Read Melody (THE LOGAN FAMILY) for Free Online

Melody wondered if he’d taken lessons. His black hair appeared blue underneath the luminous lights. The more Melody spent time with Lucas, the more she remembered the good old days.
    She laughed. The couples next to them glanced at her. They eventually went back to their own charismatic moments.
    “Now what’s so funny?” Lucas laughed. “I don’t think it’s a good sign when a woman laughs while we’re dancing. What, do I have a piece of bread or something in my teeth?”
    She laughed. “No!”
    “What then?” Lucas grinned. “Is something hanging out of my nose?”
    “Oh man, that’s gross.” Melody guffawed. “I was just thinking, that’s all. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do while dancing. Let the mood take you away?”
    He smirked. “I suppose so. So that’s all, huh? You sure you weren’t laughing at me?”
    She nodded. “Since we’re dancing, I might as well ask you something. Do you have a girlfriend, Lucas?”
    “Come on, Mel, you know me and girls. I haven’t changed that much.” He walled his eyes.
    “And what does that mean?”
    “You know how picky I am with women. I can’t help it. I’m picky with everything.” She grinned. “I can’t even decide on what pair of socks to wear in the mornings without regretting the decision. You think I could be fulfilled with one girlfriend?”
    “Ahh, I see.” She raised an eyebrow. “So, it’s not that you can’t find one; it’s just that you have so many.” She laughed.
    “I date, yes.” He shrugged. “We are in our twenties, Mel. This is the age to have fun. I haven’t been with a lot of women if that’s what you’re thinking. But if you want to know if there is someone special in my life, then the answer is no.” Melody smiled.
    “Do you have a boyfriend?”
    “No, I’m not too good when it comes to relationships. I kind of got other things on my mind.”
    Lucas grinned. “I remember how you and Craig used to break up and get back together, like what, every damn weekend back in high school.”
    “You remember all that?”
    “Of course.” He winked. “I probably kept up with your relationship better than you guys did.” He grinned. “I always thought about you, Melody. And it wasn’t just about friendship.”
    She stopped dancing. “Lucas, did you have a crush on me back then?”
    “Well kind of, yeah.” He twirled her around. “Are you surprised?”
    “Of course! I mean the most handsome and wealthiest boy in the school liked me?” She laughed. “I wish those bitches who used to give me trouble back then knew this. Why didn’t you tell me before?”
    “Duh, because you were with Craig. Then by the time it was all over, school was over and we’d all split ways. Anyway, I knew you didn’t feel the same about me so…”
    “Unbelievable.” She sighed. “Lucas, I wish you’d said something back then!”
    “Why?” He laughed. “Would you have dumped Craig or something?”
    “No, but it would have been nice to know. I mean, that was my awkward stage. That’s definitely the time to tell a girl you’re interested in her.”
    He laughed. “You’re something else, Mel. And I’ve missed you constantly all this time. It seems like fate just being here like this, doesn’t it?”
    “Yeah.” Melody glanced at the table. Sarah sat in Keith’s lap while he fondled her backside. She wondered how far they’d go in public.
    Lucas exhaled. “May I ask why you left school? I never had the courage to back then.”
    She ran her hand down his arm. “So much was happening. I had too many problems. I couldn’t deal with Aunt Lucia going crazy by the second. I missed being apart from Sarah all those years. No one in the school seemed to be able to stand me but you, Craig and Aileen. I felt so alone. I wanted to cut out everything that made me unhappy. School just made everything more difficult. I couldn’t handle it. I just needed space.”
    “Yeah, I remember your Aunt Lucia. The one who took care of
