Several days have passed since the fight against Fear Knight. Rujiya went back to work, the financial report that she had to hand out getting ever closer to the deadline. Melly, while sad that she couldn’t spend more time with her, was also happy to find free time to satisfy her wildest desires.
“Together, let’s pray for our shooting staaaaar!” sang Ivy.
The song ended and Ivy screamed with passion, her golden hair glittering in the light of the chandelier. Melly clapped her hands happily while sitting at the back seat. Ivy sighed, walked and sat next to Melly. Melly smiled at her seductively, gazing and enjoying her angel-like features. Ivy’s pink lips, her stylish red nails, her mesmerizing green eyes, all were as if a visual drug that could send Melly to heaven.
“You truly are a beautiful singer” said Melly.
“Hehe, I was just born talented, what else to say. I used to be the top of my class, entered festivals and even prepped for tournaments. But…”
“But what?” asked Melly.
“Making a living out of singing. That’s just too hard. So I gave up.” said Ivy.
“Shame. That is such a petty reason to give up on your dreams. You love singing right? You wanna do it more?” asked Melly playfully.
“Yeah. I love it. But don’t worry. It’s not the only thing I love.” said Ivy with a smile.
“I bet. But you gotta do what you love. No matter what anyone else says or whatever happens. I always do what I want, perhaps I go overboard a little too much. But hehe, I can afford it” said Melly with a smirk.
“So, what song do you want me to sing next?” asked Ivy.
The two of them sang for hours until 11. At midnight Melly received a message on her phone.
“Rujiya: Sorry, I’ll have to stay at work to finish the report. Will probably be at home in the morning.”
“Sheesh, she really likes overworking herself to death huh. Well it’s not like she is gonna die that easily.” said Melly with a pout.
“Who is it? Your family member?” asked Ivy curiously.
“Y-yeah. I’ll be all alone at home tonight, bored and lonely!” grumbled Melly as she rolled her eyes.
“Oh, you can stay at my place. I live alone so I would like some company as well.” said Ivy happily.
“Oh really? Well, I would happily join then” said Melly with a naughty smirk.
The two of them exited the karaoke bar, went into a taxi and quickly arrived at Ivy’s apartment. After putting the groceries on the table Ivy started cooking dinner but a midnight meal would be the more accurate term.
Melly stuffed buns as she watched a comedy quiz show on tv. After a while Ivy entered the living room with a tray with two bowls of soup.
“I hope you’ll enjoy my cooking. I’m not the best unfortunately.” said Ivy and placed the tray on the chair in front of the tv.
After the meal the two of them watched the rest of the quiz show while laughing and giggling. Melly didn’t forget to gaze at Ivy with the corner of her eyes. Her short tomboyish trunks, the blue casual t-shirt revealed a lot of skin. She was quite chunky and meaty on her thighs, Melly couldn’t help but drool.
“Hey, Ivy, do you have a boyfriend?” asked Melly directly.
“Umm, no. I don’t have one” said Ivy.
“How about a girlfriend?” asked Melly with a giggle.
Ivy’s eyes widened for a second and she giggled.
“Nah, I don’t swing that way. There are definitely a few cute guys I know but none of them seem to care about me that much. And even if they did…it’s such a big commitment you know” said Ivy as she crossed her arms.
“Yeah, it sure is a commitment. But what if a really cute and dedicated woman confesses to you. Will you consider it?” asked Melly suggestively.
“Hah, really testing me huh. I never really doubted my sexuality much. I have female friends, for sure, but I never looked at them that way so I’m sure-”
Without hesitation Melly pulled Ivy and pecked her on the lips. Ivy’s eyes widened, she blinked twice.
“Ughh, umm.” muttered Ivy as she pulled herself back from her.
“Hey, I just couldn’t help it. You’re too adorable. I hope it didn’t upset you or anything” said Melly with a playful tone.
Understanding the situation Ivy’s eyes darted towards different directions.
“M-Melly, you’re nice and I liked your company but…you really shouldn’t have done that.” said Ivy with a moody tone.
“Why? I’m just being honest with myself. Do you want me to lie to you? Pretend that you don’t make me feel a certain way? Don’t ask such cruel things from me darling.”
Melly stretched her arm gently caressed Ivy’s hair but Ivy grabbed her wrist.
“Melly…I-I told you the truth as well. I don’t have feelings like that towards women.” said Ivy with sadness.
“You never know until you try.” said Melly crawling towards Ivy, staring into her puzzled green eyes.
Melly’s hands wrapped themselves around Ivy’s back.
“What are you doing? Sto-”
Ivy pushed Melly on the stomach but Melly violently pulled her to herself and kissed Ivy on the lips. The sudden jerk was extremely strong, Ivy’s arm that got sandwiched between their bodies hurt. Melly’s luscious lips melted onto hers, Ivy felt a tongue enter her mouth, licking the insides of her cheeks.
Finally her restraints broke and Ivy slapped Melly and pulled herself up, away from her.
“Why don’t you get it?! I told you I don’t feel that way about you.” grunted Ivy.
Melly’s eyes narrowed, her eyes somber.
“I’m sorry. You’re just such a great friend and a loveable goober. I couldn’t help it. Let’s just…pretend-”
“Get out!” Ivy muttered.
“Huh?” gasped Melly with sad eyes.
“You heard me right. I don’t want you here” said Ivy with a frown.
“Why? Just because I kissed you? It was just a joke. Or are you that homophobic?” said Melly playfully.
“It’s not like that and you know it! I don’t want a crazy lady who doesn’t know boundaries near myself” said Ivy while frowning.
“Oh I see. Well…” said Melly and got up to her feet.
She looked dimly towards Ivy and said “Sorry. I just wish you could forgive my rudeness. And we could become friends again.”
“I…I’m sorry too. But you gotta leave” said Ivy, tears forming in her eyes.
Melly couldn’t help but laugh.
“That I can’t do.”
