Drabble : 21 : "21 Roses''
Ino sat in the flower shop and looked at the clock. It was almost 5:00 pm. That meant she could leave soon. The door opened and Naruto walked in. He walked up to the desk and smiled at her.
"Hey , Ino ,'' Naruto said , "How's it going ?''
"Hi , Naruto ,'' she replied , "Everything's fine.''
"Can I have twenty one roses ? ,'' Naruto asked.
"Twenty one roses ? ,'' Ino asked , "Alright. May I ask who they're for ?''
"No ,'' he replied.
Ino smiled and gave him the roses. Naruto paid for them , said his thanks and left the shop. Ino sighed and sat down at the desk.
"I guess I better close up shop ,'' she said.
The next morning Ino woke up and got dressed. Next she walked in to the flower shop and walked behind the counter to start her day. Ino gasped when she saw twenty one roses sitting at her desk and a card was lying beside them. Ino picked up the card and opened it.
"Dear , Ino ,'' she read , "Do you know what the significance of 21 roses is ? The significance is that no matter what happens I will always be there for you. Always. The number 21 is a number that signifies my love and trust for you. Love , Naruto.''
Ino smiled and tears of happiness came to her eyes. She wiped them away and sighed.
"I love you too , knucklehead ,'' Ino said.
THE END.
