    Summary

    Mel looked up and that was her first memory of Frank Langdon. His handsome face smiling down at the two girls from over the vines and leaves. He spoke softly and even toned, and the fear Mel had that they'd get in trouble was immediately soothed by the kindness in his eyes and smile.

    "It looks like a bad cucumber," Becca informed him.

    He laughed and motioned the girls over to the other side of the fence where it was easier to see into his yard, and then pointed at another baby melon.

    "If you're careful with them, they get bigger and turn into proper watermelons," he explained, "but you have to be gentle with them when they're babies like this."

    Mel waits for her school bus, and finally meets her new neighbor.

    "I was wondering if you could maybe, um, pretend to be my boyfriend? Please? Just until he backs off a bit. You don’t have to, I might be able to find someone else and I’m sorry for even asking but-”

    “It’s okay,” Frank says, softer than he means to. “I’ll do it.”

    Summary

    "This is something only daddies get to do. But you don't want to do this with your daddy, do you?"

    She shakes her head, "No."

    "No, you don't. That's right. So if we do this I need two things – one, this has to stay our little secret. No one else can know, especially not your parents. Understood?"

    A fervent nod of her head.

    "Good. And two, I need you to call me daddy. If you don’t, we have to stop. Can you do that?"

    Another nod.

    "I need to hear you say it, baby."

    "...Yes, daddy."

    Summary

    “I just– I don’t understand why you kissed me if you didn’t…want this.” 

    His expression morphs into something between fear and disbelief and he takes a step closer, her arm held to his chest. “What are you talking about? What do you mean I don’t want this?” 

    “I heard what you said today. To Donnie. I shouldn’t– I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I swear, I was…looking for you. And I heard you. I just wish you would have talked to me instead of, I don’t know. Instead of trying to get rid of me.” 

    Frank gawks at her. “That’s what you think this is? You think I’m too chicken-shit to talk to you about how I feel so I, what, concoct some fucked-up strategy to get you to leave first? Jesus, Mel, is that really what you think of me?” 

    --
    Mel and Frank have their first fight. They fuck it out.

    • emergency medicine
    • taking care of Becca
    • boba
    • pretending she is NOT in love with Frank Langdon

    This system works perfectly until Frank starts treating her like she already belongs to him.
