Plot Twist

Chapter 19

"We're leaving! Stay safe!" Mom yelled downstairs as she closed the front door with a slight bang.

I sighed to myself as I let myself drown in twitter. Another boring day.

Iñigo

"Okay, calm down. You can do this Iñigo, just stay focused and be yourself. " I whispered to myself as I tightly gripped the steering wheel on the way to Dianne's house.

I remembered I had to get her something so I stopped by at the nearest flower shop.

"Good day, young man" A kind old lady at the counter of the flower shop greeted me. I greeted her back with a smile.

I was scanning the flowers all around me when there was a voice that almost shocked me. "For a lover?" The old lady, suddenly beside me, asked.

"Not yet. Maybe soon" I smiled to myself and she nodded.

"Trying to win her huh?" She asked and I muttered a simple yes.

"None of these out here will do you any good, then" she said.

She then disappeared to the back room and came out with a bouquet of freshly picked daisies.

"This should do the trick. Nothing screams out young love more than daisies" she smiled at me as she handed me the bouquet.

I thanked her and we then proceeded to the counter to pay.

"I don't mean to be of disturbance, but you seem like an interesting man. Not one I'd think of as still single. Is she hard to get?" She asked slowly. "You could put it that way. She's my best friend" I said and she nodded hesitantly.

"Isnt that kind of dangerous?" She said. "Why so?"

"You could either be with her forever or lose your friendship that you both know you can't let go of." The kind old lady said.

I froze for a second and realized that she's right. This move I'm about to make can either make us or break us. I'd have to take the risk.

But Dianne is worth the risk.

"Yes po. I understand. But I'm willing to do anything just to be with her. She's amazing." I answered. "I understand, young love works like that nowadays? Good luck young man." The old lady smiled at me and I nodded back.

I then got in the car to "Lucky" playing. Great.

I was driving to Dianne's place when I saw a car approaching Dianne's house too... Who could that be?

Liam

"Dianne! I'm back! No not like that, um... Hey Dianne how are you I just want to- ugh no seems to straight forward.  Ugh" I groaned to myself as I drove slower.

So many things were running on my mind, I almost forgot that I had to stop by a flower shop.

I stopped at a little flower shop at the side of road and was greeted by a smiling lady.

"How may I help you today?" She smiled.

"I'm looking for flowers that would be perfect for this girl.." I started off. "What flowers specifically? We have a wide range" she said.

"I don't know what exactly but all I know is that she deserves the best because she just... She makes me happy, she's my biggest source of positivity and I don't know where I'd be if I didn't meet her. She's also very rare and fragile to me. She's just the reason I smile even wider everyday and- sorry, I'm rambling" I laughed nervously and the lady just chuckled.

"She seems lovely. And very important to you too. Very valuable and fragile. Hmm. Just wait here, sir" The lady said and I just stood there as she disappeared into the back.

"Here!" She yelled as she came back with a bouquet of sunflowers in her hand.

"Sunflowers! Of course. Just like the sun. Like the sunshine. My sunshine. She's my sunshine." I smiled at the bouquet and we went to the counter to pay.

"I hope you don't mind me asking but, is she your girlfriend?" The lady asked. "Um.. No. Not yet. I guess..." I answered. Her eyes searched mine and she laughed.

"Really? But you describe her as if you're married. It's beautiful, Liam" she says and my eyes widened. "You know who I am?" I asked, shock. "Of course I do. You're from that band..." She smiled and I smiled back.

"Now go get her and make me proud because I gave you those flowers" she joked. "Yes I will" I smiled and we bid our goodbyes.

I then got into the car and drove to Dianne's place with "Stay With Me" playing. Ugh.

I was approaching Dianne's house when I see a car, driving at the same pace as me, approach Dianne's house too. Who is that?
