I glanced again at the flower shop that I passed eveyday as I went home. I fondly remembered the four men that used to live there. All of them were good looking and every one of them had been kind to me. I even remembered their names; Aya, Yohji, Omi, and Ken. I remembered how kind Omi had treated me. I let out a long sign.
Each of the members of Weiss held a special place in my heart. Yohji the playboy had flirted with me everyday. He would make a comment that would make me blush. He never failed at making me blush or making me feel more than what I was. Omi held the part of my heart as the brother I never had. He would always help me with my problems. I let a small giggle. I would pick up a vase of flowers and follow Omi around. I would help him as we talked. And the topic would always be Aya or some problem I had at school. Omi would always make me feel better, no matter what type of mood I was in. Ken would help me with my soccer moves. No matter how busy he seemed, Ken would help me. He helped me improve my moves and made me a better soccer player. And lastly Aya or Ran (whichever he preferred to call himself) held the biggest piece of my heart. He was the one who had stopped me from doing something so terrible that I would regret it for the rest of my life. And we had shared a kiss before he left.
"You there! Can you help me?" Came the voice of an elderly lady. I left my thoughts and followed the voice to the flower shop. I saw the old lady who owned the store. I smiled and nodded My head.
"I know you. You're Alice the girl that was here all the time when the boys were alive. How are you in these dark days?" The old lady asked concerned.
"The pain gets easier each day. I miss them so much. But then I remember what each of them did for me and my day gets a little brighter. How are you doing?" I in turn asked the elder woman.
"I miss the noise and Aya's complaints about the fan girls. It's so lonely running this store by myself. Would you be interested in working and living here?"
"O yes that I would! I would be honored." I exclaimed excitedly.
The old lady laughed. "Well then you can start now if you would like."
I bowed before the old lady and said thank you in the process. I quickly stuffed my belongings behind the counter and began to water and arrange the flowers. I hummed to myself as I worked. Fond memories would pop up every now and then of the four boys I knew and loved.
I smiled sweetly at the flowers I was holding. They were Ran's symbolic flowers. I signed. 'I guess one sweet kiss is better than none at all.' I signed out louder this time. I had been working at the flower shop for a year now and the ghosts of the boys were getting to me. I would see someone that resembled Yohji, or a person who acted like Ken, a young boy who sounded like Omi, or a man who was as silent as Ran. I would never break down in the store, I waited until I was safely in my room.
I came back to reality when someone tapped me lightly on the shoulder. I turned around and could not believe my eyes. Right in front of me was Yohji, I was amazed beyond words. I stared at him for what seemed like an eternity. He broke the silence.
"Excuse me miss, do you have any lilies? My finance loves them dearly and no other flower shop I have visited has them." The man smiled at me. Then I knew I had been wrong again, another ghost of one of four men who will never return to this life.
