Chapter Nine - Release The Tension

This isn’t what I had planned. Nope, not at all. I’m riding in a van on my way to the hotel now, after flying all the way over, across the country, to New York City. From what Angela told me, I’m going to be stuck with Nick A LOT soon.

A LOT.

This can’t be good at all.

“A suite?” Melinda asked as she looked down at her card as she slipped it through the door, “Why do I have a suite?”, she asked herself as the bell boy went to take her bags into the suite and she looked over, seeing Nick walk out of one of the bedrooms, “God.”

“Um, what are you doing in here?” Nick asked as he looked over to see the bellboy bringing her bags in.

“They put me in here.”

“Fuck.” Nick muttered as he walked over to the sofa and sat down, “They put us in the same suite.”

“Shit.” Melinda said as she tipped the bell boy and he walked out of the suite, “I’ll just go in my room.”, she said as she leaned over and picked up her bags, and dragging them into the other bedroom. Nick looked back at her, watching her until she walked back out and he turned his head, looking back at the television, “By the way, I have some news for you.”

“What?”

“My father is getting remarried.”

“No shit?” Nick asked as he looked back at her and she walked around the sofa and sat down at the other end, looking at the TV.

“A little slut that works at his office that’s 3 years older than me.” Melinda said as Nick looked in shock, “And she’s pregnant.”

“You’re lying right?” Nick asked as Melinda shook her head, “Holy shit.”

“I told you how my father was.” Melinda said, “I just never expected him to settle down again.”

“And she’s like our age?” Nick asked, “God damn talk about robbing the cradle.”

“Yep, and she’s a slut too.” Melinda said, “I hate her. She’s got her nails digged into him now because she’s knocked up.”

“Hasn’t he ever heard of a condom?” Nick asked as Melinda looked over at him.

“I don’t think you’re one to preach.” Melinda said as she got up and started to walk back to the room she took her things and shut the door. Nick sat there; looking back at the TV until finally he put the remote down and walked over to her room and opened the door to see her changing clothes, “Get out!”

“No, was that a smart ass comment towards me because of what happened?” Nick asked as Melinda held her shirt up against her chest.

“What do you think?” Melinda asked, “Listen, that’s the last thing I want to talk or think about. It was a fucking mistake.”

“You mentioned it first.” Nick said as Melinda looked away, “Look from what my manager said, we’re gonna be together a lot over the next month I think and we need to get some shit straightened.”

“Can’t I just have a peaceful fucking night. I’ve had the day from hell alright?” Melinda yelled as Nick crossed his arms, looking at her, “I found out my father is marrying a slut that’s my age and she’s pregnant with his kid, and then I find out that I have to promote this god forsaken single with you and I can’t stand any of it! I just want to have a nice quiet night.”

“Okay.” Nick said as he looked at her, “I just want to understand what happened that night.”

“You kissed me, and after that I have no fucking clue.” Melinda said, “But I don’t want it to happen again.”

“It’s sick when you think about it.”

“Why?”

“We were brother and sister.”

“We were never brother or sister.”

“Okay yeah I know.” Nick said as he rubbed the back of his neck, “Just you know, it’s wrong.”

“Yes, very wrong.” Melinda said, “I mean who would want to have sex with you.”

“Hey! I think I’m pretty damn fuckable.” Nick said, “I mean you did me.”

“Oh god, you attacked me against a wall!” Melinda yelled at him as she walked over, trying to get something out of her bag and Nick walked up closer to her, “What?”

“I didn’t fucking attack you. You were more than fucking willing.” Nick said as Melinda cut her eyes over at him, “Don’t say I fucking attacked you because I didn’t.”

“Okay, you didn’t attack me.” Melinda said, “Happy?”

“I won’t be happy until you leave.”

“Then you leave.”

“I was here first.” Nick said, looking at her and she looked back at him, “For a second there when you first came in, we acted civil to each other. You kinda, hm, opened up to me -”

“By mistake.” Melinda said as she looked back down at her things and Nick put his hands on her arms and turned her around, “Stop.”

“No, we were civil and talked like humans and now we’ve started back bitching.”

“Because I don’t like you.”

“I don’t like you either.”

“Then let me go.” Melinda said, looking down at his hands and back up to him, “Nick let me fucking go before I scream.”

“You hate me don’t you?”

“So fucking much.”

“How much?” Nick asked as Melinda glared at him.

“So fucking much that I wish I could hit you right now and it would hurt you so much that -” Melinda started to say as Nick interrupted her, by kissing her deeply and taking her mouth in his. She mumbled for a minute and fought back until finally she stopped, and began kissing him back.

They kissed passionately as he backed her up towards the bed. Their hands were everywhere, ripping each other’s clothes off and tossing them wherever around the room. She ripped his shirt off and undid his pants, and he unclasped her bra, pulling it off.

Finally getting each other completely naked, they moved themselves onto the bed, where Nick sat against the headboard and Melinda climbed into his lap, straddling him.

Nick began to kiss her passionately again, but neither of them really needed any foreplay. Not that they had even thought about that anyway. Looking at her, he moved her legs so he could enter her better and when he was in, she let her breath out in delight. Their pace started off slow, but seconds later it was fast. Melinda moved up and down on top of him, making sure to slam down harder every few thrusts.

They were both sweating and panting, their lips never leaving each others as she worked them both towards their climaxes. Nick grabbed her ass, moving the pace to what he wanted as he began to suck on her nipples. Melinda moaned in response, pushing his head onto them harder. They were both groaning with each other and as she moved around him a little in a circular motion, he couldn’t hold back any longer, his orgasm taking over and hers did at the same time.

Nick sat there, not moving his face off of her breasts, trying to breathe. That had happened so fast and hard he wasn’t sure when they went from kissing, to fucking, to cumming. Then he finally moved his face and looked up at her to see that she had her eyes closed.

“Meli -”

“Don’t say nothing.” Melinda whispered back, without opening her eyes. Nick sat there looking at her and finally she opened her eyes looking at him, “Why did that happen again?”

“I don’t know.”

“You kissed me again.”

“Sorry.” Nick said as they both sat there, looking at each other and still trying to catch their breath, “Just -”

“What?” Melinda asked as she looked down and back up at him.

“I think we get along better if we do this.” Nick said as Melinda gave him a ‘what the fuck’ look, “I mean, we’re talking like regular human beings now.”

“That’s because we’re both confused.”

“But then we’ll go to fighting.”

“That’s what we do best.” Melinda said as Nick nodded his head a little, agreeing with her.

“We seem to do this pretty good too.”

“It’s just sex.”

“I know.”

“There’s no feelings involved.”

“I know.”

“I have no feelings for you.”

“Except hate.”

“Yes.” Melinda said, “It’s just cold hearted sex. That’s all.”

“I’m in shock we’re actually sitting here talking.” Nick said as Melinda started to laugh a little at him, “Maybe we should do this before interviews.”

“Set schedules to have sex with each other?” Melinda asked, “Are you out of your mind?”

“It would relieve the tension.” Nick said, “Then we won’t be hating on each other while promoting.”

“You come up with the most fucked up ideas.” Melinda said as Nick started to laugh, “Might not be so bad.”

“To relieve tension and we can talk in a decent manner.” Nick said, “That’s all.”

“Just sex.” Melinda said, “That’s all. Fuck buddies.”

“No, I wouldn’t call it that.”

“What would you call it then?”

“Business associates.” Nick said as Melinda looked down and Nick looked down, trying to look her in the eyes, “Wanna try and see if it helps?”

“But it’s you.” Melinda said as she looked up at him, “I don’t want to have sex with you or be near you like that.”

“I don’t wanna be near you like that either but somehow it’s happened twice.” Nick said as Melinda tilted her head a little, looking at him, “Maybe it’s our bodies so over powered by the hate that they need sex.”

“That’s the most stupid reason I’ve ever heard before in my life.” Melinda said as Nick smiled a little and laughed at himself. Melinda reached over, picking up her shirt and put it across her chest as she moved off of him and sat down on the bed, “It’s like when I realize what I’ve done with you that I think about the little boy that I used to throw shit at and hit in the head.”

“Yeah well I see you without a top on and I wonder when the hell did that little skinny girl get breast?” Nick said as Melinda started to laugh a little, “Grew up kinda nicely.”

“Is that a compliment?” Melinda asked, looking over at Nick.

“Maybe it is I guess.” Nick said as he pulled his boxers on and sat there on the bed, with his hands held together and then looked over at her, “Do you want to try that?”

“The sex to relieve tension so we won’t be bitchy while promoting?” Melinda asked as Nick nodded his head a little, “I don’t know.”

“It was just an idea.” Nick said, “I just know how I feel after we do that. I don’t feel like bitching at you or anything.”

“Yeah, me either.” Melinda said as she sighed, “Okay if we do -”

“Yes?”

“We can’t tell anybody, like our families. They can’t know.” Melinda said, “I don’t want my father to know or Bianca or anything -”

“I don’t want mine to know. My mom would probably smack me.” Nick said as Melinda started to laugh a little, “So it’s agreed?”

“Yes, when we start to get bitchy towards one another, we’ll have sex.”

“Right.” Nick said as he nodded his head, “I have a feeling this is gonna happen a lot.”

“Probably so.” Melinda said, “And another few rules -”

“Yes?”

“If say I meet a guy, I can sleep with him if I want.”

“Well yeah, you’re single and all, go for it.” Nick said, “Same goes with me if I meet a girl.”

“Yes.” Nick said, “Fuck.”

“What?” Melinda asked, looking over at him.

“Didn’t use anything again.” Nick said, looking over at her, “Sorry.”

“From now on, we use something. That’s another rule. I don’t want to get pregnant.”

“Definitely not, god.” Nick said as he shook his head no, “We don’t need a damn kid together.”

“I’d rather die.” Melinda said as Nick nodded his head agreeing with her, “So deal?”

“Deal.”

“Let’s shake on it.

“Alright.” Nick said as he smiled, and they both reached their right hands out, shaking each other’s, “Now I’m going to go shower.”

“Me too.” Melinda said as they both climbed off of the bed, “Separately.”

“Of course.” Nick said a she walked out of her room and she walked into her bathroom, shutting the door.
