Peter Jones was a sap, and he wasn't afraid to admit it. Not even a little afraid or ashamed or any of those other negative words. He fucking loved Valentine's Day. It was one of the days in the year that gave him an excuse to be flirty towards all the ladies (and some of the men) and make them feel good about the day. He'd ordered three dozen red and white roses weeks ago and had spent his morning handing them out to everyone he met on the grounds and in the estate's buildings.
He had one rose left. It was the best bloom, and he hadn't crossed paths with the one he wanted to give it to. So he went looking for Astrid. Say what you wanted about Pete, because he was aware of it all. Glutton for punishment? Yep. Persistent? Yep. Sure that the alpha female would be a good match for him if she didn't have such a big chip on her shoulder? Yep. It wasn't like he asked her out ever. He sort of flirted with her, and he took her abuse in stride because it didn't actually hurt him. He never backed down from her challenges, and he never exposed his neck or stomach to her. He would not submit, but neither would she.
And he loved that chase. That back and forth. If he thought she'd actually let him take her on a date, he would ask, but he liked to save the moments when he would make her laugh him out of the office for special occasions. Like today, with the rose. He knew he was asking for disdain, but he swore it meant she cared.
Pete found Astrid in her office. Her door was open, but he tapped on it anyway as he leaned against the frame. "For you," he said, grinning and holding the rose out to her. Something smelled different about the space. "New air freshener?"
