Pretty Hostile

"So Melody, how was your day today?" I said, trying to be polite. I was sitting at our kitchen table and she was on the couch on the other side of the room.

Melody whipped out her phone and started texting, not even so much as a glance in my direction. After a minute, she said, "It was fine, but don't talk to me, Dyke."

Did she just say that? I didn't think people actually used that as an insult these days. I have a thick skin, so I couldn't help but be more amused than insulted. "Excuse me?" I replied.

This time she glanced up and looked me right in the eye. "You heard me. I know who you are."

I got up and moved to the chair next to her. "Oh really? Then who am I?" I smiled innocently.

She continued her scornful gaze. "When we were helping Monica move in, I saw you with that girl. I saw you sin with my very eyes."

Ah that explained it. Lily and I were still together then, and we may have been busy when Monica was trying to move in. Guess we weren't as sneaky or clever as we thought we were.

Again, I didn't really care that anyone saw us, but her attitude was starting to get to me now. I've finally gotten to a place in my life where I'm not ashamed of who I am. I can finally be me and fuck women in peace. People like her made my life awful for so many years. I can't stand intolerance.

So, maybe it was the sinful devil inside of me, but I decided to mess with Melody. Monica might hate me for this, but hey I babysat for her. She would have been just fine on her own.

"Oh you saw my little show, huh?"

She scoffed. "Show?!" then she composed herself. "It doesn't matter. I suppose you can show the devil himself while you're burning in hell."

"I'm sorry you didn't appreciate it," I continued, ignoring her comments. "I was hoping Monica would notice."

She jumped up from the couch. Her small frame was hardly intimidating, but she stood over me nonetheless. "You stay away from Monica you rancid slut! Monica is a brilliant, smart woman with a great future, and I don't want you poisoning her with your whorish taint."

I grinned.
