Freen.



I woke up feeling refreshed. I looked at the clock and it's 10 in the morning. I was about to panic but then remembered I don't have work today. So I got up and fix the bed smiling.

I went to the bathroom and started to prepare for the day. After stepping out of the shower, I changed into a t-shirt and a jogging pants then started to blowdry my hair. After a few minutes, I went down to the kitchen. I noticed there was a note on the fridge:

How cute her note is. I look closely and noticed she really did kissed the paper. I took my phone and took a picture of it. When I turned off the screen I noticed on my reflection that I was smiling. This girl made me smile even for just little things. The 'me' a year ago would cringe if I saw myself like this.

I did reheat the food and had some coffee. After eating and washing the dishes, I open the door towards the shop just a little bit to peek. There were a lot of people and I don't think 3 people is enough to accommodate them all everyday.

I closed the door and called May to request at HR two more staff and another security guard for the shop. I also said I need it asap. After hanging up the call I checked myself in the mirror. I didn't put any make up at all but I still looked decent.

I took a deep breath before I went outside. I went straight to the counter to where Becky was. She looked surprised specially when I kissed her on the cheek and said: "Good Morning baby."

I then notice the room went silent. I looked at my right everyone was looking at us.

I whispered to Becky: "Where do you want me?"

"Cashier. I'll tell you the amount."

"Okay boss." I smiled at her. As I went behind her, I lightly brushed my hand on her butt. I know no one could see it but she looked as if she's afraid someone might. I mouthed while covering the side of my mouth. ''They can't see. The counter's high enough.''

She just gave me a 'talk to you later' look, shook her head and then continued on what she's doing. A staff went over to me along with a customer.

"Morning Ms. Sarocha."

"Cal me Freen... Morning uhmm..." I looked at her waiting for her to say her name.

"It's Mindy. Uhm... A bouquet of daisies for this lovely young lady." She said pertaining to the old lady beside her.

"Oh stop it. I'm too old for that. They're for my son who had a bike accident but he's okay now. Thank God."

"I'm glad he's okay. Good choice of flower there." I said though I had no idea about flowers.

"Thanks. This young woman here helped me. I just learned that each flower has it's meaning."

"Don't worry me either. I just learned from this lovely lady here." I said pointing beside me.
