Jessica curled her fingers around the bouquet of flowers as she let herself into her apartment that night. At last she could release her past, let it float away into obscurity. Happiness flowed through her, warming her skin like the rays of an early summer sun. Her customary cautious grin exploded into a radiant smile that she hadn't worn in much too long. Everything was going to be alright now, she had Javier and he had her. They were a team. He would help her to never fear the thought or chance for love again because he would be with her each step proving just what love is suppose to be.

She put her flowers in the vase with the flowers she got earlier. At this rate she might just leave the window open for bees to come and enjoy her indoor garden.

She kicked off her shoes and undressed as she walked into her bedroom. A shower sounded like heaven at the moment. So that exactly what she did. The warm water soothed her muscles and left her feeling even more relaxed. The soft towel she wrapped around her felt soft and cushy, immediately climbing into bed and sinking under the covers sounded Heavenly.

Whoever knocked at her door had other ideas though. She pulled a large T-shirt on and went to answer the door.

"Who is it?" she asked but got no answer. She slid the chain into place and peeked through the peephole. There was no one there but she saw yet another vase of flowers.

She grinned and opened the door expecting to see Javier hiding but all she saw were the flowers. She stepped out and looked up and down the hallway then she heard the elevator door close but not before she heard a deep chuckle.

Her brows knitted in confusion as she picked up the flowers and went back inside. She slid all the deadbolts closed and added the chain just for peace of mind.

The card was typed and it said.

Green is your colour, you looked like a dream come to life today.

She was smiling at first and then she remembered she wasn't wearing green today so Javier must be talking about her eyes. She wasn't sure why he didn't stick around to deliver the flowers himself but she figured there's a method to his madness. The chuckle right before the elevator slid close is what caused the hair on the back of her neck to rise. She brushed it off as being tired and brought the vase into her room where she searched for a underwear. As she was pulling it on her phone beeped. She picked it up and saw a message from an unknown number.

Dream about me, I know I'll be seeing you all night ;)

She picked up the phone and dialed Javier's number. When he picked up she could tell she had interrupted his sleep and instantly she started to panic. If he was sleeping who was leaving her flowers at almost midnight?

"Jessica are you there?" she heard the worry in his voice now.

"Did you leave some flowers at my door tonight?" she asked him

"No. I've been sleeping since I brought you home. What's going on?"

"Javier -"

"I'm on my way."

When he hung up she paced around the room. Her phone beeped again and it was the same unknown number.

I've got a surprise for you.

The knock that sounded at her door caused her to scream and then cover her mouth to muffle the sound. She walked to the door and looked out. She saw someone running away from the door and she heard the same deep chuckle again.

She moved away from the door and went to sit on the couch. She hugged her knees to her chest nibbled her lips nervously.

When another knock sounded at the door she all but jumped out of her skin.

"Let me alone!" she called out to whoever was there.

"It's me baby let me in."

When she heard Javier's voice she rushed from the couch and threw the door open. When she threw herself into his arms she almost sent them both falling over but he held her close and moved them inside.

"This was hanging on your door." he said showing her the little green bag.

"I don't want it." she said shaking her head.

She watched him toss it on the couch then he hugged her closer to him.

"How long as this been going on?" he asked her.

"A while I just thought it was you sending me gifts and flowers." she replied

She climbed onto his lap when he sat on the couch.

"All my flowers comes with a card signed by me. Most times I give them to you myself unless you're out at lunch. I haven't sent any since you finished working at the gallery." he explained

She immediately started shaking in fear against him.

"Hey I'm here I won't let anything happen to you. Have you noticed anyone suspicious around?"

"No." she told him

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, well only Roger but -"

She felt him go stiff against her.

"Who's Roger?"

"That guy that use to visit me at the gallery."

"What does he want?"

She could tell he was jealous but he really had no reason to be so she pulled away and looked at him.

"I ran into him on campus when I went to hand in my report. He was acting odd but I didn't stick around. He invited me for coffee but I said no."

Then she felt him relax against her.

"I'm taking you to file a report in the morning."

"I've been getting some messages too. It's from an unknown number."

"Let me see."

She climbed off his lap and went to get her phone. She noticed three more messages.

Now why would you call lover boy over?

I'm not happy with you right now.

We need to establish some rules.

Her fingers trembled as she handed over the phone.

"He's watching your apartment."

She could tell he was getting angry.

"I'm scared." she confessed

"I won't let this sick bastard hurt you." Javier told her. "Go get some sleep, I'll be here if you need me."

She glanced at the couch then at him but didn't question his decision. She walked to her room and left the door open and climbed under the covers.
