Whatever It Takes

What's In Your Pocket?

Melanie POV
Finally arriving back home, the next morning I quickly shower and decide to check my social media because I haven't done that in a while

To my surprise my notifications are blowing up and some comments are nice and others not so nice

Ignoring it all I decide to go to Jarvis' house unexpectedly

The first two times I rung his doorbell he didn't come, but the third time the door swung open

"WHO IS--Oh you didn't tell me you were coming"

"I didn't think you would answer" I reply sassily

"Why'd you come?" he asks not inviting me in

"To see my best friend, what's going on?" I ask trying to look inside his house, but the door is basically closed

"Right now isn't a good time" he says completely shutting the door and stepping outside

"Hiding something or someONE?" I'm extremely irritated now at how Jarvis has been acting lately

"Don't worry about it Melanie, you don't see me in your business do you?"

"Actually, I do, I don't know why you can't just tell me who you're dating we've been friends for--"

"MELANIE DROP IT" he yells at me

"Fine..." I drift, Jarvis is always super secretive with his relationships so I guess he'll tell me when he's ready

Jarvis POV
"What made you go to California with Odell?" I ask already knowing what she'll say

"I wanted to do something fun and that was his idea of fun"

"Hmm, I'll see you tonight I guess" I say getting ready to talk to my other unexpected guest inside

"What's tonight?" she asks confused

"Team dinner, Odell didn't tell you?" I ask biting my tongue

"No should he have told me..."

"I thought he would've mentioned it, anyway I have practice soon so I'll talk to you later alright Mel"

She finally leaves but knowing Melanie she's not going to let this go

Walking back inside I see Brenda, Odell's ex girlfriend still sitting on my couch

"What do you want Brenda" I ask annoyed

"I want my man back, what is he doing going to California with that bit--"

"Aye that's my best friend, don't talk about her like that"

"Ok, well the point is she stole my man and I need your help getting him back" she says walking over to me

"I'm afraid that's not my place"

"I guess I'll just have to pay Odell a visit myself" she responds awkwardly rubbing my shoulder

"Good luck with that" I say shoving her off

"Tell your friend to watch out k" with that she finally leaves
