“I was not spying on you,” he demanded. “I just looked out my window and saw you! It’s not like I made it my hobby!”

“You sure there isn’t anyone else?” Trent asked after they had come up with a sum of five names.“Yeah, that’s all the people who’ve been in my house. While I may not have ‘enemies’ I’m not exactly Miss Popular either,” Mel replied using air quotes.

The next day, Trent felt a strange set of nerves taking over him as he waited for Mel to show up. He couldn’t believe she had agreed to come over. When a knock sounded on the door, Trent opened the door and suddenly a brunette rushed into the living room, dragging Mel behind her. “Wow you didn’t change much did you?” she demanded as she looked around the room. Trent didn’t reply, still taken back by her sudden entry into his house.

Trent plodded down the stairs still half-blind with sleep. He found his way slowly to the kitchen. With a large yawn, he poured a cup of coffee as he tried to force his heavy eyes open. It wasn’t until he noticed Mel through the window that his eyes finally complied with him. Her hair escaped the ponytail it was in, in several different directions. She looked exhausted as she yawned so loudly that Trent almost swore he could hear her jaw pop from where he was standing.

Thursday came faster than Trent expected it. He started dressing for the fake date with a bundle of nerves eating at him. Nervousness was one of the emotions that Trent hated the most. It didn’t serve any rational or beneficial reason other than to make people act like complete idiots. Though he told himself it didn’t matter, Trent hoped Mel like their fake date. He couldn’t let the boring movie and dinner be their first date, even if it was fake. So he decided to go with his idea.

Trent tossed his keys on the coffee table. His fake date with Mel kept running through his head. It was to the point he found it difficult to concentrate on work. Shaking his head, Trent poured himself a coffee when someone knocked on his door. Opening the door he wasn’t all surprised to see Harry standing on his porch. “Hey, Trentie,” Harry said and walked past Trent into the house. “So how did it go?”

As the week passed, Trent had to admit he was getting excited about his date with Mel. He couldn’t stop wondering what she had planned. He’d tried to pry the information out of her, but she wouldn’t even give him so much as a hint. The woman’s lips were sealed tighter than Fort Knox. Finally, Friday, she told him to be ready by ten in the morning. Again, Trent tried to find out what she had planned, but Mel just repeated what she said, “Be ready by ten.”

Trent pulled into the driveway. When he stopped the car he leaned forward to peer out of the windshield at the house before him. It was a barge brick building home that screamed money in a rustic, southern way. His stomach twisted nervously. One thing Trent had to admit about dating Mel is the number of nervous moments he was experiencing. Blowing out a breath, Trent got out of the car. He didn’t even know why he was nervous. After everything, why should meeting Mel’s family be so nerve-wracking?

Trent drove Harry to Mel’s house. The entire way, worry ate at him. He swore he’d make Nickie pay for this. He didn’t know how, but he was going to make sure she faced the consequences of her actions this time. They arrived at almost the same time as Christie did. She glared at Trent.&ld

Once in a clean shirt, Trent poured himself another cup of coffee. Just as he lifted the cup to his lips to take a drink, he heard a knock at the door. “God, why don’t you want me to have a cup of coffee?” He asked as he looked up at the ceiling. He started towards the door then decided it was better to leave the cup there in the kitchen.

As their date grew closer, Trent got more and more excited. He had to do something that would top the skating rink. This time he wanted to do something more personal, like what she had done by taking him to the fishing spot. Only he wasn’t sure yet what he wanted to do. Trent pulled his shirt over his head and plodded downstairs in search of much-needed coffee. Once he had the steaming cup of Joe, Trent went to sit down on the couch, hoping to enjoy a few minutes of solace, but a hurried banging on the door stopped him just as he was about to sit. He swore silently and went to answer the door. His hand was just about on the knob when it flew open

Nickie paced the rundown dump of a hotel room with angry stomps. She couldn’t believe that…that stupid country hick manipulated Trent’s mother like that! After all, Nickie’s hard work, winning over that old bat, convincing her Nickie was the best option for her son! All of it was thrown to the wind in less time than it took Nickie to her nails! All because of that stupid girl!

Trent wiped the sweat from his brow. He was clearing away ivy from some of the windows. He did love the look and personality that it gave the house but the plant had completely covered the windows to where they let in little to no light. He didn’t think it would be too hard to get rid of the extra vines but they were proving rather resilient. Well on the good side it was distracting him from the kiss. He couldn’t stop thinking about it or Mel.

Trent leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms crossed against his chest, in a brooding manner. His mother and Mel were sitting in the living room chatting their head off like two long-lost friends. He couldn’t figure out what the hell had happened. Suddenly Mel walked into the kitchen with their dishes. “Your mother left for her hotel. She says she plans on being around for a week but I bet she’ll be gone before then,” she told him.
