His Personal Florist

The Contract

A sudden burst of laughter echoed the café. James was laughing his lungs out, tears rolling from the end of his eyes.

I was shocked.

Is this man for real?

I gazed at him with furrowed eyes.

"Do you really believe I will kill that little rat of a boyfriend of yours?" he said failing to suppress his laughter.

My jaw dropped to the floor.

"You are such a moron James. How could you...?" I threw the napkin lying on the table as he held his stomach laughing out again.

Fine I am done with this insane man!

I stood up from my chair to leave this obnoxious man with snorting laughter.

"Hey wait! I am sorry. You know I was kidding sweetheart. Sit. Let's talk." he said trying to appear composed.

Giving him a stern warning look, I sat back at my place.

" So, you agreeing to my proposal right?"

"Is this the only way with us?" I asked in hope.

"For now, yes. One and the only way." he said leaning back on his chair.

"Okay then. Deal." I sighed finally giving up.

I have no idea how all this arrangement is going to work out. But the smell of the coming days is not pleasant at all.

"Great then. Come to my office tomorrow morning. I will get the contract papers ready by then."

"Contract?"

"Yes. A contract kitten. We will sign a contract that will mention all the terms we have agreed upon." he said nonchalantly.

"Fine. I will come then. So can I leave if we are done with this discussion?"

"And one more thing. You wont work in that flower shop anymore."

"What? But Why?"

My eyes narrowed at his statement.

What the hell he thinks of himself? Who is he to take that decision?

I was fuming with anger.

"Look Mr. Flamingo I know we both are stuck in this awkward situation with your grace but you have no right to take any decision related to me or my life. I am your fake girlfriend. Please don't forget the fact."

My words were stern as I stressed upon the fake word to get it through his thick head.

"Exactly kitten. that's my point. To the world you are my girlfriend. James Flamingo's girlfriend. There will be people after you all the time. Catching all your moves. Every step of yours will be in the lime light. and I don't want you to flutter around with your cute ass in that flower shop." he said with his signature smirk.

Aghhh! this man is getting on my nerves each passing second.

Wait! Did he just call my ass cute?

I was about to turn and look down at my ass but suddenly stop as realization hit me and I mentally hit myself hard on my thick head for  it.

As I looked up James was already looking at me with raised eyebrows.

"Do I even have a choice?" I almost pouted in annoyance.

"Of course not" he chuckled.

We both sipped the last of our coffee in complete silence stealing tiny gazes here and there.

"So shall we leave?" he asked taking out his hand for me.

Looking at his hand for a few seconds, I got up from my chair not loosing the eye contact.

"See you tomorrow Mr. James Flamingo" I smirked at him and left the café leaving a dumbstruck James behind.

This brute needs to learn not all girls fin the world would fall for his charm.

"So you are telling me that you, you Evelyn Stewart rejected an extended hand of the Greek god himself?" she fake sighed resting her hand over her heart.

I rolled my eyes for the nth time on Liza's over exaggerated interpretation of that one simple moment.

"For the 50th time Liz I am asking you to stop this mellow drama of yours else I will call up Andrew and tell him you are swooning over some other man here. That too all desperate."

"You are so mean Eve" she pouted as I smiled at her childish behavior.

"I wont be working at Mrs. Johnson's shop anymore. That was the only source of my income Liz. I don't know how many days I can survive with my little savings" I sighed.

"All will be fine baby. You will always find me by your side. No matter what." Liz tried to comfort me hugging me tight in her arms.

"I know Liz" I smiled at her shoulder.

That's the best thing about Liza. No matter as much childish she is in general but in situations like these she is by my side like a sister, as my support.

I wish life could always be this happy and simple !!
