Stand up and fight

Intense heat

Andy was busy still fighting with himself as he played nervously with the hem of his shirt. He looked to his right and saw Melissa. When he did, he could not help but give her a smile. All the thinking and over-thinking he had done seemed to be pretty pointless right about now because all he could think of was how hot Melissa was. God he wanted to feel those lips all over his body. 

"Ready to go?" he asked as she climbed in his car. "You can put your bag in the back. I won't peek, I promise," he had almost joked unless I have an urgency to find lube or condoms... but decided against it. 

"Ready when you are, dude," Melissa told him as she climbed into the passenger seat of the Jeep, throwing her bag in the back. Trying not to stare, she began to check out the inside of the fairly new car. Only a small bikini top blocked the bright California sun, Melissa noted as she settled back, putting her seatbelt on. She watched Andy put the keys into the ignition, observing those long, slim fingers again. He had amazing hands. He wanted them all over her. 

"So, nice car, man. I bet it's a real chick magnet," Melissa teased, attempting to feel out what Andy's true relationship status was. ‘If he is single, I am gonna pass smooth out,’ Melissa thought to herself, smiling directly at Andy.

Andy grinned. "It kinda is, yeah," he said amused. "Not that I care much about that, really." he said as he put his hand behind Melissa's seat to back out of the parking spot, and wishing he could move his hands just forward to touch the soft skin on the back of Melissa's neck. 

‘Oh f**k, he would have to leave it open ended like that!’ Melissa thought as she almost jumped when Andy's hand reached behind her headrest as he backed the car out. She could feel the tingle of electricity and warmth from Andy's arm near her neck. Her heart raced as she got a view of the long expanse of Andy's neck as he turned to check his rearview mirror for oncoming traffic. ‘I bet his skin tastes sweet,’ she thought as she licked her lips and spun the labret again.

"So, where are you taking me?" Melissa asked slyly as Andy shifted into fourth gear preparing to access the freeway. The air was whipping through the open air Jeep, as Melissa surveyed her surrounding, taking in the hideous traffic they were about enter.

Andy turned to Melissa when he had to slow his Jeep down due to traffic. 

"Well I was in the mood for a good burger, but I don't know if you want something else," he said resting his head back. "It's with traffic like this that I wish I drove an automatic," he said with a smile. 

"Yeah, I can imagine. I got a little VW R32 back in Phoenix, it is a stick too. Course we don't have traffic like this," Melissa replied as she watched Andy search for something on the in-dash radio. "I'm cool with burgers, if that's what you're in the mood for. I'm easy," Melissa stated, watching Andy's face for a reaction, realizing how bad that must have sounded. Easy for you, that is, Melissa almost chuckled to herself aloud.

Andy grinned and looked at Melissa with a raised eyebrow. "Really?" he asked, "That's very helpful information," he said as he stopped on a Depeche Mode song. "It's just that I've been working so much lately, I need something simple even if it is just my food," he said rubbing his forehead a little showing how tired he really was. He paused and looked at Melissa, "That sounded incredibly dramatic, I'm sorry," he said with a smile. "I just... don't have a lot of ways to relieve stress right now. My girlfriend broke up with me a while ago, and the label is breathing down our necks..." he trailed off. 

‘Girlfriend? Did he just say...Girlfriend? Holy s**t!’ Melissa almost squeaked aloud as she felt herself squirm uncomfortably in her seat. I think I am gonna pass out; she thought to herself, feeling slightly light headed. Be cool, Howe, be cool. 

"That's harsh, man," Melissa began, at a loss for words, sliding a finger under the collar of her t-shirt nervously. "It has been the same for me too. Since TU broke up, I have been auditioning like crazy. Plus I've been working like two and three jobs just to keep myself afloat. Although, I've been single for a while now, so yeah, my life pretty much sucks right now. I'm hoping that's all about to change though," Melissa confided and hoped she didn't sound overly presumptuous. It was the honest truth. 

"I'm sorry," Andy said, feeling the strange urge to give her a hug. "I know the feeling. I have been working on everything with this, music, lyrics, artwork, it is tiring. I wish I could enjoy it more." he paused, "But I'm buying you dinner, I'm hoping that counts for something." he said giving her a smile. "And I'm pretty sure I'm going to get you a kick ass job too." he added with a grin.

Overwhelmed, Melissa swallowed dryly. ‘Did that mean she had the job?’

"Oh dude, you have no idea..." Melissa began as she tried not to get her hopes up, knowing she had to impress the others first. "You have no idea how much I wanna do this thing," Melissa finished her statement, getting her emotions under control. 

"And about dinner, you totally do not have to do that...I didn't mean to give you the impression I couldn't take care of my own," Melissa told him as they exited the freeway. The big grin on Andy's face was making her blush again. He was just f*****g beautiful, the most beautiful guy Melissa had ever laid eyes on. ‘You are gonna fall so hard, Howe,’ she told herself.

"Yeah," Andy said nodding, "I mean I really can't promise you anything, because there's five of us. But... I know my band mates and I know what we're looking for, and I think you're pretty much it," he said sincerely. "Unless you turn into an b***h all of the sudden," he said teasingly. 

"And maybe I shouldn't be telling you all this because you'll get your hopes up and whatnot...but I have a feeling about you... I can't explain it." he said looking straight into Melissa's eyes and almost drowning in them, feeling short of breath, "And if they don't like you I'll kick their asses." he said turning his gaze back to the road. "And about dinner... it wasn't really a question." he said with another grin, "I invited you, I'm buying you dinner.”

"Actually...." Melissa smirked, one eyebrow rose, "I invited myself, if I remember correctly." Seeing they had stopped at a red light, Melissa locked eyes with Andy, a heat filled stare that left her breathless and her heart pounding. "And that feeling...it's mutual..." Melissa replied, afraid to breathe or move. She was lost in their gaze, her eyes darting toward Andy's full lips again. Inundated with the urges to jump across the seat and kiss him, Melissa tightened her grip on the bucket seat.

'Whatever. Same difference," Andy said shrugging; he was laughing softly but stopped when he locked eyes with Melissa. Whoa, he thought, that is intense. He could not take his eyes off her until a horn behind him woke him up from his daze. He quickly put the car in motion and cursed for not controlling himself better than this.

The honk startled Melissa out of her trance as well. Melissa knew her entire face was probably beat red from embarrassment. I must look like a complete and total i***t, she thought as she sat silent for a moment. ‘I need a drink,’ Melissa mused as she ran a damp palm through her hair again. It had been so long since someone had stirred her like this. ‘Since Sean. f*****g cunt.’ But that was a whole other story

"Listen, I have an idea," Andy said breaking the silence, desperate for something that would take his mind off how much he wanted to kiss Melissa that was now playing with that sexy lip ring again. ‘Is she trying to torture me or something?’ He asked himself. "After I buy you dinner, we can call up the guys so you can meet them tonight."

Melissa hesitated a moment, listening to the smooth, huskiness of Andy's voice, feeling it reverberate across her skin. She actually got goose bumps, it aroused her so much.

"S-sure, that would be dope," Melissa replied, cursing herself for stuttering like an asshole. ‘This man was driving her crazy. She might need more than a drink, including another cold shower.’ 

"This the place?" Melissa asked as Andy pulled into a restaurant parking lot, hunting for a space immediately.

"Nah, you know... we just didn't spend enough time in slow traffic you know?" Andy teased restlessly. "Yeah. This is the place. And why are you nervous with me again?" he asked curiously as he pulled into an open spot and inserting the parking break before turning the Jeep off. "You had me fooled thinking you like me." 

Melissa wasn't quite sure how to answer that question. Should she tell him the truth or continue with the game? Melissa knew she was more than interested in Andy but at the same time, she did not want to mess anything up. Melissa was really great at messing things up. She wanted this job and she wanted Andy like crazy. Deciding to play the game, feeling exhilarated, Melissa looked at Andy, a coy smile pursed on her lips.

"Andy, come on dude..." Melissa began, lowering her voice to an almost whisper as she moved closer to make her point. "I think you are well aware of just how much I like you. The question is..." Melissa paused, licking her labret, as she glanced back down at Andy's lips before looking back into his eyes, her whole body aroused with Andy so close. "What are you gonna do about it?"

Andy was taken completely by surprise. He was within kissing distance of the hottest girl he had ever met. ‘Is she for real?’ He asked himself. ‘Because if she is not... I'm f****d. Will you stop arguing you with yourself and concentrate on the insanely hot girl in front of you telling you that she likes you for f**k's sake!’ He looked into her eyes again and decided that she was worth the risk. Without a word, he pulled Melissa closer by the neck and kissed her tentatively. ‘f**k, she tasted even better than he imagined.’ He just brushed his lips softly against Melissa's for a few moments. "How does that work out for you?"

Not believing Andy actually went for it, Melissa felt her breath escape her lungs in one gasp. Warm breath and soft lips descended upon her mouth in one rushed movement. Long, smooth fingers wrapped firmly around the back of her neck and sent chills rushing down her spine. Trembling under the feather light kiss Andy was giving her, Melissa moaned lowly. 

All coherent thought left as Andy pulled away, his ice blue eyes cloudy now with what Melissa could only describe as lust. ‘More, Melissa thought, I need more of those heavenly soft lips.’ Reaching out for Andy’s jaw with both hands, she didn't answer his question she just took what she wanted. Fusing her mouth with Andy's Melissa kissed him deeply breathing heavy through her nose turning her face so that she could run her tongue along Andy's fully lower lip not requesting but demanding access.

Andy parted his lips the second he felt Melissa's tongue come in contact with them. When his tongue started moving against Melissa's, he felt like he couldn't breathe, and something sort of like electricity going through his body. His hand was firmly placed on Melissa's neck, as he moved his head to deepen the kiss even more. He tugged on Melissa's lip ring, and moaned shamelessly into her mouth. 

Melissa's entire body hardened when Andy responded to her kiss. Her tongue skillfully stroked the warm and ever so sweet inside of Andy's mouth. ‘This man is f*****g unbelievable,’ Melissa thought as she felt Andy's hand tighten on her neck while sucking on her labret. ‘Jesus,’ she thought inwardly, wanting to rip Andy's clothing from his body leather jacket and all and f**k him into the clothed seat of his Jeep. Melissa's hands ghosted down the sides of Andy's body feeling him still when her fingers lazily met the smooth skin of his waist under his t-shirt. ‘His body was so hot,’ Melissa groaned again, taking Andy for another deep embrace, breath mingling as she panted with arousal. Pulling back, Melissa's eyes fluttered open to see Andy's reaction. His eyes were still closed, lips wet and swollen from their kiss.

Andy was panting. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Melissa. She was trying to read him, to see through his eyes whatever it was that was going through his mind. His hand was still around Melissa's neck as she looked into those amazing ice blue eyes. 

"So I guess you do like me," he said trying to lighten the mood. 

Melissa paused for a minute, feeling Andy's ice blue eyes narrowing in. ‘He was so hot’; she tried desperately to catch her breath. When Andy finally spoke, Melissa sniggered still breathless as she placed her forehead against Andy's still loving that hand on the back of her neck. 

"man, that was nothing short of amazing," Melissa whispered as felt herself being reeled in by the intense chemistry they shared in that moment. "And in answer to your question, yes...yes I like you," Melissa whispered as she moved close to Andy's neck, her lips touching the rapid pulse she felt there. God, he smelled so f*****g good.

Andy grinned. "Good, I didn't want to think that I just f****d up with the back up singer I want for my band," he said, still trying to catch his breath. "Even though I did almost pass out from the intensity of that kiss." 

"Tell me about it," Melissa hissed as she pulled herself reluctantly away from Andy, unable to stop the playful grin from taking over her face. She needed to calm down. Melissa attempted to submerge the pulsating arousal she felt by blowing out a long breath. She met Andy's eyes again, feeling the magnetism and wanting to dissolve there. "And speaking of passing out, you mentioned food?"

Andy nodded. "Right, food," he said as if he was waking from a daze. He got out from his Jeep and waited for Melissa to do the same. He really, really wanted to hold her hand, but given that he had already started the kiss, he decided not to push his luck. 

Melissa slid her shaky legs out of the Jeep, making another adjustment to her jeans, feeling her arousal stronger than ever. This man is gonna make me crazy, she thought as she smiled at Andy, knowing he had caught that sly adjustment. Melissa couldn't help but check him out again, now that his face was flushed, his hair slightly mussed, his mouth thoroughly kissed.

"You are something else, dude," Melissa chuckled as she met up with him on the sidewalk, brushing their shoulders as they began to make their way to the entrance of the restaurant. Melissa pushed her hands in her pockets after realizing all she wanted to do was touch Andy again. 

Andy just grinned as he opened the door for Melissa. "Well I could say the same thing about you," he said with a smile. He was feeling very proud for getting Melissa aroused. Not that he was not insanely aroused himself. He got in line and turned to Melissa. "What do you want, angel?" 

Melissa felt Andy's fingertips on the small of her back as he opened the door for her to usher her inside. ‘God, every single touch was like fire on her body.’ Almost wanting to forget the food, take Andy directly to the restroom, and ravish him, she smiled sexily, when Andy asked her what she wanted. He had a lot of nerve asking her a question like that. Melissa leaned in close to his ear, breathing gently. 

"I think you know what I want...but," Melissa hissed, lowering her voice, "I'll have whatever you are having."

"I do have an idea, yes." Andy said grinning, "But I think I'm going to make you tell me later," he said softly. He bit his lip as he looked at the menu, deciding and walking to order, taking out his credit card to pay. He kept throwing glances at Melissa, and smiling at her, feeling oddly hot even though the air conditioning seemed to be working just fine.

Once Andy had ordered for them, they took a seat in a nearby booth. Melissa stretched out across the length of the bench, crossed her feet at the ankles, and watched as Andy made their drinks. Melissa watched intently, her eyes following the long line of Andy's back under the clingy cotton t-shirt. She could not help but look at that delectable ass again. The low-rise leather fit his body loosely but still left nothing to the imagination. Feeling hot again, she met Andy's eyes on the way back from the soda fountain. She bit her lower lip with arousal; she pictured Andy writhing below her, their bodies glistening with perspiration as she f****d him into the mattress. I am in so much trouble, Melissa thought quietly to herself as Andy slid her drink across the table toward her.

Andy sat down making himself comfortable. He smiled at Melissa, seeing the clear arousal in her eyes, as he was sure it was in his own. 

"So... care to share your thoughts with me? Except the one about my hot ass, I kinda know that one." 

"That obvious?" Melissa asked, winking at Andy, he was f*****g adorable. Thoughtfully, Melissa took a sip of the Coke in front of her, biting the end of the straw. Back to reality, Melissa urged herself as she looked back across at Andy. "Well, I guess getting to know each other better would be a good start," Melissa smiled as they set their tray of burgers and fries down on the table. She quickly stole a French fry and popped it into her mouth. "I talked to frank for more than an hour the other day. Maybe he filled you in on some of it?"

Andy grinned. "Just as obvious as the fact that I really like your lip piercing," he said. When Melissa mentioned frank, he shook his head. "Not much, really." he said as he unwrapped his burger. "Let's see. I know you are from Phoenix. You are a lefty. You love tattoo art and the Stone Temple Pilots," he rambled before taking a bite from his burger. 

Melissa played with the labret momentarily as she listened to Andy tells her what he knew. Slowly she unwrapped her own burger, leaning in immediately to take a bite. It was heaven and she closed her eyes for a moment while she chewed. 

"Pretty good start actually," Melissa commented after she swallowed. "I know very little about the man in front of me except that he is gorgeous, a righty and I'm guessing at least half Albino decent? And no doubt, the best kisser I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing," Melissa finished by lowering her eyes on Andy, watching the flush fill his cheeks again. 

Andy blushed and dropped his head to look at the table with a half smile on his face. "Half-albino," he said, deciding to concentrate on the least unnerving part. "My dad's side" he commented. He paused as if he wasn't going to say anything more, and then smiled, "I'm also very damn lucky to just have made out with the most attractive girl I have ever met, who also happened to give me the best kiss of my life," he said taking a bite from his burger. "Oh, I also paint and draw too, went to art school and everything." Melissa lingered over what Andy just said, feeling the urge to reenact said kiss as she noticed a dab of mustard on the corner of Andy's mouth. ‘Damn, it was gone. That glorious tongue darting out quickly to remove the offending condiment.’ 

"Art school? No kidding? That is really cool; I'd love to see some of your work. I myself finished high school, but I'm ashamed to say that’s where my claim to fame stops. I have worked odd and end jobs since then, singing my heart out for several bands, praying like hell I could make it my career. It's my passion, you know? Music, song writing, all that."

"Well I didn't finish, but yeah I went," Andy explained. "But that's where I met Frank, and decided that this is what I wanted to do," he said with a smile. "It's my passion too. I put my heart into everything I do." 

Melissa inhaled the last bite of her burger, chewing slowly as she sat back and looked across the table at Andy. She watched as he finished his meal as well, pausing to sip his drink. "So, you mentioned meeting the guys tonight. Is that really a possibility?" Melissa asked. She did not want to wait; she was way too keyed up about this job. But she hoped she didn't sound too anxious.

Andy smiled. "For sure. When I left for the studio they were all hanging out at my place," he said with emphasis. "If you really want to, I'll call frank with a heads-up and we'll make our way there." 

Melissa immediately began to feel nervous, her hands dampening. "That would be sweet, I am really anxious to meet them all," Melissa told Andy as he took another long pull off his soda. "And calling frank might be a good idea, I don't want to intrude on anything," she told him, nervously darting her eyes toward the door then back to Andy.

"Nah, you wouldn't intrude. We usually leave the orgies for Saturdays," Andy said with an evil grin, watching as Melissa choked a little on her soda. "I'm kidding and well it's my place so we could just show up but frank might hit me. And you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I know they'll like you." 

Melissa cleared his throat at Andy's impromptu comment, feeling the carbonation of her soda tickling her airway. Laughing when she realized Andy was just joking, Melissa grinned across the table at Andy. "I guess you better call frank then, I wouldn't want to have to defend your honor so soon after meeting you," she snided. 

Andy laughed. "When you see frank, you'll see that there's not much to defend me from. He's skinny as a twig," he said he took his phone out of his back pocket. "Yo, roberts," he said when someone picked up on the other side. "I'm bringing Melissa over; she wants to meet you guys. Yep, yeah. Okay, cool. Yes sweetheart I will buy you something for the cold," he said mockingly. "I said yes! Okay then. Yeah, bye," he said before hanging up. "He says it's cool but to bring them a pizza. And please remind me. I'm more likely than not to show up without the cold medication." 

"Hey...watch what you say about skinny..." Melissa joked as loaded their trash onto the tray and moved to toss it away.

Andy shook his head. "No. You've got nothing on frank. Besides you're hot as hell so that gives you bonus points." 

Melissa looked over his shoulder as he dumped the trash, catching Andy's eye. 

"Bonus points, huh? In who's book?" Melissa asked as she grabbed her soda and walked with Andy out of the restaurant toward the Jeep. Melissa fought the urge to reach for Andy's hand as they made their way to his vehicle. She just wanted to touch him again.

"In my book," Andy replied simply, turning to her with a raised eyebrow. "Unless that's not good enough for you," he teased. 

Melissa grinned, biting her lip playfully while standing still on the sidewalk watching Andy walk to his side of the Jeep. Instead of climbing into her side, she quickly moved to where Andy was preparing to get into the car. Standing behind him now, closely, Melissa braced her hands on either side of Andy, her lips hovering near Andy's ear.

"I think you know your book is more than good enough for me," Melissa hissed, her nose brushing the warm skin of Andy's face as her lips ghosted over her ear. "You are driving me crazy, Collins," Melissa half moaned as she leaned into Andy's body where she was immediately met with his hard body.

Andy let out a low moan before he turned in Melissa's arms. "Yeah, show me how crazy Howe," he said with his lips less than an inch away from Melissa's. 

When Andy's sweet breath fanned her face with his lips so close, Melissa shuddered inwardly. The temptation to take him again, kissing him fervently was overwhelming. 

"You sure you want that kind of craziness right here in the parking lot of the In and Out burger?" Melissa continued to tease as she pressed herself against Andy's hip, making sure he knew exactly what that meant.

Andy closed his eyes and moaned. "Where do you suggest we go? If I take you to my place... you're going to have to wait at least a couple of hours for the guys to disappear." 

Melissa felt dizzy as he listened to the lowly moan coming from Andy's lips. Oh how she wanted to jump him right here and now. "I guess," Melissa began as she repositioned her hips again, pressing deeper into Andy's pelvis, her hands clutching the door of the Jeep, "we're gonna have to wait then." A deep moan escaping her lips as she felt now how aroused Andy had become. "But not before I do this," Melissa locked eyes with Andy, looking for permission before proceeding to kiss him, in the open, in a public parking lot.

All Andy could do for a second was nod, "Yeah... wait," he said finding it very difficult to breathe. "So are you going to kiss me or what?" 

Not needed further encouragement, Melissa moved in, feeling her breath catch in her chest as her lips covered Andy's. "f**k, I'm hot for you," she murmured as she began to suck on Andy's lower lip, pulling the tender flesh between her teeth. Melissa's eyes rolled closed as her head swam with dizziness. Her tongue sliding between those hot lips to coax Andy into the embrace.

Andy melted into the kiss in less than a second. It was even better than the first one. ‘God, she tasted good, and she was one hell of a kisser.’ 

"I'm just as hot for you," he whispered between kisses before he claimed Melissa's lips again. 

Rotating her hips against Andy again, uncomfortably aroused, Melissa moaned against Andy's mouth. She wanted him so badly; she didn't know how much longer she could wait. And she was supposed to audition for the job of a lifetime in this predicament? ‘Jesus,’ Melissa thought as she roughly met Andy's open mouth, sucking on his wet tongue passionately. Sensing other people in the parking lot, Melissa broke the kiss and put her forehead against Andy's neck while smiling in attempt to catch her breath. 

"f**k Andy, I can't handle this s**t," Melissa hissed, playful laughter in her tone. Her hands were fisted in the hem of Andy's t-shirt as she looked back into Andy's eyes, knowing her eyes told her immense arousal without a doubt.

Andy could barely breathe. Melissa was panting heavily in hiss arms. "Are you kidding me? How am I going to survive introducing you to the guys while I'm fighting the urge to throw you in my bed and f**k you senseless?" 

"God, I know," Melissa groaned as she inhaled deeply, taking in the slight trace of spicy cologne on Andy's skin. "But don't forget, you’re not the one who has to perform under these conditions," Melissa chuckled. "I'm so f*****g hot right now. I think the guys are gonna be thinking who the f**k is this b***h?"

"No. We are just hanging out today. I'm not making you perform, not for the guys anyway," he said with an evil grin. "And hello? I’m just as hot. In any case they're going to bust my balls because I can’t control myself around you," he gave her a smile. "The best I can offer right now is the back of my Jeep for you while I drive." 

"You'd like that wouldn't you? Watching me being naughty in the back seat, in your rearview mirror while you drive? As scrumptious as that sounds, I think I'll wait for your assistance with this...erm...issue later?" Melissa taunted with a wink as she allowed her fingers to stroke the smooth skin under Andy's t-shirt. "Unless...you have a private bathroom at home that we can sneak away to...where the guys won't hear us," Melissa added as she brushed her lips against Andy's neck.

"Sorry to disappoint you but my apartment is tiny. There's just no way they wouldn't hear us."

Melissa groaned at the thought, her lips still connected hotly to Andy's skin. "Keep it up, Collins, you may just get what you ask for," Melissa chuckled quietly. "God, I bet you taste so f*****g sweet too," Melissa hissed near Andy's ear. 

"Dude... if you don't stop either or we're going to get kicked out of a parking lot." Andy said breathlessly. 

"The first choice is absolutely hot," Melissa mused as she nipped at Andy's ear, sucking gently at the lobe. "While the second...although alluring...sounds a little more humiliating than I would like for one day," she laughed before leaning in once more to press her lips against Andy's mouth, lingering on the softness. She melted as Andy kissed her back, feeling his hands cup her face, thumbs softly stroking her cheeks. "Let's get out of here, gorgeous," Melissa told him when they broke for air.

Andy barely nodded as Melissa spoke. He watched as Melissa walked away before she climbed in the Jeep beside him. His hands were trembling slightly as he put the key in the ignition and drove off. 

Melissa attempted to calm herself for what felt like the millionth time today as she climbed into the passenger seat. As they drove out of the parking lot, Melissa snuck another peek at Andy. He was quiet, almost as if he was speechless. She wondered if she had pushed things too far. She had a bad habit of coming on too strong when she found something she wanted. And she wanted Andy like mad. Her behavior almost uncontrollable at this point, she realized. 

Resisting the urge to reach out and take Andy's hand, Melissa ran her fingers through her hair. "You alright?" she asked finally breaking the silence.

Andy gave him a smile, "Yeah, I'm just trying not to think about this raging hard-on I'm sporting." 

"Tell me about it" Melissa blew a long breath out Andy's head shot towards Melissa. "You're set on torturing me, aren't you?" he asked with panted breaths. 

"No way, dude...you've just got me outta control over here," Melissa gasped as she looked at Andy. Andy's breath caught in his throat.

Andy moaned shamelessly then he remembered he was actually driving. 

"Oh f*****g god," he whispered. Breathing heavily through his nose, he tried to catch his breath. He waited for Melissa to look at him before he brought her fingers, warm to his lips. 

"This is f*****g crazy," Andy told her quietly. "And I can hardly wait to get you in bed, I'm gonna tear you up," he promised as he nipped at Melissa's collarbone to seal that promise. Melissa panted slightly. 

"f*****g crazy sounds about right," she said. When he felt Melissa so close to him, she moaned softly. "As amazing as that sounds, we're going to have to wait a bit. But I'll hold you to that," she said with a smile. 

Melissa reluctantly backed away from Andy and settled back into her seat, leaning her head back, still feeling dizzy from the whole incident. 

"So, when we get to your place, what are the chances that the guys will know something has happened between us? In other words, are they pretty in tune with you? And if so, how much s**t are we likely to get?" Melissa asked, running her hand through her hair nervously.

Mike laughed, "luke and greg would more likely be clueless, charlie too," he said as he drove, "If anyone could -maybe- tell it would be frank, but he's sick and f**k!" he said as he took a turn. He looked apologetically at Melissa "I have to buy him something for the flu," he paused and shook his head. "Anyway... when he's sick he pays attention to no one so we're safe. You have nothing to worry about. And if they -do- notice they probably won't say much, just give -me- s**t for hitting on you." 

Watching Andy pull into a drug store parking lot, Melissa grinned. "Well...that’s good; I'll be on my best behavior although I think it was me that came on a little too strong. I hope that I haven't scared you off completely by tomorrow. I have a tendency to be a little on the impulsive side," Melissa confessed as Andy parked the Jeep.

Andy smiled. "You might have come on to me, but I kissed you first," he said as he gestured Melissa to get out of the car with him. "Not that it would matter. They are all going to assume that I hit on you. I have this un-earned fame of being a flirt," he said shrugging. "And just for the record, I don't get scared easily." 

Melissa sighed a relief as he climbed out of the Jeep with Andy to go into the pharmacy for frank’s medication. "That's a good thing. And you? A flirt? Hmmm...guess we'll have to see about that," Melissa winked as she grabbed the door, opening it for Andy. Andy walked in, "I'm not. I just have a killer smile," he said with a grin. 

"That you have..." Melissa whispered closely into Andy's ear, as she was unable to resist pressing her fingers to the small of Andy's hip. "I have a feeling that smile is gonna be the death of me," Melissa groaned as she reminisced about the rendezvous in the car.

Andy grinned again. "Well it's not that bad. Besides I have more interesting plans for you," he teased. He went to the counter and asked the girl over there for some help, and she blushed as he smiled at her, failing to notice that Melissa's hand was still on his hip. She disappeared to look for what he had asked for and he turned to Melissa, "See it gets me places." 

"I see that...interesting plans, eh? I can hardly wait to hear what those 'plans' entail," Melissa told him as she shoved her hand in her pockets, following Andy and the store girl to the cold remedy section. She could not help but keep her eyes off Andy's backside showcased perfectly in his tight leather trousers.

"Thank you, sweetie," Andy said to the girl as he grabbed what he thought was best for frank. The girl blushed even more and nodded before walking away. Andy smiled to himself before he went to pay and then walked out to the parking lot again, allowing Melissa to walk ahead of him just so he could check her out. 

Melissa could feel Andy's eyes on her as she walked back toward the Jeep. "See anything you like?" Melissa asked, peering over her shoulder with a smirky grin on her face. Andy grinned as he got into the driver's seat. 

"Well that's a silly question isn't it?" he asked teasingly.

"Just checking," Melissa hissed, after climbing into her seat, immediately reaching for a handful of Andy's shirt. "I think I'm gonna need one more undisturbed kiss before we get to your place," Melissa moaned as Andy's breath hit her face. "To tide me over, that is," Melissa whispered, her eyes locked with Andy's, her lips hovering.

"Your wish is my command." Andy said with a grin, as he put his hand on the back of Melissa's neck and closed the distance between them, a smile on his lips the whole time.

As Andy's long fingers wrapped around Melissa's neck, he shuddered in anticipation. Quickly claiming Andy's mouth, her tongue sought out the heat inside, desperate for his smooth velvety lips to part. Groaning against Andy's lips, Melissa attempted to wipe the smile off Andy's face and replace it with fiery passion. She kissed him hard, reaching with both hands, one cupping Andy’s cheek the other sliding deeply into the silky hair of his nape.

Andy moaned softly into Melissa's mouth when he parted his lips to allow Melissa to sneak her tongue into his mouth. He wanted to pull Melissa closer, but he knew if he did, he would lose control of his body in a second. He tilted his head to deepen the kiss, his mind focused on nothing but the kiss. 

Melissa felt her entire body break out into gooseflesh as Andy opened under her lips. ‘So amazing...’Melissa mused as she sucked gently on Andy's tongue, fighting hard not to devour him whole. ‘He tasted so good,’ Melissa thought as she reveled in the warmth, taking Andy again and again unable to stop kissing him. Melissa was beginning to pant as she grasped Andy tighter, pulling closer still.

Andy very reluctantly broke the kiss. "if you keep kissing me like that, we're never going to make it home," he said breathlessly. 

"I know...I can't stop..." Melissa whispered as she kissed him once more, biting on his bottom lip, pulling it into her mouth and sucking softly. "Ok...I'm stopping...god you taste so good.”

Andy moaned, taking Melissa's face between his hands. "I promise, we won't have to wait longer than a couple of hours."

"I know...I know...ok...I'm back to being good," Melissa promised, kissing him once more, lingering as their lips met. "How far from the house are we?"

"Not too far. We should be there in like 15 minutes." Andy informed as he backed out of the parking lot. Not much of a house, though, more like 's**t-hole-that-andy-can-afford-in-this-city.' to be honest."

"God, do I ever know the feeling there," Melissa added. "You should see my shack of an apartment," she rolled her eyes. 

"Yeah, and the worst part is that since my apartment is the only one that actually has food, the guys usually come over even though we don't really fit in the apartment." Andy said half-amused, half-annoyed. 

"That's cool though," Melissa replied. "That you all are so close that is," she continued as she focused on something other than the fact that she wanted to pounce on Andy again. She was out of control and she knew it.

“Yeah, we have known each other for a long time,” Andy said with a smile. 

They got to Andy's place and Andy parked the car, getting out and fighting with one of his neighbors about the music, again. He sighed as they made their way upstairs. They entered the apartment and Andy smiled, frank was on the couch under the covers, acting as if it was his deathbed, charlie and greg were playing some video game and luke was drawing something on a pad. 

"Catch, G," Andy said as he threw the bag in the direction of the couch, hitting frank square in the chest. 

"Oh how's that for compassion, Collins?" frank asked throwing a pillow that Andy skillfully dodged. "Meh, I don't care much for you." Andy replied with a grin. "Hey, guys, this is Melissa." 

Feeling the heat of exactly five pairs of eyes on her, Melissa cleared her throat as she nodded to them. "What's up?" she asked, hating that her voice cracked with nerves. Reaching to shake hands with each guy, exchanging names but stopping at frank. "I'd rather not...seeing you're sickly and all," Melissa grinned at frank.

frank smiled. "I agree. Andy should give me a hug, though," he said before coughing again. 

"f**k off," Andy replied as he grabbed a coke from the fridge. "My hugs are for important, talented, sexy people," he said before taking a sip from his coke. "When are you leaving, by the way? You're spreading your germs all over my couch." Andy said. 

"My beautiful sweet girlfriend is picking me up in about an hour or so," frank replied. greg and charlie turned off the video game. 

"So, Melissa... what did you think of the demos?" Charlie asked. Melissa accepted the soda that Andy handed her and chose a seat on the floor next to charlie and greg "I think you guys seriously rock," Melissa began as she popped the soda open. "I love the music. I'm guessing you heard my stuff that I sent frank?" charlie nodded. 

"You have a killer voice," he said and Andy nodded in agreement, as frank coughed again. "And you did some great stuff. It should be fun to see how it works out." 

“Thanks dude, I cannot wait to sing some of your stuff. I sang all afternoon for Andy here, he seems to think I might be a good fit," Melissa gestured toward Andy, taking note of the way he leaned against the sofa, hips forward, stretching the leather. ‘Oh god, I don’t need to be looking at him like that,’ she cleared his throat again. ‘I must look like a cat on the prowl.’

Andy gave Melissa a smile. "I do think that,” he said nodding.

"Well Andy's the smarty pants here," Frank said with a smile. "He's a control freak, though... we should warn you," he said causing Andy to flip him off. 

"And don't ever ask him to dance," Charlie added, making sure he was out of Andy's reach. 

Melissa laughed as she watched Andy lunging for charlie in attempts to snatch him into a headlock and tackle him to the ground. "Looks like there are a few issues going on here," Melissa chuckled as ducked out the way.

"Nah, he's just jealous because he doesn't have my undying charm," Andy teased. 

"The point is..." frank said acting as if he was completely used to this sort of behavior. "I should feel better by tomorrow and we can do a little work in the studio together." 

"Right," Melissa replied to Frank as luke assisted Andy in holding Charlie by the leg so that Andy could catch him. The two went crashing to the floor in a mock wrestling match as Melissa dove out of the way ending up over by greg. "I can hardly wait until we do that," Melissa finished as she watched the threesome on the floor now fighting over the playstation controllers. "Are they always like this?"

"Worse," frank said. "But yeah, I really liked what you sent me. So, did you get along with Andy?" he asked curiously. 

Melissa paused for a moment, hoping like hell she had heard the question wrong. She sure as f**k didn't want to have look frank in the face and answer that truthfully. Glancing over at frank, she saw that he was obviously waiting for an answer. ‘s**t, here goes....’

"Sure, he...uh...he seems pretty cool," Melissa stated, responded but looked away pretty quickly. "Well, I mostly just sang for him, we uh...didn't talk too much," Melissa added, that was the truth. ‘Made out was more like it. f**k Howe... you know your face is probably beat red now.’

"Yeah... he's cool," greg agreed. "He's even cooler than that usually, but he's been f*****g stressed and depressed lately," he said, knowing that Andy couldn't hear him over the noise going on between him, charlie, Luke and now even greg had joined in. "I think he likes you, though, he had a smile on his face when he said your name. We've been looking for a back up singer for a while now." 

"He did mention you guys have been without a singer for a while," Melissa mused as he watched Andy and luke playing a game on playstation, the cursing and obscenities flying as they competed. greg and luke sat near them, anxiously awaiting their turns. 

"Paging Andy Collins...I think I just kicked your f*****g ass," luke singsonged as he pumped a fist in the air. 

"I'm real excited about the opportunity to audition for you guys. I have been auditioning like crazy, for what seems like months now. Or at least since the undead bit the big one," Melissa told frank.

"Whatever." Andy mumbled under his breath as he handed the control to greg. 

"Well we all really like your work, so I think you have a really good shot. We just have to work together see how that goes," frank said. Andy dropped himself on a chair across from the couch where frank was and kept thinking how much he needed his friends to leave. 

Melissa caught the irritation flash across Andy's features and fought a chuckle. She waited until Andy looked Her in the eyes before she smiled at him. Melissa allowed her gaze to follow Andy's flushed cheeks from the mock wrestling he had done with Charlie to his mouth. Thinking about how f*****g sweet he tasted made Melissa squirm from her position on the floor. She wanted nothing more than to tackle Andy herself and ravage him completely. 

Listening to the other guys cheering at the TV, Melissa too wished they would leave. As if on command, a faint knocking sounded on the door. Watching Andy pop up to go answer it, Melissa fixated on Andy's backside again as he walked away.

It was franks girlfriend. "Yes!" Andy said as if he had been given a gift and hugged her. "Please tell me that you're here to take him away!" he said. She smiled. 

"I am, Andy. I was going to pick him up sooner, but he only likes you to take care of him when he's sick," she teased. Andy shuddered as frank glared at her. 

Melissa watched as frank collected his things still wrapped in a blanket. With a nod of his head, he and the blonde girl left the apartment. "I'll see you tomorrow," was the last thing frank said as Andy closed the door, barely giving them a chance to clear the doorframe. Melissa wanted to giggle at Andy's sudden persistence to rid his home of the annoying uninvited houseguests.

Andy took off the blanket where frank had been laying in the couch and dropped himself on it. "Collins, if you get sick, none of us is taking care of you." Luke said in a warning tone. 

"f**k off, luke," was the reply. 

"f**k yourself, I'm serious," luke warned. "You know what a baby you are when you get sick and I'm usually the one who gets stuck with your sick ass!" Melissa sat back watching the interaction between the two old friends. 

"Yeah, Andy...you are a f*****g pain in the ass when you get sick," Charlie piped in as greg took the opportunity to blast the life from Charlies man when he let his attention slip from the game. Melissa looked over at Andy who was now stretched out on the small, worn sofa. She could tell by the look on Andy's face that his patience was wearing thin.

"Fine! I'll be sick on my own and then you guys are going to have to finish writing the lyrics, putting the beats together, recording Melissa's vocals and doing the artwork for the record and deliver it to the label." Andy let out a loud sigh. 

Melissa had been taking a swallow of her Coke when Andy went on his rampage and almost choked. 

"Whatever, Collins, how dramatic could you possibly get?" Luke waved a hand in his direction. ‘Recording –her- vocals? God, just the thought of her getting this job made her tingle all over. She wanted to jump excitedly about the room but refrained. 

"Jordan, leave Andy alone," Greg hissed as charlie swiftly beat him at the game and tossed his controller in lukes direction.

"Bah, Andy just needs something to complain about. He's not doing that much," lukereplied. 

"Yes he is, you just don't accept it," charlie countered.

"I'll take care of you, Andy," Melissa replied, interrupting the interaction between Andy and luke. Andy looked at Melissa who was eyeing luke, leveling with him, challenging him to respond. Melissa really did not like the negativity the short man was projecting on Andy and didn't want continue watching it happen. ‘How could Andy be any of those things? Much less a sickly Andy?’ Andy smiled triumphantly. 

"See? f**k all you guys." he said, making himself more comfortable on the couch, and at the same giving Melissa space to sit with him. 

"You need the new girl to defend you, Collins," luke said shaking his head. 

“Well, so far she seems a whole lot cooler than you at the moment." greg said. Melissa flopped down next to Andy on the couch, still keeping her eyes glued to luke.

"He doesn't need me to defend him, he looks like he can pretty well take care of himself and anything else that comes his way," Melissa muttered under her breath before she looked over at Andy. From the position Andy was lounging, Melissa had to look away before she jumped him. Melissa was really beginning to want them all to leave.

Luke turned to Melissa, and said "I like you," as if the fact that she had managed to put him in his place was quite the accomplishment. 

"greg, didn't you have a date tonight?" Andy asked suddenly, wanting nothing more but for the guys to get out. Ashley got up, tossing his controller down with a yawn. 

"I don't know about him...but I do...and I'm way over do for a little tail," charlie smirked as he grabbed some imaginary hips and humped them for a moment. Andy walked the to the door, shaking hands with all three guys as they made their way out. Just as they were out ushered out and the door closed, the front door swung back open. "What if I rent movies and we can all hang out here?" Luke poked his head in, desperate eyes meeting Andy.

"I'll make you a deal, luke. I'll let you stay here the weekend, if you leave right now." Andy said. 

"Really?" he asked excitedly. "You never let me stay here," Andy shrugged, 

"I know. That's how much I want you to leave." A confused look came over lukes face as Melissa fought another bout of giggles. 

"Ok Andy...you promise about the weekend thing?" Luke asked as he bounced up and down energetically in anticipation.

“Yes," Andy said as if he was talking to a kid. He had never said he would be here too, though. “I promise," he added nodding. 

"Okdokie...see you two losers tomorrow in the studio," luke grinned and closed the door back as Andy prepared to lock it behind him this time, taking no chances of him returning. Melissa scratched absently at her belly listening to Andy locking the door. They were alone. Finally.

"I'm definitely crashing at the studio this weekend," Andy told Melissa with a smirk. "Anyway..." he said moving closer to Melissa and putting his arms around her shoulders. “Where were we earlier?" he asked pretending innocence. Making fists while her hands were deep in her pockets, Melissa felt Andy's arms going around her shoulders. 

"Where were we? Let me see..." Melissa began, feeling her heart race the instant Andy had closed in on her. "Which earlier?" Melissa teased, hands coming out of her pockets, fingers looping into Andy's front pockets as she pulled him closer, making direct contact with his hips. 

Melissa's eyes smoldered with desire as she felt Andy's breath fan her nose and mouth. Hip to hip, Melissa slid her hands around Andy's waist, thumbing the soft skin under his t-shirt. "Aw f**k it, I can't tease...I want you so bad," Melissa hissed as she leaned in, unable to wait a moment longer, taking Andy's mouth with her own roughly as she jerked him closer still. Andy smiled. 

"Come ‘mere..." he said as he kissed her, pressing her whole body against him. She tilted her head to deepen the kiss. When he parted his lips to allow Melissa's tongue, he moaned softly, burying his fingers in her hair.

Melissa felt frantic as Andy clutched her in his arms, feeling his fingers sliding into her hair. Her belly was burning with desire and her body was already rock hard with arousal for him. ‘f**k, she had not been this hot for someone in...change that...make it ever.’ 

Sucking on Melissa's tongue, he slowly began to raise her soft cotton t-shirt, desperate to get his hands on that luscious skin. Andy broke the kiss, trailing kisses down the side of her neck while his tongue traced a path to Melissa's ear. 

Swiftly, Andy removed Melissa's shirt, splaying his white fingers on the skin beneath, loving the sight of her skin in contrast with his own. Andy moved steadily downward, capturing one n****e between his teeth, rolling his tongue against it until it hardened. 

"God, Melissa…you are f*****g beautiful…” he whispered as he moved to the other.

"So are you," Melissa said panting. She was moaning shamelessly as her hands moved under Andy's shirt. "Bedroom, now," she said firmly as she gently pushed Andy while he took off his shirt. 

She shuddered as he made his way back to her's mouth, waiting as Andy tossed his shirt off before deepening the kiss immediately, his tongue skillfully stroking Melissa's. He pushed his groin hard into Melissa's, making her fully aware of how desperate he was for her.

Andy kissed Melissa as he toed off his shoes. They reached the bedroom and he broke the kiss, panting. "Top or bottom, angel?" he asked licking Melissa's neck, his hands roaming to grab her ass. 

Melissa shivered as she felt Andy's tongue dragging her neck and his hands groping her ass. 

Kissing him passionately, Melissa shook holding Andy tightly between her legs, she reveled in the warmth of Andy, never wanting it to end.

"You are f*****g amazing," he told her as he placed kisses all over his new lover's face. 

Melissa nodded, reaching up to cup Andy's face with both hands. "You are f*****g amazing, I have never...ever...felt this way before," Melissa told him, kissing him long and lingering. Melissa felt her body trembling under Andy. "Can you feel that? I'm shaking all over...how the f**k did you do that?"

"It wasn't me, it was all us, baby," Andy said with a smile. "My heart is about to beat right out of my chest," he said putting Melissa's hand so she could feel his heart beating. 

"I know...that was just so...just so...wow," Melissa grinned. "I'm speechless. You have stripped my ability to speak," Melissa laughed shakily as she pulled Andy's face down for another kiss. "I can't quit kissing you...but you taste good," Melissa murmured against Andy’s lips, feeling him licking her labret, softly.

"That's good." Andy said smugly. "That's very good, because you taste f*****g sweet."

"Mmmmm," Melissa moaned as she opened her mouth to Andy deepening the kiss. Their tongues moved languidly together until they were both breathless again. "we better hit the showers, much to my dismay though. I don't wanna move from this spot," Melissa growled the last line, holding Andy tightly in her arms, kissing his neck.

"Well, we do need a shower," Andy said nodding, "But I promise that I'll let you be in this precise spot just like this as many times as you want in the near future." 

"Is the shower big enough for two?" Melissa asked, tauntingly as she felt Andy pull off of her and roll onto his side. Melissa shivered from the loss of heat as she watched the beautiful form of her new lover stretch next to her on the bed. 

Propping her head on her hand, she allowed herself to look at Andy in all his splendor. 

"Jesus...you are f*****g perfect. Do you realize that?" Andy smiled, running one finger down the center of her chest, circling her belly button and her abdomen.

"If it wasn't, I'd just hold you closer," Melissa said with a grin. As soon as Melissa's words left her mouth, she felt a blush cover her cheeks. "No, I hadn't really realized that." he said shyly. 

Meissa rolled toward Andy, rubbing her nose along Andy muscular belly as she kissed it repeatedly climbing onto Andy. 

"Well...you so...fucking...are..." Melissa annunciated each word as she moved down to kiss Andy's lips, her tongue brushing over his full lips before taking him for another breathless kiss by fusing their mouths together.

Andy smiled, "So are you," he said before he kissed her back. "Are you sure we're going to get to that shower?" he asked teasingly. 

"No..." Melissa hissed as she kissed Andy again, loving the feel of his mouth against her lips. "I'm not sure," Melissa told him as she broke the kiss following it up with a few more trailed embraces down his neck. "But, I think, I'm ready now," Melissa smiled against the warm pale colored skin, nuzzling the softness with her nose. "You better make a run for it before I keep you here for good," Melissa teased.

Andy laughed softly. "Yeah, see... That's not much of an incentive for me to try and make a run for it," he said smiling. "You feel damn good right now," he said nodding before he kissed her again. "No... if we both do this, we're never going to shower..." he said amused, before he got up from the bed, "Come on, I promise I'll grope you," he added, stretching his hand for Melissa.

Melissa propped herself up on an elbow as she watched Andy climb out of the bed after one last kiss. "Now that's the kind of incentive I need," Melissa grinned after raising one eyebrow in flirtation. She looked at Andy's outstretched hand momentarily before she took it, letting Andy pull her from the warm bed and into his arms. Andy wrapped his arms around Melissa's waist and looked up into her eyes, loving the dark shiny quality they sparkled at him. Melissa was speechless, the smile dropping from her face as she stroked Andy's cheek with the back of her hand, becoming serious. 

"So beautiful, Collins," she whispered, leaning up to touch lips with him once more. Andy could not help but blush. 

"Are you sure you want to feed my ego like that?" he asked teasingly. With his arms still around Melissa's neck, he led her to the bathroom, still kissing her softly. 

"Can't help it...I'm smitten..." Melissa whispered, allowing herself to be pulled toward the bathroom as Andy caressed her back and kissed her lips softly. Melissa watched as Andy prepared their shower while she leaned against the sink with her arms crossed. 

‘He was perfection in every way,’ Melissa grinned mischievously. She could not believe her luck. It had been so long since she had felt drawn to anyone. Half-afraid of getting hurt, Melissa pushed the negativity to the back of her mind. She had known that getting involved with a potential band member had its risks, but she was caught hook, line and sinker. Brain and body spinning with lust, she shook her head. Andy opened the shower curtain and climbed in but not before catching Melissa by the wrist and dragging her in with him. The warm water hit his shoulders and uttered a sigh of relief.

Andy put his arms around Melissa, resting his head on her shoulder, as he allowed the warm water to help relax his muscles. 

"I really like you, Melissa. I know how weird this is and how much we're both putting at risk, but I hope you think this is worth it." 

"How did you know I was wondering the same thing?" Melissa asked as she looked up at Andy, water streaming down their bodies, steam rising from the shower. "How could I not think this is worth it?" she smiled at Andy, snuggling into his neck, kissing the beads of water trailing down from his wet hair. Pressing their bodies together tightly, "Risk or no risk...you are definitely worth it. Because even if the guys totally hate me tomorrow, I still wanna see you. I cannot put my finger on it, but I trust that. My gut is telling me to trust it," She finished as she held onto Andy's waist, looking into his endless glacier coloured eyes.

Andy smiled and kissed her lips softly. "I have the same feeling about you." he said truthfully. "I know we just met each other and whatnot, but... I'm so drawn to you, it’s mind-blowing." 

Melissa giggled as pushed Andy against the shower wall. "Who would have known we'd be here...in your shower... less than 12 hours after meeting?" Melissa grinned at Andy. "I've heard of people having immediate attractions but this is a little insane." Kissing Andy's neck again as she made her way toward his ear. "And what's even crazier...is that I want you again already," Melissa moaned, taking Andy's ear lobe between her teeth, hushing warm breath against the canal. "f**k, I'm so hot for you," Melissa told him, rotating her hips against Andy. 

Andy moaned, holding on to Melissa's back tightly even though his fingers slipped on her wet skin. "Do you now?" he asked panting slightly. "How exactly do you want me, Angel?" 

"I want to f**k you into this shower wall until you scream my name," Melissa hissed, kissing her way across Andy's jaw, loving the way he rotated his head to give her better access. Melissa was getting more feral by the second as she pushed a little rougher against Andy.

Andy let out a low moan, pushing himself forward towards Melissa. "What... are you... waiting for?" he asked with a grin even though his eyes were closed by now. 

Melissa kissed him hard, her tongue barely waiting for permission to access his mouth. Tongues fused together, fighting for dominance as they grasped each other, beginning to grind against each other. Mewing moans of pleasure escaped noses and mouths as they kissed deeply. Melissa pulled Andy's tongue into her mouth sucking desperately before shoving him into the shower wall with a gasped breath. 

Andy was afraid to move even an inch. He could barely breathe from the intensity of it all. "Was this your plan all along?" he asked panting, a grin fixed on his face. "Because if it was, I love the way your mind works." 

Melissa chuckled, somewhat uncomfortably. "f**k, I'd like to take credit for this...but this was completely unexpected," Melissa gasped, still not letting go of Andy, pressing her forehead to his, loving his beautiful smile. He was the most incredible thing Melissa had ever come across. Melissa leaned down, capturing his bottom lip, sucking gently, laving her tongue against the soft skin. 

"You have no idea how much exactly I wish this had been my plan," Melissa whispered, holding Andy closer than before.

Andy ran his hands up and down Melissa's back softly. "Well then, please promise me that more unexpected events like this are coming up in my near future. That way I have something amazing to look forward to." 

"I don't think I could deny you a thing that you asked for, man," Melissa smiled against Andy's lips, feeling his hands sliding up and down her slick back. "Not a goddamn thing," Andy growled as he kissed Melissa feverishly before letting her go, sliding her back to her feet but still keeping her close.

Melissa kissed Andy back, feeling her legs still a little unstable as she stood up. "I feel exactly the same way about you," she said smiling before he pulled her closer for yet another kiss. 

Melissa felt her entire body tremble as Andy kissed her again, allowing Andy's tongue to swirl seductively between her lips. She sunk her fingers into Andy's wet hair, holding tightly as she breathlessly kissed him back. "Mmmm, you taste so good," Melissa whispered between kisses. The shower water had begun to chill signifying their hot water was running out. "I think...we better finish up before we freeze outta here," Melissa laughed as she went to move, but Andy held her captive a moment longer.

After a few more moments of just holding each other, they managed to finish they shower and dry themselves off. Andy was drying off his hair with a towel as he turned to Melissa. "Want to get into bed with me so we can wrap ourselves around each other?" 

"Abso-f*****g-lutely," Melissa grinned as she donned a clean pair of p.j's after finishing brushing her teeth. She followed Andy into the bedroom, anxious to snuggle with her new lover. 

She heard his phone ringing just as she was about to climb into the bed next Andy. Giggling at the Sponge Bob Square Pants ring tone filling the room, Andy dove for his cell, feeling Melissa staring at him.

Andy smiled at her as she settled herself on the bed, watching as he reached for his phone. She had a smile on her face as she put her arms behind her head, taking in every detail of Andy's almost naked form. 

Andy looked down at the screen, seeing that it was Sam. 'What the f**k was she calling him for?' It always was some disaster or issue that she 'NEEDED' him to fix. Andy darted his eyes to the unbelievable woman laid out on the bed in front of him. He still had not told Melissa about the Sam predicament, and really did not want to spoil the mood tonight with those details. 

"I'm gonna take this in the other room, ok?"

Melissa nodded, noticing the change of attitude in Andy immediately but deciding she'd worry about it when she had to. "Go for it." she told him with a smile. 

Andy walked out of the bedroom and into the living room as he picked up. 

"What is it, Sam?" he hissed into the phone.

"Nice to hear from you too, Andy," Sam snarled back. Andy sighed as he parted the blinds and looked down at the parking lot from his apartment.

"Why are you calling me, Sam?" Andy asked, again.

"I had some news and I thought you might want to hear it, since it involves you directly," Sam told him. 

"I'm really not interested, whether it involves me or not," Andy countered. 

"Well, I'm going to tell you anyway," Sam continued as Andy began to bite his already quite ragged fingernails. She always made him nervous. In fact, she drove him f*****g crazy. It had taken just 90 days for their divorce paper to come through and not nearly soon enough according to Andy.

"Can't this wait? I mean really Sam; you know I'm auditioning people out here. I'm kind of stressed out, this really isn't the time..."

"I didnt sign the papers, Andy," Sam interrupted his rant. A long pause followed in which Andy almost dropped the phone. 

"What?" he croaked, his voice cracking loudly in the phone. 

"You heard me. I didnt sign them," Sam replied.

"And you are just now telling me this?" Andy hissed, feeling his face burning, his body shaking with anger. 

"I'm not talking to you when you are like this! We WILL discuss this later" Sam grunted into the phone. 

"f**k you Sam!" 

"No...Fuck you Andy...you f*****g loser!" Sam ranted into the phone and promptly hung up on him. 

Andy burned with fury wanting to pound the wall with his fists until they bled. Shaking his head, she leaned over, bracing himself with one hand on his knee, trying to control his emotions. 'This cannot be happening, it just can't be,' Andy thought miserably as he felt tears burst behind his eyelids. 'Pull yourself together, Collins,' he told himself as he knuckled away the angry tears streaming down his face. 'What in the f**k was he going to do now?' A few deep breaths later, he shook it off and headed back toward where he knew Melissa was waiting for him urging himself to be cool. Melissa didn't need to know about this. It could ruin everything.

Unfortunately for Andy, he'd left the door of the room open, and in his anger, he hadn't realized how much he'd raised his voice, she had gotten out of bed, put on a pair of shorts and sat back on the bed. She knew it had been to perfect to be true. It turned out the guy that had driven her crazier than anyone ever before was apparently already taken. And from what she'd heard, also married. 

When Andy entered the room she turned to him, "Please if you have more important business to attend to, don't let -me- stop you."
