Blemished Love - Season 1 - Episode 58

Melisa gave him an angry look and turned to the nurse. She held her hand gently and walked her out of the room.
‘I think Tom is looking for me.’ Grissel broke the silence in the room when they were both exchanging glances.’


Grissel held on to Dane on the floor and finally made her way up.
‘You look unwell Grissel.’ Melisa shifted her attention to Grissel walking towards her.
‘Your brother isn’t feeding me well I guess.’ She teased.
‘Don’t let him hear that?’ Melisa laughed.
Grissel glanced at them and walked out.

Melisa walked over to his wheel chair and dragged it to where Dane was seated.
‘Get on to the chair.’ She ordered.


A smile appeared on his face and vanished in a split second. He was obviously happy Melisa was talking to him.

‘How do I get in there? Remember you cut off my legs.’ Dane said shifting himself from the floor.

‘You think I made that decision slightly?’ She asked annoyingly.
‘You should have just left me to die.’
‘Great, there’s still time to die.’ She said and turned around checking the medicine cabinet in the room when she heard a bang.
‘Jeez.’ Dane winced in pain.
‘What happened?’ She rushed to him on the floor.
‘You said I should get on the wheel chair right?’
‘I’m sorry. That’s a lot of blood.’ Melisa said when she took off the covering on the amputated leg.
Dane just stared at her while she checked him out. He knew it was just a matter of time before she stopped being angry with him.
‘I need to get rid of the blood before you get an infection.’
Dane watched her go about attending to his leg in a haste.
‘Lisa?
‘Uhmmm.’ She hummed still focused on the leg.
‘I love you.’ Dane announced while Melisa gently raised up her head just for their nose to meet.
Melisa didn’t care if there was blood on her hands because she didn’t hesitate to give in quickly. It was just as if she was waiting for him to make the attempt.
Just when their lips found their rightful places Dane started to shed tears. Melisa felt the tears on her face and paused slowly.
‘Are you okay? Did I hurt you?’ She stared in to his eyes.
‘I’m just not sure what this kiss means for us Lisa.’
‘Can we talk about this later?’ She said withdrawing her hands wrapped around his neck.
‘What’s stopping us from talking right now?’ Dane asked anxiously.
‘Because I just cheated on my boyfriend with an ex that I’m very much still in love with?’
‘I didn’t mean to put you in that position.’ He said remorsefully.
‘It’s alright, I always knew this would happen someday.’
‘Oh so you were bluffing earlier.’ Dane teased.
‘About?’ Melisa asked resuming the attention she was giving his leg earlier.
‘Yesterday you slapped me and a while ago was another story.’
‘You hurt me and went away without a goodbye then you expect me to save your life when you came back half dead?’
‘I remember you asked me to leave.’ Dane said smooching her hair.
‘I was expecting you to fight for me but you just gave up and left.’
‘I wasn’t a magician to know that was what you wanted.’ He replied sarcastically.
‘But I came looking for you.’ She confessed.
‘You did?’
‘Yes, but you were not at the cabin nor Dallas.’
‘Oh I went to Connecticut.’ Dane smiled at her.
‘Where you lived before with Grissel?’ Melisa finally finished cleaning his leg up and dropped the used cotton inside the bin.
‘Yeah and it has nothing to do with Grissel.’
‘I know that Dane.’
‘Good, can I get another kiss? I miss you.’ He smiled.
‘Same here but we have to do this right.’ Melisa cautioned.
‘Can you just call Bryan now and do the break up?’ Dane figured that was what she meant by doing things right.
‘Come on, he deserves an explanation not just a phone call.’
‘Alright, I can wait.’ He finally gave up and drew her closer once more in a romantic lip searching.
‘Someone might come in.’ Melisa said in between their clenched lips.
‘Who cares besides this is a private room.’ Dane tried to convince her.
He reached out pulling her closer for another kiss. For a few seconds, Melisa felt a shadow on her and quickly left his face for him.
‘Tom.’ She said turning around to face him. Melisa could smell his perfume from a hundred miles away.
Dane just feigned a smile.
‘Do you have something to say?’ Tom asked smiling.
‘Emmm, I was just clea…..’
‘Cleaning him up?’
‘Yes.’ She responded coyly.
‘Look man, I think you should allow your sister to live her life.’
‘And who said I want to stand in her way.’ Tom responded.
‘Good because I’m ready for another fight.’
Dane said then both Melisa and her brother laughed.
‘With one leg?’ Melisa teased.
‘I had no idea you love my leg that much.’ Dane teased back while she continue cleaning his wound.
‘Lisa, you really want him?’ Tom asked after few moments of silence.
She nodded smiling.
‘Come on, don’t ruin the fun. I want to hear you say it.’ Dane laughed.
‘I’m waiting for you.’ Tom stressed.
‘Of course, you were my only obstacle.’
‘Great, but if he dare touch a strand of your hair violently yo….’
‘I can’t be foolish twice in my life so your sister is safe with me.’ Dane cut him off.
‘You are on probation for now.’ Tom added smiling.
‘Thank you Tom.’ Melisa rushed to give him a hug.
‘But you do know my house is off limit now right?’
‘Roger that.’ Dane said after a humorous laughter. He was expecting that and see nothing wrong with it.
Melisa thought that was harsh but she understood his brother needs to see some changes in Dane to let him near the family.
After a few more warnings Melisa personally took him through the rest of the process for his wounds to be properly attended to.
