AceSabo - Flower Shop

Chapter 10 - Mimosa

After that, nothing much changed with the two of us. I decided not to bother with even the question of if we were dating or not. It bothered me, but I knew he wouldn't answer it fully. I sighed as I stared at the whiteboard that had a screen projected onto it. What class was I in again? I ruffled my hair in frustration. Focus, Ace! Focus!

At this moment, I had one major goal. Graduate. Once I graduate, he'll answer me properly. It's not like I wouldn't be able to graduate at this point, but a better grade would look nice to colleges. What was I doing for college anyways though... Something... A good job. I needed to get a good job to get a good pay. I can help him out-

I stared at the pencil on my desk quietly. Again, I was getting distracted by the thoughts of him. The bell soon rang and the other students all started moving. The teacher stated out the homework, then packed his things as well to go. I just sat there quietly for a while until my phone made a sound.

"Who is texting me," I mumbled as I turned to take my phone out of my bag. I looked at the screen, then sighed. Unlocking my phone, I started to reply back. In the middle of that, my phone vibrated, telling me someone was calling. I quickly picked up for some reason in panic. "Y-yo?"

"What's with that greeting? What are you doing? How has he been," she asked me. I let out a breath as I sat myself back in my chair.

"He's been good. Oh, I'm still at school. If you called any sooner, I would have had my phone taken," I replied. It was her. The poor girl that was caught in between my idiocy.

I heard a soft laugh from my phone. "I get off at the same time you do, so I message and call then," she said to me. There was silence for a bit before she began talking again. "I'm glad you have been well."

"Same- well, to you. Have you found someone better yet," I asked.

"Stop saying things like 'better,' you idiot," she sighed. We talked for some time. I had gotten up and headed out as we were talking. I forgot how long it has been. The two of us still talk and text each other, but not for the same things. We also don't meet constantly either. She hadn't found anyone else yet. I wished she did. Someone good for her... Then, she can forget about me.

I tapped the call off and looked across the street. What was I going to do today... Today, he said he was going to sleep in because he was exhausted. Is that how running your own business can be like? I shrugged and glanced at the white light, indicating to me that I can cross the street.

Now, I guess the question was what will I do today? I stepped onto the street and walked along to the other side. Should I go barge into his house? Stepping onto the sidewalk, I sighed. I definitely would if I could, but his place wasn't in a good area. Also, i only went there once, so I didn't know where that was. I should have asked him... Then again, that doesn't seem like a question he would answer to. He wouldn't want me wandering around there alone. Another sigh came from me as I made my way some where.

I took out my phone and stared at the bubbles. The contacts bubble popped when I tapped it and a full list of names came up. I scrolled down until I got to the name with no last name. "Sabo," I murmured.

I took a deep breath and opened a message to him. The chat was blank. I never messaged him before. How I knew he was not going to work today was because he told me yesterday. I see him most days and he tells me about the days he would be busy. So, I would never need to message him about it. Though... I wonder why we don't message more. What would I message him about?

My brain started to hurt, thinking of what I would message him about. I would save up all my stories of the day to tell him when I go to his shop. Then, I would think of other things to talk about or maybe he does too. We talk, talk ,talk, and talk until he tell me that it's late. I help him close down, then we say our goodbyes and head home.
