She woke up the next morning to the sound of the doorbell. He had left her last night. He had to go to a family thing early this morning with his cousin Jimmy so he couldn't stay the night. She grabbed a t-shirt and threw it over her head before going to answer the door. Outside a flower delivery guy was waiting with a big bouquet of tulips in all kinds of colours.
"I have a delivery for a Melissa," he said.
"That's me," she said and smiled widely as he handed her the bouquet.
She went to the kitchen to put the flowers in water. She found the card and read it.
I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
Roman
She smiled. He knew she liked to speak in songs so he had done that. She already loved this song and had always felt the lyrics go straight to her heart. There was nowhere he could have known that this would make her so happy. She went to find her phone to text him.
"Thanks for the flowers and the song. They are beautiful. You have no idea how much I'm smiling right now," she wrote.
"You're welcome. Nothing's too good for my girl. I miss you," he wrote back.
She couldn't help but smile even more over the fact that he called her "his girl". That's exactly what she wanted to be.
"I miss you too," she texted back.
At the same time another text rolled in from John. It was a group text for them all.
"Party at my place tonight."
She texted Roman again.
"Did jimmy just get the group text from John?"
"Yeah. We get back late but we'll definately come by then. Well, I will at least. Jimmy or no Jimmy, I'm coming for you later," he answered.
"I can't wait," she wrote, then wrote another text for John. "I'll be there."
