• Chapter 21 •

Melody peeked her head around the corner of the door, Alex removing his coat. She had hoped that Alex hadn't noticed that Benedict had shuffled his way into the house when he wasn't here, but we can't promise that.

Melody walked up to Alex and he smiled at her.

"Hey. My fiancee!" He pecked Melody on her cheek, and felt her baby bump. She couldn't protest, otherwise it would rise suspicion.

"Hey. How was... work?" Alex dropped his head, combing his hair back with his fingers.

"It was... good. Just had a chat with some friends and had some dinner. Man, she was amazing..." Melody frowned. She? She? Cheating already huh? She folded her arms, wondering who this she character was.

"Who was... amazing?" Alex paused for a moment, realising what he had said out loud.

"No one... Just a colleague. So!" Alex rubbed his hands together, walking into their room and Melody had to follow, in case he found a certain man inside the wardrobe. "How was your day?" Alex did eventually made his way towards the wardrobe, Melody rushing in front of him before he touched the knob.

"It was okay..." Melody smiled, hoping he would move away from the wardrobe and Benedict could sense what was happening. He even covered his mouth and nose to avoid Alex hear him breathing.

"Move... please..." Melody knew what Alex always wanted. Her. Her body. He never wanted a child. It was never his 'purpose.' Sex mattered. Not women. All of it was for show.

Melody trailed her fingers up Alex's temple and he moaned.

"Why... are you doing this? My... fiancee... tempting me..." He grabbed Melody by her waist, pulling her into him and he stared at her lips. They couldn't do anything major, or Melody would be labour almost instantly.

"I'm not..." She pecked him on his lips, Alex pleading for more, but no. She didn't want it. Melody wanted Alex to move away from the wardrobe.

"You are..."

"I'm really not..." He reached his hand round Melody, opening the door slowly, until Melody pushed it shut.

"I need to get out my clothes... you know..."

"You go inside... I'll get them." Alex groaned.

"Fine... I'll make food."

"You sure about that!?" Melody yelled as he walked out of the room.

"What?"

"The last time you cooked, I swear the whole house was on fire!"

"I'll try my best not to this time!" Melody smirked, waiting until she heard a few crashes from the kitchen, then, the coast was clear. She quickly opened up the door, whispering.

"He's in the kitchen. Quick, quick!" Melody and Benedict giggled their way towards the door and opened it subtly.

"See you soon Mels." He lightly kissed her on the cheek, Melody blushing.

"Bye Ben." Her face saddened as she closed the door. Melody didn't know if she'd see him again, but she really wanted to.

"Um... Melody!" Alex shouted from kitchen. "Help!" She smiles slightly, rolling her eyes. Melody knew he'd fail miserably.

"Yeh! What is it?" She made her way into the kitchen, Alex holding up a pan. It was black. She began to chuckle.

"What?"

"You... You burnt the pan!"

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know, but you made it possible!" Melody grabbed a fresh pan from the cupboard and placed it onto the stove. "I'll just-" Alex grabbed her hand tightly.

"Stop right there. Go inside."

"Why?" Melody frowned.

"I'm... going to try and make dinner for us both. Go inside now." Melody sighed, turning around and she covered her baby bump with her dressing gown. Easing herself onto the sofa, she lay back and reached for her phone.

She began to text her best friend.

Hey, guessing it's the wrong time to text eh? - Mels - 5:05pm

After a few minutes, she received a text back.

Nope. Never the wrong time to text :) I don't mind. Even if I crash the car, I don't care. At least I'm texting you. - Ben - 5:09pm

Wow. Okay xD Anyways, seriously, you coming today. Thank you :) - Mels - 5:11pm

Benedict chuckled, of course be would take her. She'd be the first person who popped into his mind.

Ah no worries :) I'd choose you in a heartbeat. :) And Mels... I wanted to ask you something :3 - Ben - 5:18pm

Sure, go ahead and ask :) - Mels - 5:19pm

Benedict bit his lip, thinking if this would be appropriate.

Would you... like to go and... go to Amelia's house and clean up? Go through memories like the good, old times? - Ben - 5:24pm

I'd... love to. Thank you. Yes I would. And I'll stay over there for a few days, take a break from old Alex over here. - Mels - 5:26pm

Okay :) I'll pick you up and stay with you for precaution :) Say... 10am will do? - Ben - 5:30pm

Yes. I'll be ready :) I'll call Liz and let her know about the cake shop tomorrow :) See you then Ben x - Mels - 5:32pm

See you Mels :) xx - Ben - 5:34pm

Melody closed her phone, Alex stood beside her.

"I made food..." He lowered the plate and Melody smelt burning. It was burnt fish fingers.

"Wow..."

"Yes..." Melody grabbed the plate from Alex. "Shall we order takeaway?"

"I think that's a good idea!" Melody giggled and she played with the burnt food on her plate.

Inside she was extremely happy, since she would see Benedict tomorrow. It was all she wanted.
