Testing time

[melodymagic]

Melody had called Maddy the next morning, after meeting Theresa in the coffee shop, and asked her if she was working that day. She really wanted to try the potion, and it had a half life of thirty six hours before it started losing its potency. She'd been checking the colour and giving the bottle the shake it needed every so often to prevent the ingredients from separating.

When Maddy said she was working the late shift Melody was glad, and asked her to meet her for an early lunch, as Melody was working that afternoon and evening at a function in the Skylark. She hurried along the sidewalk, turning into the plaza and glancing up at the clock displayed in the centre of the outdoor dining area. She was a little late and she scanned the area, looking for Maddy. A series of small cafes and restaurants clustered around the area, making the most of the lunchtime trade from the businesses located all around.

His first thought was that Melody choked on a beverage. A really strong one. Jeez, was she tying one on this early in the day? Granted he was the last person to judge, but…

He flinched as she clutched his shoulder. Mel didn’t smell like booze but he’d seen that sloppy posture before, that utter lack of vocal coordination, so looked to Maddy for help. “What’s she saying?” The only word he picked out was ‘kiss’. It wasn’t a horrible thought, but he didn’t think it was a real invitation.

Jab, jab, magic.

Brian blanched white up to his hairline. “Oh…shhhhhhit.” He splayed his hands but didn’t know where to put them. The sandwich bag hit the ground. “Oh god. Can you—can you stick your finger down your throat?” he asked, employing the tried-and-true method of dodging alcohol poisoning.

“What’s it do?” he demanded.

"BIGGgertimescirclezandYOUaretoooocute!" Melody giggled, her hand now gripping Brian's shoulder. She blinked and blinked again, then tugged on his shoulder and pulled him against her, the hand with the vial now on the back of his head as she kissed him, hungrily, and without reservation of any description. The hand that had been on his shoulder slid down and grasped his ass and gave it a squeeze as she pulled him closer.

“Whoa!”

Maddy’s eyes bulged from the sockets as she watched Melody’s fingers squeeze Brian’s ass like a tube of playdough. “Uh…”

Frantic, she looked for a solution.

She grabbed a glass of ice water from a passing waitress and dumped it on her friends.

Brian’s eyes widened, he opened his mouth, and then Melody – shy, awkward, rule obeying Melody – had her tongue down his throat. “Mmphh—!” He stood stock-still, palms in the air as if to tell the world, ‘it wasn’t me, I didn’t do it!’ His earphones hung crookedly around his neck.

She’s a pretty good kisser, he thought randomly, right before she cupped his ass.

Man, she was really gripping.

In the space of a few seconds, he thought about Valerie, and whether standing here in shocked acceptance was considered cheating, and whether their flexible relationship had a concept of cheating, and whether Valerie would just wish she was here to partake, and then, what the hell, he’d kiss Melody back because after all, he did poison her, and just as he was angling his face and returning the gesture, COLD!
