Melody Wetherby sat on the sofa with thoughts of the previous evening running through her mind. She could hear Beth talking in the background but the words did not register. She was thinking of Robert, and how cruel he had been. Three years of her life, she had been completely devoted to him, and yesterday, out of nowhere, he told her that he had met someone else and that they were moving away.
‘Melody? Mel?’ Beth said loudly, tapping her on the shoulder. ‘Hello!’
This shook Mel out of her reverie. ‘Sorry Beth, what were you saying?’
‘I was saying how quick the weekends go, and what a pig Matt is! Were you not listening to anything I said?’ She continued as she poured her third glass of wine. ‘I wish we didn’t have to go back to work tomorrow, I wish Carl was rich so that I didn’t have to work.’
Mel reached forward for her glass and took a sip.
‘So, what do you think I should do? Mel? Jeez, you’re a real space cadet tonight!’
‘What?’
‘We’re talking about my job, where’s your head at?
‘Beth, don’t you think I have more important things to think about right now!’
‘Oh shit, Mel, I’m sorry I didn’t think. Are you ok?’
Tears formed in Mel’s green eyes making them shine in the lamp light. ‘I’m alright! I’m going to have a bath then I’m off to bed. See you in the morning.’ Mel walked slowly up the stairs and into the bathroom.
She sat on the edge of the bath as the hot steamy water flowed into the tub; her favourite bubble bath mixed with the water sending up a scent of oriental lotus flower and orange blossom in the steam.
When the bath was full, she turned the taps off and tied up her hair, the water was a bit too hot but she got in anyway. The bubbles gathered around her as if they meant to give her a hug. She lay back in the bath and let the water caress her body. She had her IPod and put the earphones in. She soon got used to the heat of the water and began to relax, closed her eyes and just lay there listening to the music. The song finished and the next one began ‘All by myself’ – by Eric Carmen – the original from 1975. Then the tears came, again. She swore to herself that this would be the last time that she would cry over Robert.
She sat up suddenly to the sound of loud banging and a man’s voice shouting her name. It took her a few seconds to realise that she was still in the bath and that the water was cold. She must have fallen asleep. Next thing Carl appeared in the doorway after having literally kicked it off its hinges. She nearly screamed and reached out to grasp the towel.
‘What the hell are you doing? ’ She yelled at him as Beth appeared through the door.
‘Mel, you’ve been in here for nearly three hours I got worried when you wouldn’t answer, I couldn’t open the door, so I asked Carl to come over. I thought you had done something to yourself! ’ She ran over to the bath to give me a hug.
They both looked at each other and decided Mel was okay, and they left her to get out of the bath and make herself decent. Mel went to her bedroom and put on her pyjamas. Mel could hear them talking quietly downstairs.
‘She wouldn’t do that to herself, she is a strong woman, it will take her a while to get over it but she will be okay! ’
‘I hope so Carl; I will murder Rob if she comes to any harm. ’
‘You would have to get behind me, I’m first in line! ’
Mel slowly made her way downstairs to listen to their conversation. The bottom step creaked and they stop talking.
‘Hey guys! ’ She said as she entered the kitchen. Mel turned to face Beth. ‘I’m sorry I scared you. I was exhausted and must have fallen asleep. ’
Beth and Carl both walked towards me, Beth flung her arms around me and then Carl put his arms around the both of us.
‘I am okay, you know. It’s only been a day, I’ll survive.
Mel wasn’t tired any more, she went to the fridge and grabbed three Cokes. They all sat at the kitchen table.
They sat in silence for a while until Beth cleared her throat, ‘Anyway, I thought we could all go and see that new movie on Wednesday. The one with the aliens, oh what’s it called. Never mind, what do you think? ’
Mel looked at Carl and they both burst into laughter. Beth was always good at changing the subject, yet, she didn’t know it.
Carl rolled his eyes ‘Sure,’ then they both looked at Mel.
‘Okay, I’ve heard it’s a good film. ’
‘Good, that’s settled. ’ They finished their drinks and went to bed.
