and definitely not this sweet, charming gorgeous man called Filipe. What will she do? She thought about coming clean and letting Flynn know about the kiss with Filipe. There, that will get rid of one on them, but the truth is, she loved Flynn. He is sweet to her, considerate and treats her well. Filipe on the other hand, oh my God. The chemistry between them is hard to ignore. She doesn’t feel anything like that with Flynn. What will she do? She grabbed the shampoo and shampooed her hair.

She finished bathing then left the shower and went to look at the mirror to see if her eyes were puffy from crying. Flynn was coming by later and she didn’t want to answer any questions about why her eyes looked like that. After looking in the mirror she decided that her eyes were nothing a few drops of eye drop won’t fix. She put the drops into her eyes, blow dried her hair and went straight to bed. Later she awakened when she felt movement on the bed next to her. She opened her eyes slightly, saw it was Flynn and went back to sleep. She did not awake until the next morning.

 

 

 

 

Chapter Thirteen

 

The next morning Morgan woke after sensing movement in the bedroom. She hardly had time to get off the bed when Flynn told her she had to because it was time to scrap down the bed. For the morning Dick, Flynn, Dick’s friend Amos, and a guy called Wade had already made some trips with boxes and other furniture to the new apartment. They just left with the stove, the refrigerator and two bookshelves so now Flynn wanted to wrap up the bedroom. He started pushing boxes into the corridor.

“Hey, can I at least shower?” Morgan asked.

“Sure, you have fifteen minutes before I come barging in.” Flynn replied playfully. “Hey babe, you were really out of it last night. You hardly budged when I got it, how come you were so tired?”

“Gosh honey, I don’t know. I came home, showered and fell into the bed, I needed to sleep I guess. I saw you come in but the sleep won. Sorry.” She pecked him on his cheek and ran towards the bathroom.

She stood in there thinking about it being her last shower in this old apartment. The little apartment was nice but she had indeed outgrown it. She was excited to move into Hibiscus Towers. She wondered what will happen when Filipe brought the Café there. Noticing she was idling, she hurriedly showered then changed her clothes in the bathroom itself and started to put all the remainder of her stuff from the bathroom into the box that was there, already labeled bathroom. She couldn’t stop thinking about the way she felt when Filipe’s lips touched hers. The feel of his chest under her palms, the feel of his tongue in her mouth. She wanted more. She stopped herself at once thinking, this is so wrong. She couldn’t choose. She saw three missed calls from Auri, one yesterday and two from this morning. She had quickly sent her a text message letting her know she needed to talk to her ASAP. Stepping out of the bathroom with the box in hand, Morgan almost slammed into Auri as she was almost at the bathroom door.

“Good morning darling.” She said, taking the box from Morgan and handing it to Flynn who was behind her.

“Hi Auri.” Morgan said hugging her tightly.

“Saurelle looked into Morgan’s eyes and mouthed, “What’s wrong?”

“Shhh,” Morgan said, glancing at the door to see where Flynn was.

“I need to unload, let’s go to the new apartment and we’ll talk there. Almost everything is already there they just have this room to empty and if we don’t hurry they may pack us in the truck with the boxes.” They both giggled.

Morgan looked around and after being satisfied that everything is under control, took up her keys, and two small bags and headed for the door. “I will sure miss this place, it was cozy.” She said to Saurelle while heading out.

“Hey, new apartment, new memories, and new life ahead, it’s all good.” Auri said in a sing song voice as she followed Morgan to the car.

“Follow me ok, we’ll be there in no time and thanks for coming to help me sort things out. Will see you there.” Morgan said to her.

“Sure honey, see you in a bit.”

They arrived at Hibiscus Towers within fifteen minutes due to some traffic. They both parked and met up at the front entrance of Tower One. They walked inside and headed towards the elevator.

“Where will Filipe be putting the Café?” Morgan asked.

“Actually in the end spot like that there but in the other building.” Morgan nodded towards the spot close to the elevator.

“Wow, cool. He’ll have an entrance close to the elevator, easy to slip in and out. His penthouse is in the other building right?”

“You know I’m not sure,” Morgan looked puzzled, “But I believe so.”

“I think it’s the same setting.” Morgan said looking at Saurelle and wondering what that mind of hers was heading up.

Saurelle is always up to something as far as Morgan is concerned so she doesn’t pay much mind to her little games. They arrived on the third floor and Morgan opened the doors. There were boxes everywhere as expected. The guys already placed the refrigerator in the allotted slot; the stove was in the living room though. They walked around making sure the boxes that were labeled were in the right rooms. Once the heavy stuff was settled in the guys can leave and Morgan and Saurelle will do the rest of the unpacking. They started dragging boxes that can be emptied later on into the spare bedroom. Once inside with Saurelle, Morgan closed the door and sat on a box labelled ‘books”.

“Something happened yesterday.” She said looking at Saurelle.

“I know, so spill. Did you have sex?”

Morgan inwardly cringed at her friend’s bluntness. “Are you crazy?” she said standing up and walking towards the window. She folded her arms across her chest and began.

“I love Flynn but when Filipe asked me something about being with him forever, I couldn’t answer. I mean we are good together and everything was going fine. Then Filipe came, asking to be friends, which I have no problems with. Thing is, I am attracted to him. The moment I saw him I was in lust with him Auri. My God, he is an attractive man. Gorgeous for days. I don’t usually go for that type because somehow I always feel they end up being players.”

Saurelle went to sit on the box Morgan left. “What are you saying Morgs? You are babbling.”

“Filipe kissed me.”

“What?” Saurelle stood up.

“Did he force you to?”

“No, it just happened.”
“Did you, you know, kiss him back?”

“Yes I did. My God Auri, the man can kiss, he left me breathless.” She whispered

“Well what’d yer expect? Don’t we always say the French invented kissing?” They both laughed.

“Ok, so what happened next?” Auri urged her to go on.

“It happened more than once” Morgan continued, “the way I felt when he kissed me, I never felt that way with anyone, not even Flynn. Not only did I respond to his kisses, it’s like my entire body was responding to his. God Auri, he turns me on by just looking at me and I felt so good in his arms; I felt so safe and loved and, oh my god. I want to scream and not stop… Tell me this is not happening. I want it but I don’t want it. I don’t know what to do.”

Morgan walked towards the door and locked it. She turned to look at Saurelle who was staring at her wide eyed.

“So do you think it’s just a sexual attraction or more than?” she asked Morgan. “Because you never admitted to any feelings for him you know.”

“I don’t know what it is. The main reason I added him is because after reading his profile I liked him, and didn’t mind knowing him. I never thought I’d meet him in person so soon. I mean, I hardly know the guy but what I do know so far is good. I feel as if I’m falling for him and I’m scared because I don’t want to. I want to love Flynn. To be here, living my life like any regular person, doing our do.”

“Do you feel if you have sex it will all be over?”

“Sex? Are you kidding me? How do you just have sex with a guy like Filipe? He is a keeper Auri, not a fling. He has his head on and knows what he wants. He wants me and it scares me because I want him too. We chatted a lot about stuff, he even seem to want to help me find dad. He wants to go Tobago to meet my mom.”

“But are you truly into him?”

“I admit I do like him more than when we were just chatting online. I always liked him, he is so cute. Meeting him in person I’m like… wow! Then to realize he’s interested in me, I wasn’t expecting that.”

“I knew something would happen between you two. Morgan you did not see the way he was looking at you when we had dinner in TGI’s. Not staring in a bad way but like someone totally enamored with you. I thought it was so sweet.” She folded her knuckles and put it under her chin, then continued.” His eyes lighted up every time you said something to him it was if the words you said were music to his ears. He seem to be such a sweet guy Morgs, if you feel you want to be with him just do. It’s not as if you are engaged to Flynn or anything. Besides after what Vincent told me” … she stopped herself suddenly, then continued. “I always told you he is too boring for you. You met someone who excites you, do something about it.”

“What is that about Vinny?” she was curious

“Nothing, he just said Flynn is not ready for a real relationship, he’s too immature.”

“I don’t want to hurt Flynn, Auri. He is a good guy”

“I know you think so but all good things must come to an end to make way for the better things to come.”

At that moment the door handle rattled. “Morgs! You girls in here oh war?” It was Dick.

“Yea Dick.” Morgan opened the door to let him in.

“Why you two looking like you up to no good?” He said watching from Morgan to Saurelle.

“Oh please, us saints?” Saurelle rolled her eyes heavenwards as she guided him into the corridor.

Morgan followed biting her lips. Flynn came in behind Wade bringing in some indoor plants. “Where to put these plants babes? I won’t want them to get squashed.”

“On the kitchen counter, thanks, I will move them later” She replied.

He watched her curiously knowing that whenever she is biting her lips, she is usually bothered by something or the other. He and Dick then put the stove in its place. They then went to organize the furniture in the living and dining rooms. Everything began shaping up very quickly. With everyone pitching in and Amos offering to go for Royal Castle chicken for lunch, by the end of the day Morgan’s new apartment was livable. They sat around chatting and cracking jokes while she and Saurelle finished packing up the smaller things.

 

 

After everyone else left, Morgan and Flynn sat on the balcony overlooking the neighborhood. There were a couple of people moving in tonight. The apartment right next to this one has a family with two little girls. They seem to be about four and eight.

“So your French friend left huh?” he asked watching her closely’

She smiled and answered, “Yes, actually he did today.”

“He spoke about opening a Café, when will he be back?”

“I have no idea. Yes apparently he has hopes of opening a Café in the other
