Magus blinked. For a moment, his mind went blank and he didn't know what to do. The girl with dazzling green eyes was rooted to his black orbs for more than five seconds now and he couldn't remember how many times he tried to calm himself and swallowed the urge to do something that he would clearly regret later.

"Thea! You're awesome brothe—What are you doing?"

Their heads turned to the door and there was a police officer holding a paper bag looking at them in shock. This made him snap back to reality and stepped back to the girl.

"Alex!" the girl squealed out and jumped into the police officer's embrace.

For some reason, watching this scene just made his mood more sour and it made him more annoyed because he doesn't understand how and why he is getting these strange feeling from someone whose name is still unknown to him.

The officer kissed the girl on her forehead and gave her a squeeze before letting go. His gaze still on him and Magus was too occupied to be fazed by the fierce gaze of the man.

"Who is he?" The officer asked.

"Who?" The girl said as she took a bite off the burger from the paper bag.

"Him" The officer pointed to Magus.

"Oh, I'm not sure" the girl stopped rummaging through the paper bag and looked to him. "Is there anything you need?"

Magus cleared his throat. "I'm here to get the flowers that my Mom asked for"

"Okay?" the girl said.

A moment of silence enveloped the room but they were staring expectantly at him.

"..So where are they?" He asked them.

The girl giggled at him and he heard angels singing. The thought made him blush beet red and the Officer beside her raised an eyebrow at him.

"Who ordered the flowers? We don't have only one customer you know?"

"Oh, right" He cleared her throat again. "My Mom asked for them"

She giggled at him again. "And your Mom's name is..?"

"Ah, Wilson, Mrs. Wilson" Damn it.

She flashed him a smile and walked to the wooden counter. "Ah, Mrs. Wilson, I'll get your flowers in the back"

She walked towards the door and disappeared behind it. It made him think that he shouldn't have told the name so he could stay in the same room with her. But instead, he is stuck with someone who seems to be not pleased with his presence.

The room went quiet and the soft music from the shop's speaker suddenly became audible.

"So, you're Mrs. Wilson's son?" He spoke.

"Yep" He said, clearly not interested in making conversation. He took out his phone and plugged the earphones.

He was about to play music when the door opened and the girl earlier came back balancing two flower arrangements in a vase. He was about to grab the other one when the officer went and rushed to help her which made him frown.

"Place them here Alex" She said.

The officer placed the vase on top of the counter but his stern look was still on Magus. He tried to ignore it but it was too hard to ignore the look that he was giving him. The girl seemed to notice so she slapped the guy in his arm.

"Alex!" she scolded and gave him a look.

"But Thea—"

"He's a customer!"
