    Summary

    Mel huffs in frustration. She can’t think of how to break him out of this spiral of self-loathing and catastrophizing. Doesn’t know what to say or do to end this cycle of misplaced blame.  But, if there’s anything she’s learned in her time as Frank Langdon’s best friend, it’s that sometimes it’s best to just ask. So that’s what she does. 

    “What can I do, hmm? How can I make this better for you,” she whispers desperately, letting out a gentle hum as she moves to stroke his hair once again. 

    Frank lets out a sarcastic, wet chuckle, his face pressed against her shins. She can feel the warmth of his breath seeping into her scrubs. 

    “You can show me your tits,” he says casually, his voice tired. 

    Mel freezes, her hand stopping mid-stroke as she registers what he just said. Instantly, her face flushes red. 

    “Um—did you ju—um, what?” she stammers out. I must be daydreaming again, she thinks to herself. There’s no fucking way he just said that…

    Summary

    “Langdon.” She said, as he drove. It’d be easier if he couldn’t look at her.
    “Mel.” He replied, shooting her a quick sideways glance.
    “Earlier today,” She began, “in the break room,” her hands fidgeted nervously in her lap, “you said something about, uh, well-“
    “Needing to get laid ?” He finished for her,
    “Yes. I was thinking about it,” Her stomach was quickly filling up with rocks and her throat burned just slightly,
    “About me getting laid ?” He joked, smirking at her, eyes still on the road. The beat of silence that followed made him look at her fully, for just a moment, before turning his eyes back to the car in front of him. “What were you thinking about ?” He asked, tone more serious.
    “I’m… going to tell you something you can’t tell anyone else, okay ?” Her eyes were burning a hole into her shoes, and she noticed the small speck of red that adorned the right one’s toe. The smallest drop of blood staining their surface.

    Mels a virgin, and Langdon wants to get back into the game after his divorce. Why not kill two birds with one stone. Then they keep killing the birds.

    Summary

    "I have had a very bad day," Mel began steadily. Frank nodded slowly, his eyebrows lowering even more at the intensity in her gaze. "My head hurts. God, my whole body hurts. I need… I need a distraction right now. Something to turn my brain off for a little while."

    "O-okay? Like… what?" She almost turned to look away, but Frank lowered his head to keep her eyes trained on him. "Do you wanna watch a movie or something?"

    Mel almost laughed. He was so sweet. So unassuming of her.

    "Frank, I need to get fucked."

    A few weeks after an innocent evening turned intimate, Mel has kept Frank at arms length. Her fears of ruining their friendship, of making work awkward and struggling to find time to date, has made her wary of moving forward with him romantically. But after a disastrous shift at work, Mel needs help clearing her mind… even if it might continue to complicate their already strained relationship.

    Summary

    "Mel," he repeated, sturdier this time. "You're…. you're killing me here."

    "How so?" she asked automatically, voice husky and sincere. Frank laughed under his breath.

    "Mel," was all he could say again, his voice dropping another octave. The skin behind her ears prickled at the pleading tone in his words. "Please."

    She swallowed roughly, her fingers stilling against his hot skin. Another step too far. Another tread past plausible deniability. But she deserved nice things. They both did.

    In which Langdon's offer to fix Mel's leaky sink turns into a revelation of tattoos and one relationship redefining moment

    Every movement she does makes her feel ridiculous and ashamed, but that doesn't stop her.
