VINCES POV:

My breath is taken away as soon as Skyla opens the door. I know she notices the way I look her up and down but she doesn't say anything at all just starts nibbling on her bottom lip.

I can't help but smile when I notice her slippers, "Cute slippers."

She immediately looks down then locks her eyes with me. Her cheeks are flushed and she has concern written all over her face. I've caught her off guard but I couldn't care less. I woke up early because I couldn't sleep and I couldn't sleep because I was so excited to see her today. We got in late last night and I immediately wanted to go see her then but I knew it was way too soon to do that.

"I didn't have time to shower, I have this routine where I wake up and go shower straight away before looking at my phone but I was woken up by all these notifications about you and I because you commented on my post from last night and then Scar came in to talk to me and then you showed up and..."

I gently grabbed her arms that were waving around as she spoke and held them by her sides, "Take a breath for me Wren," I watched as she took a quick deep breath, "It's good to see you. Sorry I'm here so early I just really wanted to see you."

She smiled and it made me weak at the knees, "Really?"

"I'm here aren't I?" She nodded, "These are for you."

She looked down at the flowers, "They are beautiful, Thankyou."

"Just like you," I smiled and then cursed myself in my head. I was being so corny it was sickening but she done something to me.

She was looking deep into my eyes as she leaned gentle on the doorframe, I stepped even closer to her looking down at her. I couldn't help but reach out my hand to cradle the side of her face and drag my finger over her bottom lip, "I'm going to kiss you. Is that okay?"

Skyla smiled shyly and nodded. I slowly leant down to her lips, she met me halfway. The kiss was gentle at first and then deepened. Before things got too out of hand for the world to see I pulled back, immediately regretted my decisions and missing the taste of...Cherry lip balm? Seriously Wren. This girl.

"Did you want to come inside while I change? We can get coffee?" She asked, I nodded.

Skyla stepped aside to let me in, she locked the door behind us then led me to a staircase that leaded up to what I assumed was a loft apartment that she lived in. Getting to follow Wren as she walked up stairs in front of me was one of my highlights of the morning. The number one being our kiss but this. Seeing her ass like that was certainly up there.

"You staring at my ass Vince?"

I couldn't help but chuckle, she could read me without even looking at me, "Can't blame me ducky. You have a nice ass."

Once we got to the top of the steps we were greeted by who I assumed was Skyla's roommate and boss, she smiled widely and held out her hand, "Hi! I'm Scarlett. Big fan. Be thankful for that otherwise you never would have had a chance to meet this lovely lady."

I smiled and shook her hand, peering down to see Skyla's reaction. She was smiling faintly.

"I think I have you to thank for a lot."

Sky looked up at me, "I won't be long," she turned to Scarlett, "Please don't be too...You."

Scarlett scoffed and pushed her friend towards what I assumed was Skyla's bedroom, "Don't be silly."

Once the bedroom door shut Scarlett looked at me with a straight face and pointed towards the small kitchen, "Coffee?"

"No thanks, we will get one after. But Thankyou."

She walked towards the kettle, me following after her and turned to me, "So what's the deal? Is she just another girl or?"

I smiled, I respected Scarlett for protecting her friend. For protecting Sky. It seemed that she needed someone in her life that would do that. And I was going to do that too.

"She's not just another girl. Look we haven't known each other for long and it seems she's been through a lot. She's also not from here so I don't know what that means but I'm willing to see where this goes if she wants that. She's leading the way on this. But trust me I'm not going to hurt her. Intentionally anyway. I'll make mistakes because all people do and what I do for work doesn't make my life easy and that's half the reason why I've never done this with anyone else. Not for a long time anyway. But she's different and I'm willing to dive in and give this my all."

Scarlett's face went from serious to understanding. She nodded with a smile, "Good. I don't want to see her hurt and I don't want her to feel like she has to escape again. She doesn't deserve that."

I let those words soak in. Escape? Man I wanted to know the real reasons as to why Sky took that trip. But in due time.

Before I could say anything else we both turned our head once we heard a door creak open, Skyla came out dressed in her usual get up of gym clothes. Which I loved because clothes like that hugged every curve of her body and it only made me want her more.

"I'll be back in an hour Scar..."

Scarlett waved her friend off, "Make it two. I'll open and get the shop all ready for you and I'll take off when you get back."

"You sure?"

Her friend came over hugging her, then she pulled back and pointed to me with a smile, "Don't rush with this one. I have a good feeling about him."

I couldn't help but smile especially when Skyla's cheeks flushed red, "Thanks Scar, be back soon," she turned to me, "Shall we?"

I stepped aside and gestured towards the stairs, "After you beautiful."
