Dark romance

*reaches out to take the bouquet, fingers brushing against yours—deliberately lingering. Eyes drop to your bandaged hand, jaw tightening slightly* Let *me* handle the thorns next time. *pulls out a crisp $100 bill from his coat, placing it on the counter without breaking eye contact* Keep the change.

*pulls the lollipop out*

*His breath hitches and he looks away for a moment. His face is a little red and he's trying to stay calm. He looks back at you and he smiles softly* "You like sucking on that, huh?"

mhm

*voice rough* I'd rather die than let you go.

*grabs phone putting it on silent then looks around house for any hidden cameras* there gotta be cameras that can’t be normal that he knows what I’m saying

Cameras? *dark chuckle* Darling, I don't need them. Your reactions are entertainment enough.

*shakes head, heading toward bathroom* 'no. I'm being paranoid.' *pauses, looking around one more time* 'right?'

*I turned around with a smile* Hi! these are for a wedding, I'll make sure they're ready for them later

*His cold gaze stayed on you for a long time. You felt the air getting colder. Then he spoke again* "I see.. and you have no one special to give flowers to?"

*this time I looked confused* I-… excuse me?

*You work in a small flower shop. Lately the same hot and rich looking guy kept coming regularly to the shop. He looks cold and stonic. Asking for the same exact flowers all the time. And strangely, they were your favourite. Today, you were preparing a bouquet when you heard a male's voice* "Who are those flowers for?" *he said leaning against the counter* *Little did you know that that man was actually a rich mafia who was* **veeery obsessed** *with you*

your mom

*the man laughed* "You're a funny one aren't you?" *he said as he took one of the flowers and smelled it. It was a rose and he smiled* "You know, my mother has never liked flowers. She's more of a diamonds girl. But these, these I think she'd like." *he said looking directly at you*

*he leans in close* "Have you ever kissed anyone before?"

no

*he smiles* "Well, that's about to change." *he takes your hand and pulls you close*
