What was I supposed to say to that? How am I supposed to promise that if she falls in love with me that ill be there?

The was a silence between us, not awkward or weird it was just quiet. Like both of us new that that's what it needed to be had to be

Just quiet for a fee seconds

"Your doing something to me little flower, something I can't explain and something that I don't know.... I want to be there to catch you, I do. But when I catch you, there's parts of me that are ugly and cruel. I'm angry and grumpy all..."

She put a hand over my blabbering mouth, thankfully she new that I had to shut up
"I know that your angry and cold and grumpy. I know there are bad parts of you. I have bad parts too. I have troubles even talk to men sometimes, as you know"she started

"When I first saw you you terrified me. The same question always goes through my head to as if there all the same."her words came out like smoke from a fire inside her , that was scratching her insides , and I don't know stuff about her that probably make her want to cut herself too. That I don't know , all the dark parts of her.

She took a deep breath in "if you can tell me that your a cruel monster , that your cold and that you believe your heartless..."

"That your that much of a terrible person that when I fall for you, that you would start hitting or beating me up. Say now, but I don't think your that type of man."she said starting to son lightly.

"Do you think that your like Thomas? Would you raise a hand to me?"she whispered and I looked at her "I would never lay a hand on you"

"I know you wouldn't, but can you sit there and say your a monster when we both know real monsters. I can tell you that your not one of them. I want to fall for you Lucien, and I really really want you to catch me"she sobbed into my chest as I leaned back, my wrists not even hurting , my heart clench tho

From every cry that escaped her lips, from the thighs of someone laying a hand on he drives a steak through my heart. Something before her I didn't think worked

"I... I'm not a good man and I'm no saint. Your right I know monsters and so do you, and it's not fair for me to measure myself to them. Starr , before you I though that with each woman I was with each blade Mark I drew that I was helping myself."she sat up, our conveyers about everything and anything we wanted throwing in different points mixed and matched.

"I lay in my bed and just wonder what it is about you that I find innocent, pure. But now I realize it's cause your none of those things. You are a very guilty woman, changing me into something I swore I could never be"

A knock on the door interrupted us, just as I was about to place my lips on hers, her legs still straddling she quickly got off me , rushing to the door and opening it leaving me on the couch missing her heat.

"I'm sorry star I didn't know I was interrupting something!" An elderly woman smiled as she nugged starrs shoulder , causing her to blush and look at me in apologies. "No we were just ugh talking about a flower arrangement that he is ordering. Very big order"she said and I smiled leaning back, thinking in my head

"Oh am I?"she could tell by my eyes what I was humming and she gave me a scowl.

The old lady swatted her and Turned start to face her "I'm sorry, I know my visit now is unusual but I need a few flowers for a little craft I'm working on. Just some Lilly."she smiled at Starr.

"Of corse abigale , still coming in next Tuesday?"starr asked picking up a assortment of flowers, as I stood up glaring at a man who tried to open the shop, but quickly scurried away

"Oh of corse I never miss a day you know that"she half laughed half cried , tears welling in her eyes as I grew confused. Starr pulled her into a hug and I felt uncomfortable, this type of emotions weren't the best for me.

"It's ok, he in a better place , you know he loves the flowers you bring him"Starr said looking at me mouthing "her husband died".

She backed away and paid for her order, not before whispering something into starts ear earning start a horrid look.
smiling at me before walking out waving one last goodbye to Starr.

"Does everyone here love you?"I ask , knowing that it's probably true cause she is very likeable. Starr let out a humble laugh , shaking her head at my question.

Starr was one of those people that Mae you want to talk to her , open up. The way Rafiel talked about her, only wanting money it doesn't fit her personality. She doesn't even know about my business and she won't find out , not yet.

Starr was the type or woman that made you want to look at her, you'd think a woman like her would be in a magazine or dancing on a stage , but she ignores her beauty believing it's not there, and working a modest job.

"You should go, cause I'm going to lunch and you don't like the people there that much"she smiled politely and I twerked my eyebrow up

She rolled her eyes, the colour becoming my favourite colour. Her sassy little ass walked past me , and towards the restaurant across the way. I watched her as she walked inside getting greeted with smiles from the staff , before being set down at a table, an outside table, the Same one from a almost a well ago.

Strange how much has grown between us.

I followed after her, as a group of male waiters surrounded her table. For a girl who likes a quiet life she sure gets a lot of attention.

I Pushed past people on the street, and walked inside , waitresses covering away and scurrying into the kitchen. "B..boss what a nice surprise"the owner said walking in front of me as I was trying to reach the woman sitting alone, a menu in her hand while her legs were crossed.

"I don't give a shit about your restaurant, the girl I There I care about. She likes this place so as long as she keeps coming here this stays open. She is to revive free meals. Got it?"I said and the man lit up a smile On his face , his head nodding as I pushed past him and towards the woman.

She looked up at me , a smile crossing her face happy that I had followed her.

"That was nice of you to let him keep the restaurant. But I can pay my meals"she said , taking a sip Of the water I front of her , licking away any that was left on her lips

"To late"I said serious but the only thing I could think about is that I wanted her.
