“Oooh,” she moaned.
“Are you okay?” Lucas grimaced. She nodded unconvincingly. Lucas continued, “Keith, Sarah and I figured working at Caper would be good for Melody, you know?”
Keith smirked. “Oh really?” He stared at Melody while he caressed Sarah’s lap.
“As in, work with us ?” He raised an eyebrow.
“Yes.” Lucas looked at her. “But I see me mentioning it only spoils the mood, so I won’t mention it again.”
“I just need to think about it, that’s all, Lucas.” Melody smiled. She watched a waiter sit an attractive couple at the table next to theirs.
“Goddamn it!” Sarah slammed the fork on the table. People momentarily looked up from their meals. Two waiters shrugged at each other.
“Sis, what’s the problem, huh?” Melody grinned.
“Shit, my bra’s practically eating me alive. I’ll be right back, gentlemen.” She gestured to the ladies’ room. “Mel, could you come with me, please?” Melody followed, grinning.
Lucas shook his head. “Sarah’s something else, isn’t she?”
“Yeah.” Keith stared at Melody. “So, tell me how well you and Mel know each other again, Luke.” Keith smirked.
Sarah high-tailed it to the mirror. She nearly ripped her dress off to get to her bra snaps. Melody strolled in grinning.
“Well, it’s not such a perfect night for you after all is it, Miss Sarah?”
“Mel, this is no time to be funny.” Sarah exhaled. “This damn bra is killing me, I swear!”
“Hold on, let me help.” Melody noticed red marks underneath Sarah’s straps.
“Whoa.” She rubbed the marks. Sarah flinched. “God, your bra’s so tight I’m surprised you could breathe.”
“I just bought this damn thing for ninety dollars.”
“Ninety dollars for one bra?” Melody shook her head. “Just like you, sis, living above your means and everyone else’s.”
Sarah smirked. “Won’t have to for long with Keith in the picture. He’s fantastic, isn’t he, Melody? And he’s so nice to you. Wonder how he’d feel to know you been dogging him behind his back. Maybe I should tell him.”
Melody shrugged. “Tell him. Maybe it’ll be a surefire chance of getting rid of the son-of-a-bitch. You sure you got the right size bra?”
“Yes, I got the right size!” Sarah looked in the mirror.
“Oh, is someone touchy? Is someone perhaps gaining weight?” Melody grinned.
“This has nothing to do with weight, believe me.” Sarah rinsed crumbs from her mouth. “Okay, let’s go.”
Melody blocked her. “Wait, I need to talk to you.”
“Later, Keith’s waiting.”
“Is that all you care about? Keith?”
Sarah sighed. “What do you want to talk about, Melody?”
She squinted. “I’ve been trying to figure out why it took you so long to bring him around. You’ve been seeing him for a while.”
“Hell, I don’t know. Uh, I guess I didn’t want you to meet him until I was sure of him myself, that’s all. Please don’t read anything extra into this, Mel, like you always do. Keith and I are taking it slow.” Sarah waved her purse.
“Hmm, doesn’t seem too slow to me by the way he was fondling you. Sarah, he practically gave you a finger job in the car.”
“Oh, Mel, you’re disgusting and I don’t have time for this.” She tried to leave. Melody held her ground.
“Do you know enough about him? The kind of guy he is?”
“For the last damn time, I’m not about to get into this with you.” Two ladies walked into the restroom. “Can we please just go back and have a nice dinner? If you got something to say about Keith, it can wait until we get home.”
“Sarah, Keith is a jerk, and the more I spend time with him, the more I know it’s the truth.”
“I am getting sick of this shit, Mel. Now I’m always there for you, so now you need to be there for me. You’re just jealous because once again, you see Keith as someone who will eventually take your place and that’s not the case!”
