Is it that obvious that I like her?

I walked back inside to see a waiter taking Skyla's order. She was in the same outfit she was wearing yesterday which was an oversized shirt and a spandex. I saw the waiter staring at her ass when Skyla was looking at the menu.

Me and this waiter bout to have a problem if he doesn't look away.

Eventually his eyes went back up to her face. 

"I'll just get a pancake." Skyla said.

"Of course." The waiter smiled.

Why's he doing so much? Embarrassing.

"You're really beautiful." He smiled at her.

He was acting if I wasn't sitting right across from her.

"She has a boyfriend sorry." I said.

I saw Skyla's eyes widen. I was just doing this to protect her.

"She could really use an upgrade." He winked

He was about 6 feet and a dark skin with dreads. 

"I'll beat your ass right here don't play with me." I stood up.

His eyes widened. I don't think he realized how tall I was. 

"Sit your ass back down right now Melo!" Skyla said. "Don't embarrass yourself." 

Why is she telling me to sit down? I'm the one protecting her!

I sat down anyway. I have a soft spot for her. If any other woman ordered me to sat down I wouldn't listen. I don't know how she does this to me. I swear she's using witchcraft.

The waiter just chuckled to himself.

"I'll take a pancake as well." I said, narrowing my eyes at him.

"2 pancakes, anything else?" He was only looking at Skyla which was pissing me off.


She looked at me. I shook my head.

"No that's all, thanks." She said.

The waiter grabbed our menus and walked away. 

"What the hell was that Melo?!" She said.

"I'm sorry I just saw him staring at you and I had to say something!"

"I'm not talking about how you called me your girlfriend. I'm talking about the fact how you were about to fight him. That can ruin your career, that just started!"

I thought about it. It's true. I could get suspended from playing if they heard I beat up an Ihop waiter. 

"I know I'm sorry." 

She just smiled at me.

"Thanks for standing up for me Melo."

I smiled at her.

SKYLA'S POV

We finished our pancakes and Melo was taking me back to his house. It was around 11:00 am and I wanted to go to the gym before Melo took me out to the party. We didn't say anything to each other in the car. I thought it would be awkward but nothing was awkward. I feel so comfortable with him.
