Melody and her parent’s spent the entire dinner talking about college. Her mom told her to get online and sign up for classes first thing in the morning and hope there was still space in the dorms for her. Melody nodded and said she would right away. She hung out with her parents, watching TV, before heading to bed. It had been a long day and even with her nap she was ready to pass out. 

Hey Sweets just wanted to say good night..got to head to bed early for an early morning. Finals week is going to suck.  -R

Aww is the nerd worried about his grades? I’m sure you’ll do fine. Good night and good luck! -M

I’m going to let that one slide...this time -R

Riley put his cell on the charger and laid back in bed. He couldn’t stop thinking about her. He just wished he knew what she looked like.

Between classes, practices, work outs, and studying for finals Riley hadn’t had much time to text for a few days. It was Thursday night and he was completely done with all his finals. Most of his teammates were gone already or still had at least one more final on Friday so he had the night free. His only goal that night was to find out as much as he could about his Sweets.

Melody took off her shoes and headed straight for the shower. She was exhausted after another long day at the diner. She washed the grease and smell of fryer oil out of her hair and sighed at the amazing feeling of the hot water. She got out and toweled off. She pulled on some shorts and a large shirt to sleep in. She crawled into bed and grabbed the TV remote. Her cell went off and she smiled. She knew who it was and was excited. She hadn’t texted Riley a lot this week but she couldn’t help but get excited everytime he texted her.

How was work today? -R

Busy. thanks for asking. How was your final? -M

Hard. I’m just glad they are all done with. Now I can enjoy my break. Oh did you get a dorm with your friend like you wanted? -R

Yeah thanks, I'm sure, to her dad. He’s a big alumni donor. -M

Yeah i can see that being helpful. So...you going to tell me something new about you today. -R

Melody smiled. She had agreed to tell him one thing about her everyday. So far she told him simple things like her favorite color, her favorite ice cream, and that she had blue eyes. 

How about you tell me about yourself instead? -M

And what would you like to know Sweets? -R

Anything -M

Well I won’t be shy...I’m 20, architecture major, dark blonde hair, brown eyes...oh and NOT a nerd. -R

I don’t care what you say. You have yet to prove me wrong. -M

I won’t lie, I’m dying to know what you look like. I just keep picturing beautiful blue eyes. -R

You already know more about me than I ever thought I’d share. -M

Pls -R

I have long red hair. That’s where the demonic comes from...bc you know redheads are said to have no soul.lol -M

Hahaha yeah I’ve heard that. Wow red hair and blue eyes. That’s pretty rare. -R

Im falling asleep...in case I don’t reply back. It’s been a long day. -M

Then go to sleep Sweets. Now that my classes are over we’ll have more time to talk. I will actually be on vacation next week and  I hope to learn all about you. Sweet dreams -R

Night -M

Melody couldn’t stop smiling as she put her phone down and turned off the TV. It wasn’t long before she was fast asleep.

Riley put his phone on the charger and turned on some music. He was leaving for vacation the next day and still had to pack. When he was done he laid down and stared up at the ceiling. He knew he would be dreaming about his mysterious redhead with beautiful blue eyes.
