Andre

I open the door and a little bell rings as I walk in, "Hello, how can I help you today?" An older woman smiles at me behind the counter. I look around at all the different flowers, "I hope so." I scratch the back of my neck, "I need some flowers." She nods, "Well you made it to the right place."

I sigh, "I need a bouquet of sunflowers and red roses." She smiles, "You screwed up?" She raises her eyebrow, "Pretty bad I think." She laughs, "Let me see what I can do." She walks away from the counter and a woman smiles at me, "Hey I'm Haley." She offers her hand, "Andre." I shake her hand, "I can't help but see how deep you are." I take a deep breath, "Is it that noticeable?" She nods laughing.

I cross my arms over my chest and notice her small flirtations, "Is she really worth all the trouble?" She asks biting her lip, "Some of us don't have to have flowers for a proper apology, just an enjoyable night."

Did she just?

She smirks reaching for me, "Okay I'm gonna have to stop you there." I take a step back and she comes closer, "Let me help you out?" She says flirting, "She'll never know, come on Andre we're friends." I look at her in utter disbelief. I see the lady behind the counter coming back, "How will these do?" She says holding out a bouquet of red roses and sunflowers.

I nod, "Those are perfect, thank you." She smiles, "Sweetheart that's what I do." I hand her some money and donate the rest to a charity she was sponsoring, "Good luck." She gives me one last smile, "Thanks I need it." I laugh nervously.

I turn on my heel and BOOM there she is, "My place is right around the corner." She sticks her bottom lip out. I notice she's pulled her shirt down more to get me to look at her boobs, "Not interested." I walk past her and out the door. I hit the button on my remote and the driver door unlocks just in time for me to get in to escape Haley.

I lay the flowers in the passenger seat and start the engine. Haley walks out and smiles at me, creepy. I hurry away and start driving until I hit a red light.

I pull out my phone and see a message from Rebecca:

Babygirl❤️ 

I'm at your place meet me here ASAP

I put my phone under my thigh and drive through the green light. Good thing my place isn't far from here, I follow the flow of traffic. Why is she at my place? I let out a deep breath and pull into the parking lot. I see Becca leaning up against her car.

She's wearing leggings and a hoodie with her hair in a ponytail. Her light pink hoodie makes me smile, but why doesn't she look happy? I park next to her and get out of the car to see her wiping her cheeks with the ends of her sleeves. I don't bother turning off my car or closing my door, "Hey what's wrong?" I ask worriedly and she shakes her head.

"I'm stupid that's what's wrong." I don't get it, "I came here to talk to you and I get up to your door," she pauses sniffling, "Rachel answers the door." What? Did she just say Rachel? She wipes her face again, "What are you talking about Becca, nobody should be up there except my mom." I say looking from her pain ridden face to my apartment door as if I could see through it.

I look at Becca and I don't think I've ever seen her cry so much, "Becks you have to trust me on this." I touch her arm and she pushes me off, "How am I supposed to do that?" I'm taken back and she takes advantage of it, "I'm so fucking stupid." She forces a laugh, "You even got her flowers!" She points at the bouquet, "No!" I say and she begins crying all over again.

I walk back to my open door and turn off the car and grab the flowers, "She'll really love them asshole." I sigh, she's hurt and I seem to be the punching bag. "You want me to show you?" She pushes me again, "Let's go take a peek shall we?" She shoots me a glare and marches towards the house. I take off after her and she opens the door before I can get to it.

She walks in and points to Rachel sitting down at the table. I walk in and put the flowers on the kitchen counter, "So what do you call this?" She says slamming the door closed. I wince at the sound of the door, "Calm down Rebecca." I say and Rachel is eye raping me, "What are you doing here?" I look at Rachel.

Her short brown hair stops at her shoulders and her frame is slim, "Waiting for you to get home?" She says rolling her eyes, "Bullshit." I slam my keys onto the counter, "Why is that so hard to believe sweetie." Her green eyes are filled with jealousy, "Get out." I say sternly and Becca clasps her hands together, "What do you take me as?" She says making me look at her, "A fool?" She spits.

I've never seen her so mad and hurt, "Rachel get out, now." I say walking to the door and opening it, "Call me." She says walking past Becca. Becca lets out another fake laugh, "Not a chance." I say closing the door behind her. Rebecca comes towards me, "Move." She says and I lean against the door.

She looks at me with her red eyes, "No." Her jaw clenches and I walk towards her with my hands in my pockets, "We need to talk." I says and she pushes against me as I get closer, "You're fucking Rachel that's all there is to it." She hisses, "Excuse me?" I say and she takes a step back for every one I take forward, "I'm not fucking anybody." She rolls her eyes and it's like the heat just kicked on in the apartment.

"You and I that's it baby, there ain't anybody else." I say and she stops abruptly due to the wall behind her. Her wide brown eyes turn up at me, "Then what's the flowers for?" She presses her hand to my chest. "Last night." I say taking my hands from my pockets, "I screwed up and I wanted to do something nice for you." She sniffles looking away from my face, "Becks." I hold her face in my hands.

I tilt her face up to look at me, "I didn't mean to hurt you in any way, I know you were crying last night." She closes her eyes and her hands fall to her sides, "Let me make it up to you." She sighs, "Andre." Before she can speak I press my lips to hers and she immediately grabs my waist. Her plump lips send a surge of electricity through my entire body. She makes me do stupid things and things I'd never dreamed of.

Her hands peel my own from her face and she wraps her arms around my neck pulling my body onto hers. Her nails weave their way into my hair and I grab the backs of her thighs picking her up. Her legs lazily wrap around my waist and she breaks away for a moment just to reattach herself to me.

My feet move around the apartment and she breaks away, "Wait." I stop and she grabs the bouquet. I catch a small smile and then she kisses my neck. Make up sex, shit I love it. I sit Becca down on the raised bed and take the flowers from her and sit them on the nightstand. There's two soft thuds as she kicks off her shoes, "Come here." She says sitting on her knees at the edge of the bed.

Her hands grab the back of my neck, her soft lips stay on mine once again. My hands grip her waist keeping her steady. She takes a break and pulls off her hoodie and tosses it behind her. Her soft laugh greets my ears and I take off my shirt. I slips out of my shoes and lay her down on the bed, "God you're so fucking hot." She says grabbing my body hungrily.
