White Roses

Kelly's POV

The morning was calm and bright. I was arranging some bouquets when the door chime created a soft noise and someone entered the shop. I prepared a sweet smile and was about to greet our first customer for the day when I realized who it was. Wearing a black tshirt, faded jeans, black rubber shoes and an exposed necklace with a thick chain and anchor as the pendant, Klay entered with a straight face. He was already walking towards my way.

He looked so handsome in his casual attire. I even saw a woman enter the shop after him, looking at him shamelessly, pretending to be interested in flowers.

I felt awkward around him because of our argument but I gave him a welcoming smile, "Good morning. Are you looking for a particular flower?"

He stopped a meter away from me and roamed his eyes around. My lips parted as I realized he's too tall and the level of my eyesight just reached his neck. "What flower symbolizes a sincere apology?"

An apology? He must've upset Emily and he's trying to coax her. I can just give

him a flower

I smiled again, "The perfect flower for that is white roses."

He nodded. "Can you personally arrange it for me?"

""Yeah, sure."

I started picking the white roses while he was watching me. I couldn't help but to feel anxious because he's not taking his eyes off of me. He was watching me intently as if he's thinking about something and I have the answer. After arranging the bouquet, I handed it to him. He accepted it while looking straight into my eyes and after a few seconds, he handed it back to me.
