Act 14

Mel

When Rosemary eventually vanished inside her formidable hotel, Mel leaned against their car and took a deep breath, while touching the skillfully crocheted cloth that the girl had gifted them.
They felt like they were melting.

“Hoooollly shit, dude,” they heard the snake talking in their head, “I can’t believe she likes us so much!”

“She likes me,” Mel corrected it, while entering their car and opening up a bag of macadamias that were always in reach to dig in.

The cane transformed into a real snake and took the seat next to them, like a proper passenger. “Uh-uh, nope. She specifically said that she finds me beautiful. And that I’m growing on her. And then she pet me like no one pet me before. Why do you never pet me, Mel?”

“Silence,” Mel hissed, as they started up the car, “I’m not talking to you. I’m still very angry at you."

“C’mon now, didn’t you choke me enough already? I’ve said sorry, jeez. It’s not very gentlemanly of you to perform animal cruelty during a date.”

“You’re not an animal. You’re a demon.”

“You say tomato. Who fucking cares. I wanna talk about her, man. Don’t act cool, I know you’re excited about this, too. I can’t believe you let her touch your paunch.”

“I can’t believe it, either, to be honest,” Mel said and chewed down some more nuts. “Never thought I’d ever let anyone do that again. Besides… you know.”

“She’s a witch or something, I swear. Those big, different-colored eyes, when they look at you - pheeeeew. Makes your head spin and do all of her bidding. Kneel before her? Sure. Like her boots? Yes, please. Kill a man? Just tell me where and when.”

“I told you not to talk about her like that.”

“Yeye, I know I know. It’s true though, right? Man, I really like her. I swear to hell, if you fuck this up with her, Melchior, I’m going to fucking punch a second asshole into you.”

“I don’t intend to.”

“So.. are you two now a couple, or what?? Is she your girlfriend?”

Mel’s face started to feel hot. “It’s too early to think about things like this. We just consented to more dates in a more committed fashion.”

“Yeah yeah, sure whatever. And then her kissin’ ya again?? Ayooo, I almost creamed.”

“Screamed, you mean.”

“No.”

“Stop being so disgustingly vulgar.”

“Never. I can’t help it. Need to compensate for that stick shoved up your ass. Man, I wish she’d kiss me again, too. Will you let me, next time?”

Mel squeezed the wheel harder. “Careful, demon. Thin ice. You’re lucky I didn’t kill you for doing that to her.”

“Ah, shut it! You wouldn’t. You need me, and even tho you love lyin’ about it, you adore me. Besides, you wouldn’t be able to. That takes another demon, or at least Buffy or the Winchester Brothers.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Because you’re mentally stuck in, like, 1655, my guy. Anyway, as I told you before, and in case you forgot: I didn’t force myself onto her, okay? She said that she liked that side of me. Of you, I mean. She said that specifically, aight? And then it was her tryin’ to kiss me. I only did what she wanted me to do. Figured it’d be okay in that specific situation. Calm down already, will ya? Jeez, that’s exactly the reason why I didn’t tell you in the first place. And don’t come at me with that hypocritical ‘you were deceiving her’ bullcrap. You’re deceiving her too, in case you didn’t notice. Besides, I saved your sorry ass back then, don’t forget that. I even listened to Morris yelling at me for at least an hour for you, until she finally left.”

Mel made a grumpy noise, but said nothing.

“Good. Now let’s stop fighting and instead focus on that cute little thingy she made that she gave us. Not sure what it is, a blanket or scarf or whatever, but I want to snuggle into it for a week.”

Mel sighed, surrendered, and layed the shawl next to the snake, which quickly nestled inside of it.
