Now he knew he really wasn't the one to talk about this. He was far from a romantic at times, and the one was a concept that sometimes bothered him.
"Melody....I think it's more...just being ready and comfortable enough with someone to know you want to have sex. When I did it, I was just honry and over eager. The One....is a bit of a lot of pressure to live up to and you might be disappointed that it's not like the movies."
He let her hide her face but he worried she might trip if she wasn't careful, so he stopped when he found a fallen tree and went to sit them both down.
"Look. I was dating a girl I really cares about in high school. We kinda already talked about getting there so it was kinda unspoken when we had homecoming to go to a hotel. We were both ready and had kissed and fooled around before. It's just more....well like not feeling there is anything left holding you back if that makes sense. A big green light to Go that you feel and they feel. It's something where you get to a point and know you want to go further. "
He let her hide herself if it made it easier but after a time he removed his arm. "Melody, put your hands in your lap please."

She placed her hands in her lap, the layers of lace and fabric pushed up under the weight and billowed down to blend with the bark of the fallen tree. She looked ahead, too embarrassed to really look at Melvin.
"But what if I do find them but then they're upset I'm not?... I... I have trouble as it is..."

At least she was lookin ahead which he felt was a great improvement.
"If you find someone you feel ready enough to go ahead with and they get pissed off at you for not being an expert or even just not sure of yourself, they aren't the one, they don't deserve it, and their a huge a*****e. The right person would understand, talk with you, and work with you. Having sex like that isn't about just one person feeling good and getting just what THEY want. It's both sides feeling safe and that they can trust each other to listen for what feels right for both of you. When you get to that point, don't let things happen if they upset you. Say something."
"Is...there someone you are thinking of being with? Is that why you're asking?"

Melody slowly bobbed her head with understanding as he spoke, even if it wasn't quite what she was asking it still addressed a question she had not even considered yet.
When he inquired to her interests, the strong desire to hide her face arose again. She turned her head instead to give Melvin a wide-eyed stare. "U-uhm... Not... Not exactly. I just..."
She drew a deep calming breath then looked down at her lap. "I ha-have urges... I just have trouble ig-ignoring them."

He was glad she didn't use her hands again as he didn't want her hiding physically from her own feelings and thoughts about the subject.
"You shouldn't ignore them. You need to listen to them and figure out what they mean. Find out what turns you on and what you like." It seemed Mik and Melody were in similar pickles and he worried about having an entire house now down to have sex.
"You need to get more comfortable with this subject and yourself. It's not going to go away and you seem like you want to make that connection with someone. You need to start dating or if you prefer to mess around with people if that interest you. Just sleep around in a safe manner. That and well, like I said about exploring yourself as well. Test the waters and wade through the pool at your own pace but don't turn your back to it."

Her brows knit together with concern, "But won't I get like.... A reputation?"

He placed a arm across her shoulders and gave her a little tug. "Who the hell cares? You spit in the wrong direction and someone races to Twitter. Our lives are unpredictable and short and you know what might happen so being concerned about the opinions of people who don't have anything better to do than talk and who aren't even your friends isn't worth it."
"But if you don't want a bad name like that, mess with people who feel would not brag about it to the entire island or ask them to be discreet. And if you want a free pass then go on leave and mess with a civilian. Bars and clubs are easy pickup spots and as a cute girl most guys will hit on you. They won't know your real life and name anyways so there is no way there can be a reputation built."
He patted her shoulder. "Is...any of this helping?"

"A little," she admitted. She turned to wrap her arms around Melvin's neck and embraced him for a moment. She loosened her grip and planted her lips against his cheek. "You sure know how to make people feel better. No wonder you are in Life," she smiled at him and then let him go.
"What do you think of Mikael?"

He reached around her and gently hugged her back, surprised about the platonic kiss to the cheek. He hit the brakes on his every-wild libido right there.
Releasing her, he gave a shrug. "I try my best. Someone hasn't got to care. I won't say I'm the best place to talk about things since I'm not a woman but I can answer what I do know."
Feeling better that he could at least turn her about in the right direction, he froze at the mention of Mikael. His mind rushed fresh with recent memories and he took the water bottle in his pocket to take a deep drink to clear his throat and buy himself some time.
"He is a ....big boy...who seems able to take care of himself." Emphasis on big.
"I think he is just ready to find who he is in the world and not be defined by his terrible father. He seems to want a family just as much as anyone else. A lot seems to be on his mind right now. I appologize that he was curt with you before. Talking about sex with a woman around tends to be embarrassing. I would have been mortified if my sister was around for mine."

"I... I think I was way more embarrassed than he was," she frowned to herself. "He seemed pretty open about it... ... I'm just. I'm not really."
She stretched her legs out until she could see her shoes past her hem and smiled uncertainly at them. "I don't know what I said or did."

"Don't worry to much about it. Talk to him later if he is up for that but it might be good to give him some space if he isn't quick to snap at you. I know that's hard in the house but don't feel you need to bend over backwards just for one person. Ok? If he acts up too much I'll talk to him privately."
He rose up and offered his elbow. "Care to walk again?"

Melody hooked her arm with Melvin's. "Don't mind if we do," she sounded happier now. A little more at ease.
"This talk... Never happened, okay?"

"Alright, but then you need to promise to not say anything about me giving Mikael a talk either." He turned the hand over of the offered arm for her to shake.

Melody placed her hand in the offered hand. "Deal." She shook it once and the promise sealed.
Nothing happened, the evening and following morning uneventful.
