★ FRIENDSHIP BOND ★
MELANIE’S APARTMENT***
Axel entered the kitchen and imagined Melanie standing by the counter.
He leaned against the door and crossed his arms against his chest, reminiscing the moments with her in the kitchen.
“fuc-k , what have you done to me, Mel? I just can’t get you outta my head,” he mumbled to himself.
Melanie stood by the counter and flashed a sweet smile at him. She beckoned him with her hand.
“Come on!” She waved.
Axel smiled and took slow steps towards her. Just as he got to the counter, Melanie’s body vanished.
He sighed and ran his hand throu-ghhis silky hair.
“This is driving me insane,” he whispered.
He left the kitchen and went to his room, he picked his car keys and then left the house, heading to their suite.
***
A4’S SUITE***
Axel entered the suite and met Aaron present in the room, the other guys were absent.
“Hey dude,” Aaron called surprisingly.
“Hey,” Axel sat on a couch with a sigh.
“You okay? And what are you doing here?” Aaron questioned.
Axel raised a brow.
“Can’t I come here anymore?” He asked.
“C’mon, that’s not what I meant. You rarely come here ever since you rented an apartment, so I’m just… Surprised” Aaron muttered.
“Well.. I was bored so I just decided to visit,” Axel said.
“What about Melanie? You aren’t friends with her?”
“She left,” Axel mumbled and closed his eyes.
“What? Why?”
“Her Mom asked her to return home… It’s just frustrating,” Axel gro-aned.
Aaron stared at him intently.
“I understand you, bro” he said
Axel opened his eyes and stared at him.
“Wait… Do you think you can hide it from me? I’m your best friend dude and I literally know everything about you,” Aaron chuckled.
“I’m just worried. I mean, why did it have to be her? She’s your first love and Ace…. He isn’t gonna take it lightly with you,” he muttered.
“I know, I feel like a betrayer but I can’t give up on her… I love her, like so damn much. I don’t even know how it happened, I don’t know when, I don’t even know why. I just…” Axel shook his head.
“Can’t believe the popular playboy heart got tamed by a timid girl” Aaron laughed.
Axel glared at him.
“That ain’t funny” he stood up.
“Where to?” Aaron asked.
“My room,” Axel replied and disappeared.
“It’s really gonna be ha-rd for you,” Aaron sighed.
His mind drifted to Lauren and he scoffed in disbelief.
“Who am I? Like what the hell? She doesn’t know me?”

BROWN’S RESIDENCE***
Eyes wide opened in shock, Melanie’s mouth was wide opened as she stared at Paisley hugging her Mom. She definitely wasn’t expecting her to show up, but she did. And now??
What was she up to actually? Playing the victim card or what?
“Aunt,” Paisley whispered again, hugging Mrs. Brown tighter. Heaven knows how much she missed the woman in her arms.
Mrs. Brown sighed and pushed her away from her slightly.
“This is not the time for this, we need to talk” she said.
Paisley bit her li-ps gently. She glanced at Melanie to find her staring at her, slowly she looked away.
Mrs. Brown folds her arms across her chest and breathes out loudly.
“I believe you know why I called you here, isn’t it?” She started.
Paisley lowered her head and didn’t utter a word.
“Let’s have our seat first, then we can discuss,” Mr. Brown said.
“Do you know what I’m glad for right now?” Mr. Brown asked after they’ve all settled down.
“That you honored our invitation even after what you did. But one thing is still unclear to me, why did you do that?” He asked.
“Firstly, I never knew my daughter had a boyfriend. I mean, at this age?” Mrs. Brown scoffed.
“I’m 20, Mom,” Melanie interrupted, rolling her eyes.
Mrs. Brown ignored her and continued.
“And then… You slept with her boyfriend?”
“I wouldn’t say it was a mistake, Aunt” Paisley muttered.
“What?”
“I know no amount of words would take back what I did, but what I know is that it wasn’t a mistake,” Paisley mumbled.
“I love him. I’ve always did since the day I set my eyes on him. But, he chose Melanie over me, I was heartbroken. I tried my best to support their relationship since she’s my best friend but he just made things ha-rd for me” she sniffed.
“He was always talking about her, yet he acts nice to me. It got to a stage when he came to me that Melanie didn’t give him what he wanted, which was her body. I…” She bit her li-ps.
“I gave him mine with the hope of him loving me back, it became something I didn’t want to stop anymore. I felt addicted to him, but…”
“You gave him your body even when you’re fully aware he’s not your boyfriend?” Mrs. Brown asked, staring at her in utter disbelief.
Melanie sat there, trying to register what she just heard in her brain. Paisley loves Ace? Like she does?
“I couldn’t resist it, I love him, Aunt” Paisley sobbed
“Then I found out he was only using me for his se-xual desires. I felt betrayed, I lost him and I lost Melanie. I regret my actions badly but I don’t even know how to face her anymore, I can’t even bring myself to pick your calls knowing fully well that I betrayed your daughter”
“I really can’t believe this right now. Even if you love him, does that mean you have to give him your body? For Pete’s sake, you and Melanie are sisters! How could you do that to her? You grew up together, you literally do every single thing together. You are even like a daughter to us, yet you could do something that outrageous to her??” Mrs. Brown half yelled.
“I’m sorry, Aunt” Paisley sobbed.
“If someone is to be blamed for this, then it’s the guy not Paisley. I perfectly understand her plight but the wrong thing here was giving her body to him. That was totally wrong, I’m disappointed in you actually cos we didn’t raised you this way” Mr. Brown said
“But, if we do look at the other side of it, then it’s actually the guy’s fault. He probably knew of your feelings for him and decided to take advantage of it. He played you too, he knew you both are friends, yet he did that awful act, it’s totally uncalled for. I hope I don’t get to set my eyes on him cos he’s gonna die by my hands”
“From mine too” Mrs. Brown shot.
“And you…” She turned to Melanie.
“How long were you trying to keep this from me, huh? Till forever, huh? Till when it becomes too late and you both become sworn enemies?” She asked.
“I….” Melanie trailed off not knowing what to say. She glanced at Paisley who was still in tears and somehow she felt bad. She didn’t even know her best friend was in love with Ace and she dated him.
Now, she understood why she couldn’t bring herself to hate her even after everything.
“And do you know your punishment?” Mrs. Brown asked.
Paisley stared at her throu-ghher tear stained eyes.
“This ain’t the time for tears, Paisley. You need to do what’s right, and mind you… I won’t forgive you for this, I’m so very disappointed in you,” Mrs. Brown said.
Paisley’s face dropped and she quickly got to her feet, she went to her and held her arm
“I’m sorry, Aunt. Please don’t be mad at me, I won’t do it again,” she said.
Mrs. Brown glanced at her husband who only nodded his head
“Fine. Just do it ever again cos I won’t take it easy with you then,” she muttered.
Paisley smiled widely and ki-ssed her cheek.
“Thank you, Aunt. I love you!” She faced Mr. Brown too.
“I love you, Uncle!” She smiled.
“That’s not over,” Mrs. Brown suddenly said.
“You and Melanie…. Can’t believe you both were trying to become enemies without informing us, who does that?” She scoffed.
“You’re to stay in the same room for a week,” Mrs. Brown announced.
“What?” Melanie shouted.
“Exactly what you heard. You’ll be going to school throu-ghhere till the one week is over, or two weeks?” Mr. Brown said.
“Dad!” Melanie shouted, stomping her feet on the ground
“A week is okay, honey. They just need to reflect on their mistakes” Mrs. Brown smiled.
“Gosh, can’t believe you two. Kids nowadays” she shook her head and stood up.
“Melanie…. I don’t want to ever see you with that guy again, and you too Paisley,” Mr. Brown said.
“I’m gonna kill them if they do so,” Mrs. Brown yelled as she made her way to the kitchen.
“We won’t, Dad,” Melanie smiled.
“Good. Now to your room!” Mr. Brown said.
****
Melanie entered the room with Paisley behind her. She couldn’t believe they would be sleeping in the same room for a week.
The room suddenly felt awkward with the silence that ensued between them.
Melanie cleared her throat when she noticed Paisley’s stares on her.
“I’ll be in the restroom” she mumbled.
She was walking to the bathroom when Paisley hug-ged her from behind.
“I’m sorry,” Paisley apologized.
“For betraying your trust, for everything” she muttered.
Melanie faced her and held her hands.
“You should have told me,” she said gently.
“It must have been ha-rd for you, isn’t it?” She asked softly.
Paisley shook her head and tears streamed down her cheeks.
She pulled Melanie to a hug.
“It’s hard,” she whispered.
Melanie sighed and started patting her back slowly with her palm.
“It’s okay,” she consoled.
“I’m sorry for everything, Annie,” Paisley said. Annie is the name she personally gave to Melanie.
“It’s been long since you called me that,” Melanie smiled softly.
Paisley sniffed.
“I love you,” she mumbled
“And I do too, big head” Melanie chuckled
Paisley laughed and held her tighter. She could feel a burden lifting from her shoulder, that moment, she realized how much she missed Melanie… Their friendship.

NEXT DAY***
WINK MODELLING AGENCY***
“Yes, that’s it!” The Director clapped his hands happily as Axel and Sierra Photoshopped together.
Axel was shirtless with droplets of water on his chest, he was only putting on a trouser and his hair was gel to the back.
Sierra was putting on a white silky nightie, giving her the seductive look. Her li-ps were glossed in black and she had a black eyeliner on her face.
Axel was standing and she was in his front, his arms on her waist.
???? He’s so perfect!
???? Look at that toned skin
“Next one please!” The Director shouted.
This time, Axel sat on a sofa with Sierra on his lap, she was straddling him. Sierra was busy staring at his face as the cameras kept clic-king.
“Soooo perfect,” her subconsciousness screamed.
“Stare at her eyes, Axel and place your hand on her waist,” the Director shouted.
“Sierra, move your head a little bit closer to him”
Axel faced her and Sierra did as the Director instructed, moving her head closer to him.
Their li-ps were both inches apart and Sierra lic-ked her li-ps seductively.
“What if I ki-ss you right now?” She found herself asking.
“Don’t you dare,” Axel muttered, releasing his hand a bit from her waist.
Sierra chuckled and straddled him well, setting her hands on his ha-rd chest.
Like that, she slammed her li-ps on his.
“WTF!! Capture that!!!” The Director screamed.
???? fuc-k ing gosh!!
