Melinda's POV:

~FIVE DAYS LATER~

The past couple of days have been a blur I barely left my room unless it was to get food or a drink. I told my mom about Henry and she tried comforting me but I had no energy to fake a smile or laugh so I just avoided her unless I was greeting her. I merely just sat in my room scrolling and reminiscing over pictures of me and Henry.

The girls of course advised me to delete all existence of Henry from my phone I just agreed but doing it was so painful that I just couldn't. There was this little hope or voice in my head that told me to hold on to them because soon he would be mine again. I knew that to everyone one he was a horrible person but I knew him way beyond the entitled brat front he put on in front of everybody. He always made sure that I was okay, he always made sure I felt understood and wanted. He made me feel loved especially when we first got intimate.

~Flashback~

Henry had the house to himself because his father had went out on a date. Henry's mom died while giving birth to him so he never actually had a mother figure in his life. He was raised with very stern molding methods that made him in a way cold-hearted but he never was cold towards me. He was different hence I felt adored by him because he never acted like that with just anybody. His father took care of him or rather spoiled him rotten I always felt like he was making up for him not having a mom.

We were in his room. I went for a quick shower after dinner. After I was done I grabbed a towel and headed out into the room. Henry was sitting on the bed on his phone but immediately shifted his attention to me as I walked in the room. I walked towards the dresser containing my lotion. I started applying it to my right arm, when I noticed Henry get off the bed and walk towards me his eyes on me as I maintained eye contact while facing the mirror. He came up from behind me and lowered his head to my level. "Let me help you with that hmm.?" he said in a husky soft voice that sent all my morals through the window. "Sure" I said with a shaky voice knowing pretty well that this definitely wasn't going to be a very holy night.

He started applying it up my arms and as soon as he was done he had placed one of his hands right above my breast and undid the towel I had secured just like that. He looked at me in awe for a few seconds and soon later nothing was found in his eyes but lust with a hint of desire. His lips began attacking my neck down to my collarbone. His hands when all over by body, one of his hands attack my aching breast as he kept circling my hardening nipple I gasp tilting my head back into his chest feeling an aching pain between my thighs.

He puts his arm around my waist and turn me around to face him. He places his hand at the back of my neck pulling me in for a kiss. The intensity of the kiss deepened as he started using his tongue and I allowed him access to devour my mouth. He also traces his fingers down my spine and I shivered at his touch, and then he grips my ass gentle but yet rough and I moaned right in to his lips.

"Mel-..."he spoke into my lips not breaking the kiss. "Hmm" I whispered not wanting to do much talking right now. He finally breaks the kiss and we both catch our breath not breaking our eye contact. "Melinda, I swear if we continue I can't promise that I will be able to stop and I don't want to pressure you." he says with true sincerity in his tone. "Henry I am ready. I am ready to be one with you. Please don't deny me this." I answer back feeling truly ready to do this.

And with that he pulls me into a kiss lifting me into his arms with my legs around his waist. He places me on his bed "Your gorgeous, you know that?" he whispers before looking into my eyes and I blush under his gaze. He strips himself naked. This was it, my first time. He slips on a condom and positions himself on top of me. "Mel baby are you sure?" he asked wanting my complete consent. I nodded "Yes.. I am". And with that it happened. Slow and passionate.

It was hot and steamy. It was like the world around d us was none existence. I will forever cherish this is what went through my mind.

Core memory. "I love you Mel" is what he said and I held on to that forever.

~End of Flashback~

Thinking back on it now, Henry never told me that he loved me I just always thought he showed me through his actions. I was fine with him not saying it because I thought he wasn't the mushy type to be open about what he was truly feeling. I told him that I loved him all the time and he would ever respond with" I know" or just say the word "love" just to comfort me. *Beep Beep Beep" I turned to my ringing phone and answered. "Hello" I said with no energy to be engaging with anyone.

"Umm... Melly please tell me you unfollowed Henry on Snapgram." Yara said with worry in her tone. "Why are you asking me that Yara?" I responded with confusion as to what was happening. " Mel... Henry posted a picture of him with another girl who I think he is dating-..." I disconnected the call and immediately went to Snapgram hoping this was a lie. But it was the truth. They looked like the perfect couple and so in love. I felt tears coming down my face with all its force. And he had taken her to his favorite café shop, I felt sick to my stomach.

Henry's post*

I thought that he would only share that place with me but I was wrong once again. She looked gorgeous and I started comparing myself to her. Her hair, skin, dimples everything. I then got up and decided to go and hopefully catch him with my own eyes. It hadn't even been a week and yet he posted his "newly found" love. I took a quick shower, got dressed and did my hair into two puffy buns.

I greeted my mom and told her I would be back grabbing my car keys off the coffee table. I didn't think she minded since she happily gave me a smile, I guess she was happy that I am out of my room. I drove to the café that was about 7 minutes away. When I arrived I immediately felt sick to my stomach.

The place that I once loved I looked at with disgust and hatred. Who else has he brought here? Did he enjoy lying to me and playing with my emotions? Did this café mean anything to him or was it just a place for him to trap girls with his lies?

I looked around and saw no sign of the two love birds. I walked over to the counter to grab a seat and sit in silence but with no luck I couldn't have that, because someone stole that short lived silence from me. "Having a rough day Angel?" he asked looking directly into my eyes. His voice demanded my attention and his lucky he has a pretty face because I was about to give him a piece of my mind for even looking at me. He was so handsome and looked like a dream. He was super tall, toned muscles, what the hell was I feeling.

"Yeah, can I please get a slice of cake" I said trying not to sound nervous. He nodded and walked towards the cakes. I then realized I forgot to tell him the flavor of the cake. I was just about to say something but then he placed a plate down on the counter. "Chocolate cake for the fine brown-skinned beauty." he flirts gently knowing very well that he has the looks to support his confidence. "My favorite! Mhhh. Thanks." I said while eating the cake. "I figured you needed chocolate to brighten your mood." he responds.

OMG!! he is flirting, his hot, he likes me and he looks like the type that does no commitment to a relationship by the way he flirted freely with me. And then I had picked him in my head....as my rebound. "It sure is very tasty today" I said while licking my lips while keeping eye contact. And I saw him burn through my gaze. He stood up straight and cleared his throat "Maybe you could give me your number and I could keep on giving you tasty stuff to snack on" he said sounding nervous. Wow that was easy I didn't even do much.

"Sure I would love to taste all the tasty stuff you have to offer" I said while biting on my cake. He smirked and handed me his phone. I typed my number in and handed it back. "Melinda?" he said and I swear that made me blush so hard I never heard my name sound the way he made it sound. He leaned in and looked at my lips then back at me and grinned then went to my ear and whispered "Well Melinda...expect a call from Ross Blasé by tonight" he said and turned to leave when he gave me one last glance over his shoulder...

"Nice feeding you Angel." he said and I found myself blushing like fool and I stopped. MELINDA THOR this man is going to be your rebound nothing more because you belong to Henry and him only and Ross is nothing but a player. I kept on telling myself while walking out the café. I can't fall for him I mean come on this isn't hard...right, right.. Yes it isn't hard.

So Ross Blasé you are here by selected as my rebound. And so the hunt to get Henry back begins.
