Kelly’s POVThe morning was calm and bright. I was arranging some bouquets when the door chime created a soft noise and someone entered the shop. I prepared a sweet smile and was about to greet our first customer for the day when I realized who it was.Wearing a black tshirt, faded jeans, black rubber shoes and an exposed necklace with a thick chain and anchor as the pendant, Klay entered with a straight face. He was already walking towards my way.He looked so handsome in his casual attire. I even saw a woman enter the shop after him, looking at him shamelessly, pretending to be interested in flowers.I felt awkward around him because of our argument but I gave him a welcoming smile, “Good morning. Are you looking for a particular flower?”He stopped a meter away from me and roamed his eyes around. My lips parted as I realized he’s too tall and the level of my eyesight just reached his neck.“What flower symbolizes a sincere apology?”An apology? He must’ve upset Emily and he’s tryin
Kelly’s POVI was standing in front of the full length mirror while looking at myself when Klay knocked on my bedroom. I gave him my address to pick me up for the charity gala tonight.When he entered, our gazes met through the mirror. I smiled at him as he looked at me with his usual serious face. I’m wearing a black gown and although my baby bump is now obvious, I could still proudly say that the shape of my body is perfect for the dress.Klay slowly walked towards me and stopped behind me. For some reason, I found myself unable to take my eyes off of him through the mirror. He’s wearing a black suit while his hair is waxed and brushed backwards. He looked so dashing and I can’t help but to silently praise his looks.Without saying anything, Klay put a beautiful necklace on my neck. The elegance of the necklace complimented my dress perfectly. My hair that was curled to the tips reached my waist as the color of my skin stood out from the color of my dress.“You look perfect,” Klay w
Kelly’s POV“PIERCE!” I shouted when Pierce grabbed Klay and punched him on the face. His eyes were sharp and burning as he tried to attack Klay again but I blocked his way, spreading my arms as I protected Klay.Pierce looked at me with painful eyes as he shook his head, “I’m sorry, Kelly. I was forced to say those words…”“Why are you here?” I asked instead of paying attention to what he’s saying.He swallowed hard, “Kelly, I want you back.”“Are you stupid?” Klay punched this time and I couldn’t stop them anymore as they started exchanging punches.Klay knows boxing and I’m worried that he might send Pierce to the hospital but I was shocked after realizing that Pierce can fight too. Since when did he learn to fight?“You want her back? *sshole! You lost your chance!”“She’s mine, Carver! She’s originally mine! She belongs to me and not to some devil like you!”“STOP IT! STOP FIGHTING!” I shouted but they wouldn't stop.I swallowed hard and looked around. That’s when I saw Klay’s ri
Kelly’s POVI kept on swallowing hard, feeling the discomfort between my legs. Under the thick sheet of blanket, I’m only wearing a large black shirt owned by the man laying behind me. His arm was resting on my waist and his warmth wasn't helping with my messy thoughts.I’ve been awake for almost twenty minutes now but I still can’t process what happened.I feel so ashamed of what happened. I slept with Klay. I had s*x with my step brother and this is making me so crazy. Yes, we’re not related by blood but the fact that his late mother was once married to my father, I couldn’t help but feel stupid.I need to get up. Yes!I was about to pull myself up when Klay’s arm around my waist tightened. My eyes widened after realizing that he’s now awake.“Where are you going?” He asked with a hoarse, bedroom voice.My lips parted, the same time I felt my heart skip a beat. It’s confirmed. I have feelings for him and what happened between us last night intensified those hidden feelings.I flinch
Klay’s POVI’m sitting on the dining chair while roaming around the kitchen. This apartment is small but suitable for someone who’s single. There’s two bedrooms and I supposed Ana was the one using the other bedroom. I know Kelly brought her when she moved out.While I was waiting for Kelly, I remembered everything that happened last night. She gave herself to me and even when it’s out of impulsiveness, I can feel that she didn’t regret anything. She willingly gave herself to me and I couldn’t help but to feel so happy and proud.The woman I’m interested in seemed to be interested too. What’s more amusing than that? I couldn't be happier that I prepared our breakfast. I cooked it myself even when Ana tried to stop me.“Sir, do you want coffee?”I shook my head while looking at the food on the small dining table, “I’ll wait for Kelly.”“Should I call her now, sir?”Ana seemed afraid of seeing me angry. I couldn’t blame her. She knows that I become evil when angry but today is different
Kelly’s POVKlay 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 a
Kelly’s POVYara kept on looking at me and Klay alternatively. Her lips were curved into a playful smirk and her eyes were judging and teasing me. I feel like I’m about to pass out in embarrassment so I walked towards Klay and grabbed his wrist. Without saying anything, I dragged him to my office and locked the door. My heart was racing and I felt like I ran a mile because of what happened.My employees will surely tease me because of Klay. Why did he even announce that he wants to date me? Argh!I looked at Klay in disbelief when I heard his soft chuckle.“What?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I faced him.He smirked, “Why did you lock the door? They’ll think we’re gonna make you—”I covered his mouth with my palm and frowned. I was about to ask why he came here when he suddenly took a single step closer, caging me between his body and the locked door. I swallowed hard and was about to escape when he pressed both of palms against the door as his face leaned down and closer.“W-What a
Kelly’s POVI kept on shaking my head while walking away from my office. Did I just agree to make him my suitor? Did I just give him permission to court me?I paused and palmed my cheeks. Oh my God! What should I do? I can’t go back and take it back, he won’t let me.Biting my bottom lip, I pressed my cheeks and groaned. What if he hurt me too? What if I made the wrong decision? Just thinking about it makes me so worried. I don’t know why he suddenly confessed that he’s in love with me. I don’t know since when he started liking me but I must admit that it’s affecting me so much and this is not a good thing, especially if he’s not sincere. However, his eyes were showing me his sincerity.God! I don’t know what to do anymore.“I smell something…” Yara, who met me halfway, grinned suspiciously.I felt my cheeks heated as I shook my head, “Nothing happened, Yara.”“Oh!” She gasped. “I didn’t say anything, ma’am.”I frowned at her, “You wanna get fired?”She moved her forefinger side to si
