Oswaldo's P.O.V

More and more everyday Megan looks like her mother. She might have my eye colour and my skin complexion, but her features were her mother's. I loved her more than life itself, but I'd be lying if I said that it didn't hurt me whenever I looked at her. The way she looks when she's sad, or the beautiful smile that appears on her face when she's happy was all Melody.

I've tried to find her, I was still trying to find her, but wherever she was she didn't want to be found. I'm not giving up though, I'd never give up. I was going find her, there was no way I wasn't letting my daughter meet her mother.

You guys must be wondering if I've given up hope on us ever being together, I can honestly say I don't know. I still loved her, I don't think I'd ever stop loving her. People say when you lose one love give it time and you'll find another. Well, I don't believe that will ever happen for me, I had my one true love and it was her, and even if I never get to be with her, she'll still be the love of my life.

I've started a kind of a relationship with Isabelle, I wouldn't say it's serious but it's not, not serious either. Megan absolutely loved her and it was nice having someone else around. It was nice to have someone to do things with, like take Megan to the park or play group, making dinner or watching a movie together. I enjoy the company.

I never meant for it to go further than friendship. But it wasn't like I was blind to the fact that she had feelings for me. Her eyes would fill with heat whenever she looked at me, and those sexy as sin dresses she would wear to get my attention really had my libido going. I'd be lying if I say I didn't find her attractive, she's a beautiful woman, with a great body and she was flaunting it at me whenever she got the chance.

My desire took over that night when I kissed her and we ended up having sex. It was great, but it was different, and afterwards deep within my soul I felt like I'd betrayed Melody somehow.

I remember getting up from the sofa to go in my study. I took the picture I kept of her in my desk drawer and stared at it for hours. My beautiful Melody, my music to my heart. The only woman I was willing to lay down everything for.

I acted like a dick, because I wanted to forget what happened between Isabelle and I, so I ignored it not caring that my actions were hurting her. I saw that she tried to act like it didn't, but her silence was a dead giveaway. Those who know Isabelle knows that silence was not her forte. Getting her to stop talking was like winning the lottery.

After a while, I decided to give my relationship with Isabelle a change, taking things slow of course. I decided that I would not sleep with her again until I was sure 100% sure that I was committed to the relationship. I didn't want to give her false hope. So, I mainly just hold her hand and kiss her a few time, never letting it get further than that. Although I could see that Isabelle wanted it to go further.

"You, taking your girl out tonight to that hot new club that just opened up. You know, the one called Harmony. I heard that it's owned by Connor Ledrick, the dude names the club after his girl."

Marvin Dannay, the captain of the swim team asked while trying to bench press 70kg weights. I could see that he was struggling, but the fool would not give up and accept defeat. After trying unsuccessfully to lift it, he gave up. Getting up from the bench, he threw up his hands in defeat.

Jaxon Jones, the captain of the basketball team took his place on the bench while mouthing, "Sucka."

"I don't think so man, I've got Megan to think about. I can't very well take a baby to the club."

That wasn't my only reason for not wanting to go, I didn't want to run into Harmony or Connor. I've kept in contact with them, but mostly I stayed away from everyone after Melody left. If the guy ever finds out that I know the owners of Club Harmony, they'd be on my ass to get them in for free.

"Dude, what about that smoking hot babysitter of yours? Get her to watch the kid, I bet you haven't been to a club since she was born. You're running low on your game and it's bout time you charge up."

I rolled my eyes at Marvin, he never gives up about Jessa.

"I don't know, I'll think about it."

"You do that, in the meantime, why don't you give me Jessa's number and I'll see if she'll be willing to keep the kid for you. And while I'm at it I can find out if she's got a man because that ass desperately needs some tapping and since you're not doing it, I will."

Jaxon and Delray Elton who is actually the captain of the ice hockey team, both laughed and cheered him on. I become friends with Marvin on my first day of college. I remember him coming to me and saying, "Dude, you smell like money, and anybody with money is a friend of Marvin."

It was the weirdest thing for a guy to do, but after he started following me around, and after my failed attempt to be a loner, I relented and accepted his forced friendship. Then he introduced me to Delray and Jaxon.

Delray was an ok guy, he like to have lots of girls at one time, but he always told them about each other. When I asked him why, his reply was, "I don't want to accidently call one of my ladies the wrong name and get into trouble. If they all know about each and they still stay then they accept that stupid shit like that will happen, so they can't get mad about it."

Jaxson on the other hand, I couldn't stand the guy, so I kept my distance. I only ever hang around him if he's with Delray or Marvin. His method of getting girls was a bit illegal for my liking. He pursue them and most of them would give in, but the few that doesn't he gets them drunk and takes what he wants. I didn't understand how Delray and Marvin could be friends with him.

"Man, Jessa is forty-five, she's old enough to be your mother. Have some respect. Besides, I don't want to lose a really good babysitter because your dumbass is too horny."

"But she looks like she sixteen, age is nothing but a number, bro. And who knows, she might like it."

Jaxson got up from the bench and Delray took his place. He flex his muscle and rolled his shoulders.

"Maybe I should take her number too, the ladies can't get enough of me. You know what they say, once you go black you never go back."

Somehow I didn't think that included forcing drunk girls to sleep with you. Marvin, Delray, and Jaxon were all ok looking guys. And that's all you guys are gonna get from me, I'm will not be describing no dude to any of you, so you're on your own with your imagination.

"That's a myth, bro, I've have lots of girls claiming that I put it down better than any guy they've ever been with."

Jaxson took a swig of his water, then used the towel he had around his neck to wipe the sweat off his face.

"That's because they've never been with me."

"Ask Cindy Mayers, I've heard all about how you put it down or should I say can't get it up."

Delray chuckled from his spot on the bench and I followed suit. A muscle in Jaxson's jaw twitched and his features got hard. He turned his cold eyes on me and my back stiffen, readying myself for a fight. I'd like to see him try, I had nothing to do for the year that Melody was in a coma and then when she left but punched the crap out of my punching bag. I'd like to put some of my practice into use.

"What the hell are you laughing about, I've seen your daughter—"

I didn't wait for him to finish, I jumped from the place that I was sitting, ready to make him swallow a few of his teeth.

"Say one thing about my daughter and it'll be the last thing to say."

My fist clenched and unclenched. I was itching to hit him, someone needed to beat the shit out of him and I was happy to oblige.

"Calm down, man, I'm sure Jaxson wasn't going to say anything bad about your kid. Right, Jax?"

Jaxson smirked then held his hands up in surrender.

"Nah man, I was just saying that I know your baby mama is a black chick. The green eyes and the light skin might fool some people, but I knew from the hair. I bet the girl is probably biracial."

I didn't say anything, I didn't even flinch. Delray who was sitting up now, and Marvin looked at me waiting for me to confirm what Jaxson said, but I said nothing. I down owe any of them shit, my life and who Megan's mother is, was my business and no one else's.

Because he never got a reaction out of me, the idiot continued when he should have stopped.

"Now that little girl of yours, she going to be a looker one day. I might just search her out when she turns eighteen, you know, show her a good time—"

I moved so fast, Marvin and Delray didn't have time to stop me. Pulling my fist back, I punched Jaxson square in the jaw, sending his head whipping around. When turned back to face me his eyes were red and lips were busted. He looked ready to charge at me, but I was ready for him too. Sadly I never got the chance, because Marvin held him back and Delray held me back.

"Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? You can't speak about the guy's kid like that."

Delray fumed. I could tell that what Jaxson said pissed him off too. Even Marvin was looking at him like he wanted to finish what I started. Jaxson looked around and saw that if he didn't back the hell down, he was going to get his ass handed to him three times over.

He stepped back out of Marvin's hold, his hands held again in surrender. His features relaxing.

"Sorry man, I was just joking, I guess I just went a little too far this time."

Marvin's shoulders relax and Delray let go of me. The atmosphere when back to normal, but I was still hyped up. Sheer willpower was the only thing that kept me from beating Jaxson's ass and from the way he kept glancing at me, I know he knew it.

"Look let's head back to campus, I've gotta get ready and pick up Felicity. She's been dying to go to that club and if I don't take her that means no sex for me and I won't be able to function tomorrow without it and I've got a game to play."

Marvin chuckled and tap Delray on the back. "Let make sure the dude win that game then." then he turned to Jaxson, "Didn't you say that there a nerdy girl that you've been trying to get with all year. Why not invite her to the club, you never know you might get lucky."

Jaxson laughed, "Don't have to invite her, man, I already heard from her friend that she's going. There's no way I'm not tapping that tonight. Gonna have to buy me a box or two of condoms, cause it's gonna be a long night."

The guys chuckled, but I felt pissed off. "You know what, I might just come to this club with you guys."

They cheered, "Alright, now that's what I'm talking about."

If going to the club will stop some poor girl from getting date rape but Jaxson then there no way I'm not going to be there. And if I get to kick his ass along the way, then that's fine with me too.
