The rest of the day, I just walked around the offices, checking on everyone and also helping Emily with the schedules. Yup, work was all I was thinking about, nothing else...

Okay!

I've been thinking about Ross. I mean I did just ditch him in the middle of our conversation and I ditched him with Red. Like, who does that?

But at the same time, who knows if anything will ever happen between me and Ross? He did chicken out in New York. I don't know, maybe Red is someone I think about.

My thoughts were interrupted by an annoying half sister, yelling at me and waving her hand in front of my face.

"Helloooooooo!"

"Oh my god, what Melody?" I yelled.

"It's time to go. Work day is done." she said and dangled her keys at me.

"Yes! Alright, let's hit it." I said.

We walked to the editors' stations and said goodbye.

Adam ran into us and said goodbye as well.

We were about to leave when Red came up behind me.

"You're not gonna say goodbye to the best one in these offices?" he said flashing a smile.

"I don't know, I didn't think I was good enough to stand in your presence." I said.

We laughed and hugged.

"Bye Red. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye, oh! And are we set for dinner tomorrow?"
"Definitely."
"Okay, see ya."

I smiled at him as he walked away.

I walked to Melody's car, not saying anything to her. When we got in the car, I leaned against the headrest, lost in a daze.

"What the hell was that!"

I looked at Melody who was staring at me.

"What was-"

"Don't you what was what me. What was that little thing between you and Red? You know the jokes and the embracing hugs?" she said as she pulled out of the parking lot.

"Please, it was just a friendly gesture." I said.

"Oh, then how about the dinner planned. Huh?" she said, keeping her eyes on the road.

"Again, another friendly gesture. We're just friends! Nothing mo-"

Red and I just friends? Friends don't give each other silver chains or ask each other out for dinner or kiss each other on the cheek. Were me and Red just friends?

If we are then what are me and Ross?

Were we friends too? Or more?

"Um, Melody. I have a problem. Red gave me this chain as a present and we're really close. And he did ask me out and I also may have kissed him on the cheek a couple times-"

"SHUT UP." she yelled.

I covered my ears. "Okay, no need to scream and break my eardrums."

"Go on."

"Yeah, there's Red, but Ross? I liked him for such a long time and I still do, but he's not saying anything or doing anything. I like Ross and I like Red, but as a friend."

"Do you?" she asked.

"I... I don't know. I don't what I feel anymore." I said and leaned against the window.

"Okay, it's only been a day. You need to chill. Listen, here's my advice, listen to both of them, hang with both of them, see how they act around you. The more time you're around them, the more info you get based on their actions." she said with smile.

I nodded. "Alright, I can do that. Yeah, okay. Thanks, Melody. You are truly the best sister to have ever lived."

"Well, I try." she said and we laughed the rest of the way home.
