Flower Lovers : the confluence of two souls

. Chapter 3 .

The door opened and a boy appeared.

"You here ? What are you doing ?" Dean asked curtly.

"Oh, I was looking for you... Hum... My friend said I must apologize... I didn't want to be mean earlier. I just had a bad week and-"

"Wait... how did you come upstairs ?" Dean interrupted like he didn't pay attention to the words of the boy.

"I escaped the security guard. But don't worry I intended to leave right after having seeing you and clearing up the situation"

"Right... I don't accept your apologies." Dean said impassively.

"Why ? Am I still too cheeky ?" the red haired man asked troubled.

"No, you are not. But I can't forgive you so far."

"Tell me why ? I don't want anybody being mad at me but if you don't tell me what's wrong I won't be able to do anything."

"Well... Have you got a driver license ?" asked Dean.

The other boy was confused, and yet, he answered, "I have a motorbike license. Why this question ?"

"Okay sounds nice. Can you drop me somewhere ?"

The basketball player was uncertain. "I heard you have an interview... You can't leave now..."

"You succeeded in getting in here. I'm sure you can bring me out with you."

"That's not the problem. They'll be upset if you disappeared"

"I don't give a shit." Dean replied with a smile.

"Hum... If anything turns wrong, I won't take the responsibility."

"Deal !"

"Are you sure it's the only thing I can do to be forgiven." the boy asked timidly.

"If you don't bring me out of here, I'll never forgive you and I will prevent my sister from meeting your friend. Get it ?"

"It's to wonder who is the villain in this story..." whispered the guy "I really hope I won't have to see you anymore after this" he lastly said.

"I promise, my word is my bond." he said formally. "So, show me the way out now."

"Okay, I go ahead..."

While Dean was going downstairs following the boy, he realized he didn't know his name.

"Oh ! I'm such an impolite man." He said ironically. "I forgot to ask your name."

"Yeah..." hesitated the basketball player. "My name is June. June Lee."

"Fine... So you're certainly-" Dean hadn't the time to finish what he was saying when June interrupted him. "Shh ! Someone is coming..."

At the very moment they were about to open the door, they heard some voices. Afraid of getting caught, they had to find a solution. Seeing a space behind the door, June held the hand of Dean and pulled him so as they could be hidden when it would open. He pushed him against the wall and made a gesture to silence him.

Because there wasn't a lot of space, they were very close. June could hear the heartbeat of the ice-skater. Indeed, he was slightly shorter than him, even if he was already tall, Dean was around 195 cm while June was about 190 cm. In addition, Dean used to wear shoe lifts when he had to be interviewed to look even taller, so June was not so far from his chest.

The voices amplified covering the heartbeat until the words could be heard distinctly and stopped arriving at the door. Then, we could hear a discussion between two men.

"Do you know where Mrs and Mr Jones's son is ?" a deep voiced man asked.

"No, the make-up artist said he went on a walk, and Henry saw him in the direction of the elevator." the other man answered

"You should take the elevator and go on the first floor to see if he's there. I'll take another elevator and search for him on the higher floors. He shouldn't be so far."

"Alright. Call me if you find him before me."

"For sure. Hurry up, the show will start in a few minutes."

The voices footsteps pulled away and June took a deep breath.

"Nothing finally happened. Well... I think we should wait just a few seconds here before opening the door, just to be sure they had left." he declared.

"I'm not against the idea, but can you just move."

June was still stuck with Dean. "Oh sorry I... Um... Yeah." looking down, he lastly said. " I think we can go now."

He looked in the small opening of the door if anyone was here and closed it.

"Nobody's here. Follow me"
