1 Month Later

It was around 6pm and as a long day of work was coming to an end, Bella was relieved to start closing her flower shop, Belle’s Smells Floral Shoppe. She grabbed a spray bottle and began giving the flowers their last sprits of water before the next morning. After a few minutes, she heard the door open, the bells jingling as the door closed. Bella set down the spray bottle on one of the plant shelves and began to waddle to the front of the store. The man who had come in had his to her as he gazed at the stuffed animal rack.

“Excuse me,” Bella instructed, “but we’re closed sir. I’m sorry.”

“I know that,” the man said, his voice strangely familiar. When he turned around, Bella knew why; the man was Mark. He looked terrible; his always perfect hair in a mess and his face not shaven. He had bags under his eyes accompanied by dark circles.

 “What are you doing here?” Bella rolled her eyes and walked behind the counter. She secretly felt bad for him, but she wasn’t going to say anything. “I already told you every day of this week and last week…I’m not coming home with you.”

“No, I know,” Mark nodded, his hopeful expression disappearing. “I just brought you something from my mom.”

“Oh? You told her we’re not living together?” Bella asked.

“No. I just told her that we’re having a girl,” Mark explained as he pulled a beautiful knitted pink blanket out from behind his back. “So, she made this for the baby.” Bella’s face lit up.

“It’s beautiful,” she exclaimed, taking it in her hands. She looked up at smiled. “Thank you,” she whispered.

Mark nodded, “You’re welcome.” After a few moments of silence, Mark said, “Well, I guess I’ll be going.” He took his hand in hers and looked deep into her eyes. “I really miss you Bella.” He sighed and turned to walk away. He was almost to the door when Bella shrieked, “Wait!”

Mark turned and looked over at her, his expression sad. “I’ll come home. But, you have to help me clean up here first.”

Mark nodded in agreement, his face lighting up with happiness. Then, his face became puzzled.

“What about your things?” he asked, walking behind the counter.

“I’ve been staying here at the shop in the back office. Seeing Danielle and Derek happy only made me sad,” she laughed. “I guess the green monster of jealousy came out.”

Mark listened and then asked, “What do you need me to do?” Bella pointed to the large plastic sacks of potting soil lying in the corner.

“Move those, there,” she pointed to another part of the room. Mark nodded and got straight to work as Bella typed orders up on the computer. After a while, she heard Mark yell, “Hey Bella! Come out here a sec.”

Bella stood and exited her office, looking around but she didn’t see Mark anywhere. “Where are you?” she asked.

“Right here!” she heard him yell as a clod of dirt hit her back. Mark chuckled and threw another clod as she turned around. Bella was laughing and began throwing dirt back at him. They got so close together and when Bella tripped, she fell right into his arms.

“Oh gosh,” she said, blushing and biting her lip. “I’m sorry.” She looked up at him, her eyes full of lust. Seeing his feelings reflected in her eyes, Mark kissed her passionately on the lips. Bella returned the kiss eagerly as Mark’s hands found their way to the waist band of her sweatpants. He lifted her by her bottom and wrapped her legs around his waist, backing her body into a wall so they were as close as they could be. Mark quickly undid his belt and jeans and shoved himself inside of her. Bella let out a soft moan as he entered her and they moved fast together, their passion exceeding what ever had before. As they climaxed together, Bella knew he was the one. They kissed one last time before her feet found the floor.

“Wow,” Bella laughed. “I didn’t realize how much I missed that.”

“Me neither,” Mark agreed. Bella led him into her office where they made love into the hours of the night on the air mattress. At the end of their last session of love making, Bella drifted off to sleep. Mark propped himself up on his elbow and looked at her.

“Bella?” he asked.

“Hmm?” she said in her sleep.

“I love you,” Mark confessed.

Bella smiled and that’s when he knew. He took her in his arms and drifted into dreamland right along with her.
