Everything You Ever Wanted
(Theme- august 19; at most, flowers)
Yellow roses with a single pink one.
That's what she found on her apartment's kitchen counter, with a tiny card connected by a pearly white string wrapped about the stems. But she didn't need to read the card; the flowers screamed in comparison to what it could ever say.
Flowers, she said with indignant fury to the silence, throwing her keys with such force into their little ceramic bowl that it cracked in reproach.
Like those could heal everything, like those could save us! She growled, vivid as the petals were against her speckled blue and black marble counter-top. And she stepped forward, snatched up the bouquet, stomped her foot on the pedal and dropped them in her metal trash bin.
Damn idiot, she swore in her head, and she did her best to ignore the dampness forming at the corners of her eyes.
Notes: Title is from the lyrics of Liz Phair's song, 'Flower.'
Yellow roses mean three things. I've used the last two, which are "jealousy" and "try to care," and the first one ("friendship") could be used to a small extent, but isn't really relative. A pink rose means "perfect happiness" and "please believe me." Again, I used the latter.
Also, if a rose is single and in full bloom, it means "I love you" or "I still love you." So this could apply to the single pink rose.
Again, I did not use quotation marks purposefully.
