A Jealous Bite

Chapter 6

:Flowers:

~Miguel's pov

Estella had been taking care of herself more often, and she started to wear a different perfume, one that drew me mad. I feared she had started seeing someone.

It was getting close to valentines Day, and I wanted to get Estella something nice. I figured these roses would do nicely and maybe a little note? I delivered it a bit early to her desk. In my car, I realized I had to be more romantic to win her over. I'm so stupid. More flowers! And a letter?

As I walked into work, the sent of Estellas perfume engulfed my nose.It was so hard to control my urges around her. I just wanted to make her mine and only mine...

Esté mujer me vuelve loco...

~Estella's pov

After receiving those flowers, I felt the urge to make myself look pretty, I wanted Miguel to notice me. I did my hair down today and put on a bit of tinted lip gloss. He's sure to notice this.

He walked in with something behind his back, "Good morning." he walked towards my desk, and my heart fluttered. "Good morning, Miguel" I said looking up from my desk "I um, I have something for you" he had a very warm and genuine smile on his face when he handed me a much smaller set of roses ,and tucked in between the stems was a note.

"Oh Miguel, thank you..." A small blush flushes over my cheeks."De nada," his voice was deeper and huskier than usual, and he almost never spoke Spanish to me. I had set that boundary years ago when we first started to work together because his Spanish turned me on. And of course, I blushed.

I set the roses inside with the vase with other ones as he walked back to his desk. I look over at the note, and it reads

I may have my issues, but I really do value you. I think that I've let my issues get in the way of something that could have been really good. I'm sorry about how I treated you, but I'm ready to talk now if you are.

Please be understanding if I can't let my guard down just yet, but it would mean a lot if you could give me another chance.

I blushed reading the note. I grab the remote to my curtains and close them. No way in he'll I was going to let Miguel see me do a little happy dance. I blushed, come on, get it together, you're the boss! I pulled myself together and managed to calm down.
