She nods shyly, but follows it up with a beautiful smile.

Laying back, I take her hand in mine. “What do I do when I pick you up?” I muse.

“What do you mean?”

“Usually a guy brings flowers to his date. What do you bring the woman who owns a florist?”

“Flowers,” she says.

“Really?”

“I work with them, I never receive them.”

“Okay,” I squeeze her hand. “Know any good florists.”

Sylvie laughs and I pull her into me, holding her close.

We’re almost drifting off when there is a sharp knocking from outside. I sit up. It’s nearly ten o’clock. I’d been hoping to spend the night because cuddling up to Sylvie is nice.

Who the hell is knocking at this time of night?

Sylvie blinks out of sleep too and looks at me sitting up.

“What?” she asks rubbing her eyes.

Another knock comes. “Are you expecting someone?” I ask with a frown.

Sylvie laughs.

“What?”

“Your face.”

“Who would it be at this time?”

“Lurch.”

“Huh? Are you kidding?”

“No,” she sits up.

She takes the sheet with her, wrapping it around her ass before I get to look at it. That leaves me uncovered though and whenshe turns to speak her eyes drop down my body. She bites her lip, and that makes my dick twitch.

“Unless you want me to go knock at your neighbors house to see if they have any condoms,” I grin.

Sylvie blushes again. I move fast though, getting up and grabbing my underwear. No way in hell I’m letting her go open the back door at this time of night. She may do it all the time but not when I’m here. I tell her to get back into bed and head down the hallway to the kitchen.

And there he is, when I pull the door back, his head craned up. I swear he looks like he’s wondering who the hell I am.

The tortoise steps inside and walks across the kitchen floor. I close and lock the door, leaning back on it to watch him as he makes his way down the hall.

Following, I can’t help but laugh as he gets into a small bed by the fireplace. He doesn’t spare me another glance. I’m forgotten as not important.

One thing is for sure, hanging out with Sylvie is going to be interesting.

We have breakfast together the following morning, then I ask if it’s okay to take a quick shower. It’s a very pleasant surprise when she asks to join me. There is no funny business but there are a lot of lingering touches and kisses as we wash one another.

She has to get to work, and I need to crack on with the house so we part ways at her car.
