Chapter 24

He was still quiet, and I didn't know what to say at the moment, but I knew it was a little to good to be true. He was just like every other guy.

"Hello? Did the cat catch your tongue?" I teased.

He chuckled nervously, "Emeraude? How did you know?" He finished chuckling, which irritates me because, I'm not sure if maybe I'm exaggerating or he's playing me.

"Would you believe I was Google-ing you, and she popped up randomly?"

He laughs hard, again it irks me. He's been flirting with me all of this time and never told me about his girlfriend and that's suddenly okay? "You were Google-ing me? Someone's seems interested..." Ugh! I can fell the smirk on his lips when he said that. And, he's flirting, again! Okay, maybe I am making a big deal out of it. It must be in his nature.

"Well--" Shit, what do I say now? He caught me, how awkward. Eh I'll just let him know how it went down, "Eh, a fan of yours was telling me how you guys always together but you deny her everytime, shame on you." Ooh I fired back!

He cleared his throat, "I like my life to be private." Now he was serious, but I was mad, he has a girlfriend and did all of those cute things with me. Nope, it's just not right.

"So you're saying that you're a flirt and you almost tried to kiss me when you were here with me and you have a girlfriend? Aren't you a little fuckboy--" Holy shit! That literally just came out of my mouth--like that.

He laughs, my face falls flat, I was serious. He's not taking me seriously and its pissing me off. "Lilly I love your fiestyness it's cute." There he goes again.

I give the fakest small laugh I know, "Yeah, well I gotta go, have fun with whatever you're doing, I have work to do and I'm trying to think of a way to getting hundreds of roses in my car so bye--"

"Wait!" He calls just before I pressed my thumb on the end button. "Someone got you roses, I thought you had zero admirers!" I know a smirk was forming on his lips.

"Obviously not." I reply back bored.

"Well take care of those roses, that guy who must've sent them to you must really care for you." His voice sincere. And that's where inside of me a tiny light turned up, and as the realization in my head grew bigger, I gasped. "You ok?" He asked.

"Fine." I whispered. He did it? He sent me all of these roses. "Did you send me the roses?" I bluntly asked.

"Lilly you know I would love to, but I have no idea where you work.."

From his voice, I couldn't pick up anything, not even the tiniest detail that could hint that he actually sent them. "Oh well yeah ok..." I mumbled.

We we're both quiet. An awkward silence.

He sighed, "Lilly... I care about you, I really do. I know you're probably thinking that I'm a player and all of this shit, but I'm not. If I made myself look that way, I'm sorry..."

I let his words sink in, not a trace of bs in them. Senses, I learn to listen to them. It's as if I can distinguish whether you are playing me or being honest with me. I always listen to my gut feeling, and I know that Royce is not lying to me. I decide to go with it. "Friends then?"

He chuckles softly, "Naw Lilly, you're more then just a friend, you're my best girl kind of friend."

I smiled widely at that reference, "Best friends I see, then I'll have to send you a best friend keychain and all that corny stuff!"

He laughed, "I'll do the same, but you missy has to get back to work, I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah, we'll have a fun Lover's Day!"
