Ticket To Love

Chapter 5

Welcome to Ticket of Love! Todays question is...

5) Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Answer: I will hopefully be done with college, where I want to study film, and maybe be working on movie or tv sets. Hopefully, I would be in a relationship by then with a long term boyfriend. I hope that I am living the life that I want and that I'm happy. 

"Okay, so what's our next move of action? Who should we interview next?" I asked, Ozzy just as he bit down on his burger. We were downtown having lunch, trying to work more on our film project. We figured out that we would focus on filming the people we know last since they will be easy to arrange. We just had to figure out the strangers interviews we had planned. 

"How about that place?" Ozzy said pointing to a flower shop across the street.

"Oh, that's perfect. People go in there all the time to buy flowers for people they love! You're a genius!"

"I've been told that a time or two," Ozzy smirked. 

 After lunch, we walked over to the flower shop to see if there was anyone that would be interested in being filmed by two random high school kids, but when we opened the door, all we found was one lady behind the register. 

"Hi!" She perked up, "How can I help you?"

"Hi, we aren't actually interested in flowers today, but we were wondering if you'd be interested in helping us with our school project film?" Ozzy asked, confidently.

"Oh, well I'm not really sure how I can help you."

I smiled, trying to look friendly enough, "Well our film is actually about love. We want to ask people if they believe in love and have them share with us a story on why they do. And you would honestly be the perfect candidate. You work in this flower shop and people must come in here every day to but flowers for their loved ones."

"Well, seeing as I'm not busy right now, why not?" She set the sunflowers she was working with aside and walked around the counter, "We can sit down here if you'd like," She motioned for us to sit down at a bistro style table located at the front of the store. This looked like the perfect backdrop for any movie about love. Flowers were filled to the ceiling, paper hearts were strung in the windows, and twinkle lights dangled down looking like stars. Everything seems so perfect for this interview, I'm hoping we get some good footage out of it.

"Okay, I'm going to just ask you some questions and you can answer them any way you would like to," Ozzy sat across from the flower shop owner and got situated out of frame. I stayed behind the camera to make sure everything stayed in frame and focus, "So let's start. What's your name?"

"Rosa Velasquez," She smiled. 

"So Rosa. Do you believe in love?"

"I do. I see it every day working in this flower shop. Many people come in to buy flowers for friends, lovers, and family members all the time."

"Have you ever been in love?"

She blushed, "Oh yes. My wife and I have been together for 27 years now and I fall more for her every day." 

"Can you tell us about the moment you knew you were in love with your wife?"

"Oh sure, we were at the age of 22 and had only been dating for about 9 months at the point. I remember having a terrible day, just awful! You know those days when nothing goes your way? Well it was like that but worse! Anyway I was complaining to her that I wished I could close the shop and come home early to rest. I got home at about 7 that night and she had dinner waiting for me, basically a whole spa layout in our bathroom and the whole house cleaned. Just the little things like that made me so happy. She knew I was stressed and the last thing I would want to do is the dishes. I was over the moon that I didn't have to worry about any of that and just go relax for the night. And that night in bed, while watching an episode of Friends, I looked over at her and just told her I loved her. And she said it back. And that was that. We were married a year later."
