Whatever It Takes

We Don't Talk Anymore

Melanie POV
"I can't believe this Cameron" I say as he walks me inside my house

"I know" he says wrapping his arms around me from behind and kissing my cheek

I turn around and face him and say "I don't know about moving yet"

"Just think about it baby" is all he says and his lips connect with mine now

He picks me up and carries me upstairs

As he lays me down he starts leaving kisses everywhere

I would stop him because I've always wanted to wait until marriage

But this is the only thing making me not think about Odell

He continues and my phone keeps ringing

I ignored it the first three times but whoever is calling is obviously not going to stop

"Let me just see who it is"

Looking at my phone it is Jarvis constantly calling me and texting me

Walking into the bathroom so Cameron doesn't hear our conversation, I called him back

📞
"What is it?!"

"What are you doing Melanie?"

"Are you serious Jarvis--"

"How are you going to marry him after everything--"

"IT DOESN'T CONCERN YOU OR ANYONE ELSE, ESPECIALLY ODELL" I yell and instantly start crying "He...never mind I have to go, you were right Jarvis he's no good"

"Wait...I'm sorry" is all he says

"Are you coming to the game tomorrow still? It's our last home game for the next two months."

"I'll see if I can make it...I really have to go now"

Walking out of the bathroom, I see Cameron is sleeping now and I cuddle up next to him

"You alright?" he mumbles

"Now I am" I smile pecking his lips

"Good" is all he says as he pulls me closer, drifting off to sleep again

When I woke up Cameron was gone, but I know he has business to take care of

It's about time that I tell them I'll be selling my boutique and all of my clothes today so I plan to meet with them first

On the way there I text Jarvis that I'll be there tonight and he sent me back this emoji '🤑'

My goal is to not even think about Odell because every time that I do I want to cry

But life goes on and I'm not going to let him get the best of me

I'm still unsure if I'm willing to leave New York and move to Charlotte, North Carolina with Cameron

As I arrive they are all sitting outside and there is locks on the door

I didn't think they would move this fast, but I stand corrected

I get out of my car and they all have the same depressed look on their face

"I'm sorry"

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Heather asks

"I didn't know how...and that's why I was meeting with you guys today"

"Maybe you're too good for us now" Shannon says standing up

"Nice knowing you Melanie" Jessica says and they all walk off and go their separate ways

Great, more people that are upset with me

Making my way to the game now, I have so many mixed emotions

I don't know whether to laugh or cry nowadays

It makes me want to move and just get a fresh start

Finding my seat I see Heather and Sonny again, just great

"Heyyyyyy Melanie, long time no see"

"I know" I say hugging her and hugging Sonny as she hands him over to me

"Hi cutie" I say messing with his hair as he plays in mine again

All he says is "big brother" as he points to Odell on the field

Jarvis and Odell both played well and now I'm waiting for Jarvis to come up

As I turn around I see Odell walking in and I'm still holding Sonny

I mentally panic again and just act like I didn't see him

He walks over to hug his mom and Sonny starts holding his arms out to him

I handed him over to Odell and Odell keeps staring at me

"Melanie, do you want to come out to celebrate tonight's win with us?" Odell's mom asks me and I freeze

"Mom we--" Odell starts

and I finish "we don't talk anymore" and walk away
