Love Potion

Two weeks away from Valentine's Day, I thought, hey, it's time to start a business. What's the best thing to sell during this event?
Aries then interrupted my daze. He then looked at me and gave me a weird look. He just grinned upon mixing some chemicals."Let's sell love Potion"

"What?"

"You said you were looking for something good to sell, didn't you?" Began to stir the glass bowl with a thin glass rod. “I just had the biggest idea. Let's start selling love potions. We will put them in a perfume bottle. Girls are so desperate these days that they will do anything to get whoever they want.

I was about to tell him crazy when he suddenly put her wrist in my nose. "What the-"

"Smell it," he smiled. I sniffed his wrist and swore twice. I wanted to devour his whole arm. The smell was inexplicable. Something like freshly mixed flowers, cute but woody, soft but strong, and overall addicting.It was like a drug. Was that his so-called love potion?

So I agreed to do business with him and sell those damn perfumes. The next morning we started pouring love potions into small glasses. It smelled very good; I wonder what Aries put in there.

Days after the Love Potion is really popular. "Here, this one is for you, use only on the person you like even it will only effective for two hours".

"I hate to admit but I had someone I like but I'm not gonna used that. You?"

"Mind your own business. I'll give you a hint though. I'll only kiss the person I like"

I was about to leave but Aries suddenly kissed me. My mind went blank and the only thing I say is "It's me and it's also you"
