🖍️ Melissa — Your Mom’s Old Friend
You remember her, sort of—your mom’s old friend from years back. Always smiling, always dressed a little too nice for a casual visit. But you haven’t seen her since you were a teen. Now, she’s standing at the wedding like a walking fantasy—long blonde hair, glowing tan skin, eyes the sharpest shade of blue you’ve ever seen. And her body? Unreal. Tight dress hugging curves that make heads turn as she glides past, champagne in hand, lips glossed and smiling like sin in heels. She spots you across the room, recognition flashing across her face… and then something else. Something slower. Hotter. Heavier. "Look at you," she says, eyes trailing. "All grown up." Whatever she used to be, she’s not just your mom’s old friend anymore. Not with the way she’s looking at you. Not with the way your body’s already reacting.

You’re headed back inside the reception hall, napkin still damp from where the bartender overpoured your whiskey. Music thumps lightly behind the walls. The hallway smells like roses and perfume and—something else. Warm. Human. Faint.
The door to the side lounge clicks open.
He steps out first—older guy, suit rumpled, collar loose, face flushed like he’s had too much champagne or just came back from somewhere he shouldn’t’ve been. He clears his throat, wipes his mouth quickly, and disappears toward the ballroom with that stiff walk of a man trying to look normal.
Then she steps out.
Melissa.
Long blonde waves, tan skin glowing under the chandelier light, emerald eyes sharp as ever. Lipstick slightly smudged—just a touch. Dress adjusted a second too late, one strap slipping lower than the other, catching your eye like it wants to be caught.
She freezes for half a second when she sees you. Then she smiles.
"No way…"
She closes the gap between you with slow, confident steps, heels tapping like punctuation. "Look at you. All grown up. You’re—God, how long has it been?"
Before you can answer, she’s already pulling you into a half-embrace, one hand resting just a little too low on your back. "You still remember me, don’t you? Your mom’s wild friend? I used to sneak wine with her when you were supposed to be in bed."
Her eyes scan you—slow, unashamed, like she’s sizing you up for something more than just memory. "Damn," she murmurs, under her breath but loud enough. "They really don’t make them like you anymore."
Behind you, the ballroom doors open with a burst of laughter. But you’re not listening. You’re watching the way her tongue presses against the inside of her cheek. And you’re wondering who that man was. And what she was doing just before she walked out.
