Chapter 1: The day I met Devin

 

 Hi, my name is Melanie and this is my insane love story!

I didn't realize it at the time, but when I was ten I met the man of my dreams. Of course he was nine at the time. I remember the day we met, my mother brother and I were visiting my uncle. He lived upstate NY, in a four family house that my grandma once owned. When she died she left everything to her ten children.

Uncle Bryan wound up buying the home from all his siblings. He lived in one apartment and rented out the others. My other uncle James lived in the apartment across from Bryan with his family.

Down stairs my other uncle Iain lived in one apartment with his family. He lived in a one bed room apartment so his wife's son from her first marriage got one of the room's in the basement. The basement was divided into five rentable rooms with at shared kitchen and bathroom.

In the other apartment on the first floor was a family that my family has known for years. The other rooms in the basement were rented out. In one room was my uncle Elijah and in another room was my uncle Nate. There was also a cousin of my mothers who rented out a room too, his name was Papo. The last room was taken by my cousin Jordan, my uncle Iain's step son.

When we got to Uncle Bryan's house he had a lady friend of his there. “This is Claire” he introduced her to us. Then he looked to my brother and me as he pushed a shy skinny little boy in front of him. “And this is her son Devin; I want you guys to play nice with him.” Devin was maybe an inch shorter then me, skinny, white sin, straight black hair, black eyes with the fullest eye lashes a boy could ever have! I was jealous!

I must admit when I first saw him I thought he was kind of cute, but it was nothing more then the tinniest of crushes. Mom sent us out to play so the three of us went out side. My brother Ryan was very talkative and was quickly trying to make good friends with Devin. I was the only girl but I was pretty much a tom boy so I fit in pretty well.

We played silly games like tag and such until more of my family came over. I was glade when my uncle Isaiah came because that meant my cousin Erin was with him. Erin was four years younger then me, but she was my favorite cousin. She and I wound up playing with Devin a lot.

We wrestled (like I said Tom Boy) I always beat him. It was pretty fun. I must say though I was very young it was exciting pinning him down to the ground. There was one point when I had him down his arms pined under my legs, and my older cousin's Gavin and Chase started singing “Devin likes Mel, Devin likes Mel”

I got up off him after that cause Erin wanted to go play out side with the rest of our many, many cousins, so we did. The rest of that day was fairly simple. My cousin's and I played man hunt. We were divided into two groups. My brother, Erin, my cousins David and Gio were on my team. Witch kind of sucked, because my bro was six so was Erin and David, Gio was the only one close to my age.

On the other team were my cousins, Gavin, Chase, Damian, and Devin. They were out numbered but they where older. Thirteen, twelve, ten, and nine. So of course there team won, I mean really how was a bunch of six year olds supposed to out run them! That was pretty much how the day went. I know I know nothing overly marking to make this day as a memorable one, but it was for me. It was the day we met.

***

Not long after that my uncle Bryan asked Claire to marry him, and she agreed. So Devin was soon to be my cousin. It was ok because I really liked Claire and her son's. I later met her oldest son, Jason he was fourteen. Boy did I ever have a crush on him. I use to think he was the whipped cream on the ice cream.

So naturally like any other girl my age I acted stupid around him. I'm sure he thought I was the biggest pain in the ass. For years he would try to at the very least be friends with me, but for some reason I would be so mean and rude to him.

I like to blame it on stupidity. After the wedding my new cousin Devin and I grew close. When ever we were together we always hung out. There were many family get a ways and the two of us were always together.

I remember when I was thirteen we went to camp for the weekend, and my cousin Erin was so upset. She told our older cousins that she was mad at me because I was always with Devin and not with her.

Boy did they ever yell at me, but that's when I first noticed maybe I liked him more then I should have. After that we started distancing ourselves from one another. When ever we were at family functions we made sure we only hung out when we were in groups.

Our parents never suspected us to like one another and honestly I didn't really think he liked me. Sure there was the occasional cousin teasing about Devin liking me, but I paid no mind to it. That is until one year when I was fourteen; he was thirteen going on fourteen in a month. My brother was with his father for the weekend and my mother and I went to visit Uncle Bryan and Aunt Claire. Devin and I hung out and played video games in his room.

When it was time to leave my mother asked me if I wanted to stay over and she would get me the next night. I looked to Devin who shrugged his shoulders and then back to my mom and said sure. So my mom left, and we continued to play games most the night.

When it was time for bed I thought maybe I or Devin would be sleeping out on the sofa but Claire made up a bed on the floor next to Devin's bed. “Mel is a girl so she get's the bed” she told to her son. I remember teasing him about that. “It's time for bed so no more games, if you want you can put on a movie” My uncle Bryan told us.

So that's what we did. I don't really remember what the movie was because, the thing that marked this night as a memorable one for me was the fact that, as we were watching the T.V. Devin who was sitting on his make shift bed at the time reached his hand over and placed it on my ankle.

I looked at his hand on my bare skin then to him, his eyes did not leave the T.V. screen. So for a second I thought nothing of it. That is until his hand moved up to my knee. This time he looked me right in the eyes and I didn't look away as his hand rose up higher to my thighs then around my butt.

He caressed my thighs a few more times before he got bolder and slipped his hands between my legs. He kept still for a moment then squeezed before rising up to cup my most privet area. It went no farther then that and no words were spoken between us. We just stopped and acted as it never happened.

Though that was far from being the end. That same year (though I turned 15 and him 14) the whole family went to P.A. to my Aunt Brianna's house for the weekend. This so happened to be the same weekend that my mother and aunt figured out that I had a crush on Jason Devin's brother but didn't figure out that anything was going on with Devin and me.

I remember that weekend so clearly. It was the first time I was able to act normal around Jason. It was also the first time I noticed Devin, I mean really noticed him. It had only been maybe 4 or 5 months since I spent the night at his house and to me he looked so different.

It seemed as if he grew a foot, his hair a little longer, jet black and straight like his brothers. Jason was defiantly more rugged and handsome, but Devin was …. Almost gorgeous in that movie start kind of way.

I tried to ignor all that and pretend everything was the same. My aunt Brianna had three acres of land and at night was the best time to play man hunt. Again we were set up into groups.

In my group there was Jael 14, his older brother Santino 19(we call him tino for short), there sister Erin my favorite cousin who was 11 at the time, our cousin Jorden 16, David 11, and my brother Ryan who was 11. On the other team was my cousin's, Gio who was 13, Gavin who was 16, chase who also was 16, Damian who was 19, Jason who was 17, and Devin who was 14.

As usual my team was getting beat. Jason was like a ghost you never knew where he was nor could you catch him. He was dumb fast! Nobody caught him not once. So you must believe that I was very proud, that when it was our teams turn to be the hunted I out ran Jason. See it went like this. I was hiding ½ way down the hill and it was dark so nobody could see me. But I guess that's not entirely true because Jason found me, and when he did I was out like a bat out of hell heading for our safe point.

He was hot on my tale cursing about how fast I was and just when I was about to be safe I had what my cousin and I like to call a blond moment and I tripped. Yes that is right I tripped! Jason sat on top of me and did the man hunt count “man hunt man hunt 123 123” and I was out.

I lost that round but I got to say I don't regret a second of it. Jose sat on me for a second more “Damn girl you were to fast for me” he smiled oh that smile made me blush. He offered his hand to help me up and I took it. It wasn't much but that one moment made me happy.

That trip was filled with distinctive things that made it memorable. For example the other thing that happened that weekend was quite funny now that I think about it, though at the time I was very much out raged! For more then one reason!

See, later that night the older cousins where pretty much hanging out up stairs or out side. So Jael, Erin, Gio, Devin, Ryan and I went down to the basement to play. Gio pulled out these big blue mats' that his father had to work out with.

We had decided to play wrestling. The first match was Jael and Gio. Gio won hands down but Jael was a sore looser. He said “that's because he's ten time's fatter then me!” I know I know kids can be crewel. The next match was Erin and Ryan, when Erin won Ryan had a conniption fit! He blamed it on “because she scratches like a girl.” boys and there stupid pride.

But who am I to talk, when my own pride was tested that night as well. That brings us to my fight. I was matched up with Devin. I went into this fight thinking oh this is a no brainer I would win hands down. I mean this was Devin I always beat him.

But that is not exactly how it went. I tried and I tried but I just couldn't pin him so then he put me in a head lock and no matter what I did I just couldn't get out of it. But I wasn't giving up NO!

I some how managed to place him in a head lock as well and we stood there for a good long time. Everyone around us got tired of waiting to see who would win so they left us there. Devin was all red and had such a serious face about him. “Mel give up already!” he growled out to me.

But I wouldn't I just couldn't except the fact that Devin was beating me. In fact now that I think about it I'm sure he could have won easily. Just as I'm also sure that everything played out the way it did for a reason. Because what happened next was the second thing that night that hurt my pride. Or my feelings witch ever category you want to put it under.

“Mel if you don't give up your going to regret it” he teased in an almost singing voice. “Not likely” I shouted back. And then it happened. He cupped my breast. That's right full hand to breast contact. I was furious! I pushed him back hard freeing me from his grasp then plunged full force at him. A lot of good that did for me.

He simply side stepped me held me from behind both my arms pin down to my side as one of his hands slide down my abdomen to cup my center. That's right he cooped two feels in less then a minute.

By this time I was growling in rage, when my brother and Erin came down. “Just checking up on you two.” Erin said in an overly sweet voice. “Are you guys done yet?” Ryan asked in annoyance. “Mel just gave up the match.” Devin smirked down at me as he let me go and headed up the stairs with my brother right behind him. All the wile Erin was looking at me kind of funny. “Devin beat you?” she said in a shocked kind of way.

I just sorely grumbled to her something along the lines of “I let him win.” that's right I was the biggest sore looser! I think it had a lot to do with the fact that it was Devin. Any way I think you can pretty much guess that from here on out our relationship got more … involved.
