Chapter 23 Lily of the Valley

PHILIP'S POV
I couldn't stop smiling, Lia is jealous.
"hey, stop already" she pointed out. We're out here in the park, eating the ice cream which she bought.
"you're jealous?" I asked once again.
She actually said that she was jealous earlier and that she was mad at me since I left her there.
I don't want to leave her but then the owner really recognized me.
He even told Lia about it which is why I hide and when I was hiding, I saw Haven. She was my classmate back then and she said that she was waiting for her future husband.
That's why I accompanied her to a less silent place which is in the intersection.
I really wanted to go back to Lia that time but she's already done buying ice creams.
I knew I saw her that time because how can I not recognize my girl, right?
I said my good bye to Haven and quickly chased her but she was ignoring me.
And that's it.
"yes, I am jealous. Why?" she already raised her voice towards me which made me smile more.
I pinched her cheeks which made her to look at me more mad than earlier.
"aww, you're so cute" I told her and scrunched my nose.
"stop it, it's not funny anymore" she complained and removed my hands on her face.
"you must be really mad huh. It's fine, okay? As what I have told you, she was a classmate of mine. Nothing more, nothing less" I explained again.
"nothing more?" she asked. But now, with a pout.
"nothing more" I answered to make her feel assured.
I saw her smile and looked at the scenery.
Even though she's not giving me signs nor answers about my confession, I am happy that we still get along well. I am happy that she doesn't treat me uncomfortably. Even though we felt uncomfortable at first but then, we got along with it.
"how does that taste?" she asks and looks at my ice cream.
These past few days or weeks, she had been so curious about different flavors.
Is she exploring or what?
"yummy" I even raised my eyebrows.
"really?" she asked. I nodded.
"wanna taste it?" I asked. She quickly said yes so I scooped a spoonful and bring it closer to her mouth. She then ate it with a mouthful.
"yummy?" I asked. She just nodded.
"hmm, that's so yummy" she said after tasting it thoroughly.
"you want more?" I asked as she seems like she liked it to much.
Again, I did the same. I scooped a spoonful and she ate it without leaving any ice creams on the spoon.
"you eat so well" I answered. She just scrunched her nose to me.
"wanna taste this as well?" she asked and showed me her vanilla ice cream.
"can I?" I hesitantly asked. I already knew what it tastes like since I always buy ice creams there but because Amelia offers, Philip takes it.
"of course not" she answered and showed me her tongue. Now, she's teasing me.
At last, she let me taste it and she asked me to change ice creams. I have let him do it though, since I know that she loved the Pistachio so much. Even though I don't like vanilla ice creams, I still switched.
"let's go back there, okay?" she asked. She must have loved Pistachio so much.
"it's about to get dark, shouldn't you go home by now? you must be tired" I said. I saw her pout.
It's not like I don't want to go back there, it's just that I can't.
I walked her home and throughout the walk, she looks so sad.
When we reached her house, she faced me without saying a word. She must be waiting for me to talk to her first.
"you should go inside now, Lia. It's pretty tiring for you today" I said. She didn't looked at me nor say anything, she just entered her shop and left me there.
I sighed and started to walk.
I should go home by now since Lia doesn't seem to want to hang out with me tonight.
Before going back to the castle, I dropped by the flower shop which I am already a regular to.
"oh, hi Mister" the florist greeted me with a high pitched tone. I just smiled at them weakly, Lia is mad at me and I can't seem to smile tonight.
"good evening, Mister. What flowers are you looking to this time?" she asked.
"do you have flowers that symbolizes sorry, something like that" I was so hesitant to say that to her as I am too shy.
I heared her giggle, "why, Mister? did you had a fight with your girlfriend?"
I just scratched the back of my head ,"well, uhm y-you can say that"
"oohhh" she giggled and started looking at her flowers ,"you shouldn't let the fight last for so long. You shouldn't let her sleep with a heavy heart. I know you feel heavy too, just make up, hmm?"
"y-yeah" I just answered.
"oh here!" she showed me a bouquet of white flowers which I don't know what it is called.
"this is the lily of the valley bouquet. This doesn't actually symbolize sorry, but this symbolizes sincerity" she explained.
I looked at the bouquet and it's so beautiful.
I looked up at her and said ,"yes, Miss. I'll get that. Where's the note?"
I always asks for a note. She gave me one and a pen.
"she must be so beautiful that a very handsome man is willing to give her flowers everyday" the florist said.
I smirked. Amelia is indeed so beautiful. Inside and outside.
"same address, Miss. Please be right on time like before" I said and paid for the flowers.
AMELIA'S POV
I woke up because of a knock coming from my door.
When I looked at the clock, it's already 10am!
I overslept.
I opened the door and the delivery guy who always delivers flowers to me is here again.
But it's not just him.
"S-Sir" I called as I saw the man in the ice cream shop.
"good morning, miss" he smiled.
"wh-what's going on?" I asked.
Both of them handed me something and left.
As usual, I received flowers but this time, it's not only three flowers since it's a bouquet.
A heavy bouquet. I quicky placed it inside.
The ice cream guy also gave me a box which I don't know what contains.
The box is kinda cold though.
I placed the box on top of the table and opened it and I was so shock when I saw ice cream!
It's Pistachio flavor. And then I remembered Phil. He must have sent this right?
When I looked at the flowers, there's a note again on it.
So I opened the note and read what is written.
"I'm sorry again, my Lia. If you have some hard feelings towards me, just tell me okay? Phil is willing to get hit by you everyday. I'm sorry again"
