Klay didn’t show up for two days after I told him to give me time the next morning after we spent the night together. My apartment was at peace during the weekend and Pierce didn’t insist on seeing me and talking to me. Somehow, I felt at ease. But I also know they’re just trying to give me some space. I know them too well. They are persistent. They won’t stop showing me what’s on their head.
“Ma’am, our orders have piled up today. Even though it’s keeping us busy, this is good news.”
I smiled at Yara, my assistant. She’s sitting on a chair with me while we’re arranging flowers. The other employees are on the other table doing the same.
Yara’s right. We’ve become busy since this morning and I’m thankful because it made me occupied.
“Miss Kelly.”
I lifted my chin when one of my employees approached me carrying a bouquet of red roses. It was the bouquet she arranged a while ago.
“Yes?”
“One of our clients called and told me to give these to you, Miss Kelly.”
My lips parted and I felt my heart racing. Red roses from a client? I couldn’t help but to think of Klay. He’s the only one who would do this.
“Oh my God!” Yara gasped and cupped her mouth. “You have a suitor?”
I felt my cheeks heated because of what Yara said. Is he really courting me?
I smiled awkwardly and accepted the bouquet from one of my employees. Yara giggled and moved a little closer.
“Say, is he your suitor or he’s already your boyfriend?”
Shaking my head, I pulled my chair away from Yara. “What are you talking about?”
“Come on, ma’am! I know you’re my boss but I’m intrigued. Oh well! It’s not shocking anyway. You’re very pretty and smart. Men will line up just to court you.”
Line up? I couldn’t believe I’d hear someone ever say that. When I was studying, I gave up on dating other men because my eyes were focused on Pierce. I disregard everything except for him and that’s my mistake. I let my world revolve around him that I forgot about myself.
I couldn’t answer Yara. She’s very talkative but I admit, she’s fun to be with.
“How many boyfriends did you have, ma’am? I bet you had many boyfriends. You’re just so gorgeous and I can’t help but to be curious about your love life.”

“Yara, continue what you’re doing.”
She smirked playfully. “Answer me first. How ‘bout sex? You know having an active sex life is really fun. Women should be active about it to know about their real desire and preferences in men.”
Her words made my cheeks burn. I pushed her chair away, feeling so uneasy as I remembered the night I slept with Klay and all those nights I spent with Pierce when we’re still together.
I bit my bottom lip as my thoughts fled to the darkest part of my mind. I couldn’t help but compare Pierce and Klay when it comes to bed. They’re both excellent in bed. They both have an amusing performance that brought me to the heavenly pit of desire. Pierce was always gentle while Klay is obviously a bit dominant. He likes to dominate and he’s kinda touchy. Although Pierce was touchy too.
My toes curled inside my shoes as I felt the uncontrollable desire ignite inside me again as I remembered every kiss, every touch that Klay landed on my body. His desire was so much that I feel like I couldn’t satiate him in any way. However, he can satisfy me even with just his fingers and lips.
My eyes widened in realization. Did I just fantasize about Klay under the bright sunny day? Oh, shit!
It was so embarrassing to think. I continued arranging the bouquet while Yara continued talking about sex and other things about having a boyfriend. She even said having one is fun because you’ll have someone to warm your bed and someone you can brag to your highschool friends.
Her words were embarrassing but I couldn’t deny that I’m enjoying her company.
The following days are as busy as the first days. As usual, Klay bought a bouquet from my own flower shop to give it to me and he’s using my employees to do that. Sometimes, the bouquet will be sent to me with some things like a teddy bear, chocolate, snacks or lunch. He’s been doing that every single day. Without fail, and I’m starting to get used to it.
I was staring at the music box that Klay gave to me on the fifth day while sitting. He never fails to surprise me everyday and I like it. Pierce and Klay are really different. Pierce likes to pamper me through his attention. He’s touchy, especially when he misses me. While Klay loves pampering me through material things. Comparing them wasn’t my intention, but because of what Yara implanted in my mind, I kept on comparing them for the past few days.
“And look at that beautiful smile.”
I jumped in shock when Yara appeared beside me and looked at my face. I immediately looked away. I didn’t even realize I’m smiling the whole time while staring at the cute music box.
“Sooo,” Yara trailed and smirked. “I wonder what you will get next week? Ah! It’s a waste that tomorrow is the weekend. Let’s open the shop tomorrow, Ma’am.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at what she said. “Stop it, Yara.”
She giggled. “Just start dating him and make your lonely nights into an exciting and burning one. I’d love to give you advice when it comes to sex positions and how to please a man, ma’am.”
“Yara!” I growled at her but I couldn’t stop my laughs as I covered my burning cheeks.
We were laughing like crazy when the door chime suddenly interrupted us. Someone entered and when I 2/3

lifted my face to look at the newcomer, my heart instantly raced.

Looking so dashing with his business suit, Klay entered with a kinda messy hair and serious face. I heard Yara cursed slowly beside me as she slowly lifted her up from the chair.
She immediately ran to greet Klay without even realizing that the handsome man’s shameless eyes were on
“Good afternoon, sir. We’re closing soon, but we can assist you.”
Yara doesn’t know him because I hired her when Klay started not showing up.
“I’d like a date with your boss. Could you tell her that for me?” Klay said without taking his eyes off of me and that’s when Yara realized who he is.
Oh, shit!
