Summer of Exceptions

Part 9

Melody's POV

I got dressed in a black and white printed tank top with a hot pink bandeau underneath, and tucked it into my high waisted shorts. My hair was still curled from this morning, so I didn't do anything new to it. I grabbed my small brown purse. I placed a lip balm, hand sanitizer, and bandaids inside. Yes, I'm that person. Next I sprayed myself with my favourite perfume before walking out to the livingroom.

"Ready" my parents asked.

"Ya" I replied.

We all walked out to the truck and I could feel my stomach doing flip flops. As we pulled up to the house I could see Luke waiting out front. He had on his signature black skinny jeans, with a band tank, and a backwards baseball hat.

"Tell me that's not him" my mom asked "I thought we were over him".

"Just please, be nice" I said opening my door.

Luke's POV

That truck was intimidating. As I walked up I got the feeling that her parents weren't exactly excited to meet me.

"Hello Mr and Mrs Green" I said as I approached the car.

Melody got out and reached for my hand, lacing our fingers together.

"Hi son" her father replied "what time will we be coming to pick you up".

"I can take Melody home if you'd like sir" I offered "my mom's coming at 1".

"I think I'd feel more comfortable getting her myself" her Dad answered.

"We can drive you home too if you'd like" Melody's mom asked.

"That'd be great. See you then" Melody answered.

"Nice to me you Mr and Mrs Green" I said.

"We'll be here to get you at 1 no later. And call if you need anything" her father said.

"Ok daddy. Bye" she replied, waving as they drove off.

"So how was I" I asked, leaning in to kiss her cheek.

"You were perfect" she replied, turning to attach her lips to mine.

"Should we go in" I asked as she pulled away.

"Don't leave me" she said squeezing my hand.

"I won't" I replied "but where are your drinks".

"You met my parents, do you think I drink" she asked laughing as we waked in to the loud and crowded house.

"Mikey's got my backpack, I brought extra if you want it" I offered.

"Luke, you're not gonna get super smashed are you" she asked worriedly.

"Babe it's a party, that's what party's are for" I replied.

She looked awkward and uncomfortable. I knew Melody didn't drink, and I knew she wasn't into the whole party scene.

"Luke" Calum said jumping up and running over to me.

"Hey Cal" I replied.

"And Luke's girl" he added trying to hug Melody.

"How many have you had" I asked him, eyeing the bottle in his hand.

"Like 2 or 3" he replied.

"Try 5" Micheal yelled from behind him bringing me my backpack.

I let go of Melody's hand to unzipped it and took out a bottle myself.

"You want one babe" I asked, offering one to Melody.

"No thanks, I don't drink" she replied.

"And you're going out with Luke" Calum laughed "good luck".

"I'm not aloud to, I can have a good time sober" she countered.

"Hey Luke, where'd you find the nun" Calum asked laughing like crazy.

Melody just looked down. I punched Calum hard in the arm.

"Don't even worry about it, he's drunk" I said, taking her hands and bending down to look her in the eyes "let's just go out back and have a good time".
