Something I wasn't Looking For (GXG)

Ch 6

Melanie's Point of View



I woke up around 11am to use the restroom, I figured that everyone would still be asleep. When I was heading down the hall to the restroom I heard a door open. I turned around and saw that it was Jackie she gave me a shy smile "Good morning Melanie" she looked so hot in black Giants booty shorts, orange Giants tank top and her hair in a pony tail. "Good Morning did I wake you?" She shook her head no "I have actually been up for the last 10 min. So I decided to just get up and make me some breakfast. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you there should be an extra toothbrush in one of the drawers in the restroom."



"Ok thanks." I was turning to head towards the restroom when she spoke "Melanie" I turned back to her "Yeah" she scratched the back of her neck."I are you gona go back to sleep? If your not you are more than welcome to join me for breakfast." I thought about it for a few seconds "Um sure I will be glad to join you." "Is French toast ok? or do you want to have something else?" I gave her a reassuring smile "French toast is perfect I will be down in like 5 min." she nodded her head "Ok" and headed down stairs.



I'm mentally kicking myself why did I agree to have breakfast with her? Better question why do I keep checking her out? Why can't I help but think she's beautiful? I know why I just don't know if I want to admit it to myself yet or ever. Besides nothing will come of it, I think her and Emma have a thing for each other. They are always flirting or touching, and I can't help but feel jealous when I see them like that. Ugh I need to get over these feelings I'm having towards Jackie.



When I went into the kitchen I saw Jackie mixing the coating for the French toast. I walked towards her to the island "Do you need any help?" She looked thoughtful "Um can you take out the butter and turn on the stove so the pan can heat up please" as she said that she pointed to the cub-bard where the pan was at. When I was done doing as she asked I went to stand next to her and looked up to her. "Anything else?" she turned and looked at me with a thoughtful expression "Um can you pass me the bread." As I handed her the bread our fingers touched and as always when I touch her tingles ran through my body.



I noticed that she looked at my forehead then down to my eyes. She had a curious expression on her face. I looked at her with an arched expression. "Is there something on my forehead?" she shook her head no "I'm so sorry for staring its just that I had never noticed the scar on your forehead." She had an apologetic expression on her face. She looked so cute I smiled at her "Oh don't worry about it I'm used to it." She put the bread in the coating "Still I shouldn't have just been looking. Do you mind me asking how did you get it?" I giggled "I don't mind actually I've had it for about 24 years. When I was 2 years old I was outside playing, I tripped and fell on a brick walkway we had in front of our house. I ended up having to go to the hospital and got 14 stitches." "Dam that sucks, not about the scar its not even big I think it makes you look more beautiful. What sucks is the 14 stitches." I blushed as she said the scar made me look more beautiful nobody has ever said that.



"Nobody has ever said that, thanks for saying that." she looked dumb founded "Are you being serious nobody has said that to you?" I shook my head no "Well then people are stupid because you do." I blushed again. With that she turned to the stove and started cooking the French toast. When they where done she took out two plates put French toast on both and sprinkled them with some powdered sugar. She took them to the breakfast nook and set them down. She went to the fridge and opened it, and took out the maple syrup. "What would you like to drink I brewed some coffee, we also have milk and orange juice" I thought about it for a second "I will take orange juice please." She took out silverware from a drawer and handed it to me "How about you take these to the table and I will take you your drink." "Sounds good" after about a minute or two she handed me a glass of juice while she had a mug in her other hand.



We sat there for like a minute in silence enjoying the food. It was delicious by the way maybe the best French toast I have ever had. I broke the silence "The food is delicious by the way thank you." she took a sip of her coffee "It's no problem I'm glad you like it" I giggled "I don't just like it I love it. How did you learn to make them." she looked up from her plate "Well I wanted to make French toast one day so I went online for a simple French toast recipe. It tasted ok but me being a food network freak at the time I added a few extra ingredients and make it my own." I was curious to know how long ago that was. "How long ago was that?" It looked like she was thinking "Um it was about 10 years ago. It was a Saturday my parents and my siblings where out, Alex and I where home alone and hungry. I did one to test the recipe and then added the other ingredients and wrote it down the adjustments on the recipe. I find cooking relaxing apart from working out."



I laughed "I'm sorry I didn't mean to laugh its just that I didn't picture you as the cooking type. The working out type yes obviously seeing how you were able to carry me but not the cooking type." She furrowed her eyebrows then laughed. "Well we don't really know much about each other. How about we use this time to get to know each other lets play 20 questions, how dose that sound?" I thought about it "Fine you could ask first." I'm glad now I'm gona get to know more about her and maybe get some questions answered.

"Purple. how about you?"

"Well I like horror but I guess it depends on the mood I'm in but I'll watch almost anything. Who is your favorite actor?"



"Robin Williams. You?"

"Flowers. But I like chocolates, too. It's the thought that counts. What's yours?"



"Flowers I don't know I'm just a hopeless romantic at heart. What quality do you look for in a person you want to date?"



"It has to be the Eyes. I think they tell everything. And I have a weakness for colored eyes. How about you?"



"I have to agree. I also have a weakness for colored eyes but whats my kryptonite are green eyes I'm a sucker but lately it has been blue eyes. What was your favorite subject in high school?"



"I had three English, Health, and History. What were yours?"



"It was P.E. and History. Are you ready for the final question?"



"Yup bring it on."



"I have been dying to know are you a natural red head?"



I couldn't help but giggle "No I'm not a natural red head. I'm a natural Blond, I wanted to try and be a red head for at least a year and I have like 3-4 more months."



"Wow you could have fooled me I don't know how you look as a blond but I like the red hair."



I couldn't help but blush I didn't ask her any different questions through out the whole game because she had good ones but I couldn't help but know the answer to my question. "Ok your final question. Is there something going on between you and Emma?"



As soon as that question left my mouth she started laughing. "No there is nothing going on between Emma and I. Why the question?" I blushed "Its just that the last two times I saw you meaning Sunday and yesterday you both seem to be flirtatious and touchy with each other and I guess I'm just being both curious and nosy." I didn't mention the fact that I was jealous because I have only known the girl for a week and just until today I learned more about her.



"Well I could see why you would ask that. You are not the first either both our ex's would ask us all the time. Especially since I'm Bi, but her and I have always been like that with each other. I would never look at her like that and vise versa. Besides I'm done with relationships for awhile." I couldn't help but frown at the last part. "Did you have a bad break up or something?" She shook her head no.



"I have never been through a bad break up. I'm the one that typically breaks the other persons heart. I have never been dumped I'm normally the dumpy. It's just ever since I started dating within a month that I breakup with one person I'm already in another relationship. I believe I have been single for six months. So I want to stay single for at least 2 years." I was sad and happy at the same time. Sad that now I know that nothing would happen between us, and happy because nothing would happen. Its a contradiction I know but that's just how I feel.



I noticed that we were done eating. I gave her a smile "Here Jackie give me your dishes so I could wash them." She arched her brow "No your not. I'm doing the dishes your a guest I can't let you do that." she returned me a smile. "Well you made breakfast so I should at least do the dishes." She giggled "What part of your a guest don't you understand? Your not supposed to do anything but relax." As she finished saying that Maddie walked into the kitchen. "Good Afternoon Ladies, what are you guys talking about?" I looked to Maddie to "Good Afternoon, I was telling Jackie that she should let me do the dishes since she made breakfast but she insist on doing the dishes."



Maddie laughed "Well it looks like she is gona have her way." I looked at Maddie confused, then she tilted her head towards the sink. I turned to look and I saw Jackie walking over there with both our plates. I got up and walked to Jackie "Please let me do the dishes" I gave her a puppy dog face. It looked like she was debating wether to let me or not. I made sure that I pouted my lips even more and I could literally see her melt. She let out a loud sigh "Fine! Just stop looking at me like that." I couldn't help but smile I wanted to just reach up and give her a kiss on the cheek but I think that would push it to far, we have only known each other for a week and up until today I got to know her better.



Laughing brought me out of my thought I turned my head and saw Maddie laughing. "I'm sorry but I have never seen Jackie give up that fast she's normally more stubborn." Jackie shot her a death glare "Do you want me to make you some breakfast or do you want to make your own?" Maddie looked thoughtful at Jackie "Umm I think that I will just get a bowel of cereal but thanks for offering." After I was done with the dishes I sat at the table with both Jackie and Maddie. We were talking about last night when a tired looking Emma came into the kitchen. As soon as Jackie saw Emma rub her head she was at Emma's side. "Do you want some pills for your head ache?" Emma smiled at Jackie "No thanks I already took some before coming down."



Jackie looked down to her "Do you want something to eat?" Emma shook her head no "I'm good I think I'm just gona have a cup of black coffee." Jackie made a disgusted face, Emma smiled "Just because you don't like plain black coffee doesn't mean it's not good." Jackie chuckled "Whatever you say." After that Alex walked in "Hey guys." she walked in and took out a bowel of fruit from the refrigerator and sat at the table. "You sleep ok Melanie? And did you eat already?" I shook my head up and down "Yeah I slept great, and Jackie made us breakfast thanks for asking." Emma walked over to the table wrapped her arms around Jackie's neck and put her mug under Jackie's nose "Are you sure that you don't want any?" Jackie shook her head "Hell no I like my coffee with creamer not plain." Emma giggled and kissed Jackie on the cheek before taking her seat next to Maddie.



Even though Jackie says they are just friends and they always flirt with each other, I can't help but be jealous of Emma's relationship with Jackie. It's because I want to be that close to Jackie and I can't.
