I break the kiss "This is bad"
"What's bad?" he asks
"We are moving too fast" I answer honestly "I just got out of a bad relationship and I'm not trying to jump into another one"
"Melanie, after knowing you for a week I haven't stopped thinking about you"
"I haven't stopped thinking about you either" I blush
"So no strings attached, let's just have fun" he says leaning back in and I push him away
"I don't do friends with benefits Odell" I laugh
"Not what I meant" he responds seriously
"Then what do you meannnnnn" I whine
"I want to get to know you more and more" he smirks
"So we aren't dating..."
"Not until you're comfortable" he answers pulling my back down against his chest
We are both laying in my bed now and I feel at peace
Whenever I'm with Odell I don't think of Cam as much
"So...just friends?" I ask as he rubs my inner thigh
"Just friends" he quickly responds
"K" I say turning over and straddling him
He starts smirking again and I lean down and peck his lips
He instantly deepens the kiss and I moan against his lips "Can we still do this if we're just friends?"
"Mhmmm" he answers rubbing my lower back
"MEL YOU UPSTAIRS?" I hear Jarvis yell from downstairs
"Odell he can't see us like this" I say quickly getting off of him and as soon as I stand up Jarvis walks in
"Well well well what do we have here" he says staring at Odell
"He was just staying with me until you got back, to make sure I was ok"
Jarvis accepts that and says "I talked to him"
"Oh no" I say falling back on my bed
"Well you shouldn't have to worry about seeing him again" Jarvis says with confidence
"and why is that?" I ask
"Just know you don't need to worry best friend" Jarvis says pulling me into a side hug "and he will never put his hands on you again, alright?"
I don't answer and just smile
He jokingly shakes me and asks again "Alright?!"
"Okayyyyy" I laugh shoving him off
"So you're good now right?" he asks grabbing his keys
"Perfect"
"Alright, bro you ready to go?" he says to Odell
Odell nods his head and gets up
"Night Mel" Jarvis hugs me one more time and turns to walk out
Odell follows behind him and pulls me into a hug "I'll talk to you tomorrow" he whispers into my ear
He starts to walk out and I pull him back by his arm
"You forgot something" I say and he leans down to kiss me
"ODELL YOU COMING?" Jarvis yells from downstairs
"Goodnight" Odell says kissing me one more time and with that I fall right to sleep
My phone ringing wakes me up the next morning and to my surprise it's my brother Dave
📞
Dave: Hey baby sister how've you been?
Me: I've been better, how are you
Dave: Pretty good, haven't heard from you in a while
Me: I've been busy
Dave: I think I may come visit you
Me: That would be a nice surprise, how's James (my other older brother)
Dave: He's James, how's your boyfriend
Me: Single
Dave: What'd he do
Me: Long story
Dave: I've got time
Me: Maybe when you come out here
Dave: Alright, sounds like a plan
Me: Bye Dave
Dave: Bye Mel
My brothers and I use to be super close, but ever since I moved to New York, we don't talk as much
Scrolling through my notifications I see I have texts from Shannon and Heather
📱
SHANNON😇: WHERE'VE YOU BEEN??? NYFW IS IN TWO WEEKS‼️‼️‼️
Heather😁: Too busy with Odell to remember your responsibilities???
Heather's text slightly irritated me but I forgot about it once I answered Odell's call
