    Summary

    Tommy stared down at the picture and didn’t move an inch as he tried to process what he was seeing. 

    It was of Evan, his pale skin glistening with sweat as he smiled, holding the door open for someone outside of his apartment building. 

    Mason put down another picture and then another, making the cold shock in Tommy’s veins turn brittle with each one being presented to him. It was obvious from the photographs that Evan hadn’t known his picture was being taken. It had to have been captured with a long lens of some kind. Evan, at his apartment building. Evan, by his Jeep outside of the grocery store. Evan, in his uniform, taking out the trash at the back of the firehouse, alone and surrounded by shadows. 

    “I really wished you’d said yes, man.” Mason leaned back and tipped the picture up to stare at him. “Cute kid. Got that birthmark thing? He’s a firefighter too? Calls himself Buck, right? Let’s take this somewhere else, huh? You can tell me all about him.”  

    An old army buddy of Tommy’s comes into town with a proposition. When Tommy refuses, he learns that Evan Buckley is a pretty good tool for persuasion.

    Summary

    Mickey likes his life. He likes his flower shop, working with his hands, the people around him, and most of the time, even the fucking hipsters who stumble into his store.

    What he absolutely don't like is that unbelievably rude, disrespectful, insanely hot firefighter asshole with no manners and no spine. The prick who moved in next door and is literally robbing him his sleep and driving him up the fucking wall.

You’re a bit young, aren’t you? or Someone like yourself should have more realistic expectations. and his least favorite Maybe you should tone yourself down a bit to appeal to a wider customer base. Annoyance vibrates through him.

    He crosses his arms. “That’s my name on the building, sweetheart. Is that going to be a problem?”

    OR, Alex is hired to make a wedding cake and Henry is his most annoying customer ever.
