Melanie storms into her room, the door swinging open with a soft thud. Her emotions still simmer from the heated exchange with Ryan and her mind races with the thoughts of betrayal and overstepped boundaries.

As she enters, her gaze sweeps the room, coming to an abrupt halt on the figure lying on her bed. Caleb is sprawled across her bed, half-naked just as she had left him earlier. The sheet rides low on his hips, revealing the defined contours of his chest and abs.

Melanie’s breath is caught in her throat, her anger momentarily forgotten as Caleb’s eyes meet hers, a lazy smile spreading across his face.

“Hey,” he drawls, his voice husky and for a moment, Melanie stands frozen, her eyes locked on Caleb’s. The tension between them crackles, a mix of unresolved emotions and unspoken desires.

The memory of their passionate night floods back, and Melanie’s cheeks flush, most especially because she did not expect to find Caleb still in her bed, looking so relaxed and inviting.

"Just trying to complete this one mission in GTA Vice City after you left me without a word at the bar yesterday, to go be with a woman that is not yet your woman," Alistair says, though his eyes remain fixed on the screen, his fingers flying across the keyboard, but he rolls his eyes. "Saying that I left you without a word is too big of an allegation, my friend" Caleb chuckles.“I remember mentioning that I would step out to speak to Melanie…” Caleb tries to recall.“Speak not sleep with her right?” Alex corrects.“Oh…shut up” Caleb laughs, heading to the bathroom to freshen up.As Caleb showers, his mind wanders back to Melanie.

She wants to have a proper conversation with him so that what happened between both of them won’t keep hanging in the air like a bad cloud. Melanie was expecting to find Ryan lounging or lying on his bed, watching TikTok’s, since watching tiktok is slowly starting to become his favorite thing as of late, but instead, she finds room service tidying up his room, without any sign of his things around. “Excuse me,” Melanie says, confusion etched on

He disappears like a coward.” Melanie shakes her head as she approaches the elevator and places her hand on the round metallic button to open it, and she steps in like a robot.“What about our friendship?” she mutters and that causes the heads of the three adults who were inside the elevator when she walked in, share glances.“Our trust?” she continues“Did it mean nothing to him?” as Melanie continues her quiet ranting session, they exchange glances and just assume that

    “Where do you think you are going?” Caleb gets up from his bed with quick and immediate effect, as he pulls Melanie back and says, immediately her hand wraps around the doorknob of her room.“Away from you,” Melanie answers him as she opens the room door in an attempt to go out but Caleb bangs the door shut and gets in front of it.“We are not done talking here, and as a result, you are not stepping out of that room,” Caleb tells her sternly.“Wait a dammn minute…do you know that this is my room?” Melanie scoffs as she blinks back in shock.“Of course, I know that,” Caleb answers her calmly.“Why did you want to get away from me?” Caleb asks her gently, refusing to allow her to step out of her room as he places himself gracefully in front of her door.“I need to cool down away from you” Melanie sighs as she answers him.“Well, you can do that away from me but wedding the four corners of these walls” Caleb but she raises an eyebrow at him.“Allow me to explain that to you” Caleb starts

    Caleb's meticulous attention to detail mesmerizes her for a moment before her alter ego takes over. “Just how many women has he done this for him to be this thorough?” She asks no one but herself. “There must have been a lot of them in his life, and now I am here on a vacation away from my crazy ex-boyfriend, but I am allowing myself to enter the league of another man's 99 other women,” she says out loud as she goes to the bathtub to examine the keen arrangement of things.“Is being in a trial relationship with Caleb Wellington the best decision?” The overthinker in her takes over “I highly doubt that” the overthinker in her continues. “Then why am I here?” The logical part of her asks. “If you ask me, your engine needed periodic servicing, and Caleb was the only good mechanic that you found.” Her alter ego replies to her. “Oh please,” Melanie rolls her eyes. “There must be other guys that are good in bed way more than Caleb.” She argues."Of course, there are other guys that w

She has been trying not to let it get to her and just figure out a way to deal with her issue with her mom so that things will not get messy at all.She has also been looking forward to seeing Caleb all morning. For some reason, she wanted to speak to him about the latest development, because she didn’t want him to think that he was the problem, or he did something to her when she decided to go MIA like she always does because she can’t come up with a better option, and especially after the lovely breakfast that he had sent her way, she had even taken extra care to dress nicely after Alistair left her room, hoping to make a nice good impression.She has a yellow and black long off-shoulder sundress, with a slit that reaches all the way to the

    As soon as Kali drops the call, Melanie’s mind reels. She wonders how she will deal with the situation when she finally gets to that bridge while stuffing all her things in the mini-traveling bag she brought with her.“In the next few hours, I should be out of here, but where do I go from here?” Melanie questions herself as she routinely stops forcing her unfolded clothes into the bag.“The only people I know here are Kali and her little family, but I can't even go back there because what if I get comfortable in my sister's house and my mom decides to pay her a surprise visit?” Melanie ponders, and she shakes her head, to dismiss the idea of going to Kalinin’s house because she knows that for her mom to wake up one morning, and decide to visit her, then she can also do the same to her other daughter and it won't be strange in her dictionary.“I also know Ryan, but that man wants nothing to do with me since he hasn’t left me a message since he left, nor has he tried to even call or rea

    As soon as Melanie hangs up the call with Shirley, she puts a call through to Kalinin almost immediately. It tells her that the line is busy, but instead of just letting her sister call her back, she persists with the call until her sister picks up her call. “What the F is wrong with you?” Kalinin asks her angrily as soon as she picks up her call. “Shirley told me that Mom went to Pearl Coast, and I wanted us to agree on what you are going to tell her before you spoil things way beyond what I can salvage for her,” Melanie informs her sister. “What is that supposed to mean?” Kalinin asks pissed. “I figured that you may not be able to come up with something very fast, so I decided to call you immediately,” Melanie let’s get sister know. “You should know that I won’t tell our mother something that you haven’t told her, because I know how she likes to blow things out of proportion and also overreact,” Kalinin hisses as she says. “Whoosh!” Melanie exclaims. “I can’t believe that you

    “Hey, I got the surprise delivery that you asked your best friend to deliver to my room, and I am grateful for that.” Melanie’s eyes sparkle with gratitude as she types the text that she wants to send to Caleb before she procrastinates and forgets to do so. As she types, she smiles to herself.She hit send, but the messages only ticked once; they didn’t double-tick, which can only mean one thing: his data is not on or he is not available.“Excuse me, Alistair, do you know where Caleb is? I tried texting him to thank him for the breakfast, but the message didn’t deliver,” Melanie says, frowning as she turns to Alistair.“I’m afraid Caleb is unavailable at the moment, and that is exactly why he sent me here to drop food off for you, so that you can know that you are still on his mind,” Alistair’s expression turns sympathetic.“Is he okay?” Melanie asks with furrowed brows.“He is perfectly fine, there are just a few things that he needs to sort out quickly, which is exactly why he is in
