Chapter 13: Flora's Surprise,
Helia's P.O.V
I smile proudly at the building and the construction workers putting on the sign and covering it with a sheet covering it.
"Helia!? What are you doing here?" I heard my flower princess called behind me. I smile and turns around and hug her. "I have a surprise for you, my love. I hope you'll like it." I said.
"What?" She asked looking confused.
"This." I said gesturing towards the building. Flora looks at the building and me confused. "Take the sheet off, guys!" I shout to the construction workers.
They drop the sheet to the ground to reveal a elegant design sign that reads 'Flora's Four Shops' and on the bottom of that tells what this boutique has in a small, bolder design that reads, 'A Flower Shop, A Bakery, A Clothes Store, and A Skin Health Care Department. 4 Shops In One.' I look at Flora to see what she thinks. She has her hand on her mouth and tears in her eyes. "Helia…I don't know what to say. Thank you, thank you so much." She said and throws her arms around me and kisses my cheek.
I grin and hug her back. "Your welcome, love. Anything for you. Although there are a few people here who like to see you and say they will help you." I said pulling away and gesture behind us towards her family, my parents, the Winx, the Specialists, and the couple who runs Nutrients Bakery.
Flora squeals and go hug them all. "What are you guys doing here?" She asked the Winx and Specialists.
"Well, we were hoping you would hire us as your employees." Bloom said. Flora giggles and hugs them again. "Of course you can." She said happily.
"Can we help too, Flora?" Miele asked. Flora grins, "Of course."
"I start helping after I have this little one." Mrs. Katniss said rubbing her pregnant stomach. Flora smiles and nods, "Okay, Mom, I understand."
"Congratulations, Flora. We will help anyway we can." My mom said. Flora smiles and do a cute little curtsy, "Thank you, your majesty." She stands up straight but wobbles a little and nearly falls but I caught her. "Thanks, Helia." She said kissing my cheek. "No problem, love." I said smiling. Our parents smile at each other. "I think we might have a wedding soon." My dad said. I blushed, "Father!" I yelled in embarrassement.
"And maybe grandchildren." Mr. Katniss said. "Dad!" Flora yelled embarrassed and blushing.
"Well, we are not getting any younger, you two." Our dads said in unison. Everyone laughed while Flora and I look down blushing embarrassed.
"Ahem, anyway, this is where you two showed up." Flora said to the bakery couple and thankfully changing the subject.
"We are going to help as well. We are going to send Merry and Fauna to help you, supplies, copies of recipes, and some baked goods as well. This can be like expanding our business." The woman, whosRe nametag reads, 'Chrissie' said.
"Are you going hire someone else to take my place?" Flora asked.
"Yes, her name is Krystal." The man, whose nametag reads, 'John', said.
"Krystla Rue?" I asked curious.
"That's right. You know here?" Chrissie asked.
"Yeah, she was my childhood friend. But she moved. She was like a little sister to me. She's back in Lynphea?" I asked. Wow this day keeps getting better. I have written to her and told her a lot about Flora, she even met some one named Jared. Of course I did might have gotten a little bit of overproctive big brother about it, but he seem like a good guy. I can't wait for her to meet Flora, I know they'll get along great. Oh wait, maybe that's not a good thing, Krystal would probably tell embarrassing stories about me and also push for Flora and I to get married and have kids to be the godmother. The small price to pay when you're in love and have a best friend like a sister. But it's a small price that can be handled.
"Is that her, Helia?" Flora asked pointing to a girl coming towards us. I smile and nodded, "Krystal!" I yelled and waved.
Krystal grins wide and comes to me and throw her arms around me. I smile and hug back, "Its good to see you again, little sis." I said then pull back smiling.
"You too, big bro." She said smiling back then hugs Flora. "You must be Flora, I heard sooo much about you. Seriously, Helia is so head over heels for you, I'm shocked he hasn't proposed yet." She said pulling back and smiling at Flora.
"Krystal!" I yelled embarrassed and blushing.
"Oh…um…its nice to meet you Krystal. And um…thanks…" Flora said blushing.
I face palm, yep, I knew she was going to embarrassed us. "Oh come on Helia, you know you love me, especially when I embarrassed you." Krystal said smirking.
"Suuure. I'm so full of brotherly love for you now." I said sarcastically.
"Krystal, what happened to you?" A guy said coming to us, and judging by Krystal blushing I assume its Jared.
"Payback time." I whisper smirking at Krystal and she glares at me , "You wouldn't dare."
"Watch me." I said and hold out my hand to Jared. "Hello, you must Jared. I'm Krystals, friend, well I'm more like her brother, Helia. Have you been treating her good? You better know its called a wedding night for a reason." I said glaring at him a little.
"HELIA!" Krystal shrieked embarrassed. But I ignored her.
Jared blush and shakes my hand, "Nice to meet you. And yes I do know about…um…the w-wedding night."
"Good." I said smirking, letting go of his hand, and wrap it and my arm around Flora's waist and bring her closer to me. "This is my sweetheart, Flora. My sweetheart, don't think about getting close to her, especially when you are with Krystal."
"Helia." Krystal and Flora said warningly, but I ingored them, well ignored Krystal and kiss Flora's forehead.
Jared looks scared, "Wouldn't dream of it. You are attractive Flora, but my heart belongs to Krystal." He said.
"Aw, Jared." Krystal said kissing his cheek.
"Good answer." I said smiling.
"Um…Helia, I have to asked, what happened to Rarity and Mr. Simmons, Louise, and Beatrice?" My Flora asked.
"They were criminals and stole the plants and flowers from different realms and was going frame you for it. But now, they are in jail. The realms labotories said after they check on them, they'll send them and more back to you." I said.
"Really?" Flora said excited.
I nod, "Yep, you want to go inside and see it?" I asked leading her to the entrance. She smiles excitedly and nods, then we head inside.
A/N: Krystal, will not, I repeat NOT, come in between Flora and Helia. She is like a sister to him and nothing more.
