Melissa took the salve with her as she raced out of Steve's apartment. She jumped on her bike and headed home. "Oh that brother of mine!" Melissa giggled to herself.
Melissa had to admit she was a bit too close to Steve. She had developed a bit of a crush on him. She did not have any friends that were boys. Her mother and father were too protective. She ignored the forbidden ideas and stayed his sister.
Lucky for Melissa, the family lived near the Community College. Steve's apartment was just two blocks down the road, and she could visit him any time. It was about lunch time when Melissa got home. It looked like her mother was already at work. Same with dad. They wouldn't be home until dusk.
After making a sandwich, Melissa sat down and started to watch some TV. She pulled the Salve out of her pocket and sat it next to her. After finishing her sandwich, Melissa picked up the salve and read it again. "Just a dab and your wishes shall be granted..."
"That is a strange slogan." Mel thought to herself. "But *Sniff Sniff* it really does not smell that bad."
Melissa put a bit on her wrist and rubbed them together. Then a few dabs around her neck and bust. *Sniff Sniff* "Mmm... It smells much better now!"
Melissa's vision blurred a bit. She felt a bit tired. "I suppose it was that bike ride. It took the energy right out of me!" Melissa turned off the TV and put her dishes away. Stretching, she lyes down on the couch to take a nap. Images of Steve filled her mind. She quickly tried to think of other subjects but his face kept on popping up.
*Sigh* "I give up. I wish there was something that would attract my brother to me!"
