that I trust you, and that you can talk to Ryan if you want to okay?" He said.

"Okay, bye" I hung up.

Whoa! What was all this about? Daniel didn't mind if I talked to Ryan even if Ryan had allegedly tried to kiss me...

I think it was either of the two extremes, either he was too understanding about all of this or he was really upset but didn't want to show it. I just had to figure 

out which of the two was true.

Anyway, after hanging up with Daniel I decided to call up Ryan. I had prepared in my mind what I would say to him, I'd only ask him why he had called, but I wouldn't 

even mention the kiss, I decided.

Taking deep breadths I heard the call dialling as I waited for him to pick up. 

I should have texted, I thought.

I had never been so comfortable in verbally talking about things so serious.

"Hello?" The rough voice greeted me. 

Rough because now that I was so used to Daniel's voice, all other sounds seemed deafening. Is it strange that even during such a tensed situation, one thought of 

Daniel, as simple as this one, could calm me down?

"hey" I said, my voice barely audible.

In turn I only received silence.

Nonetheless completely awkward silence.

"Um... you called" I said, unsure if I was asking him, telling him or reminding myself.

"Yeah... Um... I wanted to, um... talk to you..." He said, stammering alot.

"okay" i said, unable to think of any other response.

"Can I come over?" he quickly asked.

"Why?" I asked, my response being even quicker.

"To talk!" He said, as if stating the obvious.

"Can we video call instead?" I asked, absolutely unprepared to meet him.

"Sure" He replied and I hurriedly hung up.

Ryan's POV:

So I had kissed her. And I had loved it. The feel of her soft velver like lips was like feeling the finest pashmina.

Even though she was kind of annoyed at first, I'm sure the realization of what we both have would come to her pretty soon.

But right now she had an infatuation for Daniel and she thinks it's love, typical of innocent Mel, she is yet to realize that is actuality she likes me.

I had to do something that would make that realization happen faster.

I already knew what was to be done.

Just as they say, you got to go back to the basics.
