Where Love Is

Chapter 1

"You're working at a flower shop?!" Honda asked in hysterics. He nearly fell off his chair clutching his sides.

"Shut up!" Jonouchi hissed quietly. Several of their first period classmates were staring. "It wasn't my choice, ok? It was the only place that was hiring. And you know I really need this second job now that my dad's lost his," Jonouchi scowled, and crossed his arms. He pouted and shook is head, throwing his long, golden bangs to the side. They were always hanging in front of his eyes.

"Still," Honda tired of laughing and only smiled, "A flower shop? Don't tell anybody at school about it," he held his hand over his mouth and sniggered quietly.

"Shut up! Don't you tell anyone either."

"Don't tell anyone what?" Miho asked. Her long lavender hair, up in a high ponytail, hung over her shoulder as she smiled innocently at the two. Tristan turned bright red.

"Oh nothing! It's just something really embarrassing about Jonouchi," he gave Jonouchi a smirk, "But anyway how are you, Miho?"

"Oh, I'm fine, thank you."

Jonouchi frowned. Thanks, Honda. That's what friendship is all about.

:j:m:

Jonouchi looked up at a large blue sign. Nosaka's Flower Shop! He opened the door below it slowly and hesitantly. Lots of beautiful flowers, at least ten bundles of every color caught his gaze. He was amazed by its beauty. He was interrupted when a tall, dark haired lady walked up to him from around a corner.

"Welcome to Nosaka's Flower Shop! My name is Meilin Nosaka, nice to meet you! You must be Jonouchi," he nodded. "I'm your new boss."

"Hey," he replied. He was very unsure whether he was going to like working here or not. It was typically a girl's job, but he really needed the money. At least he had a nice boss.

"Let me show you around. Then I have some delivery jobs for you. I don't want to give you a lot of jobs on your day, but we've got a lot of deliveries ordered today so we'll need all the help we can get." She smiled at him. He couldn't help but smile back, even though he was somewhat angry at her for hiring him.

:j:m:

Later that day

Mai Kujaku stormed down the hall way towards her office. The furious clunking of her high-heels gave a warning sign to the rest of the workers in their cubicles. One unlucky man was forced to face her.

"Boss, here are the papers you asked for yesterday!" the man timidly held out a beige folder full of papers in front of her. She halted in front of him.

"What was that last word?"

"I, uh, 'yesterday'?"

"Exactly. I needed these papers yesterday! Why did it take you so long to give these to me?"

"I…well, I had to do a little research, and it took me a while to find all the information, and…that's it." He said. Mai did not look happy.

She grabbed the papers from him roughly. "Next time, don't be so slow. I know you go home from work early, so if you have a job that you can't finish I expect you to stay here late until it's finished."

"But boss, I have a wife and kids. I leave early so I can spend time-"

"Tell it to somebody who cares." Mai walked past him and into her office. She tossed the folder onto her desk and sat down in front of her computer. She had a lot of work to do. Being the editor of one the most popular magazines on the stands right now was a lot of work, and a lot of pressure.

She took a deep breath. Relax…She pushed her long blonde hair behind her back and opened up a few documents. She picked up the folder and started to sort through it. She looked at the clock. It was 5:30.

There was a knock at the door. Someone bothering her again? She hated being interrupted when she was trying to work.

She opened the door to reveal a sight that would change her life forever.

"Are you Mai Kujaku?" a handsome, golden haired boy asked her.

She stared at him a moment before she could form words in her mouth.

"Y-Yes," she answered. The boy's chocolate eyes lit up at her and he smiled. His tinted cheeks shined in the light. He was sweating from carrying his heavy load…which was a vase full of flowers?

"These are for you. May a place them inside for you? It's kind of heavy."

"Yes," Mai stepped aside and let him in. He moved a couple papers to make room for the vase. He took a long look around her office, and down to her desk. It was covered with papers and books.

"Do you really have to deal with all of these papers and books?"

"Yes." She tried smiling back at him. She wasn't sure if her smile was ok. She'd never tried smiling at a boy before. But this one…was so handsome. He just had a presence about him. He smiled at her. Butterflies flew across her stomach at that instant.

"Well, see ya later!" the boy walked out the door.

As suddenly as he had walked into her life, he walked out of it. She turned her attention to the vase and opened up the card stuck to its side.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
There is no woman on this earth
as beautiful as you.

From, your secret admirer.

Very Charming, she thought. She placed the vase on the far corner of her room and tossed the card on her desk, letting it loose in a pile of papers, never to return.

AN: And that's chapter 1. Like I said, if I get some good feedback- aka good reviews- I'll continue this. Otherwise, it goes straight to the recycle bin. Please review!!
