Seems to be a good place a small town for a change… it wouldn't hurt if I based here. Would it? It's a very good escape for me.
Joey thought as she looks from the outside of her new shop. It's very different compared to the one she has in the city. This one is spacious, not only it has the shop in the middle of a garden; it also has a house over looking the sea right at the back where she will be staying. City life doesn't do it for Joey anymore. She now craves the peacefulness of a small town. Besides she still could keep her shop in the city as she has her friend to manage it. It also doesn't worry Joey to be losing her customer as she have established her name as one of the top sought after wedding planner in Sydney and is known for producing the most creative looking flower arrangements in the New South Wales.
She entered the entrance to the garden and walks her way towards the shop. Watching her workers follow the designed land scaped for her garden.
Oh yeah… this is going to be good. Joey smiled to herself.
3 months later…
"What is it in there?"
Watson asked Charlie as they drove passed a very unique looking flower shop as they were on they're patrolling duty. Charlie looked up to where Watson is pointing.
"Obviously a flower shop!" Charlie smiling cheekily.
"Oh, Nice observation Boss!" Watson teased back "I know it's a flower shop! But I've never seen a flower shop that busy."
Charlie looked on her side as they pass the shop; Charlie caught her breath as she saw a woman holding the lily, who she assumed to be the owner, explaining something to her customers.
WOW!
Charlie thought as she turned her eyes back to the road and then couldn't help herself, turn her head back again to see the woman that made her heart leaped for some reason.
"You ok Charlie?" Watson asked concerned as she saw the immediate change of colour in Charlie's face.
"Yeah… Yeah, I'm good" She lied.
That woman looks so stunningly beautiful! Even that is an understatement. She looks totally amazing… Shit! What is wrong with me? Did I just think what I thought I did? Snapped out of it Charlie!
"Oh by the way, how are things going with Angelo?" Watson asked oblivious to Charlie's mind bugging thought about the woman at the shop.
"We're ok…"
"You've been going out for 3 years now, ei?"
"Yeah… Why?"
"Ever thought of tying the knot?"
Watson looked at Charlie as she waits for the answer. She had witnessed Charlie and Angelo's relationship from the beginning and although it seems to be a pretty peaceful one, she can't help but wonder what factor of the relationship had managed to keep the two together. They don't fight nor had a massive argument before, but the spark is lacking. Angelo seems to be really in love with Charlie and there's no doubt about that, but Charlie on the other hand doesn't show any sign that can make her conclude that the love of Angelo for Charlie is reciprocal.
"What?!" Charlie suddenly stopped that car and looked at Watson with a shocked face.
"What? I mean, you've been together for quite long enough don't you think? And both of you are not getting any younger. Maybe it's time for you to produce a baby senior don't you think?" Watson teased.
"Hah! I haven't thought about it yet." Charlie simply replied.
"What if he proposed? Would you turn him down?" Watson eyed her curiously.
"I don't know." Watson's question ringed in Charlie's head as she continues to drive back to the station.
What if Angelo proposed? Will I turn him down? I've been with him for 3 years. The longest relationship I have had... I guess it wouldn't hurt to marry him. Would it? But am I ready for that kind of a lifetime commitment?
