Oswaldo’s P.O.V

My what?

Oh shit! The look Melody has on her face does not look good. As cute as her frowned brow and narrowed eyes look, I know it’s also deadly. I just got this girl to agree to have a real relationship with me, now this shit happens. I’m not saying that Melody has anything to worry about, because she don’t. I only love her and she’s the only girl I wanna love. Sure I loved Lisa once, but I’ve stopped loving her long before I met Melody.

“No you’re not! No she’s not, Mel.”

I pushed a clinging Lisa off of me and went to Mel. I saw her breathe a small relief breath. I could have sworn I saw fear in her eyes for a few seconds, but it went just as fast as it came.

I slipped my hands around her waist and pulled her to me. Her body was shaking slightly. I pull her a little closer, letting her know that everything is ok. I feel her body relax slightly. I turn and look at Lisa.

“Lisa, meet Melody, my beautiful girlfriend.”

I think the look Lisa gave Mel was intended to burn her alive on the spot. Mel was not bothered by it though. I turned to my side and saw Max smirking at all that was going on. Bastard! He set this up. He brought Lisa here to try and ruin my relationship with Mel. If the fool thinks that I’m gonna make it that easy for him, he’s got another thing coming. Like I said before, I’m never letting this girl go. She’s mine!

“Max, I should have known that you would try something like this. Sorry to disappoint you buddy, but you’re gonna have to try harder.”

Max’s look was dumbfounded.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about bro. I ran into Lisa, she said she hadn’t seen you in a while, so I thought I’d bring her alone so you too could catch up. There was nothing more to it.”

Nothing more to it! Really? This fool expect me to believe that he didn’t bring my ex-girlfriend to meet my crazy current girlfriend. I don’t think so. I turn to hear Lisa saying something and from the way Melody stiffened, I knew it wasn’t anything good.

“Really?! Her? I left you and you decided to hook up with this Haley Berry wanna be?”

I held Mel tighter in my arms. I know if I let her go for only just a second, she’d be all up on Lisa.

“Bitch, I’ll be Haley Berry any day than Hugh Hefner plaything.”

I tried to hold her back, but she wasn’t having any of it. Melody moved out of my arms and up in Lisa’s face. I could see that for all the bravado Lisa was showing, she was terrified of Mel.

“Mouth up to me one mo time and Imma slap the white right out of you. You got that, Liissa?”

She was so close you’d think they were bout to kiss. I grabbed her hands to pull her back. I think that was the wrong move. I should have just left her because she turned her rage on me. Her eyes were narrowed, teeth clenched and her muscle was moving in her face. She starts walking towards me and with every word she said her voice got higher.

“Is there no end to any of this?! First your mother, then my parents, then your father, now her!! I don’t know if I can take any more of this Richie! What does this say about our relationship if at every turn there’s something blocking our path? Tell me Richie? Are we kidding ourselves, pursuing a relationship that destine to fail?” 

Fail! I don’t intend to let our relationship fail because I don’t intend to ever let her go. I’d kidnap her if I have to. She’s mine and only mine!

She walked off leaving us all. I’m more pissed off than I’ve ever been. I’ve seen Melody upset before, I’ve even seen her cry. However, I’ve never seen her look broken and defeated. I turned my anger on the person who’s the root cause of Melody’s pain. Max!

“GET. THE. F***. OUT. OF. MY. HOUSE. NOW!!!”

I can see a bit of remorse on Max’s face but I’m too angry to care. The main fact that he did something to hurt Melody, makes my hatred for him multiply ten folds. Yeah, we were once friends but the shit that he’s been doing to break Melody and I up has sunk that ship.

I’m talking to this punk ass, but he’s not moving. What the… I must be talking through my ass because this dude is looking at me like shit’s amusing!

“Max just get the hell out of my house! You claim to love Melody but all you’ve been doing is hurting her by trying to hurt me.”

I turn to face Lisa, who was now sitting on a sofa in front of the fire place. My eyes were drown to the two pink bags she had planted at her feet. That can’t be what I think it is? Is she… No she wouldn’t. I turned to Max.

“She’s not staying here! Take her and get the f*** up out of my house!”

Lisa gasped and I turn to her. She starts walking over to me. Her lips are pouted and she batting her eyes.

“Ozzy, we shared more than a house before. Why are you being so mean to me know? Don’t you love me anymore?”

Love her? Is she for real? Did she not just see my girlfriend?

“Hell no! Look Lisa, we had our moment and it was good but it’s over and has been over for quite some time. I’m sorry but you can’t stay here. I have a girlfriend whom I love very much. I’ve moved on and so should you.”

She looking at me know like every word I said was in a different language.

“You love her? Her? How could you love her? She’s so obviously black and poor and… And black!”

This is starting to piss me off even more.

“And your point is?”

My eyes are hard when I looked at her, daring her to repeat what she just said. She’s not backing down. She place her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes at me. I see a hint of the Lisa I know.

“You can’t be serious about her Oswaldo? You’ve had your fun playing house with the poor black girl from the ghetto, now I’m back you can get rid of her.”

I looked at her like she’s insane. Did she really think that I’ve been waiting until she had enough of sleeping with every guy she can? Yeah, I did miss her but that was before I met Melody. With Melody I know what it is to truly love someone and have that love be returned. 

“Get this through your thick skull. I do not want you nor will I ever want you! I’d rather play house with her than with you. Stop not now Lisa, don’t embarrass yourself anymore that you already have. Begging for a man does not suit you.”

She looked about to protest. However, whatever she was going to say was hindered by Melody.

“Bitch did you not hear him?! He said he ain’t want yo thirsty ass. I might be ghetto but trick I ain’t desperate. Yo ass want a dick so bad you’re willing to beg for it?”

A smile appeared on my face. That mouth of her is so much of a turn on. I know you guy must be saying, “What the hell!” But I’m turned on by her sassiness. Hell, everything about her turns me on.

She walks over to me and slid her hand into mine. She looked up at me and give a slight smile. I couldn’t resist. I pulled her close to me and kissed her hard on the lips. I didn’t care that Max and Lisa are watching. Let them watch. This girl is mine.

Slowly I pull away from her. I see that her eyes are still closed. I chuckled, I love that I have that effect on her.

She opens her eyes and smile then she turns and face Max and Lisa.

“Max you need to leave. Take the bunny and leave, please.”

Max made to say something, but Melody held up her hand. Stopping him.

“I ain’t trying to hear yo excuses Max. Just please go.”

There’s a grim look on Max’s face but he nodded and turn towards the door. Lisa on the other was not moving.

“Bitch did you not hear me? Did I not speak clear enough for yo pompous ass? Ok then let me try saying it again.”

I chuckled. I know I shouldn’t but I couldn’t help it. Lisa looked horrified to be spoken to like that. She flicked her hair then rolled her eyes at Melody. Melody stepped closer to her.

“Leave, get to steppin, bounce, adios, take a hike, beat it, scram, shoo! I don’t care which one you pick, just do it now!”   

I hear Max swore under his breath, just before he said.

“Lisa, come on let go. Don’t embar…”

“Shut up Max! This trash has no right to talk to me like that. Who the hell does she think she is?”

To make matters worse. Lisa returned back to the sofa she was sitting in before. She crossed her legs and sit back. I saw Melody’s jaw dropped. I was too shocked and amused to do anything. Melody on the other was already moving towards her.

“Sweetie, this ain’t the playboy mansion and Richie ain’t Huge Hefner. He’s only allowed to have one girlfriend and that my dear is me. So get yo skinny ass up and get out!!”

Shit was getting out of hand. Lisa isn’t moving but Melody was. Melody picked one of Lisa’s bags and threw it into the fire. Yes, you heard me right. Right into the fire it went.

Lisa screamed then turned to face Melody who was holding the other bag close to the fire.

“Ohmygod! You just threw my bag in the fire! Those were Louis Vuitton you bitch!”

Melody cocked her eyes and threw the other bag in with the first one. Lisa started screaming harder. She’s screaming so loud I think my ears drums are about to pop. She turns and look at me. The shock look still on her face.

“You’re just going to stand there and let her do this to me?!”

I didn’t even get the chance to answer. Melody moved in front of Lisa, blocking her from seeing me. I know I should be stopping whatever is going here but I know if I don’t let Melody deal with this herself, my chances of her being my girlfriend will be slim to none. I look over to Max and saw that even he knew better than to intervene. So sorry Lisa, you’re on your own.

“Oh hell no! Listen up Barbie don’t you be looking at Ken because he done found himself an upgrade from yo plastic looking ass. Move it or lose it white girl, I ain’t gonna say it again.”

Lisa looked at me again and I shrugged my shoulders. No way am I getting in the middle of that. She narrowed her at me then glared at Melody before she stormed out with Max following her.

Melody walked over to the door and closed it.

“Louis Vuitton my ass. She’s lucky I ain’t introduce her to Floyd and Mike.”

I chucked. “Who?”

She holds her fists up to me and position herself in a fighter stance. She raised her right fist, “Meet Floyd,” Then her left fist, “And Mike.”
