Melissa ( book)

Chapter 12

Melissa

When I quickly get out of bed, I end up falling on the floor and making a noise. I end up waking Gabi up.

— Were you hurt, Mel? — She asks, still half asleep.

— No, Gabi, I woke up as if the world was going to stop — I respond, heading towards the bathroom.

I keep thinking about how my life has changed from yesterday to today. My relationship with Edu has barely started and it has already turned my life upside down. I hope to meet him soon and see how we will react in each other's presence.

I take a shower and my mind wanders. Does he kiss well? I shake my head, laughing. Of course he must be a good kisser. I don't even know what it's going to be like, I just accepted a meeting with him, but we haven't decided anything yet. I get out of the shower and go back to my room, I find Gabi sitting on the bed looking very sleepy. I go to the wardrobe and put on my usual uniform.

— Gabi, you don't know what happened yesterday — I comment while putting on my uniform t-shirt. And that's enough to make her wake up.

— Tell me, Mel. I'm suuuuupercurious — she says and kneels on the bed.

— Guess who I talked to last night? — I say, looking suspenseful and holding back laughter. She looks thoughtful, until she takes a good look at me and opens her mouth in a big “oh”.

— You wouldn't happen to be who I'm thinking of right now, would you?

— And that person would be...

— Our professor Eduardo? — She questions, and I just nod my head.

She screams. I start to slap her, because I don't want my mother to hear.

— Gabi, be careful. My mother can hear — I ask, through clenched teeth.

— I'm sorry — she says and puts her hands over her mouth. — But I'm really surprised. Tell me, what did you say?

— Well, I sent him a message first and...

I tell her everything that happened and she hears me making faces and mouths.

— Wow, Mel, damn... and... is it okay for me to know? - She asks.

— Of course yes, Gabi, you are more than a friend, you are a sister — I say sincerely and get emotional. I see in her eyes that she is too, after all, we grew up together and our mothers have been friends since we were children. We always lived close together, which meant we had many nights together.

— Mel, I consider you that way too — she says and hugs me.

— Gabi, I'm still confused... what will it be like? — I ask her after we separate.

— What's it going to be like, Mel?

— Our relationship... I won't know how to act — I say, as I watch her head to the bathroom.

— Mel, let it go, then you'll see what happens — she says and I hear the flush.

- Yes, you are right. — I get up to finish getting ready, look in the mirror and see that I look radiant.

— Okay. Today you are going to kill the teacher. You look beautiful, Mel — Gabi comments as she leaves the bathroom.

— I hope so, Gabi!

We grabbed our things and went down to the kitchen, my mother has already left for her shift, she is a nurse in an Emergency Room not far from where we live. The table is set and the coffee is set.

— Your mother makes really good things for us to eat — she comments as soon as we finish our coffee. She helps me tidy up the kitchen and we leave everything clean.

As it's still early we decided to walk, we went the whole way talking about different topics. The exams that will arrive soon, the work that we still have to do, the annoying math teacher who gave the work too difficult and, of course, about Edu.

— Gabi, how will it be today? — I ask as soon as we arrive at the school door, feeling as if butterflies are flying inside my stomach. My hands are sweaty and my mouth is dry, my heart feels like it wants to jump out of me.

— I don't know, Mel. Let's see what happens, shall we? — She says, squeezing my hand in solidarity.

We enter greeting everyone in our path until we reach the room. The math teacher, Giovanna, who thought she was so hot, is ready to start class. She's the biggest slut. She hits on everyone, without any shame. Her classes suck. All the students look for her seats as soon as the bell rings, and then she begins the torture. The teacher opens her mouth and starts talking in that Paty voice, you know that little voice that is annoying?

Then you might be thinking: Wow, Mel, why do you think that way about the teacher? And I respond: I don't know, this woman, ever since she entered this school, saw me as a good opportunity to torment, I'm her target. She keeps picking on me. Gabi says it's envy. Envy of what? That woman is a dog. Me, huh.

— Miss Melissa, you should pay more attention to the blackboard — the witch draws my attention.

You see, right? I'm quiet and she's already fighting, imagine if she was up to no good?

I decide that it's better for me to become silent once and for all and immediately copy everything this witch is writing on the board. I thank God when the bell rings and I see her collect her things. Then two more classes come until the break bell rings.

— Mel, I want to go to the library, shall we?

- Now? I ask, and she nods. — Alright, let's go.

We continue to the bi library and each one goes after the genres they like most. I go into the romance aisle and pick up one by Nora Roberts, one of my favorite authors. I decide to look at the other corridor, but on the way, I am grabbed by strong arms, covering my mouth and I despair. I am carried to another room, the door is locked and the person lets me go. I turn around ready to scream when I come face to face with Edu.

— Wow, Edu, what a scare you gave me — I say, with my hand on my chest trying to calm my heart.

— My angel, I'm sorry. I had to take advantage of this opportunity — he says, caressing my face, which makes me long to feel more of his hands on me, all over my body.

— It's okay, I just got scared because I didn't know what was happening. Some problem?

No my angel. I just really wanted to see you, even if it was just for a few minutes — he admits and my heart almost stops just hearing his statement.

— I also really wanted to see you — I confess.

— My angel, it will be quick. Lend me your cell phone — he asks, and I hand it over. He moves and then I hear something vibrate in his pocket. Edu smiles and gives me my cell phone back.

— I didn't know how to ask you that — I say, a little embarrassed.

— I didn't know either, but anyway, I wanted to see you. Is it still okay for you for us to meet?

— Of course yes, Edu — I respond happily and caress his face with my hands, making him moan softly with pleasure.

— Ah, my angel, how I enjoy feeling your touches on me — he declares.

— I also liked feeling your touch on me, Edu — I barely finished speaking and I was pressed against the wall by his hard, strong body.

— My angel, I know this is coming very quickly, but if I don't kiss you now, I think I'm going to go crazy — he whispers breathlessly, making me feel more than before the desire to feel his lips on mine. Without giving me the chance to protest or say anything, he kisses me. I am taken by surprise and even moan with passion.
