“Should we grab a food first? I’m sure you all still don’t eat or drink anything since you guys woke up late.” Sophia the first one to break the silence.
“Just say that you are hungry. Don’t use us as an excuse.” Marcos said while covering his yawning mouth.
Sophia grinned. As expected, her best friend really knows her well.
“Hmm, what should I have?” Emma murmured to herself, looking around and left her friends behind.
“Mabel, what do you want? I can buy it for you.” Adam stretching his legs, looking at the variety stalls selling interesting food.
“Hmm, hot dogs? Or maybe pretzels? It’s easy to carry it if we don’t have any empty seats.” Looking at how full the seats are, Mabella suggest to eat simple food. She then wandering her eyes, searching for an empty bench or a place that they can sit.
“I agree. Aiden, what do you want to have?” Marcus asked his friend. Gianna already left them with Emma while Sophia and Marcos looked for the food with their own.
“Can you buy me anything?”
“Huh? Why should I buy it for you? I’m not your boyfriend.” Marcus’s eyebrows waggled. Confused with the question given by Aiden. He just asked what Aiden wants to eat not that he remembered mentioning about wanting to buy for him?
“I need to do something oh and Adam, asked Marcus to buy it for you or brings Mabella buy foods with you. Don’t let her alone.” With that word, Aiden walked away, leaving them stunned.
“What the f-?” Marcus gaped his mouth when Aiden leave them just like that. So now, he is Aiden’s maid or something?
“Erm, I want to look for an empty bench.” Mabella sounded out.
“No, let Adam look for that. Mabel, you go buy food with me.”
“Huh? You gonna leave me alone?”
“Yeah, you are a guy.” Marcus holds Mabella’s wrist and dragged her softly, looking for the foods.
Adam drew a give up smile on his face. Yeah, sure, he always be dump by everyone.
Aiden stopped somewhere. He approached the glass door written 'flora shop'. Slowly, he pushed the glass door making the bell inside the shop rang.
“Welcome!” An old woman in the flower shop greets the customer with a bright smile. She is a granny with receding white hair and style it to bun style. She is wearing and apron with her hands wearing a glove.
Aiden observing the shop. There are shelves along the walls and in the center of the display room, but it doesn't impede foot traffic. There is also a table and sitting in the lobby area. This flower shop has a simple design but still looks expensive.
“Who is it for, young man?” With a good and friendly tone, the old lady asking her customer.
Aiden face becomes glowing. As expected for someone who is experienced. She asked ‘who is it for’ instead of ‘what are you looking for’. But then again, this is a flower shop, of course this old lady would know he here because of he wants to buy flowers.
“I ermm, want to confess to my friend.” Aiden rubs his neck, suddenly doesn’t feel confident with himself. This is the first time he wants to confess to someone, before this, he only got a confession so this is the reason what make him so nervous.
“Granny, what do you think which the perfect flower for me to express my feelings?”
“Hmm..” The granny nodded her head. So, this fresh and young man wants to confess. Looks like he really nervous.
“How about roses then? Roses are really famous for young couple like you.” The granny guide Aiden to the back at the right side where the roses have been placed.
“Oh, there are so many roses.” Aiden suddenly recalls the time he with Mabella at the botanical garden.
“So, which the perfect roses for you to confess?” The granny purposely asks to see how Aiden finally has the confidence.
“Red roses.”
“How many roses do you want?”
“Three, granny.”
The granny picks up three red roses with a smile on her face. “You make a right choice. Three red roses often given by people with meaning, ‘I love you’.”
“Yeah.” Aiden makes an awkward face. If Mabella don’t tell anything about flower to him, until now, he wouldn’t know anything about this.
“It’s thanks to someone. I don’t really have a knowledge about this.”
The granny understand. So, he wants to confess to the person who talks about the flowers to this young man. “What colour do you want to wrap these roses?”
“Huh? I need to wrap the flowers?”
The granny laughs a little making the wrinkles on her face more visible. Oh my, this young man is really hopeless. Undoubtedly, he has zero knowledge about flower and confession but that’s fine. He is handsome. Everything going to be well.
“It’s to make your confession more romantic. If you give the girl this flower without wrapped, doesn’t that looked sloppy and gonna make the girl turn off?”
Aiden gaped his mouth. So, it’s gonna make him as a sloppy person, and of course, he doesn’t want Mabella to turn off by him!
“Then urm, can I take a black wrapping? It looks premium.”
The granny chuckled. Well, it’s fine. Black and red are the perfect color combination.
The granny told the price before handing the bouquet to Aiden. “With this, I wish you good luck for the confession. I’m pretty sure the girl won’t reject you. How can a girl reject such a fine man as you?”
The granny words successfully build up Aiden’s confidence. “Yeah, granny, I think that so too but erm.. I still want to spend more time with before making the confession. Can I keep this bouquet here for a while? I will come and pick it up later.”
“Sure, go get it, young man.”
“You’re the best, granny.” Aiden then steps out from the flower shop. Even his heart feeling nervous, he can’t wait to express his love to Mabella. He has a high hope that Mabella will accept his confession.
“Yow, where you gone for so long?” Marcus examining Aiden right away. He already finished his two cup coffee while waiting for this one friend of his.
“Toilet.”
“You poop?” Marcos asks with disgust face.
“Then, what people doing in the toilet for so long? Of course, poop and don’t talk like you’ve never pooped.” Aiden sits beside Mabella. He then takes his corn dog that given by Mabella.
“Guys, eat fast and after this, let’s go to the roller coaster.”
“You really like roller coaster, don’t you?” As usual, Marcos can never let Sophia happy even for a little.
“So? You afraid to ride that?” Sophia too, would never let Marcos off.
“No, no! Let’s not start a fight. My ears couldn’t bear it to losten you guys arguing everyday. It sucks.” Emma closed both of her ears. If she still be with them for next 15 years, her ears gonna rip off because of the noise.
“Yeah, let’s eat quickly and go together.” Everyone finally eats their food when Mabella who is the one to interfere. Yeah, let’s not waste the time anymore.
