Parking my car, I make my way to my destination aka flower shop. To buy flowers for my wifey. Right now she is on her weekly dance practice session so I am going to visit her with her favourite lavender.

The flower shop looks bigger, hope I find lavender here. "Excuse me, may I have a huge bouquet of fresh lavenders?" I say to the florist.
"We are really sorry sir, right now lavenders are out of stock.

I take off my Chanel sunglasses " What? Out of stock already? I came so early!". "Sir kindly accept our apology by choosing some other flowers, I am sure they won't disappoint you".

I look here and there, in the middle the florist excused himself to receive another customer who just arrived. He is wearing a grey suit, umm looking like he is in his late 20's but wait he looks so familiar.

I try to think but ignore it anyway because here I came to buy flowers for my wifey. What should I buy now? What else would she like except lavenders?

I flip back hair while being frustrated, wait let me just buy all of those bouquets! The florist looked busy with his new customer so I called another one "Excuse me! I want all the flowers in this shop" I pass him my black card but he is trying to process "Sir you want all the flowers in this shop?" he freaks out. It's not like I did this the first time lol.

But my attention is taken by the other florist "Sir, you want to purchase the entire shop's collection too?" he asks that man beside me. Wait what? Bro is stealing my ideas, I literally eye him hard and found him glancing at me as well.

Ignoring my presence, he slid his card as fast as he could while saying "Give me all the flowers". "No! give me. I was the one to give my card first" I argue, giving him a frustrated look.

"Excuse me? You gave the card 0.01 second after me" he arug back and what the actual fuck? Who even counts 0.01 second? My brow furrows hard "Who measures that 0.01 second?" ahh whatever. I turn my attention back to the florist "You, give me."

"No, I'm taking the flowers!" This mathematician turns to the florist in front of him, who maintains a strained smile. 100% fake smile.

"Don't listen to him. Give the flowers to me," of course Arav Zaid won't give up. But that stupid florist says something while making me mad. "I won't sell flowers to either of you. Kindly leave" what the hell? How dare he?!

"Excuse me? I'm here for flowers. How can you ask me to leave? Where's your manager? Get them here. I need to have a word about why I can't purchase flowers from this store." I burst. Does this man even know who the hell I am!

But this stupid florist crosses his arms and offers a sardonic smile to me. "I'm the owner of this shop". So what? I absolutely can buy the whole shop!

"Oops!" that man exclaims, making me more mad. I know dude is enjoying the moment. "I won't be selling you any flowers either. You should leave as well," the shop owner states, casting a brief glance at his direction.

Oh god! I literally burst into laughter, as I am not getting flowers, so you will not as well. I stop laughing as the shop owner gives an eye "Leave" I- he told me to leave? I am in a good mood today, otherwise I would have blown his shop.

That man steps out of the store, I go behind him "I couldn't buy those flowers all because of you!" I glares. "I was set to grab those flowers first, but thanks to you, I couldn't," he shoot back, giving me a stern look.

"And why would a little kid like you need so many flowers? Focus on your studies," I literally choke on the air. Who is he calling little kid!? "Excuse me?" "You're excused," he responds, not even bothering to look at me.
