Entry 37. June 15, 2009.
[x] Wait for her parents to get back.
"Well, I would really like to talk to Clinton again... I haven't gotten a chance since we've been back, and I doubt I'll be able to talk with Patrick soon. I'd like more answers. Don't want to trouble Melanie by turning the news on..."
"Hey, Mel?" Felix asks as the two sit on the couch. "Hmmm..." she responds, her focus mainly on picking off cat hair from his shirt. Felix's head has been too up in the clouds today to get a change of clothes. He had thrown this shirt on after getting home from the beach yesterday. Fuzzbuns thought it made a nice bed. "Your parents are probably gonna be home for lunch in a bit, right?" he asks. "I s'pose... Hey why didn't you shower today? Or find some cleaner clothes?" she retorts. "Eh...what? Haha. Oh, I guess I haven't really cleaned up lately..." he realizes. "What a typical male... I think we're gonna have to break up!" she teases. "Whoa, whoa! Can I go take a shower here quick?" he offers. "Of course weirdo. Hop to it. I'll find you something better to wear," she says as she gets up and heads towards her parents' room.
In the shower, Felix thinks about everything he still wants to find out. "I wonder what Patrick was going to say about my mother... If only the news hadn't interrupted us. Who is 'Ro'? And why would my father tell me I can't trust him... How the hell can I trust HIM?" Felix's mind races. A knock on the door snaps him back to reality. "Heeeey~ Let me in! I got you a better shirt!" Melanie yells through the door. Felix finishes up quick and throws his clothes back on before opening the door. Melanie sees him and instantly looks disappointed. "Why aren't you naked..." she asks in her pouty voice. "All good things in time, dearest," he jokes as he grabs the shirt and shuts the door. He dries up better and comes out wearing the new shirt.
"Melanie? Where'd you go?" Felix calls out. Melanie appears again along with her mother and father. "Oh, sorry. I let my parents in," she answers. "Hello, Felix," Clinton says, a hint of pity in his voice. "Hey Mr. and Mrs. Swinson," he responds politely. "I told you to stop calling us that dear..." Sonia responds. Melanie laughs. "Felix is still a little boy at heart! Unable to change his young habits!" she mocks. "That looks like one of my shirts," Clinton says suddenly. "'Cause it is Daddy. I lent it to Felix because he was covered in cat hair and all stinky," Melanie answers in feigned disgust. "Ahh. Yes, that's fine then," he says.
While Sonia prepares lunch for everyone in the kitchen, Felix takes this opportunity to ask Clinton some questions. "Clinton, if you don't mind me asking, what's been going on at the station?" Felix asks. Melanie looks noticeably upset by this. "Siiiiigh... I'm gonna go help Mom in the kitchen," she says as she gets up and leaves. "Felix, I realize it is our fault you have become involved in this, but I think it would be wise if you tried your best to detach yourself from it now. Chad is no longer a threat," Clinton responds. "I realize that, but how can I not be curious? There's so much I need to know," Felix persists. "I've never been as involved in this whole...conspiracy...as much as Tom and Patrick are. I work in the assembly branch of NewFuture. They came to me for help, as friends. I don't ask questions," he tells Felix. "You say 'conspiracy'--why? What was my dad working on... How is my mother involved in any of this?" he continues to question. "I'm afraid I never knew your mother very well before she left, Felix. I only know that whatever your father and Anthony were working on must have been very important to our boss. No matter how little 'results' ever came from their work, he would never shut them down. He attempted to a few times, yes, but like we said before...he always changed his mind. I say conspiracy because mysterious things surround that project. Anthony was murdered. An unknown party stole information about it. Your dad went insane. There's just no answers to any of it. Maybe now that the FBI is digging in NewFuture we'll learn some-" Clinton is cut off by Sonia's loud declaration that lunch is ready.
After a delicious, but relatively awkward and silent meal, Sonia and Clinton depart together once more. Melanie gives Felix the cold shoulder. "Mel...I'm sorry. You can't blame me for being curious..." Felix tries defending himself. "Why can't we please just drop this for a while? It's not even our business. We don't need to be involved in this..." Melanie says as she turns to look him in the eyes. The power of those beautiful green eyes is too much for Felix. "It's just...so many questions...my parents seem to be...behind all of it..." he stammers. Her eyes drill into his very soul. "Gah...I can't take it...no more... I'm sorry Melanie! I'll drop the subject for a while!" he cries out. Melanie smiles and hugs Felix. "I knew you'd agree with me! Hehe," she giggles; "Now how are you going to make it up to me?" It's 1 PM.
[] Drive her to the neighboring city to hang out in their huge mall.
[] Go to Crystal Waters.
[] Take her to the coffee shop she loves on main street.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
