Melody'S P.O.V

It's been a hectic week as people are coming to find various genres of novels. Since I don't have any workers in library, I had to show them their required ones.

After reaching home, I went to my room to get some sleep. Last night I didn't get enough sleep because of the nightmares. Just as I closed my eyes, my phone rings.

Argh...!!!! I'm going to kill whoever this is......

"Hello....."

"MELODY JACOBS!!! ARE YOU FREAKING SLEEPING????" I cringed as the sound bursted into my ears.

"Hello to you too Daisy"

"First, answer my question Mel"

"No, but I going to."

"Do you atleast remember what day it is?"

I don't even hear her as my mind drifted to sleep.

"MELODY....."

I jerked up at the scream.

"What Daisy?"

"You're impossible....I'm coming over there. Don't you dare to fall asleep." she cut the call without hearing my reply.

Thank God!!! Atleast I can sleep for 10 minutes.

After sometime I hear someone screaming my name. Probably Daisy. I took a pillow, covering my face with it. She snatched it away from me not bothering my cries of protest. I woke up slowly to see her.

She's standing there with a glare crossing her arms across her chest. I gulped feeling intimidated. No matter how sweet she is, her glare alone can give you chills.

" Do you know what time it is?"

I shook my head and looked at the clock. 7:45 only... I don't know what she's doing in my house at this time.

Suddenly I remembered.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Today's the party. God!!! What do I do... Now I have to face the wrath of Daisy. Let me tell you, it's not a pretty scene.

She did reminded me yesterday.

" I'm so sorry Daisy..." I put on my best puppy dog eyes knowing she can't resist it.

She exhales her breath.

" It's ok! Now get ready. Just because the time pass by doesn't mean you're not going."

I groaned getting up and went to bathroom. After a quick shower, I took a plain black jeans and cream colour floral printed shirt. Its simple but cute and comfortable.

Taking my phone, I went to downstairs for Daisy. As I entered the living room, the scene infront of me made my heart stop.

There's a man around in mid 20's wearing a grey shirt, black pants and a jacket. He was looking at my collection of books. He had to be a burglar cause Daisy didn't say she's bringing anyone.

For a second I thought of him. That he sent this man. But convincing myself that he don't know where I am, I deduce that he might be burglar. So I did the one thing that came to mind in that time. 

I took a lamp on the table and walk slowly behind him to hit with it.

Not hardly though!

Just as I raised my hand, he turned, twisting my hand around so that my back is facing his front. He took the lamp away and seized my free hand too. His breath was fanning against my ear. His broad chest touching my back making me hard to breath.

" Tsk Tsk..... Are you trying to hit me kitten?"

"Who are you? What do you want? How do you enter my house? There's nothing here you can steal" I fired my questions at him struggling to get out of his grip.

Suddenly he turned me around to face him but didn't loosen his grip.

And then I look at him.

Oh man!!! 

He's so handsome. His sharp cheek bones, full lips, thick eyebrows and dark smooth velvet like hair, his face like a Greek God. But what captive me most is his grey steel eyes. His eyes looking at me like he wants to know my trueself. Like he wants to look through my soul. Like he wants to reveal my deepest secrets. His face morphed with an unknown emotion.

I broke out of his trance and screamed.

" LEAVE ME, YOU BURGLAR"

His eyes danced with amusement as he inched his face close to me, his warm breath was now tickling my skin.

" Do I really look like a thief to you, kitten?"

"Yes, if not, who are you?"

"He's my brother" said a voice behind me.

Daisy?!

He leaves his grip on me and I jerked back in haste.

Turning around, I saw Daisy who is definitely trying not to burst out laughing.

After she controlled herself, she came forward and introduced us.

"Mel, this is my brother, Hunter and obviously not a burglar."

"And Hunt, she's Melody, my best friend."

Oh no!!!! What have I done......  

Before he starts speaking, I began to ramble.

" I'm so sorry. I don't know Daisy would be bringing you. Normally, I don't have any visitors, that too at this time. And she didn't tell me you are here. So I thought you were a thief. I'm so sorry."

I was looking at my feet feeling embarrassed.

At hearing his chuckle, I raised my head to see him smiling at me.

"It's ok, kitten. I forgive you" he said smirking.

"Ah.....My name is Melody" I said flustered about calling me kitten.

"I know, but kitten suits you better."

I look at my shoes shyly.

"Um.... Thanks?" I said rather questioningly.

He chuckled at me.

Daisy cleared her throat telling us she too present in the room.

I stand there awkwardly.

" OK. Now lets go to the party." she said coming to my rescue from this situation.

" Yah... come on girls" Hunter said walking to the door.

I silently walked behind them not knowing what to say.

But after looking at the black beauty infront of us, my jaw drops to the floor.

It's a FREAKING FERRARI.

I don't know much about cars. But I always want to have a Ferrari. It's my dream car. 

God!!!! It's fantastic.

"I know" said Hunter near my ear in a husky voice.

Oh shoot!! Did I say it loud.

" Yes, you are"

Again.... I groaned.

He chuckled as he get into the car. Daisy sat in back seat. I went to reach the door but Hunter already opened the passenger seat. So, I have no option other than to sit next with him. As I buckled my seat belt, Hunter turned to me.

"Daisy said this is your first party, Right?"

I nodded not knowing what it has anything to do with him.

He smirked and said " Then you're going to have fun."

Shit!!!!! What have I gotten myself into......
