Josie and the Pussycats

Alexandra Mellows Out

Chapter 5

After the conclusion of the adventure in Abernethy Forest, things seemed to fall back into a state of normalcy for the band. They arrived at their next tour stop in Inverness, Scotland without further incident.

Once in Inverness, Alexander arranged for Alan and Alexandra to see a doctor. After a few very painful stitches, Alan was told his face would eventually heal but plastic surgery would be required to remove the scarring completely. Josie immediately offered to pay for the eventual surgery no matter how expensive it was. Alan didn’t try to dissuade her.

Alexandra, despite the group’s previous concerns, was told she was in perfect health despite requiring immediate rest from exhaustion. A few hours later in the girls’ hotel suite, Alexandra tried to get ready to watch the band’s performance. However, after much convincing from Melody, she ended up staying in bed. She fell asleep only minutes after Melody put her under the covers.

Josie had watched the entire exchange between the two and found it a bit peculiar. They were definitely acting differently than usual. While Melody was always a positive and friendly person, she had never seen her worry so much about Alexandra in particular before. Seeing Alexandra actually listen to someone else’s advice was even more jarring.

She knew that they had both saved each other’s lives in the past 24 hours. Still, it seemed a bit strange to her. For one, yesterday was certainly not the first time they had faced danger together.

Josie and the Pussycats went on to play a very successful gig. Alexandra slept through it all. She didn’t wake again until the next morning when the band was preparing to leave for their next and final Scottish tour date in Fort William.

Quite rested, Alexandra was able to make it to the concert this time. The venue was another moderately large club packed with fans. Alexandra sat with her brother at a table near the bar to watch the show.

The set included all of the tracks off their new LP as well as a few older fan favorites such as “Stop, Look, and Listen” and “Road Runner.” During all of it, Alexandra stared up at Melody on the drums. As the beautiful girl swayed her cat-ear wearing head back and forth with the rhythm, Alexandra was almost hypnotized into a trance.

The show seemed to have gone on longer than most of their sets, and both the crowd and Alexandra assumed it would soon be over. After the band finished playing “My Love Is like a Waterfall,” Melody got up from her drum kit and Valerie left the stage. Melody walked up and stood in front of the band near a microphone, and Valerie returned without her tambourines and got behind Melody’s drum kit.

“Hey, what the heck’s going on?” Alexandra asked her brother.

“They’re going to try out that new number they’ve been working on with Melody singing solo without any backup. They’ve been planning this for a while.”

“Oh, really? Melody is going to sing solo?” She must have not been paying enough attention to the band’s deliberations recently to have heard about these plans, but she could recall that Melody and Valerie had been having long discussions about lyrics for a new song.

Suddenly, Josie began strumming an enticing rhythm on her guitar, and Valerie began drumming a catchy beat. Valerie wasn’t nearly as skilled as Melody on the drums, but she was proficient enough to get the job done. Melody then stepped up closer to the microphone, and soon, beautifully sung lyrics began escaping from her supple lips.

As was the case with many of their songs, the topic of this one was love. This time it was the tale of the unrequited love of a girl for someone nearby that was in love with someone else. Alexandra listened and watched intently. She was then completely caught off guard as Melody turned her head and stared directly into her eyes from forty feet away on the stage as she sang the chorus. “Baby, I want you in my arms and in my life. I know I’m the only one that can make you feel right. I want you. I need you. I want you.”

Alexandra’s cheeks lit up like two stop lights. As Josie and Valerie began playing the bridge, Melody gave a big wink aimed directly at Alexandra. Alexandra reacted by falling off of her bar stool to the ground.

“Sis? Sis! Are you all right? You look like you just had a heart attack!” he told her as he helped her back up off the ground.

“No, no, I think I’m gonna live,” she said, sounding completely flustered and blushing madly.

Up on the stage, Melody stepped back away from the microphone and covered her lips so she could snicker for a moment. She then went back to the microphone and finished singing her song.

The band finished performing the song, which was the last song of their set. The show and especially Melody’s solo performance had been a resounding success. In fact, the crowd had been whipped into a frenzy that almost broke out into a lust riot simply due to the fact that Melody, easily the most desired member of the band, had sung a love song with the refrain “I want you.”

Eventually, things cooled down, and the club emptied. Backstage, Josie and Valerie were chatting with each other. “Wow, Melody did so great out there! I’m so proud of her!” Josie said.

“Me too. We should let her sing lead a lot more often. She did forget a few of the lyrics I worked on with her though, or she changed them anyways.”

“Yeah? Which ones?”

“Well, instead of ‘he was’ she used ‘you were’ and stuff like that.”

“Who cares? I think it sounded great!”

“Yeah, I think it’s better that way actually. Kind of like she was singing directly to the audience or something. It definitely got a great response out of the crowd. That’s for sure.”

Melody and Alan joined them. They were all very congratulatory to Melody for her successful solo performance. She was very pleased to receive the attention but was humble enough to say that she wasn’t the one responsible for it. Valerie assumed she was talking about the help she had given her in scribing the lyrics but told her that the song wouldn’t have worked as well without her impassioned delivery.

Finally, Sebastian, Alexander, and Alexandra joined the four backstage.

“So what did you think, Alexandra?” Josie asked her, sarcasm strong in her voice. “Terrible as usual, right?” It was almost pointless to ask her this question since the answer was always the same, but either Josie or Valerie usually did so anyways out of tradition.

“To call it terrible would be a disservice to actual terrible bands. Maybe sub-terrible would be the more appropriate term,” she said with much of her usual haughty attitude. Josie and Valerie groaned loudly. Alexandra then went on, “Except for Melody’s solo number… that… that was actually quite excellent. Lovely really. The drumming for the whole concert was also pretty groovy over all.”

Melody lit up like the sun. “Wooow, thank you so much, Alexandra!” She then gave her a beaming smile.

“You’re welcome, Melody.” Alexandra smiled pleasantly back at her.

Josie and Valerie’s mouths were wide open in shock. “I… I can’t believe what I just heard,” Josie said.

“Tell me about it,” Valerie agreed. “Did we just enter the Twilight Zone?”

“Well, I guess Melody’s number is going to be a huge hit if even Alexandra likes it,” Alan said, also quite befuddled.

“Yeah, you got that right,” Valerie agreed. “Just never go solo on us for real, Melody, or me and Josie are doomed.”

Melody giggled. “Don’t worry about it. I won’t. I don’t even know what solo means. Isn’t a solo a kind of snack cake?”

“I think you’re thinking of Ho-Hos,” Josie told her.

“Well they’re yummy, but how do you go Ho-Ho? Do I have to be dipped in chocolate and filled with cream?” Everyone groaned loudly and shook their heads. Everyone that is except for Alexandra, who was still smiling contently at her. Melody noticed, locked eyes with Alexandra, and smiled back.

Sometime later, Josie, Valerie, and Melody were relaxing in the suite they were sharing in the Fort William Hilton. They were all already dressed for bed. Josie wore another one of her simple nightgowns, this time light blue in color. Valerie wore a more elaborate and elegant purple silk nightgown, and Melody opted for an incredibly cute pair of pink polka-dot pajamas.

As they were contemplating what to order from room service, Josie suddenly realized why it was much more quiet and pleasant in the room than usual. “Where’s Alexandra?” she asked.

“I heard her saying something about paying for her own suite,” Valerie answered.

“She must have finally gotten too good to sleep with the rest of us girls,” Josie said.

Melody looked a little upset. “You really think so? Not with any of us?” she asked her.

“Well, I don’t know about you, Melody. You certainly seem to be on her good side,” Josie told her.

“That’s the understatement of the year,” Valerie said. “I think that’s the first real compliment I’ve ever heard from Alexandra to anyone other than Alan my entire life. Exactly what did you do with her in the woods the other day to get her like that? I mean other than what you did to the druid,” Valerie added a bit uncomfortably. She hoped soon she would be able to wipe that fact from her memory completely. “But anyways, maybe you could clue us in. It would be heaven to get that girl off our backs too.”

“I think I know what I did, but it’s a secret,” Melody said with a slightly devious expression.

“No fair, Melody!” Josie protested. Melody giggled.

“Yeah, keeping a goldmine like that a secret is just plain uncalled for!” Valerie agreed.

“Sorry, Valerie, but I can’t,” she said before giggling some more.

“Will you tell us for a hundred dollars?” Valerie asked.

“Nope.”

“What about a thousand?” Josie asked.

“Nu-uh,” she said, shaking her head cutely. Josie and Valerie both sighed and frowned.

The group then heard a knock at the door. “I’ll get it,” Josie said. She went and opened the door. She was greeted by a bell hop in a red uniform and cap standing on the other side.

“Mail for Miss Melody Jones,” he said. He handed Josie the envelope.

“Thank you! Here, wait!” Josie went and fished in her purse for £5 bill and then handed it to the man. He thanked her and walked off. Josie handed Melody the envelope.

“More fan mail, huh?” Valerie asked.

“Let me see.” Melody quickly ripped open the letter and read the note enclosed inside.

Dear Melody,

My room number is 157. Please come over as soon as possible. However, whatever you do, don’t tell anyone you’re meeting me. Looking very forward to seeing you.

Alexandra


“So what does it say?” Josie asked her.

Melody quickly put the note behind her back. “Oh, nothing. Valerie was right. It’s just more fan mail. He he, you know me and my fans.”

“Yeah, I know you have like ten times more fans than we do,” Josie said, sounding unenthused.

“Maybe we’d be more successful if we changed the name of the band to Melody and the Pussycats,” Valerie suggested. Josie gave her a nasty glare. “Hey, it was just an idea.”

“I think I saw Chick-O-Sticks in the vending machine. Golly, I sure love Chick-O-Sticks! I think I’m going to go get one now. See you guys later!” she explained as she walked towards the door.

“That sounds good,” Valerie said. “Get me one too.”

Sorry, can’t hear you! Bye bye!” She then abruptly slammed the door shut.

“Is it just me or was Melody acting a little weird just now?” Valerie asked.

“You mean there’s a time when Melody isn’t acting weird?” Josie asked back.

“Great point.”

A few short minutes later, Melody was standing barefoot in her pajamas in front of the door of Room 157. She knocked on the door, and a moment later, it opened. There stood Alexandra. She was dressed in her incredibly sexy and skimpy red nighty. She had also removed the bow that usually held her ponytail, allowing her vibrant dark hair to flow freely down her back. She was quite a sight to behold.

“Melody, dear, I’m really glad you came over,” she told her. She then gave her a very pleased but also somewhat nervous smile. Seeing Alexandra look even a little bit nervous was a bit strange. Even during all the times they had been faced with danger or abducted by villains, she had never shown a hint of nervousness.

Melody also noticed that for some reason Alexandra was blushing madly. She then tipped her head down at the slightly shorter dark haired girl. There was no mistake about it. Under that very skimpy, frilly, nearly see-through red nighty of hers, she was wearing absolutely nothing else. Her breasts and nearly everything else were almost completely exposed.

“Thanks for inviting me over, Alexandra,” she said as she continued to take a peek down into Alexandra’s curvy and almost completely bare cleavage.

“Come in please,” she said as she stepped aside, still blushing wildly. Melody walked inside. After she passed through, Alexandra let go of the door. It slid back into the frame but did not close shut completely.

Melody was amazed by both the room’s size and the opulence of its décor. “Woooow, this is much nicer than our room!”

“It’s the royal suite.”

“Gosh, it must be expensive!”

“I’m rich you know. I can afford very nice things. I can spend a lot of money on anyone I want to. That’s one of the perks of being uh… friends with me.”

“Oh, what are these?” Melody asked excitedly, eyeing the tray near the bed. It held a large plate covered with hors d\\\'oeuvres.

“Those are canapés with quail eggs and black truffles.”

“What’s that?”

“Think of it as a really exquisite version of eggs and toast with really delicious mushrooms.”

“That sounds really yummy! I love eggs and toast!”

“I know you do. I got them for you. I thought you might want a late night snack.”

Alexandra watched pleasantly as the cute girl devoured one of the delicious disc shaped pieces of toast topped with a fried quail egg and decadent black truffles. “It’s so yummy!” Alexandra smiled again, although she still looked a bit nervous. “Don’t you want any, Alexandra?”

“No, I’m not hungry. They’re all for you, Melody.”

“Thank you!” she said before she continued gobbling them down.

Alexandra then went to a bottle of wine sitting in a bucket of ice near the bed. She removed the cork with the provided cork screw and then nervously went to pour it into one of the two glass goblets that were on the tray next to the plate of hors d\\\'oeuvres. Melody noticed she was having trouble pouring it due to her hands shaking so badly. She stopped eating, took the bottle from Alexandra, and poured it for her.

“Wine too?” Melody asked.

“Yeah, I thought it would be nice to have some with you,” she explained sheepishly.

He he. Josie and Valerie don’t seem to like me drinking alcohol. It’s like they’re almost afraid of what would happen. I don’t know why though. It’s funny, because people always ask me if I was drinking when I haven’t been. I wonder why they do that,” she said as she also poured Alexandra a glass.

“I have no idea, Melody,” she fibbed. She had steadied her hand enough to drink at this point and took a long sip from the goblet. She then watched as Melody quickly gulped down her entire glass and then went to pour herself some more. “Wait, don’t drink too much! I just want the wine to ummm… help us take the edge off a bit.”

“Take the edge off of what?” Melody asked with her usual cute confused look.

“It means it will relax us.”

Ohh.” Melody then smiled, before she took a slower sip from her refilled glass. “Ok, Alexandra. I won’t drink too much, but aren’t you the one who needs to take the edge off?” she asked with a devious little look on her face.

Ye..yeah, you’re right.” She then took a much bigger drink out of her glass.

Melody raised her eyebrow and shot another suggestive look over at Alexandra. “Sooo, Alexandra, why did you invite me over?”

“Well… I wanted to… have a uh sleep over.

“Yay! That sounds like fun! I’ll go invite over Josie and Valerie!”

“No, don’t!” she pleaded. “I just want it to be me and you, ok?”

Suddenly, Melody’s smile edged up a bit into more of a smirk. “Awww. You want to spend time with me, huh?”

Yeah.” Alexandra’s cheeks were again beat red, and she had trouble looking the cute blonde in the eyes. “I was thinking we could… uh well you know.”

Melody giggled. “Know what?”

You know…” Alexandra grunted, getting frustrated.

“You mean you want to play Parcheesi?”

“No, I don’t want to play Parcheesi, Melody,” she said, sounding slightly annoyed.

“Oh, then how about we play Candy Land? That’s my favorite!”

“Listen, I don’t want to play any board games… I want to… do weird stuff,” she said, almost whispering the last words.

He he. Can you say that louder, Alexandra?”

“Weird stuff! All right!” she yelled. “You know what I mean. You seemed to want to do it before.”

“Ok, weird stuff. Got it. Let’s put our underwear on our heads and run around the lobby yelling, ‘The pickles are coming! The pickles are coming!’ That would be pretty weird, right?”

Alexandra rolled her eyes harshly. “Not that kind of weird… Listen, would you give me a break here, Melody? I’m not used to doing this kind of thing.”

Ohhhhh,” she said. “I think I know what you want.”

Alexandra looked at her again. “You do?”

Melody shook her head up and down. “Uh huh,” she chirped.

“Well, then what is it?”

“Bad Alexandra! I can’t tell you. That’s cheating! He he he!

“Cheating? You really don’t know what I mean, do you?” she asked, sounding irritated.

“Of course I do. But it’s no fun to just tell you, silly! Close your eyes and sit down. Then I’ll show you, and you can tell me if I got it right.”

She sat down on the edge of the bed. “Close my eyes?”

“Uh huh,” she chirped again cheerfully.

“Well, all right,” Alexandra said, sounding very nervous. She closed her eyes and let out an audible gulp.

The very uncharacteristically nervous Alexandra just looked so adorable to Melody. She couldn’t help but giggle at the sight of her. She then decided to just stand there and watch her for a bit to help build up the suspense.

As time passed by, Alexandra was getting more and more antsy. “Are you going to do anything or this just a joke?” she muttered. “This is getting stupid, Melo-th-ma-maaaeh…” she mumbled as she was cut off by Melody’s wet lips being pressed against her own.

Alexandra’s eyes shot open in surprise. Melody then put her hand on the back of Alexandra’s head to hold her still as she deepened the kiss. As soon as the initial surprise wore off, Alexandra closed her eyes and allowed Melody to continue. With each movement of Melody’s lips rubbing and sliding against Alexandra’s, she seemed to push deeper and deeper into her mouth.

Soon, Alexandra began to reciprocate the kiss by moving her lips as well. Both girls fell into a pleasant, pleasurable rhythm. Alexandra put her arms around Melody and hugged her tight, partly because she wanted to and partly for support. The pleasure from simply feeling Melody’s lips all over her mouth was almost too much for her to handle.

Finally, Melody removed her lips from Alexandra’s mouth. It took a couple moments for Alexandra to open her eyes back up again. She was a bit disoriented. “So did I guess right?” Melody asked before giggling and giving her a sly grin.

“Yeah,” Alexandra said, half-winded as she tried to catch her breath.

“So which one was better? This one or the first time I kissed you?”

“This one. It was longer and better, but I also really wanted it this time. I wanted it so bad.

Melody giggled pleasurably and then gave her an extremely pleased smile. “Me too, Alexandra. So how about we do it again?”

“Yes, please.” They locked eyes and wrapped their arms back around each other. Their lips then slowly slid back into each other, and they both melted into another wonderful kiss.

Meanwhile, Alexander and Alan were in a room on the opposite end of the floor. Alan was already sound asleep in one of the two queen-sized beds. He wanted to be well rested for the long drive back to England tomorrow, so he had went to sleep a bit early.

Alexander, on the other hand, was searching through his luggage for some misplaced paperwork. Specifically, he was searching for the tour schedule and itinerary. He wanted to double check it to make sure he hadn’t forgotten anything for the remaining tour dates. He then recalled that he had foolishly let Alexandra look at it in the van while they were traveling in-between tour stops a few days ago.

Despite the fact that she had insisted on being left alone tonight, he left the room and started walking down the hall towards Alexandra’s suite.

It was a long walk, but soon he was at the door to the royal suite. Strangely, he found that the door was a small crack ajar. He gave it a gentle push, and it slid all the way open. He wasn’t exactly prepared for what he saw on the other side.

After having spent the past few minutes thoroughly exploring every part of Alexandra’s tongue with her own, Melody removed her tongue and lips from Alexandra’s mouth. “And that’s a French kiss.”

Baby, you’re so good at that!”

“Can you believe I’m not even French?” she asked. “Oh, hi, Alexander!” Melody greeted him cheerfully after spotting him in the doorway.

His jaw was wide open in shock. When Alexandra saw him, she was absolutely furious. “If you don’t get out of here right now, I swear to god I’m going to beat your chicken carcass to a bloody to pulp and then Kentucky fry you in a bat of oil! You hear me?” she screeched.

I… I… didn’t see anything!” he pleaded. Alexandra picked up the lamp on the nightstand and tossed it at him. He shut the door right before it would have hit him, and the lamp shattered into a hundred pieces.

Alexander started speed walking back down the hall. “Jesus Christ, I need to learn how to knock. And why am I feeling so jealous of my sister right now?” he mumbled to himself.

Further down the hall, next to the vending the machine, were Josie and Valerie.

“Why does Melody have to be get so worked up after every single show?” Valerie complained. “Who knows where she wandered off to.”

“Well, she did just get fan mail,” Josie said. “Maybe she told some of the fans which hotel we were staying in.”

Valerie rolled her eyes harshly.

“Hey, it wouldn’t be the first time this has happened. I’m just saying it’s a possibility.” Valerie didn’t dignify her with a response.

Suddenly, the two women ran into Alexander, who had just turned the corner in the hallway on the way back to his room. “Alexander! Do you know where Melody is?” Josie asked him. “We’re looking for her.”

M-m-melody?” Alexander looked like he had seen a ghost.

“Yeah, have you seen her?” Josie asked.

“No, I-I-I-I haven’t,” he stuttered nervously.

“Do you know Alexandra’s room number?” Valerie asked. “Maybe we should ask her too.”

“No, wait!” Alexander shouted. “You can’t go there!”

Josie raised her eyebrow. “Why not?”

“Melody is in Alexandra’s room, but they don’t want to be bothered.”

“Oh, she is?” Josie asked, sounding relieved. “But what would she be doing in Alexandra’s room?”

“They’re uhhhh… playing chess. Yeah… chess. That’s it.”

Josie and Valerie both looked very suspicious. “Chess? You can’t be serious,” Valerie said.

“Yes, and they need a lot of concentration. So they don’t want to be disturbed.”

“I just can’t imagine Alexandra or Melody playing chess,” Josie said.

“I love chess,” Valerie added. “But yeah, the idea of Melody, of all people, playing a game that requires that much strategy doesn’t seem very believable.”

“Yeah, they’re both very bad at it. So it may take them all night to finish the game. You should just leave them alone. Anyways, I have to go now! I have important manager things to do. Phone calls, book keeping, you know! Later!” he said before he started sprinting down the hallway.

Josie and Valerie started walking back towards their suite. “What was with Alexander?” Valerie asked. “He looked scared out of his mind.”

“He probably saw a mouse in the hallway.”

Valerie chuckled. “Still, I can’t get over the idea of Melody playing chess. I’m going to have to play a game with her sometime. I need to see this for myself.”

“I just think it’s really nice that Alexandra and Melody are getting along now.”

“Well, if it helps take some of the heat off us with Alexandra, I’m certainly all for it.”

Back in the royal suite, Alexandra was still quite upset. Melody finished putting the last ceramic shard of broken lamp into the garbage. She then locked the door and sat down next to Alexandra.

Alexandra was staring at the ground, dejected. “I can’t believe that happened. This is bad… really bad.

“It’s not bad. Maybe for Alexander. I think I saw him pee his pants.” She then giggled at how utterly terrified he was of Alexandra’s fury.

“Well, he should know if he ever says anything, he’s going to die,” she said.

Melody put her hands on Alexandra’s shoulders and began to give them a gentle, soothing rub. “Relax, Alexandra. You shouldn’t let that bother you.”

“Meow!” Sebastian agreed. The two suddenly noticed him next to them on the bed.

“What are you doing here?” Alexandra spat off. “Were you watching us too, you pervy fur-ball? I’ll skin you alive!

Mrow!” Before she could grab him, he jumped off the bed and quickly ran under it.

Melody pulled Alexandra back closer to her and intensified the massage. With her petite but very skilled fingers, she kneaded away the tenseness of Alexandra’s flesh. Soon, Alexandra was like putty in her hands. “This is supposed to be our night. Let’s enjoy it, ok?” she whispered into her ear.

“Ok,” Alexandra purred.

Good.” They both turned and again they kissed. However, after a couple minutes, Melody suddenly kissed away from her lips and across her cheek. She then slowly kissed down until her lips came to rest on the nape of her neck. She began kissing it intensely and lashed it a few times with her tongue. She then began gently sucking on it.

Pleasure shot through Alexandra’s body, and she began moaning. That pleasure intensified when Melody took her right hand and began sliding her fingers back and forth across Alexandra’s inner thigh. “Oh, Melody,” she cried out pleasurably.

Melody’s fingers touched further and further up the inside of Alexandra’s thigh. She then kissed over to her shoulder. When her lips met the strap of her nighty, she reached up with her free hand and slid it off. Alexandra suddenly pulled away from her and put back on her strap.

Melody looked up at Alexandra’s deeply blushing face a bit surprised. “What’s wrong?”

Alexandra averted her glance. “Well, umm uh… grrrr,” she finally growled, frustrated.

Melody giggled at her cute frown, “He he he. I may not know a lot of things, like arithmetic or what the capitol city of Boise, Ohio is, but I know when I’m being seduced, Alexandra. Isn’t this what you wanted?”

Alexandra was still looking away from her. “Yeah,” she blurted out, “but it’s just…”

“Oh! You’re nervous because you’re a virgin,” Melody realized. “Don’t worry. I think that’s really cute!”

Alexandra was shocked. “Wha-wha-wha? How did you know that?”

Melody scooted back over to her. She then ran her fingers through the white stripe of silky hair on the top of Alexandra’s head and down through the long dark locks hanging down her back. She then continued to reach back up and do so again and again. The sensation felt strangely soothing to Alexandra. “I just thought so. We spend a lot of time together, Alexandra. I think I know you a lot better than you think I do. And isn’t that what the V on that ray gun meant?” she asked.

Despite Melody’s soothing touch, she was still extremely embarrassed. “Even Valerie didn’t figure that out,” she said, befuddled. “I thought you said it meant ventriloquist.”

“I said that because I thought it would be funny,” she said, giggling some more. “Besides, saying it meant virgin would be really embarrassing.”

Thank you.

He he, don’t mention it. I just can’t believe Captain Kirk is such a pervert. But anyways, it’s not a big deal if you’re a virgin. ”

“It is.”

“No, it’s not.”

“You don’t understand, Melody. For five years, I’ve been… saving myself for Alan. Ever since high school. Since you first hired him as your roadie. Maybe even since the moment I first saw him. I’ve waited and waited for him to make the right decision. But it never did any good. I should’ve realized five years ago that Josie had him wrapped around her little stupid finger and that was never going to change. But I’m a fool. I realized how much of a fool I was when I saw them doing that in the woods.”

“You’re not a fool, Alexandra,” Melody said.

“Yes, I am. A stupid fool. I’m just so angry I wasted something like that on Alan. I dunno. I feel like if I don’t get rid of my virginity soon, I’ll never be able to start my life over again.”

“So you just need me to help you?”

No… It’s more than that, all right?

“What do you mean, Alexandra?”

“Well, I had a lot of time to think while I was tied to that rock, waiting for that robe wearing loser to kill me. I just kind of realized a few things. I’ve been spending my entire life trying to impress everyone. Not just Alan, but my rich successful parents, the snobs at school, and everyone else. Problem is I’m not good at anything. I’m not like you, Melody. I’m talentless. I wish I wasn’t, but I am. I’m also not a good person. All I can do is fake it and pretend I’m actually somebody and try to make everyone else believe it. In the end, though, I kind of get the sense that everyone hates me. They just don’t say it to my face, but I know that’s how they really feel. But with you, I’ve been absolutely terrible to you…”

“No, you haven’t.”

“Yes, I was,” she corrected her, “but unlike everyone else, you never got mad back at me. I put you down, made fun of you, and all you’ve been is nice, friendly, and kind to me. I realize now you’re one of the only real friends I have. And when you did that stuff… kissed me, and held me, and everything else you did, I didn’t want to admit it at the time, but it made me happy. I didn’t even know I could like girls, but you made me feel special. And I haven’t felt special for a long time. So I want to do it with you. I’m sorry. You probably think I’m some kind of crazy nutcase now, but that’s how I feel.”

“I don’t think you’re a nutcase, Alexandra. You don’t even like nuts, and I don’t think you’re crazy either. I’m never going to think badly of you like that. You don’t have to impress me or anything. I like you, and I like you just for being Alexandra. If anyone hates you, I don’t think they know you like I do. You’re not a bad girl. You’re a good girl. You’ve never really done anything that bad. Your plans usually backfire. I just think they’re funny! But I know you have a really good heart. You’re just passionate. Maybe sometimes too passionate for your own good, but that’s what I like about you. And you’re one of the sweetest people I know.”

“It’s not true. I’m not sweet at all…”

“Yes, you are. I saw it every single time you were around Alan. Some people think I’m stupid, but you know what? Alan is stupid too. Josie has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. Still, I can tell you loved him so much more than she does. The way you acted around him. You were just so sweet. You loved him so much. It honestly made me really jealous of him. I wished it was me instead.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Like you would’ve noticed or cared, silly. You had Alan on the brain!”

“Well, I don’t anymore. That’s over. I’m through with him. I mean it.”

He he. I know. That’s why I’m feeling really lucky right now. Maybe I can be the one who makes you happy instead.”

Alexandra blushed brightly again. “You really feel that way? You’re not just making this all up?”

“Of course not. And I’ve wanted to have sex with you for a really long time. I really want this too. You’re not the only one. That’s why I made that song. ”

Alexandra’s blush intensified several times more. “Seriously? That was about me?”

Melody shook her head up and down. “You’re just so cute, Alexandra. You don’t even know it. Even when you’re mad, you’re so cute! Of course I want to do it with you. But we’re not just going to have sex. We’re going to make love too.”

“I think those are the same thing, dumb dumb.”

Melody put her finger on her chin. “Hmmm. I don’t think so. They’re different. I’ve had sex a lot of times, but I think I only made love a few times.”

“How are they different?”

“Well, having sex is a lot of fun, but making love is a lot better! I think it’s like showing someone how much you like them by making them feel good with your body.”

Alexandra’s face was about as red as it could possibly be at this point. However, despite the fact the idea of doing something like that with Melody truly excited her, she still felt apprehensive. “That sounds really good, Melody, but there’s a problem though.” She frowned again.

Melody paid her frown back with a cute smirk. “And what could that be?”

Alexandra’s frown turned into a scowl. “Promise you won’t tell anyone any of this stuff I’ve told you? I swear if you do, I’ll give you a pounding!” she said, raising a clenched fist.

He he he! Cross my heart and hope to die!”

“Well… I don’t know what to do. I know two girls can do it, but I don’t know how. I don’t know anything about sex, making love, or anything else. I don’t know how to do it with boys or girls… I haven’t even touched myself before.

Awwwww. Don’t worry. It’s really easy. I’ll show you what to do, and then we can have lots of fun!”

“Well, ok, but it’s not gonna…” she trailed off, frowning again.

“Not gonna what?”

It’s not going to hurt, is it?” she finally managed to mumble. Admitting she had such thoughts was more humiliating than she could stand.

Melody took Alexandra’s hand and gripped it tightly between her palms. “I promise I won’t hurt you, Alexandra.”

“Really?”

“I promise. I just want to make you feel good. Do you trust me?”

Alexandra’s expression softened. “Yeah. I don’t know why. I didn’t feel like this before, but I really feel like I can trust you now.”

“I’m so glad.” Melody gave her a really happy, warm smile. “I trust you too, Alexandra. Let’s share this, ok?”

Alexandra smiled from ear to ear back at her. “Ok.” Melody smiled back again. She then reached up and again slipped one strap of Alexandra’s nightgown off of her shoulder. She did the same to the other and then slowly pulled the nighty down off of her body. The fabric slid down over her curvy chest and then past her waist, thighs, legs, and feet until it was completely removed. Melody took a moment to marvel at her nude form on the bed. “You’re so cute, Alexandra.”

Alexandra simply gave a shy smile back as she blushed madly. Melody then slowly stripped off her pajamas and then slowly pulled down the panties that were underneath. Alexandra would have complimented her as well, but she was speechless. Putting the beauty of Melody’s nude body into words would have simply been too difficult.

Melody then crawled on top of Alexandra and their lips reconnected. Both women kissed each other passionately with equal enthusiasm. As their lips mashed together, Alexandra grabbed onto Melody’s back and pulled her voluptuous frame against her own naked body tight. Soon, though, Melody removed her lips and tongue from Alexandra’s mouth. She again kissed across her cheek with little, short, but intense pecks and slowly moved down her neck. After giving the nape of her neck some more attention, much to Alexandra’s liking, she started kissing further down her body until she reached her breast.

Alexandra felt intense pleasure. It was a completely new sensation to her, and it was an utterly wonderful one as well. That night Alexandra would experience many new sensations, each more wonderful than the last. Melody knew exactly what to do to make her body feel good, many times in ways Alexandra didn’t even know were possible.

Not only was she a skilled lover, but she was also extremely tender as well. She knew to take a slower pace with Alexandra, and she was certainly very happy to do so. It allowed both of them to savor this time together. Beyond the physical pleasure Melody gave her, Alexandra enjoyed the closeness and deep romantic bonding they were able to share. Often, Melody would give long glances into Alexandra’s eyes as she gave her pleasure, and Alexandra would stare back contently as she blushed and moaned.

Despite her previous apprehension, Alexandra was easily able to reciprocate. Melody only had to guide her fingers and help her reposition her body into the right spot a few times. Alexandra caught on quickly and was soon able to give the same pleasure back to her. She was surprised that she enjoyed providing Melody with pleasure almost as much as she enjoyed receiving it. It felt good to make her feel good, and she was especially glad that it was Melody she was able to do this for.

The night went on. Another thing Alexandra soon learned was that Melody’s boundless exuberance translated to the bedroom as well. Although she eventually became a bit overwhelmed as the minutes slowly slipped into hours, she was happy to try to keep up. She simply did not want the night to end. The moments they shared were simply too precious.

Eventually, however, Melody decided to give it a rest, and her and a now rather exhausted Alexandra cuddled together nude under the warm covers.

Mmmm… This feels really nice,” Alexandra said, sounding wonderfully relaxed in the comfort of Melody’s soft embrace.

“Cuddlin’ afterwards is one of my favorite parts,” she explained.

“I think it’s one of my favorite parts too,” she said, snuggling her head further in between Melody’s cushy breasts. “Can you please hold me like this forever?”

Melody giggled. “I’ll try.” She then tightened her embrace around her and tipped her head down to kiss the spot where Alexandra’s white stripe met her forehead. Alexandra murmured pleasurably as she felt the smooch. “So did you like your first time?”

“Like?” Alexandra asked. “I was always worried it wouldn’t be as special as I wanted it to be. But with you, Melody, it was everything I wanted. In fact, it was much better than I ever thought it could be.”

Awwwww.” Melody squeezed Alexandra in her arms. “I’m glad I did my job. He he.

“Are you kidding me? I didn’t know it could be that good. I had no idea. That thing you say is definitely true.”

“What’s that?”

“That you’re good at two things. One of them is keeping a beat.”

Ohhhhh. So that’s what that means. No wonder Josie was so mad at me when I said that to her parents. Oops!” Both women cracked up into uproarious laughter and giggling.

“God, I wish I was there so I could’ve seen the look on Josie’s stupid face,” she said before cracking up again.

Finally, they calmed down a bit. Alexandra was still a little curious however. “That sounds like something a guy would tell you though,” she explained. “Does that mean you uhh do it with guys too?” For some reason, Melody could detect a little bit of worry in the tone of her voice.

“Yup, I have. Not for a while though. Boys are kinda boring. They do their thing, and then they’re done. But with a girl like you, I can just play and play. It’s so much more fun! And even if it was your first time, you still did a really good job, Alexandra. Way better than any boy. Girls just seem to know what you want. Hmmm, I wonder why that is.”

“Is it because they’re also girls?”

“Wow, I never thought of that! Golly, you sure are smart, Alexandra!”

“Dumb dumb,” Alexandra said playfully as she reached up and patted Melody’s head. Melody giggled. “But I guess that means you do it with girls a lot though, huh?” she asked, again sounding a bit apprehensive.

Wellll... One time I did it with some of our groupies. Actually, that was like three or four times. Or maybe it was five or six. Or seven or eight. Or maybe it was more like 32 times. I forget. He he he! Oh, and I did it with this Japanese pop singer who opened for us when we were on tour in Japan. And I did it with Betty and Veronica when we played at their prom and they were mad at Archie for dumping them for that Cheryl girl. And then the next prom, I did it with Cheryl after she got mad at Archie for dumping her for Betty and Veronica. And I did it with my old friend Pepper a few times. And once with my cousin, Sally. And then my other cousin, Jennie. And the mail lady, and the garbage lady, and this lady cop who pulled me over, and this girl who worked at McDonald’s, and the manager at Burger King, and…”

“All right, all right, I’ve heard enough!” Alexandra shouted from her arms, freaked out. “For the love of god, please shut up!”

He he he. Sorry.”

There was a long silence before Alexandra spoke again, “Umm, well… Listen, I don’t care about any of that. It’s uh... in the past. But um, I’m kinda possessive you know.”

Melody giggled loudly. “Really?” she asked sarcastically.

“Yeah, so I’d kinda like to have you to myself if we’re going to do this kind of stuff.”

Awwww. Are you asking me to be your girlfriend, Alexandra?”

Alexandra thought about that question for a moment. Even though she had time to think about all of it recently, the past few days had been such a whirlwind of events and emotions that she had still been a bit confused about what all of it had really meant. However, at that moment, it was beginning to make more sense to her. There was a clear answer to Melody’s question, and it’s what she had really wanted all along. The corners of Alexandra’s mouth curved up into a big smile accented by her very rosy cheeks. “Yeah, I guess I am. Will you be my girlfriend, Melody?”

“I’d love to!” Melody slid down further into the bed, and they both shared another intensely intimate kiss. “Don’t worry about all the other girls, Alexandra. You’re all I need. In fact, you’re all I wanted anyways. The groupies were always really confused when I told them to call me dumb dumb,” she explained before snickering.

“I don’t know if I should be flattered or creeped out,” Alexandra said, befuddled.

Melody giggled at her reaction, and again they kissed. “But if you want to be my girlfriend, I have two conditions,” she said in an uncharacteristically serious sounding voice.

“Yeah?” Alexandra asked, a bit taken aback by her seriousness. “What are they?”

“First, I never want to hear you talking about not going on tour with us anymore again. If we go on tour, you have to come with me. I need to have you for kissin, and cuddlin, and playin. And I want you as my best friend too. That’s your job in the band now.”

“Sure. In fact, I want to do that now anyways. I want to be with you.”

“Good!” Melody squeezed her and kissed her on her nose. “And there’s one more thing. This is the most important thing. It’s very, very, very important and very, very, very serious.”

“What is it?”

“You have to be my pet skunk.”

“I refuse! Like I said before, I refuse to be compared to a lowly, smelly skunk,” Alexandra spat off, very annoyed.

Hmph! Fine then!” Melody took her arms off of Alexandra and then turned over in the bed to face away from her.

Alexandra put her hand on her shoulder. “Come on, Melody. This is just stupid.” Melody only responded by jerking her shoulder out from under Alexandra’s palm. “Ugh, can’t I be something else like a cat?”

Sebastian meowed loudly in protest from the end of the bed. Alexandra picked up her pillow and threw it at him, knocking him off the bed. “No one asked you, you pervy cat!”

“No, I want a skunk,” Melody pouted.

Alexandra sighed. “Skunks smell really bad. You know that, right?”

“No they don’t! Stop saying such mean things about skunks! They’re cute, and I love them,” Melody again pouted.

“They’re not cute.”

“Nah-uh. The skunk is the cutest animal. Oh, I wanted one so badly when I was a little girl, but mommy and daddy wouldn’t let me have one. It made me so sad.”

Alexandra groaned miserably. “All right.”

Melody turned over in bed. “What?”

“All right I said.”

“What’s all right?” Melody asked teasingly.

Alexandra rolled her eyes harshly. “All right, I’ll be your skunk,” she said before frowning.

Squeeee!” She then opened her arms. “Come here my little skunky, let me pet you!”

Reluctantly, the still frowning Alexandra scooted over in bed back into Melody’s embrace. Immediately, Melody placed her hand on top of her head and began moving her fingers back and forth over Alexandra’s white stripe like she was petting a small furry animal.

“Do you like being petted, my little skunk?”

“No,” Alexandra groaned. She was still frowning miserably, but her lower lip was quivering a bit.

Melody saw this and smirked. She then began petting her head more intensely. As she did so, she moved her other hand to her bare back and began massaging it in a soothing circular motion. “I think you’re fibbing, skunky. I think you really do like it.”

“Maybe.”

He he he. And why’s that?”

“Because I like it when you touch me, ok?”

“Guess I know how to tame you now,” Melody said before giggling again.

“There’s something I want to talk about too…”

“What is it, Alexandra?”

“Can we keep this a secret, you know us being girlfriends and all that?”

“Aww, why?” Melody asked, sounding disappointed. “I want everyone to know.”

“I just don’t want it to get out. I know Alexander already knows, but he knows if he says anything he won’t live to his next birthday.”

“Why can’t it get out?”

“Well, I don’t care what anyone else thinks. They can all go to hell as far as I care. It’s just Daddy is not exactly easy to please, and he’s kind of… conservative. I think if he learned about this, he might try to disown me and write me out of my inheritance.”

“Wow, he would really do that?”

“I really don’t know. It kinda scares me.”

“I’m so sorry, Alexandra,” she said, hugging her tight.

“Don’t be. It’s not your fault. And you know, if it gets out, it could be bad for you too.”

“How so?” Melody asked.

“You’re in a famous band. It could cause a scandal.”

“I think a lot of my fans already know I like girls,” she said before snickering.

“What about the media?”

“Is that the disease that makes it hurt when you pee?”

“No, it’s not a disease, Melody. I mean like newspapers and magazines and stuff.”

Ohhh. I don’t think so, but that would be really cool! Then I could be like the girl Freddie Mercury. You know, we’re good friends.” She then noticed that Alexandra still looked nervous. “But I’ll try to keep it a secret, Alexandra, if that’s what you really want. The main thing I want to do is make you happy.”

For some reason, Alexandra felt guilty about forcing Melody to do that, but she didn’t really understand the reason why. She felt better after she snuggled her cheek back into Melody’s very cushy chest. “Thank you. You’re like an angel. I still don’t understand why you’re being so nice to me.”

“Because I like you and care about you, silly, and you deserve it. Like I said, you’re a good girl.”

Alexandra closed her eyes and gave a very pleasant expression as she nuzzled her cheek deeper into Melody’s bosom. “Will you really be all mine?”

“I’m all yours, Alexandra.”

All mine…” A few seconds later, Melody heard Alexandra’s somewhat nasally snoring and snickered at it a bit.

As she continued to cradle the snoring woman in her arms, Melody leaned down and kissed her on the top of her head. “Sweet dreams, my sweet little skunk.”
