Flower Girl. (Chris Evans)

Chapter 4

FLOR.

"So... you and Chris?" Susan asks as soon as she approach the table.

"Hi Susan, what about me and Chris?" she seats down, and we order some mimosas.

"Don't get all shy on me, I saw the way he was looking at you and he left the party 30 seconds after you" she wiggles her eyebrows at me.

Way to be subtle Chris.

"Well, nothing like what you're thinking happened, yes, I went to his place, and I spent the night there but just as friends, we catch up since we haven't seen together in a while" I'm not lying, Chris and I talked, and we'll be casually "dating/ friends".

"Damn it, I was so sure you've had sex." She does look disappointed at the fact I didn't sleep with him.

"Well, I didn't. Why don't you tell me how was putting the kids to bed after the party, they were hyper when I left."

Scott approaches our table "Hey ladies! Good morning. This is Steve, my boyfriend."

"Hey Ken! Hi Steve, nice to meet you" Susan and I invite them to join in our brunch.

"Last night was so much fun, I'm sorry you miss it love" Scott says to Steve "but I've been wanting you guys to meet each other, this is one of my best friends, she gets my extravagant side if you know what I mean" he says making a face.

I chuckle "Scott, even the salt and pepper on the table would know what you mean if they knew you."

The next hour or so is spend catching up with friends but eventually we all must go back to our lives and right as I get in my car my phone pings with a text.

I miss you, why did you leave?

I told you I had a brunch date with Susan 
btw Scott and Steve joined us.

How fun, are you done with it?

Why are you so grumpy rn?

I MISS YOU. Can you come over?

I can't, I have to go open the store we're getting 
a restock. You're welcome to join me.

What's the address, I'm on my way.

I just chuckle while I text him the address and start driving. After 6 songs of my playlist, I finally arrive at the store and he's already here.

"Did you fly or something?" I say as a greeting while opening the door for us.

"Told you I was on my way" I just past the door when I'm being pull to his body "Hi" he says while tilting my head.

"Hi" I say smiling at him "why were you so grumpy?"

"I woke up without you and I know I fell asleep with you in my arms" I just chuckle and with that he chuckles as well "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I can kiss it better" I say winking at him, he leans forward to kiss me but there's a knock on the door and he groans.

"Whoever that is, I don't like them." I peck his lips and he looks slightly less bothered.

CHRIS.

Flor opens the door to a guy who's smiling at her.

"Hi beautiful, good morning. How are you this Sunday?" he says greeting her, I don't like that, he's the guy who provides flowers to the shop.

"Hi, John. Everything's fine, how's your daughter?"

Oh, he has a family, that's good.

"She's fine, she'll love to come see your new place. I'm gonna pick her up tomorrow afternoon, maybe we can come over?"

Okay, that's no good, he's bringing his daughter to be with Flor.

"Of course, she can pick the flowers for her mom herself." He gives her the receipt and goes back to the truck while she reads it.

Yes! She does have a mother! "So... He's nice" I say approaching Flor.

"Hmm...?" She turns around to look at me "Yeah he is, why?" I just shrug my shoulders. "Let me go check they leave everything I'm gonna need and pay them, then I'll be yours." Flor says while taking the receipt and her phone.

I walk around the store for a couple of minutes when she enters with a huge smile on her face.

"So... John asked if it would be possible to get a picture with you..." she takes my hand before I agree to do it. "Be nice, he's a good guy."

"Should I be jealous?" I say joking.

I take a picture with the guy, and he then ask one with Flor, him and I. And I ask one of Flor and I in front of her store, then I take one of Flor by herself. We ask him to wait a couple of weeks to post the picture, and to only post the one with him and I, to keep Flor out of the media's eye. He actually is a nice guy.

"So, everything good to go?" I ask Flor so we can go.

"Yes, I'll just lock the door and we can go. What are we doing today?" I notice that since we enter the store, she's all business checking the place and arranging the things for tomorrow.

"Hey baby?" she turns to look at me "You said you'll kiss it better."

I step closer to her and put one hand on her waist and the other on her neck to tilt her head back in order to press my lips against hers. We gently move our lips against each other, it's slow, it's intimate, it's us. We pull apart, and I can see the most beautiful smile on her face.

"Do you feel better?" I know she's kidding but I'm actually feeling better.

"Jokes on you, silly. I've got a night and a day with my favorite girl. Can we go now?" she nods, and I peck her lips before going outside. "Can we go on my car? I'll bring you back so you can pick up yours before going home."

"Yeah, that's fine. But what's the plan? What are we doing today?" I help her get in the car before getting myself.

"I was thinking we can grab something to eat and do a picnic, it's a beautiful day" I reach to grab her hand even while driving I want to be in contact with her.

"I love that, can we also get some desserts?"

"Sure, whatever you like, in fact grab my phone so we can place an order and just pick it up." She does and she turns to look at me shock.

"Chris! You need to set a passcode, anyone can take your phone and steal all your information."

"Fine, place the order and then you can do it. Make it 083021."

She nods "What's that?" I place a kiss on the back of her hand before replying.

"The day we met."
