It was a easy day at the shop since Diamond and Nikki were both off so the shop was pretty quiet just how Taylor likes it. The only thing could be heard is Wendy Williams playing in the background and blow dryers blowing.
Taylor was ordering more products for her shop when she notice a man walking in holding dozens of red roses.
"Uh flowers for uh" he read the clipboard before finishing. "Miss Santana"
Just hearing her name she stopped what she was doing and looked towards the front desk seeing a bouquet of red roses in a clear vase with a red ribbon tied around it.
"These are beautiful" Taylor said taking the flowers from him, eyeing them.
"Have a good day ladies" the man said before walking out.
"Bye!!" They all screamed out.
Santana told her client that she will be right back before making her way over to Taylor.
"Who is it from?"
"Uh I don't know hold on" Taylor says looking for the card. She ripped it off one of the flowers before reading it out loud.
"I'll give you a reason for loving if you'll give me a reason for living from..."she quickly stopped and placed the card to her chest cheesing hard.
"What?"
Taylor started laughing hysterically getting Chanel and Mickey attention as Santana snatch the card from her before reading it.
"From...."
"King" she thought to herself.
"Who is it from?" Chanel said snatching the card from her hand. "Giiirrrll" she smiled.
"I can't accept these"
"Why not? Who are they from?" Mickey ask standing next to Chanel. She flipped the card to show her and Mickey eyes widen. A smirked appeared on her face as she took the card out her hand.
"I'll give you a reason for loving if you'll give me a reason for living" Mickey said reading the card. "I never thought he could be this corny but it's cute" she chuckled.
"Guys I can not accept these flowers" Santana chuckled.
"Oh yes you can" Chanel says smelling them. "These are fresh too girl and they will look perfect on our table" she continued.
"They will right?" Santana laughed.
"If you don't take them I will gladly bring these home" Mickey said smelling them as well.
"Diamond is gonna be pissed once she finds out" Taylor laughed.
"See that is another reason why I can't accept them-"
"Santana!!" They all screamed at once.
"Fuck that hoe" Mickey snapped.
"She ain't ya friend" Chanel added.
"Obviously she ain't doing something right if he sending you flowers" Taylor cosigned. "Why did he send you them anyway?"
"I don't know probably because I told him I wasn't into him-"

"You told him that? Bitch when?" Chanel asked.
"The other night when he ask me to dinner"
"And you shut him down?" Chanel questioned.
"This is just the tea I needed" Mickey says leaning over the counter.
"We are gonna talk after work I can't believe this" Taylor says throwing her hands up.
"Y'all nosey I'm gonna go put theses in the back so nobody will mess with them"
"We closing in an hour so gather up all the information!!" She heard Mickey yelled.
Even though she wasn't interested in King him buying flowers for her brighten up her day. Nobody had brought her flowers before and she couldn't help the smiled that crept across her face.

"Spill the tea" Mickey said once Taylor locked up the shop. Santana laughed grabbing the broom before sweeping up hair.
"He ask me to dinner and I told him he wasn't my type"
"What is your type?"
"She doesn't have one"
"Yes I do and it's not men like King"
"What you want? A doctor? A lawyer?"
"Whoever comes in my path-"
"And King is walking right on that path-"
"Mickey shut up" Santana laughed.
"I'm just saying"
"Y'all know I'm not looking for a relationship"
The last relationship Santana was in was almost a year ago and things ended badly.
"Who said anything about relationship?" Taylor question. "It's just dinner" she teased with a smile on her face making all them chuckle.
"It's free too" Mickey added. Santana laughed and high-fived her.
"I gotta think about-"
"Santana!!" They screamed.
"Tana you have been my girl since I was six I love you to death but stop thinking for once and do something besides being cooped up in the apartment" Chanel said walking closer to her.
"Alright next time I see him-"
"Why won't you call him?"
"I don't have his number" she answered. All the ladies threw up theirs hands before going back to cleaning the shop.

King walked into his aunt and uncle florist shop with his boys next to him. Inhaling the scent of flowers he took a look around eyeing the perfect bunch.
"Uncle Zeke" he greeted walking up to the counter.
"Hey nephew what brings you around?" He questioned helping out a customer.
"Just checking up on ya" he smiled walking closer to the counter. "Where's aunt Mary?"
"She went out for your mother real quick"
"You came for some poison ivy or something?" He smirked. King turned around and seen Trigga arguing with Dex over which flowers is pretty or ugly or which one stink.
"Are those fresh?" He asked pointing behind his uncle to roses.

"These stink my nigga fuck you smellin?" He heard Dex voice.
"Yea actually came in today why?"
"Here" King said writing down information. "Send them to her for me" he grabbed a pink card and wrote something down before handing it to him. His uncle picked it up and read it before chuckling.
"Iight no problem I got you" he said nodded his head towards the back of the shop. King took a look around and seen the coast was clear before whistling getting his boys attention. They all walked to the back passing a bunch of flowers going straight to the storage room. All three entered and see cleaning products and plant food. Trigga moved a bag of soil revealing a key pad before putting the code in. The shelf moved to the side revealing a big metal door leading to a secret passage that led next door that his uncle also owned .
"Yoo I know them mother fuckers better have the money this time or they end up looking like Q" Dex said.
They walked in seeing a bunch of naked women wearing mask cutting, weighing, bagging up drugs or counting money.
Walking pass not paying any attention to them all three men made their way to the back see some of their men putting money in three big duffle bags.
"It's all there boss" one of them said before throwing to King who caught it.
"If it's not ya ass is gonna end up missing" King threaten tossing the bag to Dex.
"And I make sure they won't find you" Trigga added. They both grabbed the rest and made their way to the back where they had a car waiting for them.
***
"It's all there?" King questioned as Dex put the money in the machine.
"Yup this time it's more they worked their asses off this week"
Feeling his phone vibrate in his pocket King took it out seeing his little cousin calling.
"Wassup Jackie?"
"I left my book at your house can you bring it too me around three I'll just meet you there"
"Yea what day?"
"Tuesday"
"Yea I got you" he said. As she thanked him a plan was running through his mind.
"Yea love you too" he smirked before hanging up. He couldn't wait for Tuesday to get here.
***
"You still fucking with King?" Nikki question. Her and diamond decided to go to the bar to catch up on a few things.
"Yeah girl he was just at my house the other night" Diamond answered taking a sip of her drink. "He ain't going no where" she smiled.
"Look at you all happy and shit" Nikki laughed encouraging her friends poor habit. They say birds of a feather flock together but Nikki was nothing like Diamond. Her man was locked up and only had a few months left and the other reason why she choose not to mess around is because she had a two year old daughter. She didn't want her to see different men run in and out the door every week or month. She had respect for herself and her man.
"How is Myles doing?" Diamond asked her.
"He is doing good Mylee gets so excited when she visits him he coming home in a few months" she smiled.
"That's good I'm happy for you"
"Thank you I can't wait for daddy to come home" she laughed.
"Look at us both in love" Diamond cheese catching Nikki attention.
"Wait hold up Diamond you are falling a little to quick now"
"No I'm not I know in my heart I love him"
"Does he love you back?"
"He won't say it but I think he does-"
"Diamond you said this about the last guy"
"I know I know I know but King is different and Nikki you know how I felt about him growing up"
"Yea you were" Nikki stopped talking and thought about something. "Actually you still are obsessed with him" she chuckled.
"But seriously I think he is the one-"
"You met the mother?"
"Soon girl soon"
"What time is it?" Nikki asked checking her phone. "I gotta go get Mylee from my mothers before she jumps down my throat again"
"Alright girl I'll catch up with you later" Diamond said watching her friend gather up her things.
"Iight I'll call you"
Diamond watched Nikki leave just when she saw Dominic walked in. She made eye contact with him as he walked over to her.
"Wassup?"
"Hey bro" she greeted hugging him.
"Hey that was Nikki?"
"Yeah"
"When does her man get out?"
"Soon"
"She still doesn't know?" He asked her.
"No and we are going to keep it like that and when he does come out don't touch him-"
"Fuck you mean? He killed our brother-"
"Dominic stop it" she demanded. "He didn't do it you and I both know that stop blaming him" she continued starting at him. She watched him wave to the waiter who came down with a shot of Hennessy for him. He threw it back without making a face.
"I hear you messing around with King"
"Something like that" she smiled.
"He isn't running around on you?"
"Nah he stop that just for me"
Diamond knew about King and his ways but she didn't want to believe it. She was in love with King always has been and now that she feels like they are together nobody couldn't tell her nothing.

Rich's life sucks. He lives in a dystopia, His father's an abusive creep, his mother's up to some shady stuff, and he's pretty sure he's going to die a virgin. He can't do much about the first few problems, but a new darknet game might give him a shot at getting laid. But even the most well-laid plans go astray, and he ends up with way, way more than he bargained for. He gains a character with the rarest of all races: Dragon. But it's a two-way street, and strange occurances and problems soon have Rich wondering if this is truly a game, or something far more sinister... WARNING: Contains verbal abuse and harsh language.

8 239Re:The Worst System Leveling Turned Me Into A Zombie
Before I reached Lvl. 100, they called me Death God Hei. But when I broke the limit, the System punished me. It cursed me to become this monster. I woke up as a Lvl. 0 again. Dying only brings me back to a save point now. But I don't go back until I die twice. First I suffer as a human, then I hunger as a zombie. The worst part is...I still have to watch when that thing takes over my corpse. I call it the Gray. I can't do anything even when it's hunting down those I'm trying to save. Sometimes, I wonder. When I level, I swear I can hear a voice speaking to me. This thing...can it think? It's like Re:zero crossed with SAO, Solo Leveling, and Tokyo Ghoul Re:The Worst System is a dark, 1st person timeloop story where the main character is slowly driven insane by his ability to respawn at a save point. However, each time he levels, there's a possibility that the next time he dies, the zombie inside him will become too powerful for anyone to stop. So he has to level up a harem...ahem, others, to fight for him against the System. Oftentimes, Hei will get trapped in repeating death loops which are truly terrifying. You've been warned...please don't read if you're not willing to see the darkness all the way through. The light on the other side may be a long ways away...I'll be trying to post on Thurs/Sundays, but honestly, depending on how I'm feeling, chapters could come out at some wonky times. If you want to support the story, read ahead, or bribe me to write more, I'd appreciate you checking out my Patreon, but this story will be updated frequently for free anyways.

8 138The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
8 196Player Glitch *paused*
Quod Venetus or QV for short, the greatest virtual reality game ever created and funnily enough also the name of the company. With a realism of 99% you can really start a new life in a land of swords and magic, and with its unique point shop system that can buy you anything if you have gathered enough points it's won many game mechanic awards.Just imagine if one player had advantage over this system. What a disaster that would be!??(Will write chapters of varying lengths)
