06 | another day, another disappointment

Two weeks have passed since my 'date' with Isaac and I haven't heard of him ever since. I mean we haven't exchanged our numbers or anything so there's no way he could contact me via phone but he used to come to the flower shop every single day for over a week. But since our 'date' he never came by again. I even asked Myra if he was here but she also said that she hasn't seen him much to my disappointment. That's all my fault. If I hadn't blocked him when he tried to kiss me he probably would have come around. But to my defense I didn't expect him to try to kiss me and I would have probably let him kiss me if it wasn't for him. I will never be able to live a carefree life and do simple things like kissing a guy that I like because he's always on my mind and going back to the exact same flat that held all the bad memories of him touching me in an inappropriate way doesn't help at all. Those memories will never leave no matter how hard I try to forget them. And I did try to forget them.

"He didn't come today either?" Myra asked when she walked into the shop and eyed the bouquet of yellow tulips that I prepared for Isaac's mother incase Isaac would come to get another one for her.

"No he didn't" I answered sadly as I looked down onto the floor I don't even know why it hurts me so much that he isn't coming anymore because we weren't dating or anything and I haven't even known him for too long but I kind of got used to see him every day. Just like I got used to seeing Mrs. Gallagher every day. Both brightened up my day in a different way and now it just feels like something's missing whenever he doesn't pick up the flowers. But maybe something happened to him or his mother which is the reason why he couldn't come. I just don't know what to think. I'm not used to getting to know boys and I'm not familiar of the way they think of different things but I kind of understand now why Logan, my older brother, never wanted me to date. If I'm hurt now I don't even know what it feels like if you were in love and get broken up with. I'll gladly pass on the opportunity to ever experience that.

"I shouldn't have warned you about going out with him. I knew he was an asshole I just thought he would be different to you" Myra huffed in disgust. Did she seriously thought it was her fault?

"No Myra I should have known myself it's definitely not your fault. But he was so nice towards me that I never would have expected him to just stop coming" I stated angry at myself for letting him play me like that. I wasn't even necessarily angry at him. I was angry at myself for being naive enough to believe that the billionaire Isaac Owens would be interested in an average looking med school student. I could have known from the beginning that it would turn out like this but I just ignore it. Stupid ignorant me.

"Now stop thinking about him you-" Myra started but was interrupted by a middle aged woman who came into the store with a smile on her face.

"Hello girls" she greeted us as she walked further into the store and her eyes fell on the bouquet of yellow tulips that I prepared for Isaac.

"That bouquet is gorgeous! How much is it?" she asked her eyes full of interest.

"It's not for s-" Myra wanted to tell the woman but I stopped her mid-sentence. Isaac wasn't coming anyway so what's the point in denying the customer to buy the bouquet if she likes it. It's not like he would notice that I sold it to another woman.

"It's 30 Dollars" I said with a smile and saw Myra looking at me from the corner of my eyes.

"Are you sure this bouquet isn't for anyone else.? I can buy another once if you want me to there are so many beautiful ones to choose from here" she said a little bit embarrassed.

"Oh no don't worry. I made the bouquet myself just for fun. It's for no one particular" I stated and the woman smiled at me.

"Then I guess I can consider myself as lucky that I get to be the one who buys it" she said and handed me 100 Dollars.

"Keep the rest of it. Have a great day" she said as she grabbed he bouquet after I wrapped it.

"Why do you always get so much tip? This is so unfair!" Myra said with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"I mostly got a lot of tip because of Isaac. But this is called great service" I said jokingly and she punched me in the shoulder.

"No punching!" Jennifer, who just came out of the back, warned her daughter.

"Mom she was mean to me" Myra pouted like a little child.

"No she was being honest" her mother said, causing Myra's mouth to fly wide open and for me to laugh at her expression. I just love Jenn.

"Emilia I believe your shift ended 10 Minutes go. I don't want you to take over another one of Myra's shifts" Jenn said as she disappeared to the back again.

"That was just once" Myra complained.

"Yeah and how many times did you take over any of her shifts?" I heard Jenn say an Myra stayed quiet.

"That's what I thought" she said and Myra mimicked her expression.

"Well I guess it's my cue to leave"

"See you tomorrow" Myra said and waved before I left.

.....

I walked around the streets near the flower shop when all of a sudden I noticed a way too familiar man walking around with someone I didn't know. Isaac. Before I couldn't even think about the consequences of what I was about to do I walked right up to them. And when I was right in front of them I realized what I had done. What was I doing? I haven't even prepared what I wanted to say and I'm not good at confrontations at all. Oh Fudge Nuggets!

"Oh Emilia hey" Isaac said obviously surprised to see me.

"Hey Isaac. I was wondering why you didn't come to the shop the past two weeks. Is everything alright?"I asked sounding worried. No stop Emilia. You should be mad at him so sound like you're mad!

"Uhm I'll leave you two alone" the man beside Isaac said and went inside the building.

"So?" I asked impatiently waiting for a response. I just had to know.

"I had a lot to do for the companies these past few weeks so I wasn't able to make enough time to pick the flowers up" he said and I didn't know whether I should believe him or not.

"Even on Sundays?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yeah even on Sundays. We signed a contract with a new partner and they required a lot from us and as the CEO I have to approve of everything my staff is working on so I had to spend the past two weeks in my office going through every little detail to make things work" he said and did sound like he was saying the truth which made me feel like utter shit. I was making him out to be the bad guy even though he was just doing his job. I usually don't judge people before I don't know the truth so I don't know why I jumped into conclusions so quickly this time.

"I'm sorry. I thought you were avoiding me because I didn't kiss you" I said truthfully and his eyes widened at my statement.

"No I would never do that! Okay maybe I would do that to another woman but I knew that I shouldn't have tried to kiss you. I hated myself for trying when I knew you weren't ready so please don't think it was your fault because it wasn't" Isaac said and in that moment I felt all the heavy weight fall off of my shoulders. He wasn't an asshole. I just wanted to believe he was in order to protect myself which wasn't necessary.

"So no bad blood between us?"I asked just to make sure.

"None at all" he grinned and I couldn't help but hug him taking him by surprise judging on the fact that it took him a few seconds to place his arms around my body as well. I didn't know why I decided to hug him since I usually don't like touching other people or letting other people touch me but it felt like the right thing to do. And yeah in that moment it definitely felt like it was right.
