It was 11:28 am. Clay was standing behind the counter in his Flowershop, searching around for his Orchid seeds he'd just bought.
"God, where did I put them?" He groans out, while face-palming himself.The shop's door bell rings. He quickly pulls himself together and turns around to serve his customer.
"Oh! Hello Mrs. Clifton, how are you doing?" He exclaims, as she visits his shop almost every day. She's a regular and Clay loves seeing her more every time.
"Hi dear. I've been fine, just need some more Cosmo seeds, my husband threw them out by accident." She says to him, giving a slight smile.
"I'll get you those in a second. I have to go into the back, just wait here."
He runs off into the Back and looks at the 'C' section of his gardening Stash.
"I've got them right here." He puts them in a small bag for the lady, and hands it to her.
"3.55 like always?" The lady says, looking through her coinbag.
"Yes, you seem to be memorizing my prices how much you come around!" He says, giving the lady a slight chuckle.
"Here you are. Have a nice day sweetheart." She says, putting the other 45 cents into the tip jar."Thank you, Ma'am. I suppose I'll see you tomorrow too?"
"If my husband decides to touch my stuff again, yes." She says, smiling and waving to the man.
The bell chimes as the opens the door to get out.
As a few minutes pass, another customer walks in.
"Welcome! How can I help you?" Clay says, giving his customer a smile.
"Hi! I'm here to buy some uhh... 'Morning Glories'? They're my girlfriends favorite. Not sure what they're exactly called, sorry."
The boy says, giving an awkward giggle to the man working there.
"I see, I know what you mean, they're called Ipomoea purpurea, I might have them in stock" He says, bending down to look for the flower.
"Special event?" Clay says, looking through his counter.
"Yeah... 6th Anniversary to be exact. I've been dying to propose." The guy says, sighing and pulling on his shirt.
"Goodluck with that, very happy for you guys!" He says, handing the man his flowers.
"Thanks dude. How much?"
"They're 10 dollars."
"Here, keep the change, and pray for me man!" He says, handing Clay a 20 dollar bill and speeding out the door.
"Thank you, and I will! Happy anniversary."
The bell rings. He's made quite a few tips in only the first hour of opening.
Customers kept coming in and out, until about 8:50pm when it was closing time. He spends the last 10 minutes watering his plants and picking out one to bring home.
9:00pm, Clay closed the whole shop down, and started heading out. He put his headphones on, turns all the lights off and starts walking home, and even though he loves his job, walking home is his favorite part of it all. The stars and moon shining, only a few city lights around every corner he goes around, he could do it all night.
He gets home, his cat Patches waiting patiently for him to open the door, ready to rub around his legs as soon as hes a step inside.
"Hi to you too Patches." He says, giggling and crouching down to pet the cat.
He leaves the flowers in a vase for his mom, and goes straight upstairs to his room, Patches following right behind.
He takes his stuff off, gets changed and plops right onto his bed. Patches jumps onto the bed, nuzzling right next to him. He opens his phone to text his friend, Nick. They've been friends for as long as one can remember, though they live far from one another.Clay - 10:47 PM
