Chapter 101

***Rowen***

Every time we do these group dates some how we end up getting readying at my place. I never understood it, but it just seemed to be the way it was. When I walked into the living room to see Colby looking at the flowers I got for Chastity, I chuckled. ‘

“You get her flowers for every date?” Colby asked me.

“Yes. Did you get some for Lexi?” I asked.

“No. Lexi doesn’t like cut flowers. I got them once, and she got mad at me.” Colby admitted.

“Really?”

“Yeah. I got her a little succulent plant instead. She has a bunch of them.”

“What is that?” Ross asked, and Colby showed him.

“Kind of looks like a cactus without the needles.” I stated.

“Pretty much, but Lexi loves them” Colby shrugged, “By the way, where is Jax.”

“Idiot forgot flowers, again.” Ross answered.

“You know, I’m not the most romantic guy in the world, but man my brother really sucks at it.” Colby said, shaking his head.

“He has his moments, but he really does suck at it.” I agreed.

Just then my door opened, and Jax walked in, looking winded, holding another mess of flowers.

“Again with then the weird mess of flowers. Can’t you just choose two or three?” Ross questioned Jax.

“Molly likes a mixture.” Jax snapped.

“Are you sure or do you just not remember what flowers she likes?”

“No. She likes a big mix of wildflowers.”

“I doubt that.”

“You’ll see.”

“Are we ready?” I finally cut in.

We each grabbed our flowers, and headed to Jax’s. When we got to his door, I knocked. Jax quickly pushed me out of the way, and opened the door.

“Why do you always do that? I live here. Just walk in.” Jax stated, as we followed him into the apartment.

“See, not a romantic bone in his body.” Ross muttered to Colby.

“Eh. He’s not wrong.” Colby shrugged.

“Just wait. In 3…2….”

“Molly! We’re here! Let’s go!” Jax called.

“You know Jax, just once it would be nice if you could pretend to be a gentleman, knock, and wait. You know like Rowen, and Ross do?” Molly growled as she walked out of the bedroom.

“But I live here.” Jax complained.

“It’s called romance Jax. You should try it.” Molly stated.

“See. Told you.” Ross whispered to Colby, and I snickered.

“I’m plenty romantic.” Jax argued.

“How many times do I have to tell you sex is not romance? Thank you for the beautiful flowers.” Molly grumbled as she took the flowers from Jax.

“Since when is sex not romance?” Jax questioned.

“Stop while you’re ahead man.” Ross stated.

“Alright. I concede, my brother is an idiot when it comes to romance.” Colby stated, “Molly, where is Lexi?”

“HEY!” Jax snapped.

“She’s changing. She forgot Rowen said pants, and long sleeves.” Molly answered as she sniffed the flowers she got from Jax.

“Ah. You like that mess of flowers Jax got you?” Colby questioned.

“Yes. Jax may suck at romance, but he always remembers that I like a nice mix of wildflowers.” Molly admitted.

“Um. Alright.”

“I do NOT suck at romance. I romance you every night.” Jax grumbled.

“Dude, seriously?” Ross questioned.

“The things I don’t need to hear about Jax.” Chastity complained she came out of her bedroom, making me smile.
