Audrey watches Seymour as he was watering Audrey 2. Her eyes tracing his body as she did so, not even noticing it.

Mr mushnik glances over to Audrey and raises an eyebrow. He had a feeling something was going on between those two.

He had always suspected that Audrey had a crush on Seymour, and it seemed like his suspicions were correct.

But he didn't want to interfere, after all, they were both adults and it wasn't his place to get involved in their personal lives.

Audrey couldn't help but feel a rush of butterflies in her stomach whenever she looked at Seymour.

She had been working with him for years now, and she had always admired his intelligence and kind heart. But lately, she started to see him in a different light.

She noticed the way his muscles flexed as he lifted the watering can, and the way his lips curved into a smile when he talked about his plants.

She found herself daydreaming about what it would be like to be with him.

As she continued to watch him, Seymour suddenly turned towards her and caught her staring. She quickly looked away, feeling embarrassed.

But to her surprise, Seymour grinned and walked over to her.

"Is there something on your mind, Audrey?" he asked tilting his head to the left a little.

Audrey's heart raced as she tried to come up with a response. She couldn't tell him the truth, not yet.

But before she could say anything, Mr Mushnik interrupted them.
"Audrey, we have a customer. Go attend to them." he said sternly.

As Audrey walked away, she couldn't help but wonder if Seymour felt the same way about her. And as she served the customer, her mind was filled with thoughts of him.

She knew that she had to find a way to tell him how she felt. Maybe it was time to take a chance and see where their relationship could go.

Seymour runs his bandage covered fingers across Audrey 2 with a small smile curling up on his mouth. He loved his plants.

But what he loved more... Was Audrey. She was the one he wanted. He just couldn't tell her not yet... But... By the way she looks at him.. maybe.. just maybe... She liked him back?....

....no. why would someone like her love something like him?

Audrey was everything Seymour was nothing...

She was beautiful, confident, and full of life.

She had a contagious energy that drew people in, while Seymour was shy and reserved, always hiding in the shadows.

He couldn't understand why someone like her would ever be interested in someone like him.

But as he got to know her, he realized that Audrey saw something in him that he couldn't see in himself.

She saw past his awkwardness and insecurities and instead saw his kind heart and gentle nature.

She didn't care about his appearance or his lack of charm, she loved him for who he was.

Seymour couldn't help but wonder why someone as amazing as Audrey would like him.

Audrey smiles as she watches the man she served leave the shop with a sigh of relief as it was finally closing time.
She rubs her eyes careful not to smear her makeup.

Seymour walked over to the door and shut it locking it soon afterwards.

His vision blurs as he leans against the door.

Feeding the plant with his blood was taking a toll on him but it was necessary for the survival of his business.

With the plant's help, Seymour's business had been thriving and it had become a busy place.

As he caught his breath, Seymour looked over at the plant with a mixture of gratitude and fear.

It was a strange and mysterious creature, with large, vibrant green leaves and a thick, twisting stem.

But it was also a dangerous and unpredictable creature, with a thirst for blood that could never be quenched.

Seymour knew that he had to be careful in his interactions with the plant.

It was a delicate balance, providing it with just enough blood to keep it alive and producing the valuable substance, but not too much that it would become uncontrollable.

But despite the risks, Seymour couldn't deny the success that the plant had brought him.

It had helped him build his business from the ground up and had given him a life of luxury that he never could have imagined.

long as the plant was helping his business, he was willing to do whatever it took to keep it alive.

Audrey notices Seymour looked pale. He looked like he was about to pass out.

Concern filled her eyes as she rushes to his side and lifts his face up by his chin.
"Seymour?.... Are you alright?"

Seymour opens his eyes to look at her his vision still blurred but he knew who it was.
"I uh..."
"Here.." she uses her free hand to fix Seymours glasses makeing them straight once again.

"There.. much better." She smiles and rubs her thumb over his cheek.

"Uh.... Seymour..."
"Yes Audrey?" Audrey moves her hand off his chin and bites her lip.
"Can I..."

Mr mushnik looks at the two and moves past them to get out the door.
"I'll see you two tomorrow."

The two stop what they are doing and part away just until mr mushnik was out of sight then they looked back at eachother giveing the other one a small smile.

"Seymour.. do you.. like me?" She asks after a few seconds of silence...

She moves closer... placeing a hand on his cheek.

Seymour's mouth parts in shock as he looks at her.

She liked him back....

She liked him...

Him...

Why him?...

"I uh... Uh- y-yes I do! But.. wh-why would you like me I.. I don't-"
"It's ok... Here..." She moves her face closer to him.

Seymour looks at her his eyes widening as he nose bruses past hers and their lips connected.

Audrey felt Seymours face get hotter makeing her smile into the kiss. It was so gentle. He didn't kiss like Orin... His kiss was soft.. it was nice... It wasn't forced upon her.

She could tell he had never kissed a girl before but it didn't make this moment any less valuable.

His lips were so soft and the both of them didn't want this to end. However. The sound of a motorcycle made the both of them pull back and freeze up.

Orin was here...

"I-ill get my things." Audrey says as she rushes off.

Seymour stares at Audrey his eyes widened from the events that just happened. He hadn't even noticed Orin walk in. He hadn't even noticed he still had lipstick on his mouth.

"Hey I know you!" Orin says with a smile as he grabs onto Seymours collar, but the smile on his face quickly dissapears as he saw lipstick on Seymours mouth. He knew who's lipstick it was.

"What is this huh?" Seymour could see the anger and his heart drops.

Oh no...
