She hadn't slept with him yet. She was shy! She had crossed the living room and as she started to enter the dining room off of it I quickly made my way to the front door to leave. I eased the door open and as I stepped out heard Robin raise her voice. I couldn't make out the words, but a few seconds later, I heard her yell, "Then forget it you asshole!"

Good for her, I thought, then frowned when I heard her sob. She came walking back into the living room and as I slipped through the door

I caught a glimpse of her walking past with her head down, crying.

She headed for her room and part of me thought about asking if she were alright, but didn't want to embarrass her.

I walked to my car wondering if I should call Dave, but then he would either leave work and get in trouble or spend the rest of the night worrying about her. I got into my car and as I went to start it, my cell rang. I saw it was Kim and answered,

"Hey, Kim!"

"Thought you were coming over?" She asked.

"I never said that." I looked at the flowers and smiled.

"I heard you were, but you're not here."

"I had to stop for a couple of things." I rolled my eyes, I'd told one of her friends I was thinking of trying to talk to her tonight, big mistake.

“Guess I'm not that important then." She said, "But tell you what, get here in fifteen minutes and maybe I'LL let you take me out and... if it's fun, maybe we have some fun."

I was ready to tell her I was on my way when my mind quickly replayed her last words...what a bitch! I had wanted to try to make it work, but seriously?

"Sam, you there?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm here." I looked down at the flowers then glanced at

Dave's house and thought of his mother in there crying. She was a sweet woman who was now alone on her birthday and here was this stuck up bitch taking it for granted I would jump when she snapped her fingers.

"Well, you coming or not?"

"No." I said, “But I bet you will be as soon as you find some jerk at the club tonight."

"What did you say?" She demanded.

“I said, piss off, Kim, I'm not going to be used." I hung up on her and leaned back in my seat.

It wasn't like I was in love with her or anything, but it still sucked getting treated like that. Well at least I could just give

Dave his money back. I looked at the flowers and wondered what I could do with them, then thought of Robin. I smiled at the thought

I could give them to her and say they were for her birthday, make her happy.

I grabbed the bouquet and made my way back up to the door. I hadn't locked it on my way out and let myself back in, this time locking it behind me in case her asshole boyfriend did show up, this way he couldn't just walk right in.

I looked for her in the dining room and kitchen and then headed for her bedroom. I hesitated outside her door and wondered how this would look. I then shrugged, how could it look? It's not like she would think I was giving the flowers to her because I was hot for her or anything. I listened at the door and frowned when I heard her sniffling in there.

I knocked and she called out, "Dave, is that you, honey. You forget something?"

"No, Miss Warner, its Sam, um...can I come in for a minute?"

"Sam? I...I guess."

I put my hand behind my back, hiding the flowers and opened the door.

I figured she would have changed, especially seeing she told me to come in, but to my surprise-and pleasure-she was still in the sexy robe. I did notice the shoes were off and her long legs were stretched out on her bed. She was sitting up, her back against a pillow and a box of tissues next to her.

“What are you still doing here, Sam?" As she spoke, she grabbed the comforter and pulled it from the side of the bed, over her legs.
