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.

This time Mel did feel a little heat rising, but it was nothing to do with embarrassment, and all to do with his hand on her shoulder. It seemed to trigger the memory of the kiss, and how good that felt and she ducked her head a little before clearing her throat and calling out, "catch you 'round," over her shoulder at him. She gave him a smile and wink, before enjoying watching his ass as he walked away from them.

Once he was gone she turned to Maddy. "Okay, now you spill, what's the goss on whatever it was that happened there, with this Valerie? And what were you two talking about that ended up with them fighting?"

Madeleine cracked up and started laughing, letting her head loll back in her merriment. “You’ve got a thing for Brian. Whew…” She helped herself to the last of his water, since her Coke had spilled and she was still thirsty. “If it helps, I’ve seen him naked. It was an accident but it was totally worth it.”

She fanned herself and sobered. It was necessary to think through her explanation; she didn’t want to seem evasive, but some of those details were personal and not really her business.

“Eh, Valerie wants to sew her oats, try to figure out who she is. You know. Totally normal college stuff. She’s a nice girl. She spilled the beans to me and I told her that Brian’s a besotted romantic with big gaga moon eyes and he wouldn’t be down with an open relationship, she was gonna break his heart, blah blah blah. They ended up having an argument and breaking up. Now I guess they’re back together, except apparently I was wrong.”

She scratched her head and settled her glasses higher on her nose.
