As Helia and Flora left the church with their bags the blue hair male commented. "You were amazing. Now I see way so many people want you as their wedding planner."
Flora smiled, happy about Helia's comment. "Thanks. You were pretty good yourself. You're the best photographer I have ever met."
"That means a lot coming from you." Helia returned her smile.
The brunette checked her watch for a moment. "I will see you tomorrow, Helia. I have to go and pick up Layla."
"How about I give you a drive?" Helia offered, looking over at the female.
"You don't have to." Flora shook her head. "I don't want to inconvenience you."
Helia placed his hand onto Flora's right shoulder as the two stopped walking. "It's no inconvenience. I enjoy spending time with you and I am in no rush to go home to an empty house with Gramps been on a date now."
Flora feeling like she could trust him, said. "Okay."
Getting into the blue hair male's car, Helia started the car before Flora gave him direction to Layla's school.
Reaching Alfea Prep Helia stopped the car while Flora was looking through the crowd of students who was running out to greet their parents. The female had on a black jacket, red tie, white shirt with a red pleated skirt, white knee length socks and black shoes. The males wore a black jacket along with the same colour pants, white shirt, red tie, white socks and black shoes.
Flora scanned the crowd till she pinpointed the five year old. The twenty-two year old whistled causing Layla to look her direction.
Layla smiled and ran to Flora. "Mommy!"
Reaching the car, the curly hair brunette jumped into the back of the car. "How was school today, Lals?"
"It was okay." She sighed, before looking over to Helia. "Hello."
"Hello Layla." Helia replied, starting up the car. "My name is Helia. I am a friend and co-worker of your Mom."
"You look nice." Layla commented, as she began scanning her bag for a brown envelope. Finding it, she handed it to Flora before focusing on Helia once more. "Do you want to go out with my Mom? She is single."
Flora darted her eyes towards her daughter. "Layla!"
"What?" She said, trying to put on her seatbelt. "You two look like a cute couple."
Helia unbuckled his seatbelt so that he could but on Layla's own. Once it was fasten, he put on back his before driving out of school.
Flora turned her attention to the envelope Layla gave her while asking. "How would you know what a cute couple looks like?"
"I saw a picture of my parents and they looked like you and Helia." Layla pointed out, turning her attension to the blue hair male. "What do you say Helia? Don't you think my Mom is beautiful?"
"I think Flora is very beautiful." Helia answered, honestly while indicating to the older female to give him directions to her home. "Layla, your Mom and I just met. There is no way we can just jump into a romantic relationship till we get to know each other better. Even then we still might not get together."
Layla seemed a little disappointed. "Oh!"
Flora gave him directions as she took out a sheet of paper to look at Layla's report card. "Layla, Helia will be joining us at the animal shelter this weekend."
That seemed to cheer up the five year old a little. Helia added. "I heard there is a carnival coming into town Saturday. Would you two like to go with me?"
Layla looked over to her mother. "Mom, what do you say?"
"That sounds like a good idea." Flora nodded. "Lals, I like this semester's report card. C- in Art and A+ in everything else."
Layla pouted. "I like Art but need help in it."
"What problem are you having in Art?" Helia asked, making a left turn.
"Apparently everything." The five year sighed, sadly.
"Art was one of my majors in college." Helia informed her. "I have a beginners guide to Art Book at home. It helped me from Prep School to College."
"That would be nice. Maybe the book can help Mom too since she stinks at drawing."
"Hey! My drawings are not that bad." Flora playfully pouted.
"The last time Mom tried to help me draw something it looked like a three year old did it." Layla pointed out. "In Art, Mom excels the most at dancing, writing stories and singing."
Flora sighed in defeat. "As hard as it is to say, she is right. I love Art and all that falls underneath it but drawing is not my strongest suit."
"If time permits I could help you two with that." Helia offered as he drove up to an apartment complex. Stopping the car, he continued. "Drawing is one of my strongest talents along with writing poems."
Flora said as she removed her seatbelt. "I would like to see your work one day."
Helia nodded. "No problem. I can bring a few tomorrow. Hope to see your work also. Dancing and singing are not my strongest point."
"I don't mind giving you a performance. Griffin usually comes in late and I think our first client is at ten." Flora offered as she and Layla got out of the car.
"Bye Helia!" Layla waved to him.
"Bye Layla. See you Saturday." Helia replied, waving back to her. "And I will see you tomorrow, Flora."
"Tomorrow." Flora waved good bye to him.
Helia waited till they were safely in the building before driving off. Going home, he thought. 'Flora is a nice person and meant what I said to Layla. She is very beautiful and would like to get to know her better. Flora is unlike any female I have met before.'
Flora and Layla entered their apartment. Flora thought as she closed the door. 'Helia seems like a nice person and made a great team today while working. Wonder if he could be the⦠No stop thinking like that Flora.'
"Mom, are you okay?" Layla asked, looking at her considered.
"Yeah, I am fine." Flora sighed. "Go and change your clothes while I will make us dinner."
Layla did as told while Flora headed to the kitchen.
