The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Sherman is my senior in school. Can't an old schoolmate offer me a ride home? It's late, and Edmund has got off work. I'm not his boss, so I can't ask him to specially come and give me a ride." Melody found that Lucas' attitude was unreasonable, so she did not explain to him nicely.

Lucas scoffed and said, "Old schoolmate? Are you sure that he's only an old schoolmate? May I remind you, Melody, you're no longer single during the contract period, so you should be mindful of your actions and keep a distance from other men!"

Melody frowned. "Well, I didn't do anything inappropriate, and it's not like I cheated on you! On the other hand, Lucas, weren't you the one who left me behind to send another woman home? If anyone's being inappropriate here, it's you!"

Lucas could not argue with that.

A silence fell over them. Feeling awkward, Melody tried to smooth things out.

"Lucas, I don't want to argue with you. I just hope you could put yourself in my shoes, and be mindful of your actions since you're no longer single either. You ask me to cooperate, but you yourself are doing the opposite. Sometimes I don't even know how to explain to Grandpa and Grandma! Besides, if you can leave me behind to send Miss Stella home, why can't I ride in Sherman's car? Don't you think you're being unfair?" protested Melody aggrievedly.

Lucas was the one who sent someone to bring her to him, but he left her alone for Stella instead.
