"Good morning ladies.. " her mom greeted Leanna and Alicia. I greeted them too. " Good morning Ernestine , good morning Samantha ." Leanna greeted them back . Looking swiftly at them . She was cutting the edges of the flower that the customers requested. They had limited delivery , reasons that their flower stores are full of people , because customers interact with them .

This was the life of her Mom , she grows knowing that her mother was a florist. It was the family' business . Before her grandparents died, in her Mother side , they passed the legacy to her mother.

Her mom was loving it for she had also known the business when she was young, that's why she had expertise in dealing with customers looking for flowers. It was safe to buy flowers from a local florist because you know where your flowers coming from .

Even if the florist don't grow their own flowers , they can tell you where they bought them. Local florist takes pride in what they do. They care about their products . And that was Mom , Samantha thought smiling . She was very proud of her Mom and Dad.

" Miss , do you arranged decor for special events..?" Samantha almost jump at the sound of a baritone man , who was asking behind her. She turned swiftly to looked at the man . The man was tall , he looked tough with a mustache and a scar on the side of he's left eye ..

" Good morning sir,." she smiled at the man , to cover her surprise.

"What special occasion could that be.? " She asked the man . Samantha could tell , that the man was over thirty years old . Just her guess.

" Oh , for a family 's funeral ." there was fire in his eyes as he told her. Samantha's skin crawl. She widened her eyes in schock. She couldn't form a sentence to reply. What the hell this man was talking about ? She thought to herself.

" What.. do you mean ,. by that" ? Samantha was trying to call her Mom , Leanna or Alicia, but each of them are busy attending customers.

The man could see that she was kind of afraid. He smiled at her. " I'm just kidding ?" "lt's actually for a wedding event. . " He told her. Samantha' was relieved . She smiled back at him . " Yes , that's what my Mom does.. !" She beamed with pride .

Samantha thought , she could see the man's eyes glisten with the information she's been telling him.

" Great , can I have your number .. I'm going to call you for further instructions.." He looked at his wristwatch. " Wait , I'm going to give you a calling card.. " She was about to go to the cashier's booth, to get the calling card .. But the man said,

" No need , I know that this flower store belongs to the Cruz family right .?" The man asked to be certain.

Samantha' was aware that a lot of people recognized her mom's or the family's flower store . The shop offers qualities and fresh flowers , customization and flower arrangements decoration. Although , they have limited delivery , nevertheless , the shop are popular.

" Yes.." she answered him . " Very well,. perhaps you could give me your number instead . " Samantha was looking at him intently. The man seemed to be thinking thoroughly. " You see, it was important for us, I meant me , to organize this special occasion . I don't want to jeopardize the plan " He shrugged his shoulders. " So, it should be better to call the owner itself right ..for details. ". He was looking at his wristwatch again.

Samantha understand that he was in a hurry . She obliged to give him her number . After all , it was for business purposes. Maybe she could make an exemption., to give her personal contact number, instead , of the phone number that was supposedly on the calling card.

The man was thankful and promised to give her a call for the special occasion he's been telling her.

The whole morning was busy attending the customers and booking for more orders . Scheduled flower decors arrangements and customization.

Samantha was busy tending with the booking of orders . She was not aware of someone approach from behind her and cover her eyes with his hands. " Guess who..!? " She knows very well, who could it be. His scent was something that she used to smell every single day . " Oh hi , love ." She spun to her right to face him . " Kenneth .."

Kenneth hugged her and gave her a peek kiss on her lips. She hugged him back .

" What's up .. ," she asked her boyfriend. " Oh, perhaps you should check your phone? " he told her. ". Bet , it was on silent mode again.. I've been calling you nonstop .." he said. " Why ?" Her phone was in silent mode alright, a habit she does when she was busy and working . She hate to be disturbed .

She checked her phone and saw the missed calls of Kenneth.. lots of missed calls . She knitted her eyebrows , when she saw an unfamiliar number has called too. She brushed it aside and focus her attention to her boyfriend .

Kenneth raised his eyebrows to her. " Oh crap , crap ,.crap .. that was today ..?". She forgot that they're going to see a movie in a cinema theater. " Wow , you seemed to be forgotten something that was related to me !?"He faked hurt and touched he's chest as if he was hurting. She laughed.

" Oh, I'm sorry .. it was almost lunch time . The movie would start at 1:30 in the afternoon , isn't it .? I'll ask Mom that were going to see a movie after lunch. "' She squeezed his hands. " I'll take you to lunch , I'm going to ask Aunt Ernestines permission. " he guided her gently to her Mom , who was still busy with the flower arrangements.

Kenneth Mendoza was a close family friend to the Cruz. He belongs to a family of physicians. Her parents are both Doctor , that must be the reason her boyfriend would also pursue medicine. They were actually childhood sweetheart . But they were officially in a relationship when she turned eighteen last January ., that was two months ago .

At first , she was hesitant to tell her parents about their relationship . It was Kenneth who was very vocal and open about their relationship to her family.

" I would tell Aunt Ernestine and Uncle David about us, Sam . I'm not afraid of them because my intention right from the start is pure. I love you very much . "

She remembered Kenneth confessed his feelings towards her.

She knows , that the man was head over heels in love with him . He spoiled her with stuff and things that would make her happy. He was seriously regarding their relationship . She was overwhelmed by his attention.

Samantha was contemplating whether to tell him about her scholarship abroad or she would keep it a secret , for now. "

"Hey , are you okay .?" Kenneth asked her. They are sitting at MacDonald waiting for their order and would eat their meals before going to a movie. She was glad her mom was busy when the asked her permission. She hadn't time to tease her. She finds it awkward , if her parents teased her about Kenneth. It was annoying.

" Of course, why you asked..?" she asked him back. "You seemed to be thinking deeply." he answered her.

" Do I look like I'm thinking deeply to you.?" She asked him.

" A ha . .was something bothering you Sam ? " He asked him gently. " The server serves their order . "Thanks .." They said together., thanking the service crew.

" Hmmm.,Ken,.." She started eating her cheeseburger.

' Yes ." Ken was eating his quarter pounder with cheese bacon.

' I'm going to college.."

Kenneth burst into laughter , he almost choked laughing at her. He hurriedly drink his soda. " Oh my God, aren't all ? " He was referring to all their classmates in Senior High. He meant to say everyone will go to college. " You , silly.." he was messing her hair.

" Hey ,.." Samantha warned him . she hated it when someone was touching her hair let alone . tousled it. " You're lucky you were my boyfriend or else . " she trailed off.

" Hmmn , why .. what will you do to me huh ..? He was now flinching the bridge of her nose . She leaned forward to him. " Ken , you need to stop, they were looking at us ." She whisper- yelled at him . She was not comfortable with the public display of affection or PDA .

" You know you're cute , when you blush". He kissed the back of her hand. Samantha rolled her eyes. Kenneth was laughing loudly. Oh boy !

" I'm serious Ken , I'm going to college.." she looked at him seriously. Kenneth grinned , but what Samantha was about to say, was something he never expected.

" I had been applying scholarship abroad ., and luckily , they let me in! " She told him , looking away. " Are you kidding me .?!" Kenneth asked her incredulously.

"No.." was her short reply. " What the hell Samantha' ,what were you thinking ? What is wrong with the country's educational system..!?"

"Nothing.." she replied quickly.

" Then , what is wrong with you ..!?" You could have enrolled in U.P ,! You still have to take Political Science , before you proceed to take up Law .! " Kenneth was raising his voice .

She sighed . Kenneth was like her mom . She understood their reaction , that it was the love and concern for her. Could be the reason they were against of her decision. She touched her temple. This was hard than she expected.
