Saying it Out Loud

Mel and James were sat close together outside as they continued their conversation. The sexual tension between them was practically palpable. Even as they attempted to cool things down their naked bodies were touching as they huddled up for warmth.

"I feel like such a selfish, disloyal bitch. Lexie is a frog because of me, and this is how I act" Melanie sighed.

"You are always so hard on yourself, Mel" James consoled her "You have been put through such an unbelievable ordeal recently, and all because you stuck up for me. Nobody can blame you for having a moment like that"

"Oh, I think Lexie could" Mel chuckled darkly to herself "But the thing is, having you here, it's kind of reminded me who I really am. I mean, before all of this I was straight. I'm starting to wonder if being around nothing but naked women all day every day made me think I'm something I'm not. Anyway, what do you care? You're with Tina now"

Mel folded her arms and looked down sulkily. James seemed as if he were conflicted as to what he should say next. Chantelle and Maggie were hooked as they watched the candid but not so private conversation.

"Tina is great" James answered "But honestly, I've been trying to distract myself from you. Because the truth is.."

"What?"

"Do you really need me to say it?"

"Yes. I'm not a mind reader, James"

"Fine. The truth is I love you"

Chantelle gasped as she clutched the tablet she was watching the conversation play out on while even Maggie let out a shocked croak. The camera zoomed into Mel's reaction as tears welled in her eyes.

"Shit" she sighed "I'm not saying I don't feel the same way. But can you imagine if anything happened between us? Lexie would never forgive me. Most of the glitches probably wouldn't either. This is my life now and it would completely destroy it"

"I realise all of that" James nodded "That's why I think it's better that I keep my distance from you. In fact, I should probably leave the mansion"

"No, don't!" Mel argued back emotionally "I want you here. I need you here. I have been going though so much recently and having you around has been the only thing keeping me going. If you were to abandon me now.."

"I won't, I promise" James placed his hand on Melanie's shoulder reassuringly "Not if you don't want me to. I'll always be here if you need me. I'm crazy about you, Mel"

Chantelle gasped again as James and Mel leaned in towards each other and locked lips in a tender, lingering heartfelt kiss. It looked like the most natural thing in the world, but the ramifications throughout the mansion would be immense, especially considering how many viewers must have seen it. Their embrace was soon interrupted as Melanie vanished from the scene.

"For fucks sake!" James, now siting alone, exclaimed to himself "Someone has to stop this shit!"
