A little scary actually...

You stare at Melody for a second as she glances at you from the corner of her eyes. If anything the demure, and slightly embarrassed look she is giving you has you falling for her some more. If that were even possible.

And yet how do you answer her? If you sound too eager would she hate you? Would Alicia use your eagerness as proof? As vindication of her saying all you ever wanted from Melody was to get into her pants?

And then if you just lean back and say it's okay, she didn't have to do it, would Melody then think you were lying about her oral skills (which you are doing your damnedest not to think of the practice she had to have had to get that good.) All this is stuff that is scaring you a bit.

"Are you okay? Would...I mean...like I said I wouldn't be adverse to doing that again. I mean...it made you feel good, and...and I liked the look in your eyes..." She says, getting a bit more crimson in the face.

Suddenly a look of worry flashes across her features, as though she thinks you think because of her skill that she's a slut...or something.

"Melody...You...you know I was actually calling your bluff...or rather what I thought was a bluff. If...I wouldn't have asked you to do that if I really knew you were actually going to do it...I mean I'd like to think that you know me well enough to not be so vulgar, that this is a..."

"I know you thought it was a bluff. I decided to do it for some feelings...for...for..." She pauses for a moment, again looking away. "Jack...last night I saw you in a whole new light. I mean for the past seven years there were times I thought about us. As in US us. Couple type thing." She says, softly at first but gaining in steam as she went.

"Really? But...I mean...the couple of times that I felt the tension reaching the breaking point you always pulled back."

"I was afraid, Jack. I didn't want it to go south and lose my best friend. Well...last night...I...I decided to just say fuck it. Every guy I've ever dated had something that you have. But each one is a different thing. Keith had what I guess you can say is the dominant demeanor. He told me to do things, and it made me hot. Evan had your nice personality, but he sucked in the sack. I'm still not exactly sure how he got my cherry, but...what's done is done there. Long story short, I'm tired of dating someone for and ASPECT of you. I...I want you. Last night you showed the dominant demeanor. I'm not exactly sure if that's the right word...but...I...just wanted you to bend me over and take me."

"You want to risk everything...I mean. I'd gladly, seriously, be with you, but I want you to be sure that this is what you want."

"I knew you'd say that. I was at a loss on how to broach the subject, and then you tried to call a bluff. I almost didn't do it you know. But then I figured, if I didn't I'd just chicken out, and b e back to trying someone to compare with you, even though I know there isn't anyone that can compare to you. I mean...this is trite and all...but I honestly believe you complete me, Jack. And I'm willing to chance it. I love you. Truly and deeply."
