You shiver from the cold.

The cold becomes too much for you to resist and you end up involuntarily shivering. Melody feels the shake go through you and looks up at you questioningly. "What's wrong, Jack?" She asks. "Are you cold?"

"No, it was just a breeze." You say, trying to act tough. "It's no biggie."

"Are you sure?" She asks sweetly. "If you want...um...you could come under the blanket with me." She smiled shyly. "I've warmed it up."

Your hormones start to circulate again and you try to keep a cool head. "No, it's okay, Melody, really. Besides, I'm sure you don't want me under there when you're in just your underwear."

"Well, it's not like you can look at me." She said. "So as long as you don't do anything perverted it won't be an issue." She grinned mischieviously. "I can trust you not to be perverted for once in your life, right?"

You're not so sure about that, but it would be nice to be under the blanket. After a few seconds of mental deliberation, you nod and agree with her suggestion. Melody seems happy with the results and lifts up one end of the blanket. You slip in next to her and recover the blanket so it stretches across both of you. Melody snuggled back into your side where she was before and you move your hand back to it's previous spot. Your fingers brush by her bra strap and settle on her upper arm. The skin contact sends shivers through you, and this time it's not because of the cold.

The movie continues for a little while longer and you almost forget your secret crush and best friend is half-naked and cuddling with you under a blue blanket. She yawns slightly and rubs her head against your chest as she settles back in. She must be getting sleepy, you notice, and your mind shifts back from the movie to her. You realize, with some horror, that your hand has been slowly rubbing and caressing her arm. You must have forgotten who you were with and instinct must have cut in. Melody hasn't noticed either, or hasn't cared, and you deduce that she so sleepy, she must be imagining she's with Keith. You don't want to alert her to what you're doing, so instead of stopping, you decided to slowly bring your hand's movements to a halt.

"You know, Jack." Melody says out of the blue. "Gia once told me you were a good person to cuddle with. I have to say I'm inclined to agree with her."

"Really?" You manage to squeak out. So much for the sleepy delusion theory.

"Mmm." She nods. "You've even been stroking my arm, which is so cute." She turns to look at you with a half-smile. "A little creepy, but cute."

"Natural reaction." You grin sheepishly. Melody laughs and reaches up with her arm to playfully slap you. The blanket shifts a little from her movement and the corner of your eyes manages to catch a quick glance at her freckled cleavage before she readjusts the blanket. With all your concentrating being focused on catching a glance at her breasts, you fail to notice that your hand has slipped down onto her side. Before you have a chance to move, Melody brings her arm back down, almost pinning your hand at her side.

"Uhh..." You say awkwardly. "Melody? My arm is..."

"Your arm is fine." She says with another yawn. "It's kinda comforting right there. Just try to keep from rubbing your hand. We're not that close." She shoots you a wicked look. "And don't go any lower. I'm not wearing the most respectable underwear right now."

Your face goes red. She's wearing a thong. She's laying lengthwise so her ass isn't touching you, but it's awfully close and you have to take a deep breath. Melody laughs at you and mutters "men" under her breath before settling her head back into our side. You just gulp and try and concentrate on not stroking the soft skin on her side.
