<strong> Melissa Adams<br/>Being called in earlier than expected (http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/babycakes_0765/characters/megan-fox-sensual-1680x1050.jpg)</strong><br/><br/>It took a minute for Melissa to realize her phone was ringing, but when she did, she snatched it up quickly, trying to sound as if she'd already been awake, and failing.<br/><br/>"Hello?" she asked cautiously, wondering who was calling her, and feeling even worse when she found out it was Natalie.  She wasn't supposed to start working until next week, but apparently Natalie was stuck and needed someone now, and Melissa had been the first one to answer her phone.  "Don't worry, I'll be over as soon as I can, assuming the weather will let me," she said, glancing out the window and frowning.  It would take her forever to get to work at this rate, but she wouldn't let Natalie down.  She was nervous, never having done this type of work before, but also curious and excited enough to work through the nervousness.  She hung up with Natalie, upset with herself for being asleep, but blaming the weather.  Normally she was an early riser, and fairly cheerful at that, but the bad weather had gotten her in the mood for staying warm, and she'd ended up falling asleep.<br/><br/>Hurrying with her shower, she was through in record time, and debating on whether she should waste time with blow drying her hair, another glance out the window deciding for her, even though it would mean a few more minutes' wait.  Still, she didn't want to go out in that with wet hair, and catch pneumonia.  Eventually though her hair was done to her satisfaction, and she left in a hurry, fairly sure she wouldn't see her apartment until she had a couple of off days, but not minding it so much.<br/><br/>She drove as quickly but as carefully as she could, wanting to show up to help Natalie, but still wanting to be safe, but soon she was pulling into the parking lot, seeing several cars and trucks already parked.  She made her way inside, only slowing down when she reached the door, not wanting to look like she was in a rush, giving a smile to the man seated on the couch, guessing he was the one Natalie had called her for.  Natalie seemed to be busy herself, talking with someone who looked really familiar, but Melissa couldn't place him, without seeing his face.  She had the strangest feeling she'd seen him somewhere before though.<br/><br/>She gave a silent wave to Natalie, letting her know she was here, but not wanting to interrupt the conversation.  She could at least get to know the person she'd be staying with, while she waited for Natalie.  She took a seat on the couch, giving him a nervous but sincere smile.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry you had to wait, but this weather's wreaking havoc on everyone today, it looks like.  I'm Melissa," she said, keeping her voice low so that she wouldn't interrupt Natalie, but still loud enough to not be whispering.
