Chapter 6

It was 1/2 hour later Melinda was really feeling bad, she was so hot, it was like they stopped all the air coming through the shafts. She got up yelling, " hurray we both are going to pass out.". She turned Phillip was so hot his face was red, and he was all sweaty. She walked over, sitting beside him, "Phillip are you ok"?

" I'm really burning up, they better get us out of here soon"

Melinda grabbed the water bottle, " drink this little bit, you haven't had anything in hours". He took it , she undid his shirt, and he smiled, " I don't know If I can fool around Melinda".

" I know that your burning up, take your shirt off"

" What about you"?

" Well I can't they might open the door any moment".

" Yeah, they will think we fooled around , if they see me half naked".

" I don't care at the moment, there that is better".

"You just wanted to see my bare chest didn't you"?

" Yeah Phillip you figured me out, stop talking we don't have any more water". Phillip laid on the floor, she knew he was really hurting. She jumped up, "hurry up we need water, Phillip is passing out, it is like a steam bath in here. I'm suing this building for taking so long, open this door now".

" Melinda stop, come and sit with me".

" Phillip your hurting they have to get us out of here". Melinda started to cry. She walked over sitting beside Phillip, he was sweating buckets, she grabbed her purse, and found wet naps in her purse. She wiped his forehead, and he smiled. 'You really do care Melinda".

"Yes, I care a lot, just don't pass out on me".

"You never answered my question before"?

" What question"?

" If you were gong to spend the night at my place, once we get out of here".

" Yes, but if you pass out you will be spending the night at the hospital.".

They hear someone yell maybe 10 more minutes hold on.

Melinda yells," it only has been 8 hours"

" We are sorry,we really are doing everything in our power to release you ".

Phillip laughed, " He is making it sound like we are in prison".

Melinda laughed, " What a unisex prison, we had fun in here Phillip".

" They heard laughter, and Melinda laughed," those idiots are enjoying our little venture in here."

" They are getting all hot and bothered picturing what happened in here".

" 3 hours ago they would have heard a ear full".

Phillip and Melinda laugh but both really needed out of the elevator , they were really dehydrated".

They heard the door slightly opening, and she jumped up. She saw a man's face , and he smiled. "Don't blame me Mame, I have been working hard to get you out of this elevator. "

"please help me get him out of here, he needs water really bad."

They run over to Phillip, who had shut his eyes. They helped him up, walking him out of the elevator. They sat him on the floor, handing him a water bottle. He yelled, "Where is Melinda"?

"I'm right here Phillip," She sat beside him, and they handed her a bottle of water too. She touched Phillips face, " drink some of the water Phillip".

" Melinda I thought you took off".

" I said I wouldn't don't you believe me"?

"Yes, but when I didn't see you , I was scared".

Melinda smiled, but noticed the 2 men staring at them. She smiled, " yes we fell in love in that elevator, miracles do happen".

"Wow, you just met in there"?

" Yes, and we really hit it off".

" Oh man that is amazing, it is like one of those crappy movies my wife makes me watch".

Phillip smiled, " I didn't believe in this stuff either, but I truly did fall for this beauty, while stuck in the elevator".

Phillip got up, "Melinda lets go home, I need sleep and something to eat".

" I'm not going on a elevator, we have to walk down the stairs".

" Of course, lets go, I'm so sick of this building". They both left and the 2 men smiled, " Wow that is amazing, wait until I tell my wife".

"Do you think they actually made love in there"?

" I think so" , they both smile, and continue fixing the elevator.

Chapter 7

Melinda and Phillip walked down the stairs 8 flights, and finally got to the parking garage. They walked over to their cars, but Phillip wanted Melinda to drive in his car. They decided to drive in phillip's car, and they went to Phillip house. She couldn't believe the size of his home, and she smiled, "you live here alone"?

"Yes, why, you think it is to big"?

"Yes, for one person, but it is beautiful Phillip".

" Come inside, let me show you around", he walked inside, and took her to the kitchen. He grabbed some bottle waters, and they sat at the kitchen table. She smiled, " Oh this is heavenly, from now on, bottle waters go in my bag, at all times".

" I know , you never think something like that can happen. We take life for granted, anything can go wrong at any moment".

They drink the water, and have some fruit. Phillip pulled her to her feet, "lets go get a shower, I'm dying for one".

"With me or alone"?

'What do you think Melinda"?

She ran upstairs, with Phillip, and they ran into the bathroom. He smiled, as he grabbed two of his robes. He walked over, kissing Melinda, and handed her a robe. They both undressed, and were staring at each other, and smiling. He walked over pulling her close, " can you believe what kind of day we had"?

" No Phillip, this morning , I wanted to kill you , now I can't get enough of you".

Phillip turned the tap on, and they stepped into the tub. They both loved the water rolling over them. They both were so hot, and tired from their time in the elevator. They washed each others back, and shoulders. Melinda leaned into Phillip, and she touched his lips. "Phillip thanks for being there for me Phillip. I would have gone crazy, if you didn't distract me today".

" Oh you helped me to Melinda".

He brought his lips to hers, as he moved her against the wall. She touched his chest, as he roamed his hands up her back. She moved real close to Phillip, as he lifted her into his arms. She was kissing him, as he entered her, and Melinda cried out his name. He was making her go crazy, he knew exactly what she liked, and she wrapped her arms and legs around him. They both moved, in a steady rhythm, until they both came to a shattering release. They both held each other letting the water flow over them. They finally get out , and dry off, putting on their robes. He walked Melinda into his bedroom, and he pulled his sheets down. Melinda and Phillip got in, and they both laid face to face, touching and caressing each other. Phillip leaned over Melinda, and whispered, " I can't imagine life without you".

"Phillip do you really mean that"?

"Yes, I would love for you to move in here with me".

"We just met Phillip, you don't really want me to move in".

" Yes, why have two homes, when I plan to be in your arms, every night anyway".

Melinda smiled, " Ok you said it so nice, I would love to move in".

" I want you to meet my Family Melinda, I just know they will love you".

"You said you have a daughter Phillip".?

"Yes, Lizzie, she will love you ".

" I hope so, because I sure do care for her Father".

Phillip smiled, and they both hugged, each other, and fell asleep in each other's arms.

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie. I LOVE this story soo much.

[melindajo2000]

[jessie]

Thanks for the comments, yes Alan is still alive, I love Alan Spaulding. I met the Ron Raines in real life, he was such a sweet man. He was so kind to my Mom,, I thought that was so wonderful. He posed for pictures and everything, it made my Mom's day. I also met Grant, (Phillip), he is so handsome , even more in person.

Chapter 8

Melinda woke up she was alone in bed. She got up putting her robe on, walking downstairs. She heard Phillip in the kitchen, she dropped her robe walking into the kitchen yelling," surprise".

Phillip turned but Melinda was horrified, another man was staring with a huge smile on her face. She ran out of the kitchen grabbing her robe running upstairs.

Phillip was in shock, Alan put his hands on his shoulder. "OMG son she is a keeper, don't let her out of your sight".

"Dad I'm sorry, she thought I was alone".

"Phillip , I have been married many times, dated a lot of woman. I can honestly say no one ever did that to me. If they did, I would still be married to them.".

" Please stop, I'm going up to get her, stay here".

"I'm not leaving, I would love to talk to that sweet thing".

"Stop Dad she is sweet, she must be devastated right now".

"Tell her to lighten up, we are family".

"Dad that isn't funny, don't be a jerk, that is hard I know".

"Go Phillip, she might run away,". Phillip ran upstairs, finding Melinda on the bed, she was laying real quiet. Phillip walked over, " Melinda are you ok"?

" OMG, I'm so sorry, who was that downstairs"?

"Well my Dad", Phillip laughed

"No, he must think I'm a tramp or something".

"No, you could have gave him another heart attack, he thinks you are a keeper".

" I can't face him ever again".

"Stop get dressed, come down and have breakfast with me".

"No"

"Yes, get that pretty butt off the bed, he is fine".

"What will I wear".?

"Anything is better than what you wore when you first met him".

Melinda grabbed a pillow, " that isn't funny Phillip"

"It is so, come on it happened, who cares"?

"Me, I care".

Phillip sat down, " I promise you he will be fine, he didn't see that much".

"He saw everything Phillip"

"Yeah I know, that was something Melinda, will you do that tomorrow"?

"Never again, that is your last thrill".

"Ok, I'm going down and kill the man he ruined my last thrill".

Stop it", Melinda laughed, she got off the bed. She was pulling on her jeans, and a blouse. She smiled, "Is this ok"?

"You look wonderful lets go". They walked downstairs, and into the kitchen. Alan stood up, " Hi Melinda nice to meet you again".

"I'm so sorry about before, I was just fooling around".

" I'm sorry I spoiled your surprise, you really are good for my son".

"Thank you , please sit down", They sat while Phillip was getting breakfast ready. Alan held her hand, " lets forget what happened, ok".

"Can you"?

" Well, I might not forget the imagine, but we won't talk about it anymore".

"Deal, I'm normally not like that Sir".

"I'm Alan don't call me Sir Melinda".

" Ok Alan, it really is nice to meet you".

"Oh it was fun, I haven't had this much fun in months"

"Alan please", Melinda couldn't stop laughing

Phillip brought the food over, "Dad I want to tell you Melinda is moving in with me".

"Really, so soon"?

" I told him that too "

Alan smiled, " I think it is wonderful Melinda, Phillip is so lonely, you are good for him. Today was the first day he hugged me when I came to the door. He normally yells, "what do you want, I'm busy Dad".

" I do not stop talking like that", Phillip was laughing knowing he did but wouldn't admit it.

Melinda smiled, " You both are so alike".

"Yeah, we are, he is my Dad", Phillip smiled at Alan.

The three of them ate breakfast, and Phillip was so grateful to Alan, he really was amazing today.

[melindajo2000]

Chapter 9

After breakfast Alan left, and kissed Melinda on the cheek. "I like you Melinda, hope to see you again. I would love to have you and Phillip, over for dinner this week".

"I would love that, thank you, so much. I'm also very sorry, about what happened before. I'm not normally like that really, it was really embarressing".

"I already forgot, not really, but don't worry Melinda". He walked to the door, and Phillip, waved goodbye . Phillip shut the door, and grabbed Melinda, "Oh I wish my father didn't come here this morning. When you walked in like that my heart was racing, and if my Daddy wasn't here we would have had fun".

"I loved meeting you Father, he is really nice, but that was bad". Phillip touched her face, " want to play hookie today"?

"Really should we Phillip"

"Yeah, lets do it, and we can play".

"Phillip there is this small carnival here, on main street, can we go"?

'A carnival with rides, and games and stuff like that"?

"Yeah, I was going to go myself, I love those things".

"Your on, lets get ready, but after we are coming back here for a swim, and some fun".

"Ok, lets go", they got ready, and left the house. They drove to the carnival, and she was so excited. Phillip got out, opening the door for Melinda. She got out, and he kissed her. "You are like a kid Melinda, lets go". He grabbed her hand , and pulled her to the rides. He went and got some tickets, and walked over, "what one do you want to go on first"? She pointed to the ferris wheel, and he ran over with her. They got on, he was scared, he never really liked ferris wheels. She loved it, and she snuggled real close as it started up. Everytime it went up, he shut his eyes, making Melinda laugh. She whispered, " I hope they stop at the top, it is so fun".

"No, I hope not". Melinda couldn't stop laughing.

The ride stopped, and Melinda couldn't believe they did end up on the top. She didn't rock the ride, Phillip was scared, and she thought that was adorable. She held his hand, and he looked into her eyes, and he felt safe. They got to the bottom, and the man opened the bar, and laughed, "Hey it is time to get off". Phillip smiled, and they both got off. She grabbed his hand, the tilt a whirl, is my favourite Phillip. They got on, and it started up, it was twirling round and round, Phillip was laughing. They both leaned into each other, they were having so much fun. She brought her lips to his, but they were banging into each other, laughing so hard. They ride stopped, they both were dizzy, they went and sat down for a minute. Phillip smiled, " this was a great idea coming here Melinda".

"It is fun isn't it".

She saw the food stand, and whispered, "lets get some cotton candy". He got up walking over, buying 2 cotton candies, and they were eating. He walked over wanting to win Melinda a prize. She wanted the little bunny, and he put his money down, throwing the basket balls. He kept trying, but Melinda smiled, "stop your spending to much money Phillip". He looked, I have to get you that bunny. He put another $10 dollars down, and was throwing the ball. He yelled when one went in, and the man handed Melinda the bunny. She almost cried, she hugged Phillip, and he laughed, as they walked away. They went on a few more rides, and they both had a hot dog. They were just about to leave, and he laughed, "OMG carmel apples".

"Yum I love those when I was young".

Phillip ran over buying 2, they were eating it. Phillip grabbed her hand taking a bite out of hers. "Phillip you have your own Mister".

He smiled, and let her take a bite of his. They were walking to the car, and he kissed her, lets go home Melinda, this day hasn't ended yet" She smiled, "I hope not, I'm dying for that swim". They laughed, and walked to the car.

Chapter 10

Melinda and Phillip were driving home, she was picking at her cotton candy, making Phillip get a little distracted. He whispered, "If you are trying to drive me crazy making those moaning sounds, you are succeeding."

Melinda laughed, "Oh do you want a bite of my cotton candy"?

"Yes". She took a piece off, and brought it to his lips, and he took a bite. "Oh that is sweet, but I'm not talking about the cotton candy, I'm talking about your perfume"

"It is a strawberry scent, do you like"?

"Yeah I like it a lot"

Melinda sat back, "Phillip what do you like about me be honest"?

"What oh I love your lips, your skin against mine, you voice , I love everything about you Melinda"

" That day in the elevator, you didn't like me at first did you"?

"I did but I was in such a mood, but after I got out of the elevator that mood changed big time" . Melinda laughed, "We were bad, but we seem really good together don't you think"?

"Oh I know we are good together". They drove up to Phillips house, they got out, and walked up to the door. They were kissing, when they heard someone come up the stairs.

"Phillip what are you doing"?

"Oh God Beth you scared me, what are you doing here"?

"I came by I thought we could talk"

"Well it isn't a good time, I'm going for a swim with Melinda. We had a wonderful day today, we just want to relax".

Melinda smiled Phillip introduced Beth to Melinda. They shook hands, but Melinda could feel the tension coming off of Beth.

Phillip smiled, "I will call you Beth, sorry tonight is not a great night for a visit"

"Have a lovely evening, I will call you Phillip"

Beth walked down the stairs, and over to her car. It was parked there when they drove up, but they didn't even notice because they were to into themselves".

"Phillip that is your Ex Wife"?

"Yes one of them, she is my Daughters Mother. I don't want you worrying about her, it is over between us"

"Really she didn't like me being with you"

"That is to bad it is over between us Melinda. Lets go in for that swim, can we not talk about Beth". Phillip walked in but Melinda watched Beth's car drive off. She turned when Phillip called her to come in. Melinda walked in locking the door, and they ran upstairs to get their swimsuits on. Melinda changed, and walked downstairs, seeing Phillip outside drinking a beer.

"Melinda you are ready, I brought you a glass of wine out".

"Phillip please answer one question honestly, is it really over between you and Beth"?

Phillip walked over grabbing Melinda, "It is over, all I think about is you. She is my past you are my future, I wouldn't lead you on"

Melinda smiled she kissed Phillip, he lifted her up, and jumped into the pool. They both were laughing, splashing each other. They both moved to the side of the pool kissing each other.

"Oh Melinda I don't know if I can wait much longer, we may have to take this upstairs"

"What are you waiting for Phillip lets go"?

Phillip jumped out of the pool grabbing two towels. They wrapped them around each other, and ran upstairs.

To be continued.
