I frowned at my phone screen as I made my way to the car. I had already done three trips to and from my new place and I still haven't heard from Jennie. I knew that she was at the gym but usually by her second set, she would've at least texted me twice about how much she hated the gym or made a joke about saving her from her strict trainer.
But she hasn't responded to my good morning text that I had sent hours ago. I didn't want to be that girl that overanalysed everything especially when I didn't know where I stood with her. I hopped into the driver's seat and started the engine. I was almost done moving all my stuff out of Jennie's place but the more trips I made, the more I found myself dragging my feet to actually finish moving. I didn't want to leave Jennie's place. I loved spending time with her and I missed her even though she was icing me out.
I knew I was wrong for making that comment. We should've talked about it but instead, I blocked our communication by storming off and sleeping in a different room that night and that just put a strain between us.
I drove towards Jennie's place again when the flower shop I bought flowers from before caught my eye. I jerked my steering wheel to the left, making a very illegal U-turn as incoming cars honked their horns at me, but I didn't care, this was an emergency.
I parked in front of the shop and turned off the ignition. I was going to buy her the biggest bouquet of roses as part of an apology. I pulled the door to the shop open and was immediately greeted by a worker.
"Back again?" she asked with a smile.
"Yeah." I scratched the back of my neck and smiled sheepishly, "You said that you had the best apology roses, right?"
She chuckled lightly, "You remembered?"
I winced, "I knew I was going to mess up at some point, so I made sure to remember."
She nodded, "Alright, give me one second. Let me just bring out different arrangements and pick the one you like." She disappeared into a backroom and I looked around the shop. I was never the type to apologize first especially because I had a lot of pride. But I was willing to put my pride aside to make sure that Jennie and I were good. If that isn't love, I don't know what is.
