Chapter Nineteen

After giving Mel a tight hug and wishing her luck, Layla went to her bedroom so Mel could answer the door without Katie’s focus being on anything other than Mel. While she waited at the door for Katie to knock, Mel attempted to regain the confidence she had over the weekend and even yesterday. She tried to convince herself that Katie’s lack of affection at work didn’t mean anything. She could have just been stressed from her decision to fully take the reins of her manager position after only a week of training. But she couldn’t help feeling like the seemingly indifferent attitude was because of her – as if maybe she said something last night while they were talking through text that just turned Katie sour on her. Or maybe she had decided yet again that it wasn’t worth the risk to date. Nothing was working to calm her doubts and insecurities and by the time Katie knocked, Mel was certain Katie was going to be dressed in jeans and a tee and had only stopped by to tell her face to face that it was over. Again.

But as Mel slowly opened the door, expecting the worst, she was pleasantly surprised. No, more like mesmerized. Katie was wearing a beautifully feminine red dress with small white and blue flowers on it and black open-toe heels. The dress had short rippled bits of fabric over the shoulders, was slightly form-fitting in the torso, and loose and flowing from the waist down to just below her knees. The red looked great against her lightly tanned skin and really highlighted her femininely fit legs, and the dress hugged her breasts in such an intimate, yet modest way, that it was breathtaking. Katie looked like she could be the leading actress of a romantic movie.

Katie placed two fingers under Mel’s chin and gently lifted her gaze to her smiling face. “Hello.”

Mel’s stomach fluttered and her cheeks blushed, as she answered, “Hello. I’m sorry I’m staring. You look really beautiful in that dress. You look like a movie star, like someone traveling in Europe or Italy or Spain. Someplace really beautiful and romantic.”

“Thank you.” She gave Mel a soft kiss on the lips, then looked her up and down again. “You look really nice. I love that shirt on you. Have you ever been to any of those places?”

“Thanks. Uh, no. Layla and I and few friends have been to Mexico a couple of times, but I haven’t been anywhere else outside of the country. Have you?”

Katie nodded as she took Mel’s had. “I’ve been to a few parts of England and Ireland and I’ve been to Italy a few times. I love Italy. I hope you like Italian food, because that’s what I picked for tonight.”

“I love Italian food.” Mel grabbed her keys off of the hook on the wall. As she and Katie walked out the door, Mel hollered down the hall to tell Layla goodnight. After she closed the door behind herself, she told Katie, “I’m thoroughly jealous of your trips.
