The last few weeks have felt like a whirlwind in the best possible way. Andrew and I have spent most of our free time together, at either his house, or mine. He’s helped me deliver arrangements, clip flower stems, and even seemed curious about putting together a bouquet. I let him create his own bouquet for his mom. Her birthday is this weekend, and he wanted to do something nice for her. We spent time in his shop while I watched him work on various projects, snuggling with Travis on the couch. His grandpa stopped by a few times while I was there as well, and we watched Andrew work while we talked. He told me all the embarrassing stories I could ever want about Andrew, all while watching his face turn a bright cherry red as he worked, trying to ignore my hushed laughs. Earl really is a sweet gentleman.

Tomorrow I have another wedding on the books. After a handful of meetings and phone calls with the bride, we settled on the arrangements and florals she wanted. She’s extremely laid back, making this whole process easy on me. I’m sure I’ll have brides in the future that have me rethinking my career choices, but for now, I’ve been lucky.

Once the date was ironed out and official, I started placing orders and arranging my schedule to accommodate. While I tried to tell Andrew he didn’t need to be my assistant, he insisted. He’s currently making sure all my vases are accounted for and in the back of my car. I’m getting the bridesmaids bouquets finished up and in the fridge for the night when he walks back in, Travis following behind.

Travis has been coming over a lot too, and he and Velma tolerate each other surprisingly well. Travis runs to my side, sitting on his hind legs, giving me the cutest puppy dog eyes.

“Aww, do you want some pets?” I bend down, snuggling up to him. His tail wags furiously against the concrete floor of the garage, and Andrew chuckles.

“I’m pretty sure he likes you more than me, petals.”

“Nah, I’m just someone new, that’s all.”

“You’re not new, not anymore,” his voice is tight with conviction.

I shrug, standing up and wiping my hands on the front of my jeans. I suppose it has been a couple months now. “I have to finish a few more things, and then I think I’m ready for tomorrow. You can head out if you need,” I say, silently hoping he wants to stay. We haven’t spent the night together since the night of our first date, when we fell asleep in his shop. He’s proved his point of wanting me for more than sex, and the aching need for him grows every second I spend in his presence.

“I was thinking,” he slowly responds, stepping up to press his front against my back, wrapping arms around me. The heat of his body is burning a fire of desire through my icy, pained, veins. “We could watch
