Chapter 4: Chapter 4
Iris' POV
What a night! I'm never doing that again.
"Heyy where did you go last night? You weren't in your room", Adam asks me when I walk in. I can't tell him the truth. But he knows when I'm lying
"Umm spent the night at a guy's place", technically that is true.
"You?! Iris?! My little girl is all grown up", he's being dramatic now. I just roll my eyes.
Now I have to pretend what happened last night DID NOT happen. I wonder who that man is
Smoke's POV
Gahhh I can still smell her on my bed. The smell of shampoo and and....
Snap out of it! You're acting like you've never seen a girl before.
Luckily I have no mission today so I have time to think. Was letting her go a good idea?
Why is everything about her now? I can't focus . I need to get some fresh air
Somehow, that "fresh air" excuse led me straight to her apartment. I'm staring at her window. It's a Saturday so I wonder what she's up to. And just like that, she appears.
I see her rushing to her bicycle, she seems to be late for something. And off she goes.
I follow her subtly.
She arrives at a flower shop, ohh she works there. That's very fitting of her. I observe her for a few minutes before I walk in "coincidentally".
"Hello". She seems to be busy arranging some stuffs at the back
"I'll be right with you sir". Then she comes to the counter. "How may I help-", I see the blood drain from her face. Sheesh I'm not that scary.
"Oh yes I would like purchase a single flower, which would you recommend?", I say smiling at her.
"Umm I ummm".
"Those aren't words love, now please do recommend"
"Uh yes sir. It all depends on the person you're getting it for sir", she's trying to sound brave but I can hear the crack in her voice
"Hmmm you're right. I want a white rose then".
"Yes sir", and I see her hurry back to get one
She's wearing a simple outfit yet she looks so good. Her hair packed up in a messy bun, her glasses almost falling off her face, her brown eyes looking brighter in the sunlight.
Her long legs walking in a hurry, oh wait I'd do to have them over my shoulders and-
SNAP OUT OF IT. She's making me go insane.
"Here you go sir, would you like anything else?". She said handing me a single white rose all prettily wrapped up.
"That will be all thank you", I say with a smile, because I can't help it. I look one last time before leaving.
How'd I end up back in her room? Oh well.
Might as well snoop around while she's not here. Her room is pretty girly. Blue and white themed. Her bed smelling heavenly. I forgot what I came here for
Oh yeah to drop the rose. I place the rose gently on her bed.
I'm about to leave when a noticed a decorated notebook. Ohhh her journal
I couldn't he'll myself, I read through a page
"Adam is at it again, doesn't he know the walls are too thin. Every single night he has someone new. I mean sex can't be that goof. I wonder who my first time will be with. Heck I wonder who my first kiss will be with".
She's not even had her first kiss?
Why am I smiling right now?
The idea of someone else tasting her doesn't sit right with me at all. And she's not even mine. I don't even know her name.
It'll all work out in the end. And I must have her. With that thought, I leave her room.
Leaving the rose and journal behind.
