Melinda was at the kitchen, fixing the last details of the restaurant. What food is going to be served that day, and all you can imagine. She smiled as she heard Ashley, Jason and Jamie talking. Then, after cleaning some plates, she walked back to the tables and heard Ashley asking for a new place. "Sure, you can...welcome to the Black Mannor..." Melinda said, smiling.

Well except for being quiet, Jamie, Excelsior and I are the same" Jason told Jamie smiling at her. "So Melinda, are you interested in the peanut butter- chees pototo chips that Excelsior invented at the restaraunt?' Jason asked her. "Did you know Excelsior is now a Billionaire because of the potato chips and he made up a league of a kind of Quidittich for Americans." jason told Melinda. " I will owl him Ashley if Melinda does not mind him coming here" Jason told her.

Melinda opened her eyes wider than ever. "Umm...of course...I haven't seen Excelsior...since...I don't know...invite him and...let's see how those potatoes...work here..." Melinda said, smiling.

"Actually they are potato chips Melinda and thank you for his invite." Jason told her.

Congratualions on all your good luck since you left HogWarts. I would like you to be best man at my wedding to Jamie Chapley. She is the girl and the woman I had been owling you all the time See you when you get here.

"Potato chips...sorry...I have been distracted..." Melinda said and smiled.

"Chris or thiking about Chris distracting you?' Jason asked Melinda. " I can't wait for Jamie and I to get married and you and Chris to get married" Jason told her. Belvedere, Ann B. and Florencia are excited about them both being at the castle" Jason told Melinda.
ooc: got to go for awhile.

"Nothing of that...too much...of the restaurant...and you know...the babies..." Melinda said, sighing. "I am excited as well, but Chris and I still need to see when will that happen..." Melinda said as she cleaned some cups.

"Who are they?" Melinda asked him.

ooc- ok...see ya!

" Belevedere is my butler, Ann B. is downstairs maid and sometimes cook and Florenicia is my upstairs maid." Jason told Melinda. " They are like family so they are treatd as family and not as workers" Jason said.

"Oh...I see...sorry..." Melinda said and quickly fixed table arrangements for the next night.

" No need to be sorry cousin, you just forgot about them and that means you treat them as family, too which Ann B. , Florencia and Belevedere really appreciate." Jason tells Melinda.

"I hate being this distracted..." Melinda said, groaning. "I...wish nothing of this happens...I just wish the good things never end..." Melinda said, letting out some tears. She was desperate. Life was pressuring her, grandma was pressuring her.

Jason hold his cousin Melinda in his arms and wipes away her tears. 'Everything will turn out ok" Jason told her. Jason kissed Melinda on the forehead and then tickled her.

Melinda tried to smile, but soon, she was giggling. "Stop...stop..." She said still cleaning her tears. "Stop the tickling, you know that makes me...go mad..." She said, laughing.

ooc- sorry took too long. I am doing house chores. and homework...

Chris walked into the kitchen. He went behind Melinda, hugged her, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Hey". he said to her.

Melinda felt Chris hugging her. She smiled and turned to hug him. "Hey..." She said and kissed his lips.

"So what are you two talking about, anything that would confuse me?" he asked smiling.

"No...just confusing...times...I am spending...Grandma...the kids..." Melinda said and tried to smile. She sighed. "But I am glad you are here...I missed you today..." She said and hugged him tight.

Chris hugged her back. "So has your Grandmother, said anything else about me?" he asked her.

"No...I wake up first and come back here to the restaurant as soon as she wakes up..." Melinda said.

"Oh well thats smart. She probably doesn't like me, and never will". he said.

"Oh, don't say that...tomorrow...will be the opening night...and of course she is coming. She likes you, but likes Roger...or Daniel...better..." Melinda said, mentioning the last boy her grandmother mentioned her at the last morning.

"Oh thats tomorrow? I just totally forgot". Chris said.

Melinda smiled. "Oh..it's ok...you also have a lot of work..." She said and pulled away from hugging him. She started to fix her ponytail. "I hate this...cold.." Melinda said, shivering by just looking outside the wind. ooc-it's winter.

"Don't worry I will be there". he said to her. "Yeah I know the cold is bad, I have been useing my roomates car, sence its to cold for my motorcycle". he said to her.

"I heard when you arrived. " Melinda said and covered her chest with her sweater.
