__Sage__


We soon left the ice cream shop and headed to the flower shop. It had big glass windows and cute murals painted on them, the glass showed through into the shop. It was a soft lilac color, I was in awe at everything around me. On the front window in big bright letters it spelled Maria's flower shop and had little flowers painted around it. Cute. I thought. The outside was just as pretty with barrels, pots, and little gardens of growing flowers.

The girls went around the back a little to look at the garden of flowers.

I bent down to smell some of the flowers. The bell rung on the door indicating someone entered or was leaving. I payed it no mind at first until I heard that voice. "Okay ma I'll be careful with them, I always am!" I looked up to see a stumbling Mateo holding a vase of flowers. He hadn't noticed me yet, too busy listening to his mother. "Aye mijo, I know but you know how much I love sunflowers and my pretty vases to match!" She yelled, he smiled and shook his head.

"They aren't even that good!"

" Lies they always come out so beautiful! When you're done setting those ones out come in and help me decorate the shop some more!" She yelled out the door, he nodded.

"Of course ma!" She let the shop door shut as Mateo walked near to where I was on the side of it.

He looked surprised to see me. "Sage?!" He said and quickly but carefully set his mothers precious flowers down. I sheepishly smiled.

"Hi Mateo, I didn't know you worked here. You don't really seem like the type." I said, he shook his head in agreement.

"Yea well my mother insists on me helping out at her shop, shes in love with this place." He said and looked around at it.

"So am I." I said as I again bent down to smell the flowers he just put out.

"You like them?" he asked with a big ol smile on his face, I stood back up straight.

"Yea they're beautiful, this whole place is."

"Yea this is my moms literal pride and joy." He said tone filled with laughter.

"What are you doing here, are you stalking me now love?" He teased, I blushed but shook my head.

"Of course not! I was at the ice cream place right over there with my cousins." I pointed at the shop that wasn't nearly as pretty as this one.

"They do have good ice cream, so where's your cousins?" He asked, I shrugged.

"Somewhere around here."

"It's just the girls and I though, wanted to catch up and talk about... boys and life." I quietly said, he smirked.

"Boys..?" He asked, I gulped.

"Yes and you were definitely brought up in the conversation a few times." I whipped my head around to see the girls emerging from the back garden.

"Blair! Ignore her!" I said, he laughed.

"No worries I get it, I'm amazing." He joked, damn his accent is sexy.

"Thank you, love." He whispered, I blushed.

"Did I really say that out loud?!" I asked, he nodded and tried to hide his smile.

"It's okay beautiful I know you want me." He lowly said, the way he could hold eye contact was dangerous.

Fuck that's so hot. I shook my head but didn't get a reply out because his mom came back out. "Mateo don't stand in that hot sun all day, invite your friend inside, show them all your art work!" Mateos mom, which I assumed to be Maria shouted.
