Dive under the blanket

You shiver from the cold, but Melody doesn’t realize it. You want to crawl under the blanket with her, but you don’t. It’s your fault really. You had tried cooking after Melody had left for the night, but it was an unsuccessful attempt. The directions were not clear and all you ended up doing was burning your dinner and stinking up the place. You opened a window to get rid of the smell. It worked but you had forgotten to close it. You try to think about anything warm to help your situation, but it is no use. A cold gust of air shoots right through you. Without thinking about it, you dive underneath the blanket with Melody.

“Wh...What are you doing?” She asks nervously. Melody is squirming away from your intrusion. She is clearly uncomfortable with you being under there with her, but she is not pissed. If she were, you would have been **** from the beating already.

“I’m sorry Melody; I just got really cold all of a sudden. I forgot you aren’t wearing much under here. I’ll get up!” You say. You carefully hoist yourself over top of her almost nude body. When you get directly over top of her, you pause for a moment. You lean in and her eyes go wide in terror.

“Please…don’t!!!” She squeals in a voice you’ve never heard her use before. You fight off the urge to kiss her on the lips and place one on her forehead instead.

“I’m sorry about what happened with Keith tonight Melody. I didn’t want to be right about him, but I just couldn’t sit back and watch you get hurt.” You tell her as you kiss her forehead again, and continue to get up.

“Thanks Jack. It means a lot to hear you say that! You’ve always been a rock for…” Her sentence is cut-off as you lose your balance and fall off the couch taking the blanket it with you. You hit the floor with a thud. You try to get up but you are tangled in the blanket. It takes you a few seconds to get out from underneath it. When you do, you stand up facing the couch to see if Melody is alright.

“DON’T LOOK!!! TURN AROUND!!!” She yells at you in a horrified voice.

“Are you okay?” You ask.

“I’M FINE!!! I JUST DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE!!!” She shouts as she tries to cover herself with her hands. You stare at her body for a few seconds, and then you notice what she is trying to hide.
