"Look there they go. Let's say hi."

I drag Marques with me over to Melanie's table.

"Ugh what do you want?" Snaps Melanie

"There is no need for the attitude. I just wanted to apologize for my behavior. I was out of line. I have to accept that you and Johnny are together now. Anyway, I was wondering if we could start over? All of us are on vacation. Let's not spend it fighting the entire time."

"That sounds good to me." Says Melanie

"What about you Johnny?"

"Man whatever. I do whatever my girl does." Says Johnny looking disinterested.

"Marques go over to the Dj and gets him to distract Johnny." I whisper into Marques's ear.

"I gotchu." Says Marques

He gets up and leaves.

A few minutes later the DJ calls Johnny over.

"I see my boy Darius. I'll be back babe." Says Johnny

He kisses Melanie before leaving.

I watch her watch him leave.

When she looks away I drop a few pills into her drink.

Pretty soon she'll be knocked out.

"Melanie your not thirsty?"

"Huh?" Asks Melanie

"Your drink is just sitting there. It looks delicious. If you not gon drink it can I have it? There's no need for it to go to waste."

"Nah B. Ima drink it." Says Melanie

She grabs her glass and downs the drink.

She sets the glass down and smirks at me. If only she knew.

Melanie's Pov

"Where the hell is Johnny?"

I look around and can't find him.

"Hey Mel." Says a male voice.

I look up and see Marques.

"Umm hi."

"You look pretty tonight." Says Marques

"Thanks I guess. Why you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"

"What I can't be nice to the love of my life. Would you rather I be mean to you?" Asks Marques

"No I'm just surprised. Last time we saw each other things got pretty intense."

"That's all in the past. I forgive you Mel." Says Marques

"You do?"

"Yes, I love you Mel. I deserved it. After all those horrible things I did to you." Says Marques

"I don't know what to say."

"Forgive me please?" Asks Marques

"I forgave you a long time ago."

"Good. So why you with that nigga? You with him to make me jealous?" Asks Marques

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me." Yells Marques

"I haven't seen or heard from you since that night. That was over two years ago. Why would I care what you think?"

"Just don't get it do you? I want you and only you. I don't care what you say we belong together. It doesn't matter how guys you go with or how many babies you pop out. You'll always be mine." Says Marques he grabs me by my face.
