Liam now looked forward to Zayn's weekly visits. In these short brief visits, the mysterious boy revealed that his name was Zayn and that his finance's name was Perrie. Sometimes, Zayn would also mumble about how even though he and Perrie had matching symbols he felt as if something was wrong. But Liam didn't think that he was supposed to hear that so he pretended to not hear Zayn. On Wednesdays he began to set aside arrangements that he thought Zayn Perrie would like. It was routine really, every Wednesday Zayn would stroll into his shop, mumble a greeting, look at the flowers, buy the one he liked best and leave.
Seeing Zayn was definitely the highlight of Liam's boring week. So it's no surprise that late one Wednesday night Liam was feeling a little sad, because Zayn hadn't shown up and it was time to close up shop.
Liam was locking the door when he heard a frantic "Wait, wait!" He turned to see Zayn walking hand in hand with a beautiful girl. "How dare you lock up without me?" Zayn joked as Liam reopened the store. Liam opened his mouth to banter back, but was cut off by her. "This place better be amazing for you to be able to steal my husband away every Wednesday night" Liam wanted to inform her that her and Zayn weren't married yet, but instead he bit his tongue and opened the door with a flourish letting the couple in. Perrie was so unlike Zayn. She flitted from flower to flower only spending seconds on each one before moving onto something better, while Zayn, on the other hand, stared at each flower like he was looking into its soul before moving on to the next one and doing the same.
Zayn followed behind Perrie silently nodding when he was supposed to and being the model husband. "Flower boy" Perrie snapped at Liam snapping him out of his observations. "His name is Liam" Zayn whispered so low Liam almost couldn't hear him and he knew for sure that she didn't hear him.
"We want these." Perrie said thrusting a banquet of pale pink roses into his face. "What a perfect choice." Liam replied forcing a smile onto his face. Zayn tried to pay for the flowers, but Liam wouldn't let him. Finally, after Liam convinced Zayn to leave with the flowers, he watched them exit his store with a heavy heart and a sense of longing.
