"Hey," I hug Melo's shirtless torso while he cooks eggs and sausage

"You snore" Melo remarks, he slides his left hand behind his back to return my hug

"So do you" I press my head into his back and inhale his scent, clean laundry and expensive deep wood cologne. I've never loved somebody's smell so much as I love Melo's. It brings me such an abundance of comfort, even when he's sweaty he still has the lingering smell that drives me crazy

"Stop sniffing me, weirdo" Melo laughs and pushes me away with his butt

"You're lame" I release him to hop up on the counter, swaying my legs

"You look pretty, baby" Melo reaches my face, brushing his thumb over my bottom lip

"It's sexy! Nigga come pull up on meeeeee" I sing Sexy Redds song as Melo smiles, shaking his head

I had started liking his rap music over my classical and calming music. Lana is my queen but Redd and Yeat be eating her up sometimes.

"What's the plans for today, dear?" I ask

"I was thinkin lunch with some of my teammates n they girls so you can make some friends, and then do sumn later tonight "

"Wait that sounds kinda fun babe, hopefully they coo people" I smile at Melo trying to help
me feel welcome out here "Andddd I mean we could always stay in and watch a movie"

"Aight" Melo turns his attention to the stove to take the eggs off

"Aw that's literally so cute Melo, thank you"

"For what?" he gives a quick glance my way while plating breakfast

"Introducing me to people to make friends, that's cute" I smile and take a shaky breath

"Why you breathing like that?"

"I don't really like meeting new people of being in crowds, you know I get hot n red when I'm nervous"

"I'm gon be with you, it's okay. You probably not gon like them tho I won't lie"

"Why not?"

He shrugs, "They not like you"

He hands me my plate and kisses my forehead

"Thank you, neither are you" I shrug

Melo climbs onto the counter with me and begins eating

"They gold diggers, they all about making fame connections and not genuine connections. They fake"

"I'm a business woman though, I make connections without emotion" I take a bite of my food and nod with approval

"Yea but that's different. I don't know, they just different than you. Yo momma taught you class, they mommas taught them to shake ass. But I mean, you might like them since you liked Pooh Shiesty and his lil group"
