"When you're black and white there's no use hiding in a field of colours," his umber eyes so solemn, "Anthony T. Hincks."
But when Cillian looked at Oliver, he couldn't help but disagree, because to Cillian, Oliver was all the colours of the spectrum merged into one and then at screaming splendour and refulgence, "You're the brightest thing in this whole darn shop."
At that, Oliver's eyes literally bloomed, the colour of earth freshly kissed by spring rains, a hue that promised to stir the life from dormant seeds, like all the fluorescent verdure around him actually lived within. And it took Cillian's breath away. And in that moment Cillian realised, he did have a favourite flower after all.

Eventually, his shoes stepped in front of mine, so close that his pointed brown toecap nearly touched the scuffed toes of my old vans. Old and new, coming together as if time and wear had never mattered at all. Perhaps if I stared at his shoes long enough, I could forget that his face was there at all and I would never have to say a word to him. I would never even have to look him in the eye. He would never look into mine and read right away that I hated him more than I had ever hated anyone else, but also that I loved him more than I had ever loved too. And that such a love made me willing to let go of all of my hatred, my resentment, for just a small dose of what I'd had before. If I could pour Oliver into a needle and shoot him straight into my veins, letting my eyes roll back into my head and reality slip away from me, laying in a delicious delusion, I would never want for a single other thing. *** Twenty years after their first encounter, Elio is learning to accept that he and Oliver will never be together. Now living in Dresden, teaching music, and in a relationship with someone new, his time with Oliver feels a world away. Except, it's not. Oliver comes crashing back into his life and Elio realises that he can never truly move on from the Summer in Northern Italy. So, he decides that, if he can't move on, then neither should Oliver.Complete![Petals [gxg]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/376399833-256-k957351.jpg)
Petals [gxg]
Felicity 'Fliss' Farrah Fields embraced life. Truly, dearly loved life, but she loved her little florist shop, 'Petals', more than anything. Passed on to her when her parents retired, 'Petals' is everything Fliss could want from life. Except, perhaps, finding love. Finding women to sleep with, those wonderful ''Ms Right Now"'s, was remarkably easy. Finding that one, elusive, forever love was a little harder. Introduced to a new dating app, 'WaitDate', Fliss chooses temporary celibacy and enters into an anonymous relationship that has all the markings of something promising, but, coincidentally, she also meets Mia, a funny, vivacious girl Fliss chooses to remain only friends with, and the incredibly beautiful, billionaire corporate shark, Henrietta 'Harry' Marsh, who seems intent on stealing 'Petals' out from under Fliss. 'Petals' follows Fliss' attempts to remain frustratingly celibate in the face of so many gorgeous women and her fight to keep hold of something more important. Her little shop. And she wonders which, if any, of the girls she meets can become her forever love.Complete

"You're annoying. You're a nuisance. How could I ever be obsessed with you?" I asked. Philip's hand began to run up my thigh. "It seems like you're hiding your true feelings, your highness."

You're a ball of stress that needs to be relieved. I know some ways I can help." He said. His tongue licked my neck, making me shiver upon his touch.
