Wine and TV.

Not wanting to let a bottle of wine go to waste, the two of you sit down in her sitting room and turn the TV on. Clicking through, you finally settle on an old black-and-white detective movie.

A few minutes into the movie, Melissa shuffles closer to you. You swallow as she wraps your arm around her shoulder. You rub her arm softly and she purrs, resting her head on your shoulder. The niceness of the situation is put off a little as you can see, hanging on the wall, is a picture of Katie's birthday, with her father David in the background, who passed away a couple of years ago.

The setting is ruined even more as the movie suddenly gains a red tint. Djal has now replaced the leading man and is looking at you sideways. "So that's how you do it, huh?" He says to a suspect on screen, but you know he's actually talking to you. "You take 'em out to dinner? Get 'em a little wine? Bring their defenses down with a funny joke or two? Make the girl feel like she's the only thing that matters? And then you have your way with 'em? Well, let me tell you something, buster! That's what happens in the pictures, but not in real life, pal."

Melissa sighs. "It could, you know?" She says, looking up at you. You swallow again when she starts pushing her chest against yours. "It could happen in real life." A chill runs down your spine. Maybe it's not you he's talking to. You can practically see the gears in Melissa's head turn as she starts to play with your hair.

"Not really." You chuckle nervously. "I mean, I'm sure it could have happened back then, but now?"

"Then let me prove you wrong." Melissa says, with a glint in her eye. She pushes you back and starts kissing you passionately.

You're stunned for a moment before you start returning her kiss. But that picture on the wall pops into your vision. Guilt fills you and you push her away. "Melissa stop! I know David's been gone a long time, but this isn't right."

"I know. But I don't care!" She cries, flinging herself onto you. "I don't know whats come over me, but I need you to make love to me. Take me. Use me. Make me feel like a woman again!"
