With a smile on his face, Flip circled the aisles of his local supermarket on the hunt for the prefect ingredients for tonight's dinner. He knew Marco and Fran were like your family, so he knew he had to impress. Flip stopped when he stood in front of the fresh flowers they had on display... he wondered if you'd ever received a nice bouquet. So he decided he'd stop by the florist on his way home and surprise you with a nice arrangement to put in your room. He displayed a smug grin from then on until he got back in the truck and set off to the little flower shop down the street.
Flip felt somewhat out of place walking into the small boutique in his brown and green flannel and cowboy boots. The nice lady behind the counter must have recognised him as a Colorado Viking and made sure to give him service with a smile.
"What can I get you today Sir?" She approached him, noticing his somewhat confused expression as he took in the array of flowers available.
"I'm looking for something for my gir- friend. For my friend. A surprise" he explained.
"And do you know what they like? Colours they like maybe?"
"Huh I'm not sure." Flip had never been more out of his depth. Elizabeth was easy she liked red roses and that was that. But you didn't seem like a classic red rose kind of person... not to Flip anyways. Maybe you would like rose too or maybe something more unique. His eyes wandered round the store until they caught onto an arrangement at the back, it was darker and pretty and he instantly knew it was very you.
"I'll take that one" he said pointing to the wild bouquet with a mixture of dried and fresh flowers and types of foliage. He was happy with his choice - the arrangement suited you well.
Soon enough he was pulling back into his gravelled drive way and heading into the house with a spring in his step. "Y/N I'm home!" Flip called through the house, but to his dismay there was no answer. He dropped the bags on top of the kitchen counter and began searching the house desperately. "Sweetheart?" He called again but you were no where to be seen.
His mind filled with worry, immediately reaching for his phone to call you. The phone rang but soon enough he heard the same ring throughout his house. Your phone was sat on the couch vibrating. His name and photo flashing up on the screen.
He sat down and wondered where you had gone... without telling him. Perhaps you'd gone for a walk or a jog? Maybe Fran had asked you to go to her house? Maybe you were at the rink.
Maybe you were at Landers apartment. He hoped you would have been so stupid to go on your own.
There was nothing he could do but wait until you returned.
