Be still my heart.

Travis has never done anything like this and honestly, I am so grateful that he has.

Guilt consumes me whole as I step closer, I shouldn’t have slept with Edward, but things just kind of… happened? Little by little I close in on the ajar bedroom door where I see rose petals sprinkled on the ground.

I hear a groan come from the room and I stand a little taller. Pushing the door, my stomach falls and my heart follows.

There Travis is, riding a girl with dark brown hair and long legs that are wrapped around his back.

They don’t even know I am here.

I clap loudly, which has Travis pulling back and tuggingourbedsheets up with him.

“And there was me thinking this was all for me,” I half laugh, half choke.

His eyes are wide, his mouth opening and shutting like a fucking fish.

“How foolish of me,” I drop my head and ignore the searing pain that scorches through my heart.

“Flora…” he begins and I hold my hand up, shaking my head from side to side.

“Don’t waste your breath,” I smirk, “I’m out.” I twist on my heel and walk for the door, the sound of his bare feet slapping against the tiled floor following me.

“Flora, please,” he reaches for me but I shove him back.

“Don’t touch me,” I give him a look of pure disgust. “You wanted to get caught, why the fuck would you bring her here?”

“Edward told me you were staying late tonight.”

I blink at him, realisation settling into my chest.

“What?” I whisper.

“Said he needed you to stay over.” I shake my head slowly. “I didn’t expect you home,” and I see the shame slapped across his face.

“The working late… was that ever a thing?” Travis looks away from me, a heavy sigh escaping.

“Only the last week… but before that…”

He wanted me to catch him.

“Before that, you were just lying so you could fuck another woman. You asshole,” I step towards him and slap his cheek, the air whooshes past his lips.

“I’m sorry, Flora.”

“Go choke on your own dick,” I turn and yank my front door open and storm down the hallway towards the lift. “OH!” I shout out as I turn to face Travis once more, “I fucked Edward today.” I see the way my words hurl towards him like bullets, sinking into his skin.

And that’s when I walk away, but it’s not until I am in the lift that the tears fall down my face.

CHAPTER SIX

EDWARD

Cradling a brandy,I am on countdown until the morning. The hours once she leaves seem to pass by so slowly.

I was hooked on her.

Sickening really.
