Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce)

White Roses

Kelly's POV

The morning was calm and bright. I was arranging some bouquets when the door chime created a soft noise and someone entered the shop. I prepared a sweet smile and was about to greet our first customer for the day when I realized who it was. Wearing a black tshirt, faded jeans, black rubber shoes and an exposed necklace with a thick chain and anchor as the pendant, Klay entered with a straight face. He was already walking towards my way.

He looked so handsome in his casual attire. I even saw a woman enter the shop after him, looking at him shamelessly, pretending to be interested in flowers.

I felt awkward around him because of our argument but I gave him a welcoming smile, "Good morning. Are you looking for a particular flower?"

He stopped a meter away from me and roamed his eyes around. My lips parted as I realized he's too tall and the level of my eyesight just reached his neck. "What flower symbolizes a sincere apology?"

An apology? He must've upset Emily and he's trying to coax her. I can just give

him a flower

I smiled again, "The perfect flower for that is white roses."

He nodded. "Can you personally arrange it for me?"

""Yeah, sure."

I started picking the white roses while he was watching me. I couldn't help but to feel anxious because he's not taking his eyes off of me. He was watching me intently as if he's thinking about something and I have the answer. After arranging the bouquet, I handed it to him. He accepted it while looking straight into my eyes and after a few seconds, he handed it back to me.

My lips parted in I stared back into his eyes.

"I'm sorry," he whispered just enough for me to hear.

"H-Huh?"

"I'm sorry for raising my voice. I'm sorry for trying to control your life. I'm sorry for making you feel suffocated. I never intended to hurt you, Kelly. It was just... don't know how to deal with our situation. I was wrong. Can you still forgive. me?" The sincerity in his eyes was too obvious. He was looking at me with regrets and I care. Who am I to reject his

apology? He was just trying to protect me and I understand that part. He was worried and has the right because he's my step brother and I was kidnapped twice. It's natural for him to be so uptight for my sake.

"I said something unforgivable too. Can you forgive me?" I asked back.

monster. He's still a human who was badly hurt that he tried to protect his heart by acting so cold and ruthless. Inside his dangerous mask was the person I learned to trust before.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"I guess this is the start?" He said and slowly tucked my hair behind my ear.

My smile slowly faded as I felt my heart skip a beat. What is this?

"You can tell me everything you don't like. I will try to change myself so we won't argue anymore. It was scary, Kelly. I don't want us to fight like that again."

I swallowed hard and chewed my bottom lip. I accepted the bouquet and looked him in the eyes and once again, my heart skipped a beat. What's happening to me? Am I really attracted to my stepbrother? Klay wet his lips and moved a little closer as he roamed his eyes around." How's your business going?"

That made me smile again. I hugged the bouquet he gave me and looked around. "Well, the flower shop is doing great. We've been receiving a lot of customers and I'm enjoying arranging flowers."

He chuckled and nodded as he looked at my face again. "I'm glad you're happy with what you're doing."

"How about you? The company?"

He shrugged his shoulders and took one rose from my bouquet and gently put it between my hair and ear. My lips parted because of what he did. I stared at his face. I could only see the sincerity in his eyes.

"I have a charity gala to attend. Would you mind coming with me and be my date?"

A charity gala? I chuckled thinking that the event was too uncommon for him to attend. He looked at me with a creased forehead.

I shook my head. "I'm sorry it's just... I didn't know someone like you would be interested in some charity gala. It's too...uncommon."

He stared at my face and my smile slowly faded. I felt like I offended him so I immediately stood straight and looked away. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have...said that."

He sighed and touched my chin. He made me look at him again and stared into my eyes. "I said you were the only blooming flower in my paradise and I intend to keep you blooming like that by giving myself a chance in life, Kelly. If you can bloom beautifully even in darkne forgiveness."

"Klay..."

"I've been living in darkness, Kelly. I've been trying to find hope to live and then I realize I have you. I want to be a better person so you can finally fully trust me. I don't wanna put you in danger again just because I'm reckless and self-centered..."

I was lost for words. I couldn't utter a single word while he was looking straight into my eyes. The emotions in his dark eyes were drowning me. I never imagined him saying those words to me but he is. I couldn't help but think about his confession to me. His feelings failed to notice before.

"I was in the dark during the past few days you're angry with me and I wanna free myself from that darkness. Give me another chance to prove to you that you can trust me. I will never waste that chance ever again," he added.

His words have reached my soul. His sincerity has touched my heart. He's my step brother and he's been doing everything to protect me. I just want my freedom and he gave it to me. So there's no reason to refuse his apology. White Roses

I smiled at him, "I want to shop for the dress I'm going to wear at that charity gala. Are you free later?"
