Chapter 3: A Pink Tulip

Roselia woke up and yawned. She rubbed her eyes then noticed Shadow was sleeping beside her.
"Did Marcus let you back in?" she asked then the black and white cat opened his eyes and yawned. Roselia got out of her bed and changed.
Brother must be busy today... I guess I should do some grocery shopping... She thought then she walked out the door. She stopped and noticed there was no flower by her steps.
Well that's strange... There's no flower from my secret admirer... Guess that means he doesn't like me anymore. Oh well... Roselia thought then she started walking.

"Miss Rose! Good morning!" A boy with green hair and dark green eyes greeted.

"Barmeck, good morning."

"Off shopping today?"

"Yep." Roselia answered then she heard a crashing noise in the flower shop.

"Oh no... What has he done this time...?"

He? Roselia thought as she followed Barmeck into the shop. When she got in, she spotted a man with short black hair and blue eyes.

"Lee, look what you did... And this flowers were just shipped in..."

"I'm so sorry, sir..." The man apologized then Barmeck picked up some bruised flowers.

"Tulips...?"

"Yes, we just ordered them and they seem to be perfect for the coming of Spring season. Oh, Roselia, this is my new employee Lee Shengshun. Lee this is Roselia Lucia. Her brother is a friend of mine."

"It's nice to meet you." Roselia said politly then bowed. Lee did the same and smiled.

"Ah, Roselia, some guy wanted me to give you this." Barmeck said as he handed Roselia a pink tulip. Roselia blinked when she saw a note on it.
"The color of your cheeks when you blush... The color of your eyes when you've stopped crying... I want to make those tears stop, for this flower shows how much I care for you..."

Roselia gasped then grabbed Barmeck by the shoulders. Barmeck squeaked then his heart was racing.

"Tell me who sent me this!"

"I... I didn't know anything about the guy... He paid for it and just left me a note on what flower to give and what to put on the card..." Barmeck said then Roselia released his shoulders and sighed.

"Sorry, Roselia... But hey, if he comes by, Lee and I will keep an eye out for him okay?"

"Okay. Merci Barmeck. It was nice meeting you, Lee." Roselia said then she left and continued walking to the store. When she kept walking she looked at the pink tulip and then sighed.
I was so close into finding out who my secret admirer be... But yet now I'm so far away... She thought.
