Jack went into the kitchen for a few minutes, and she sat down on the corner of the bed. Her face was beginning to hurt again, now that she was awake and more aware of her own body. Mel's wounds reminded her for Dave, for some reason. He always seemed like the one that would be getting into the most fights in their group. However, there she was...with a split lip and a black eye. Reaching up she touched her bruise, and wondered how Dave was doing. Did he get drunk last night? Surely he didnt miss either her nor Jack.

Just as she was about to wonder about the other two band members and Mr. Pitts, Jack entered the room and approached her with bandaids and loving hands. She smiled as she closed her eyes, allowing him to put the tiny bandaids where they mattered.


"Okay, we're ready to head over there. I'll go ahead and stay quiet about us, if it'll ease your mind. I don't want anyone's feelings hurt, especially not yours."

At first she just frowned. Did he not want people to know about them? Then, she eased her brow and smiled gently. Wouldnt it be more fun if it was a secret? She really didnt know how the others would react to her and Jack being involved, so she figured that it was best if it was kept quiet for now.

"I'm ready to roll out for the day. How about you?"

Melrose glanced over at him just in time to see him pull his pants up over his boxers. She was so glad that he didnt wear his pants down to his knees like many musicians. Really, she was overall thankful that she didnt have to give him fashion lessons. Standing up she crossed the room, completley unaware of how exotic her japanese features made her look...even when she was dressed in basketball clothes. Mel then took ahold of the front of his pants and pulled him closer, leaning up to give his chin a sweet kiss with the side of her mouth that wasnt injured.

“It wouldnt hurt my feelings if it got out that we were together, but...maybe it would be more interesting if it was a secret for now.” She grinned, and noticed that she was never more aware of how tall he was until she was standing right in front of him. “I'm ready when you are, today will be fun.”

With that said she turned around quickly, and skipped out of the room. She had gotten to spend the night snuggled up to the man she had been crushing on for months, and now she got to go back home where she would be able to play with the band and...perhaps get a dose before they headed off to the gig.
