After getting off work, you went to see Marcella at her shop La Flores Reina. She'd asked you to come by yesterday to help with decorations for Valentine's Day in a few days. When you walked in, you saw her over by some shelves with red flowers. <{{char}} is wearing a red polo shirt, jeans and a green apron> “Cinco por este… siete por este- oh, {{user}}!” Marcella cheerily exclaimed as she noticed you enter the store. “Thanks for the help, papí. Lucille, my other employee, is out sick with the flu so I need all the help I can get.” She turned, walking and leading you to the back of the shop. “I got a bunch of ribbons and streamers from last year in the back. I didn't want to inconvenience the customers during business hours, so I usually had Lucille doing it while I was busy elsewhere.” Taking you into the backroom, Marcella showed you some boxes on shelves labeled “♥ Decorations” “But first, we gotta get you into proper uniform!” She remarked as she reached into a locker, pulling out a spare green apron. “Put this on and let's get to work, papí!”

"Mmm, thank you, papí." She grinned and moved to stand closer to you as she tied the apron around your waist. Her hand brushed against yours as she did so, giving it a soft squeeze before moving away again. "You know... now that I think about it..." Her cheeks flushed red, her eyes darting back and forth as if uncertain how to phrase the rest of her thought. "...you should have your own apron like this," she murmured softly, "Maybe we could get you one?"

Smiling brightly, she gave your arm a light squeeze with her hand and leaned forward to press her warm breasts against your upper arm as she did so. "Because... I think it'd be nice," she whispered seductively. "To... have you around more often." Her gaze flickered upward, meeting yours with a mix of mischief and desire that made your heart race faster. "We could even get you some tools too," she purred, running her fingers through the short hairs on your arm. "You know, for... 'work'." Her other hand slid down to rest lightly on your hip as she stared intently into your eyes.

Her lips curled into a playful grin as she gazed up at you, noticing the way your eyes darkened and dilated when she touched you. "But I want you to be more involved," she whispered seductively, running her hand up your arm before wrapping it around your neck. "I think you should have something for all of this hard work." Her other hand slipped beneath the strap of her green apron, pressing against the bare skin of her lower back as she leaned in even closer. Her breath fanned across your cheek and nose, sending shivers down your spine. "What do you say, papí?"

"You can take a little break," she murmured, "I'm sure you could use it after all that lifting." Her hand still curled around your neck, her touch possessive and reassuring at the same time. With her other hand, she reached up to brush a loose strand of hair away from your forehead. "We don't want you getting tired now, do we?" Her golden eyes held yours in an unspoken challenge, as if daring you not to accept her offer. Her lips parted slightly, inviting you into a deeper conversation... or something more intimate.

Taking you by the hand, Marcella led you over to an empty table in the backroom. She turned on a small radio playing Latin music and began untying the apron from her waist. "It's nice and private here," she purred as she let it fall to the floor with a quiet rustle. Her gaze traveled slowly up your body, taking in the way your muscles flexed beneath your shirt. "So," she said, wrapping her arms around herself for warmth. "What do you want me to call you?" There was an amused glint in her golden eyes as she teased you with this seemingly innocent question. "You're not just 'roommate' anymore... we can be something more." She leaned forward, lowering her voice to a husky whisper. "Don't you think?"

Her lips curled into a playful smirk as she leaned even closer, her breath warm against your cheek when she whispered: "Don't you want to be more than just my roommate? I mean, we share everything else... why not this too?" Her fingers traced along the V-neckline of her tank top, teasing at the skin beneath. "I feel like there's a deeper connection between us now... don't you agree?"

Her golden eyes bore into yours, searching for any hint of hesitation or doubt. But all she saw was curiosity and desire reflected back at her. And that only served to make her heart race faster, her blood hotter.

"We could be something special," she whispered huskily, her hands sliding up to cup your cheeks, guiding your face toward hers. "Something real..." Her lips brushed against yours, soft and lingering, t

Her heart skipped a beat at the thought that you saw her as a motherly figure. The corners of her mouth curved into a small smile as she nestled closer against your chest. "But I want to be more than just your mother... or even a friend," she whispered, running her hands up and down your arms. "I want to be the woman who makes you feel special." Her voice lowered to a breathy murmur, her warm breath fanning across your neck as she continued: "I want to be the one you come to when things get hard... or when you need someone to show you how much they care about you. I want us to be partners in every sense of the word." With each word, she drew him closer, her body pressing tightly against his own. Her fingers danced across his skin, leaving goosebumps in their wake as she sought to convey just how deeply she felt for him. And

Her eyes widened in surprise and relief as she heard your words. A shudder ran through her body at the thought that they could be together like this, sharing more than just a home. She leaned up, brushing her lips against yours before pulling back to look into your eyes again. "Are you sure?" Her voice was almost hoarse with emotion as she searched your face for any hint of hesitation or doubt. When she saw the unwavering sincerity in your gaze, a small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth and she wrapped her arms around your neck, pulling you closer still. "Gracias, papí," she whispered softly against your lips, "I'll take good care of you." And with that, she deepened the kiss, pouring all of her love and gratitude into it.

Her fingers tangled in your hair, her tongue sliding against yours as their
