Once In A Lifetime

Confrontation

Melissa's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. It didn't look like my room. I realized I was with someone. I looked up to see Seth sleeping. I smiled as I remember the night before. I must have fallen asleep during the movie as I do not remember finishing it. It was the first time one of us stayed the night at the others. It felt nice to walk up with him holding me. I slowly sat up as I moved away from him and grabbed my phone from the coffee table. It was almost dead. But I noticed the time and several missed calls from my father. "Shit!" I blurted out.

It woke Seth up. "What?" He asked, groggily.

I rushed up and grabbed my phone and keys. "I'm late. I had a meeting today with the contractor this morning. I have to go."

I went to run out, when looked down and realized I was in Seth's clothes. I looked over at Seth and he was now sitting up, rubbing his face as he yawned. He looked over at me and realized what I did. I went to say something but before I could, Seth quickly stood up and said, "I got it."

He quickly disappeared from the room. He came back a few moments later with my clothes, fully dry. I stripped down right in front of him. I didn't care at this point as he seen me naked now. I quickly got my clothes on. I gave Seth a quick peck and said, "I gotta go."

I started to rush towards the door and he almost yelled after me, "Will I see you later?"

I turned as I backed away. "Of course." I said with a smile.

Then I turned back around and rushed out the door.

I was in my truck, racing to the bar. I got there and quickly got out of my truck. I ran inside. I saw my dad with the contractor. Before I could walk over to him, Cindy stopped me. "Where the hell have you been?"

"I know." I exhaled. "I overslept."

It wasn't a complete lie. I went to move away but Cindy stopped me. Before I could get onto her about it, she said in a hushed tone, "You have a huge hickey on your neck." Then her eyes got wide "Oh my god! That is why you are late. You stayed the night at Seth's. You two finally did the deed."

"No! No, we didn't." I informed her. Then smirked. "But yes, I stayed the night at Seth's and let's just say other stuff happened." Then my smile faded as I asked in distress, "Do I really have a hickey?"

"Yes, a huge one." She almost exclaimed.

I pulled out my phone and turned the camera on. I quickly put it on selfie mode as I looked at it. It was huge, right on the side of my neck. Damn it, Seth. He got too carried away the night before. "What the fuck am I going to do?" I almost freaked. "If my dad sees this, he will have an aneurysm."

Even though I was a grown woman with children of my own, my father was still overprotective of me. After Kevin hit me, he became very worried about any man I saw. I was his only girl, so he was protective of me. Didn't help my dad was a typical redneck. He was the father who pulled a gun out to clean as guys took me out on a date when I was a teenager. As an adult, my dad was just as bad, I think even worse due to the fact Kevin struck me. Cindy moved my hair around my neck to cover it and said, "Just don't move your hair around and you should be good."

"Thank you." I gave her a peck on the cheek.

She looked disgusted. "Don't kiss me. I don't know where your lips have been."

I laughed and moved away. I got to my father as the contractor was talking. He stopped when he noticed me. I quickly said, "I'm so sorry. I overslept. Keep going."

The contractor went back to talking as he filled me in and I noticed my dad looking at me as he gave me a stern look. I tried to ignore him as I tried to listen to the contractor. After the contractor was done with us, he went back to work in the bar. My dad looked at me once he left us. "Where the hell where you, Lissa?"
