TW - mentions of self harm (biting) and some strong emotions
That night you decided to sleep in the guest bedroom, the room Flip had initially put you in when you first began staying in his house.
You felt scared. And you couldn't bring yourself to talk about it. The events of the competition were still weighing heavy on your mind. Had you let him off too soon?
After the two of you had sat on the sofa together and you had asked him not to leave, you almost regretted it. At the end of the day, Flip had let another girl kiss him and you forgave him straight away... you had apologised and that didn't sit right with you. Maybe Andrew had affected you more than you had thought and now you subconsciously always wanted to please people.
That night as you lay in bed your mind was spiralling, and you couldn't help the doubt that had filled your head.
Eventually you were able to fall asleep, with the weight of the world weighing on your mind.

Flip wasn't happy. But he couldn't blame you. He wanted nothing more than to hold you in his arms but he couldn't be selfish. He had hurt you and you needed time on your own.
He felt terrible and with his anxiousness he wasn't able to explain things properly, and he knew seducing you was the wrong way to go about it... but he was scared. He knew he had hurt you, and that was his worst nightmare.
He got out of bed in the middle of the night he stood on his balcony with disheveled hair and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. As he inhaled the smoke he was reminded of the first time he met you. Ever since then he mind was stuck on you. You had managed to worm your way into his head and you hadn't left yet, he didn't want you too.
After putting out his cigarettes, Flip made his way through the house towards his guest room and quietly peered his head around the open door, a habit and a fear of yours after Landers kept you locked in the apartment- you hate sleeping with a closed door.
His watched you sleep quietly, eyes focused on the calmness of your face and the tear stains of your cheeks.
He had hurt you, and he had never been so ashamed of himself.

The next morning had been awkward, you didn't want to go anywhere near Flip - as much as you craved his touch and the comfort he gave you- you had to make him realise he was in the wrong.
You hadn't spoke to him as you made breakfast and coffee for yourself and sat at the kitchen island in silence.
"Are you okay Birdie?" Flip had asked you in a small but you kept up your cold facade.
