Rita lifted her face slowly to him. "Flowe- Archuu!"
The guy sighed in relief immediately he heard the elevator chime.
"I'm...gonna be leaving" He stuttered aa he hurriedly left the Elevator.
Rita sat down on the elevator still sneezing helplessly. "That Jerk" She muttered.
"Why did he leave me on my own!! He could have helped me!" Rita snorted loudly looking around.
"Where's that goddamn flowers!!" She cussed under her breath.
"Oh Goodness!" She sniffed standing up gently. Rita looked around.
"What's this?" She questioned to herself puzzled.
"Why did I stop sneezing?,,Is that Invisible Flower gone?....This is so weird" She shook her head before stepping out of the elevator.

"Yay!!!" Chelsea shouted as she hurried to Rita.
"Thank you b**ch" She winked taking the black polythene bag from her.
"Now Rita, Let's party all night-
"No. I think I'm gonna pass" Rita muttered, shaking her head.
"Wh..What?, Why? Weren't you the one that said we would have a party?" Chelsea frowned.
"I am sick" Was all Rita could mutter. She kept on sniffing and breathing hard.
"Hey, You okay?" Chelsea noticed her, properly now. She slowly dropped the bag on the table and walked to her face.
"What's wrong?" She asked now looking worried. She saw how sick Rita's face was, and she didn't like it.
"I don't know. I think-
"Flowers? You saw Flowers?" Chelsea eyes bulged out. She already knew the reason since they were close and best friends.
"No...I didn't"
"Then what's wrong with you?"
"I don't know. I just started sneeezing down at the Elevator"
"Why? Did someone put flowers in there"
"I doubt"
"Goodness. You look really sick. Seems you've been sneezing like forever"
Rita nodded. Chelsea sighed and took the back of her palm to her forehead.
"Ouch!!" Chelsea exclaimed
"Rita, Your temperature has gone over boiling point!!... Come over here. Lay down"
Rita obeyed and laid down on the sofa. Chelsea brought out a duvet and carefully wrapped it around her vibrating body.
"Hold on. I'm gonna go get drugs for you. Also, I might check around in the elevator incase I see flowers"
"Sure. Thank you Chelsea" Rita smiled whispering.
"Don't mention. Just rest okay? Besides, You've done a lot for me. You allowed me,.stay at your place then, despite not knowing me fully well"
"You needed help then. I couldn't just walk past you. Seeing you walk with your luggages that day in the rain with no place to stay troubled me. I'm glad i took you in. You are the best girl friend ever"
Chelsea smiled. "Rest Babe. You don't want me blushing all night"
"Okay then. Go on, I'm gonna be waiting" Rita nodded. Chelsea waved at her, wore her slippers and walked out, through the door.
Chelsea went into the elevator which took her downstairs in no time.
Surprisedly, She saw no flowers. The elevator opened and Chelsea began to run out of it, then out of the huge premises.
She slowed down a bit when her eyes caught with a Young Handsome Guy who had a blue and black headphone around his neck. He was guiding his bicycle as he walked.
Chelsea smiled and stood abruptly. "Damn...It's the Cutie" She whispered to herself.
Chelsea gulped hard immediately she saw him walk towards her.
"Hi" He stared at her while talking calmly.
Chelsea smiled, almost blushing. "Hello"
"I'm your new neighbor right?" He smiled.
Chelsea nodded "I saw you and the Hottie- Chelsea gasped.
"I mean I saw you and your....who is he?"
"The one you saw me with earlier, packing in?" He asked.
Chelsea just nodded.
"He's my brother" He replied exposing his white set of teeth.
He smiled so cute that it made Chelsea lost in thought.
"Oh my. Such a Cutie" She blurted without realization.
"Pardon?" He looked at her with widened eyes.
"Huh?? No....Uhmmm...I'm your new neighbor, I saw you and your brother moving in then" She tittered.
Chelsea felt so embarrassed already.
"Yeah, You were the one I saw then. I was having my doubts. Please, I wanna ask. Where can I drop my bicycle?"
Chelsea took her eyes to the black and purple bicycle before her. It looked good, no doubt.
"You can keep it outside here" She pointed at a space.
"No" He chuckled.
"Why not?" She raised her brows.
"I treasure this so much. Don't you have a garage h-
"Treasure?" Chelsea scoffed, cutting him off.
"Eh?" He folded his lips, as he brought his face closer.
"Why? Did your girlfriend get it for you?"
"Excuse me?"
"Yes, You heard it right. Girlfriend!. She bought for you huh?" Chelsea folded her arms gazing at him.
"I don't know what you're talking. I don't have a girlfriend"
"Huh?" Chelsea found herself smiling.
"You don't have a girlfriend?"
"Yup...Never dated before too" He scratched his head quite embarrassed.
"Me too!!" She gushed filled with smiles.
"I guess we are alike after all" He chuckled.
"Yeah. What's your name by the way?" She blinked her eyes.
"Dan" He replied.
"Nice. I'm Chelsea. Nice to meet you" She brought her arm forward for an handshake.
"Nice to meet you as well" He accepted the handshake.
"So, How old are you. 23?" She smiled breaking the handshake. Dan smiled.
"Do I look 23?" He asked with a smile still on his face.
"You look young though but not younger than me. I'm 22" She smiled.
"Well, I'm 21"
"Huh?" She widened her eyes in surprise.
"Hope I didn't shock y-
"Oh no! Rita! I forgot! We are gonna chat later. Bye!" She suddenly remembered.
She waved to him and left quickly.
"Huh? Wait...What of the garage? Oh, Well" Dan shrugged his shoulders as he slowly walked into the elevator.

Dan got down from it as soon the elevator took him upstairs. He slowly opened the door and pushed the bicycle inside.
"You're late" He heard a voice. He looked and met his brother who looked much older than him. Our Hottie.
Dan smiled."You cooking?" He asked.
"Sure. No food for a lazy man they say"
"You're right" Dan chuckled.
"Your bicycle shouldn't be here" He frowned.
"Come on, Alfred. You know how much I cherish this item. Do this for me, huh? Please, Let me keep it here" Dan said, acting cute.
"You can" Alfred laughed.
"Thanks Bro. You're the best!"
"I know right"
"Oh, Dan!!"
"Yes Bro?"
"Hunhh? Did you see a weird girl?"
"Weird?"
"Yeah...She kept sneezing out spittles like some freak" Alfred shrugged his shoulders.
"Nah. I didn't meet any so called Weird Freak" Dan replied laughing.
"Okay then" Alfred nodded. He tasted the stew by putting a little on his hand with the huge spoon.
"If you say so" He added.
"Geez!!!" Alfred screamed loudly.
"What's wrong?" Dan nearly jumped.
"I forgot the ketchup at my old place. That is one of the important ingredient needed for the completion of the meal. Damn!!"
"Huh..I can help you get it if you don't mind" Dan smiled.
"No...I just need a little" Alfred shook his head.
"I'm gonna bring it tomorrow. We still have few things to take out from our old place, you know?"
"You're right" Dan agreed.
"So, What are you gonna do now? Cook it that way?" Dan questioned
"Hello No!" Alfred exclaimed.
"Huh? But we have no Ketchup" Dan confusedly looked at him.
"Yeah. But we've got Neighbors. That weird Sneezing Girl lives next door"
"Oh...Should I go ask her for some?" Dan asked.
"No. She doesn't know you but she does know me. I'm gonna give her a try" Alfred smiled as he slowly pulled off his kitchen apron.
"Bro? You haven't showered yet?" Dan asked as Alfred walked past him.
"Yeah. Why?" Alfred looked at him.
"I smell the strong flowers scents all over you" Dan sniffed.
"It's a wonderful fragrance" He added.
"That's one merits of being a Florist(Someone that buys and Sells Flowers). You get to have that wonderful fragrance coming from your body due to Flowers"
Dan smiled. "You're right"
Alfred smiled back, gave him a V finger before leaving.

Rita was already feeling feverish. She shivered badly.
"Damn, Chelsea. Where the hell are y-
She couldn't complete her statement after hearing the interrupting door bell ring. "Has she forgotten the door lock code or what?" Rita slowly stood up.
She dragged her feet as she walked to the door. With both hands, She pulled the door and it opened.
Lo and Behold, It was Mr Hottie.
"Huh? It's you again. What are you doing here?" She looked at him in surprise.
"Hmm. Sorry but do you have ket-
ARCHUUUU!!!
"No! No! Not again!! Why do I keep sneezing when I'm with him?...Was he probably a flower from his past life? This is so embarrassing" Rita thought shaking her head as she tried holding her sneeze.
"You still sneezing?" Alfred looked at her worriedly.
"Archuuu!!" It came again.
"Owww!" Rita whimpered painfully holding her chest tightly. The Hard Sneezes were now affecting her chest so hard.
"What's wrong? You okay?" Alfred asked concerned trying to take steps towards her.
"Archuuu! Archuuu!! Archuuu!!!....Stop!! Stop!!! Don't walk towards me!" She gestured him with a arm. The other was still grabbing her hurting chest tightly.
"What?" Alfred asked puzzled.
"Don't...Archu!...come...Archu!!...closer....Archuuu!!!...You Freaking Flower Ghost!!!" She yelled.
"Excuse me?"
"AAAAAAARCHHUUUUU!!"
Oh God!!!
