The Singing Serpant

Jealousy is Venomous

Harland Trailer
Melody's POV

To say I was nervous was an extreme understatement. It was like a drum had replaced my heart and it was in the middle of a solo. Suddenly, the solo halted when a knock sounded from the front door. I can hear mom open the door, so I peeked out of my room.

"You must be Jonas. Please, come in. I'm sure Melody will be right out." Her mother says with a warm and welcoming smile. Then, his foot came through the door. The drummer began to play again as soon as I could see his face.

Damn. He is hot.

I quickly shut the door and race back to my mirror, giving myself one last look over.

Do I look okay?

I hope so.

Here goes nothing.

With one last deep breath, I open the door and make my way into the livingroom. I find him in small talk with my mother. When they see me they stop. A grin spreads on Jonas's face as approaches me.

"Wow, Birdie. You look beautiful." He says before handing me a single red rose.

I take it and a blush fills my cheeks. "Oh, Jonas. Thank you!" I wave to my mother goodbye and tell her I love her before we head out.

The ding from the bell above Pop's door brought me back down to Earth. This was actually happening. I'm on a date.

We sit a booth and look at the menus.

3rd POV

Unbeknownst to Melody and Jonas, just across the room sat Sweet Pea and Fangs.

"Dude, what are we doing here? They have hamburgers and fries at the Wyrm." Fangs asks confused as he looks over his menu.

"You and I both know that the Wyrm burgers can't come close to Pop's." Sweet Pea replies. Suddenly, he sits up a bit straighter and seems distracted by something, which doesn't go unnoticed.

Fangs looks over at what is distracting his friend and immediately rolls his eyes. "Seriously, Dude? That's why we are here? To spy on Birdie's date?"

Sweet Pea immediately gets defensive and scoffs. "Of course not! I-I completely forgot they were coming here."

He hoped his explanation would work, but by the deadpan looks on his best friend's face, he knew he was caught.

A deep sigh leaves his lips. "Okay! Fine! I was just wanting to be sure he wasn't a total dick."

Fangs, amused by this revelation, smirks at his friend. "You care about her."

"Hey!" Sweet Pea objects, pointing at Fangs. "I don't give a shit about her. I'm more scared for the pretty boy if he hurts her."

Fangs laughs and holds his hands up in surrender. "Whatever helps you, Pea."

When their food comes and they are half way in their meal, Sweet Pea looks over at the couple. Melody is laugh at something Jonas has said. That twang in his stomach came back.
