Chapter 18: Midnight Pleasures

'Lauren, if there a flower for you're the best?', I asked her once we reached my room.

'Sweet pea or dark pink rose.'

'I'll have to send you a sweet pea and rose bouquet, then', I told her with a smile.

'I look forward to it. Buona notte, Emma', she said humbly.

'Buona notte!'

I entered my room and the first thing I did was draw the curtains to my room shut. Better safe than sorry, and I didn't plan on being sorry any time soon.
