She's always so sassy

Oswaldo's P.O.V


There she goes again messing with my head. God! I wish she wasn't so perfect, everything about her was just so perfect. She thinks I hate her, but how could I? This woman holds my heart in her hands, I love everything about her, but I wasn't going to make it easy for her, not this time. I might love the shit out of her but I wasn't willing to take any more bullshit from her. I'm done chasing after her if she wants to be part of my life she's going to have to do the chasing.

"Dude, where the hell have you been hiding your game? I envy you man, you've got a hot little blonde as a girlfriend and a sexy as sin baby mama living with you, there's no way you can tell me that you're not tapping both those asses."

I rolled my eyes at Marvin, "I'm not as you say, tapping both those asses."

Marvin and Delray looked at me like I've grown two heads. I rolled my eyes again and shook my head. What the guys didn't know was that Isabelle and I weren't sleeping together, but Melody, now that was a whole other story.

Three weeks ago, on the night when she found out about Megan and I offered her the comfort she needed. I couldn't bring myself to feel guilty after, I knew I should, because I had a girlfriend and I was basically cheating on her. But guilt evaded me, instead it started a craving in me and from that night I couldn't keep my hands off of her. It reached to the point that she never sleeps in her own room anymore. Don't get me wrong, we haven't had sex since that night, but we do sleep together.

I guess you guys must be wondering how she ended up staying in my house? Well, after finding out about Megan, she wanted to spend more time with her, so I told her to stay with us. She didn't want to at first, she said that she didn't want to upset Isabelle, but after I told her that if wouldn't be a problem, she agreed.

When I told Isabelle about it she wasn't too happy.

"No way, Oswaldo. This is your ex we're talking about, remember? She left you and Megan, how could you just let her back into your lives after all she put you through?"

I couldn't blame her for thinking the way she did because I never really told her anything, but for some reason hearing her talk about Melody like that ticked me off.

"I would suggest you stop talking, before you say something you might regret later."

She looked at me bewildered and I continued,

"Melody didn't leave me and Megan, she didn't even know Megan existed. When she woke up from her coma she couldn't remember anything, she was scared and confused so she ran, it's not the same thing as leaving."

Isabelle shoulders slumped, she sighed and rest her head on my shoulders.

"That must have been horrible, and to find out about Megan the way she did, double bummer."

I turned her to face me then kissed her lips. Something crashing to the floor, breaking our kiss, causing both Isabelle and I to turn and look. I saw Melody standing there looking at us, I swore I saw pain in her eyes before she hid it with a smile.

"Oh! Um, sorry I ain't mean to disturb y'all, I was just getting a head start on moving some of my stuff in."

She bend to pick up her stuff and I got up from the sofa to help her. I could see that Isabelle was feeling a little awkward and tension was starting to build.

I scooped up some of her books and she picked up the rest.

"It's ok, you ain't need to help me I've got this."

She gestured for me to hand the books I was holding over, but I shook my head. Not only were they heavy, but she looked like she was struggling to carry the set in her own hands.

"Give the books to me Mel, I'll take them to your room. You should have told me you were moving your stuff over, I would have had it all done for you."

That familiar heat that I loved so much flared in her eyes, I bet if her hands were free, they would be on her hips.

"Is yo ass deaf white boy, I done told you I ain't need yo damn help! Stop treating me like I'm broken, I ain't broken Richie, just really pissed off!"

She didn't wait for me to reply, she turned in the direction of the stairs and stormed off.

A smile broke out on my face, she's always so sassy, and that shit just turns me on. Isabelle made a sound and I turned to her. She looked shocked, and I understand completely how she felt. Melody might be tiny, but that mouth of her always gets her into big trouble.

"Wow! She seems upset, I never thought her to have an attitude she seemed so nice. Um, why'd she called you Richie?"

She didn't have an attitude, she's just sassy and I love it.

"She doesn't like the name Oswaldo, so she came up with one she likes."

I could see that Isabelle was confused, it always confused people when I tell them. Some even stop calling me Oswaldo and start calling me Richie, like Connor. I'm used to it, I even thought about changing my name legally to Richie, but never got around to it.

Isabelle stepped closer to me, lacing her hands around my neck, her lips close to mine.

"I think your name is beautiful, it's very masculine and vintage I love it."

I chuckled and was about to kiss her, but I pulled back when I saw Melody coming back down the stairs. She had that same pained look on her face and it broke my heart, but like before she covered it with a smile.

"I'm so sorry, I don't mean to be in y'all way. I'm heading back to the dorms now anyway, so y'all can have y'all privacy. I'll move the rest of my stuff in tomorrow, Richie."

She walked her way down the steps and smiled at Isabelle.

"It was very nice meeting you again Isabelle."

Isabelle smiled back, "Likewise Meg, or is it Melody?"

"It's Melody, Megan is my middle name."

She cast me a sideway glance, but turned her face away quickly.

"Um, I'm gonna go now, see y'all later."

She turned to walk off but I grabbed her hand. I watched as she stiffened and started to shake slightly. I loved that I still have that effect on her.

"It's late Mel, let me give you a lift back to the dorms."

She didn't answer, so I dropped her hand and I saw her shoulders slumped in relief. You guys might think this is a cocky thing to say, but I knew that she was mine, no matter what happens between us, the one thing I knew for sure was that she was mine. Always have been and always will be.

"I'll be ok Richie, this ain't the first time I've been out late...and besides it's not that far."

All this was said with her still facing away from me. I could tell that the only reason she was leaving was because of Isabelle. I know I should let her go, let her run like she so clearly wanted to, but I wasn't about to let her do an half an hour walk back to her dorm after twelve at night.

"I'm not letting you walk alone after midnight, Melody and that's final!"

This caused her to tense up, I could almost feel the heat radiating off of her. Those very soft hands of hers found their way on her well-shaped hips and she spun around. The scent of her shampoo invading my nostril. The fire that filled her eyes ignited something in me. Her brow frowned and her lips tined, she started walking closer to me, her steps very slow.

"You don't get to tell me what to do Oswaldo Richards, I ain't yo damn property! I done tell yo dumb ass that I is walking by my damn self, so leave me the hell alone!"

God, I wanted to kiss her, but mostly I wanted to strangle her for being stubborn. She was standing so close and breathing really hard. We both just stood there staring at each other. It wasn't until Isabelle cleared her throat that she backed up a bit.

She turned to walk away but I grabbed her before she could get too far away, spinning her back around to face me.

"You've get two options Mel, either you let me drop you back or you stay the night..."

She opened her mouth to protest, but I cut her off.

"...and before you say anything, think about what could happen to you if you decided to walk alone, think about Megan."

I could see that she wanted to protest, but instead she stomped her feet and stormed off, saying.

"Fine! I'll be waiting in the car."

I watched her walked away with a smile on my face. Is it bad that I loved how defiant she was? Who the hell was I kidding, everything about that woman I loved. God! I really wish she wasn't so perfect, the woman had the body of a goddess.

I turned to see Isabelle looking at me strangely, I all but forgot that she was still in the room.

"Um... I think I'll be heading back too, I've got a paper that's due in a few days and there's still a lot that I haven't done."

I nodded and she smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.

I watched Isabelle drove off and then I dropped Mel off at her dorm. The next day she moved the rest of her stuff in, moving into my house and into my bed.

"Yo dude, are you even listening to what we've been saying?"

I turned to Delray, snapping out of my thoughts. "Sorry bro, spaced for a bit, what did you say?"

"Have you seen Jaxson since that night at the club, cause he's been AWOL?"

Just hearing the name alone filled me with rage. If the fool knows what's good for him he'd stay missing.

"Nah, but if I see him I'll be sure to finish off what I started."

I chuckled to myself, I wasn't the only one gunning for him, Melody seriously wanted to give him an ass whopping and I was inclined to make sure she got her pound of flesh.
