Solarballs- Breathless

Saturns Blessing

Saturn gently hummed as opened his inbox. An amber card fell out of the box falling onto the ground. "Huhm?" Saturn gently bent down and grabbed the card with two of his fingers.

"Who would mail me a card? Especially in my work inbox. I usually get emails on the computer." Saturn flipped the card around. "Ah! Jupiter?" He tapped his index finger against his name.

"I wonder why he would send me a letter, could it either be a bill or maybe some paperwork I left?" Saturn looked around and sat down on a bench nearby. He knew he was supposed to be clocking out.

Saturn looked at the card and picked at the tape that was on it. He opened the card and happily took out the paper that was inside. He was extremely happy to see that it wasn't some old crummy paper but a fancy decorated paper.

"A note!" Saturn opened it and started to read.

"Dear Saturn, I know you check your inbox after work, and wanted to ask you on a second date, I reserved an area for a picnic at Kuiper Park. I attached an address to this piece of paper!" As Saturn read the last words, he gently chuckled.

"I can tell how nervous he is through the card. I wish he knew how much I loved him. He's clearly oblivious to all the signs I've given him." Saturn got up and placed the card into his purse. He went to the workplace door and hit the clock-out button for himself.

"I have an hour before we are supposed to meet! Maybe I could get some flowers for him." Saturn smiled walking to a nearby store, he pushed the door in.

It rang a bell as he walked inside. "Good Morning! Is there anything I can help you with?" Proxima Centauri asked. Proxima was a manager for a massive store chain. Saturn smiled at the star. "Hello! Are there any fresh flowers for sale, in a bouquet if possible."

Saturn walked over to him happily smiling. He wanted to get in and out of the store as quickly as possible, just so Jupiter wouldn't have to wait on him.

"Of course, over here we have some Red Tulips!" Proxima nodded guiding Saturn over the gardening section. Saturn looked at the beautiful flowers and plants.

"Do you guys sell flowers often?" Saturn asked, looking over at the star. "It's something we don't sell often, but some of the employees like to take care of them." Proxima put his hands together and opened the Tulip crate. "You can pick one you like and then I'll lock it back up."

Saturn nodded and looked at the tulips. "I like this one!" Saturn picked out the bouquet and held it in his hand. "Alright, that's a good choice!" Proxima shut the crate and locked it with a key.

Saturn happily walked to a self-checkout center after waving bye to Proxima. He scanned the flowers and paid with his card.

"Alright, now I can make my way over to Kuiper Park. Hopefully, Jupiter will like the red tulips!" Saturn walked out of the store waving to an employee and putting the flowers to his chest.

Saturn took a scenic route as he walked to the park. He walked across the sidewalk and looked around in the park for Jupiter. "Maybe he isn't here yet." Saturn looked at the tulips.

He glanced up to see Jupiter sitting down near a tree with a book. A red and white checkered picnic blanket under him. "Maybe I should get my eyesight checked–" Saturn shook his head as he walked over to Jupiter.

"You're here!" Jupiter said happily smiling. "What are the tulips for?" Jupiter softly flushed up. "They are for the most handsome gas giant in the galaxy." Saturn softly chuckled as he passed them over to him. Jupiter smiled, taking them and putting them down next to himself. "You know, that's really.. funny.. because I asked Titan if you had any favorite flowers. He told me you loved hydrangeas.
