watching. I
opened the note….
Hey
Pretty Girl,
I just
wanted to tell you that I still think about you.
I wish
things were different and that you could give us a shot.
I
understand that your heart is with him but I just want you to
know that I am
here...anytime you need me.
Still
hoping you'll choose me,
Yours
Truly,
Todd
Aww that is so sweet, I
folded the note putting it in my pocket and leaving the school still holding my
rose as I walked to Casey car. I handed her the note to allow her to read his
words and she looked up at me with a sad pouting lip and I rolled my eyes,
"I know, I know. He's a sweet guy Case.” I wished I could shut what I felt
for Dylan off, I told him I was moving on but the truth is nothing could make
me stop loving him. I asked Casey to take my rose home and put it in water. I
worked until close and was afraid of it wilting. It had been my first flower
ever. I sat at the counter at work waiting for anything to happen it was so
slow. I found my mind wondering thinking how much easier it would be if I could
just give Todd a chance. He has such a kind heart.
Casey
took the rose in and was looking through the cabinet trying to find a small
vase she knew her mom had a stash of them. Karen walked into the kitchen
carrying bags of groceries followed by both Dylan and Carter also loaded down
with bags. "Hey mom where are those little vases you have for
flowers?" Casey asked still opening the cabinets looking through them.
"There in the little cabinet above the stove. Did Seth give you a rose
that’s so sweet, "Karen awed. Grabbing the vase and running it under the
faucet she answered over her shoulder, "No its Payton’s she asked me to
put it in water. Todd left it on her locker after school with a sweet little
note. This is her very first flower ever from anyone so I know she is extremely
flattered by it. She asked me to bring it home and put it in water for her. I
thought I would set it on the dresser in our room so she can see it there tonight.
I think Mrs. Mason's giving her a ride home tonight after work". Dylan
placed what bags he had in his hand on the counter and left the kitchen going
up to his room saying nothing as he left.
I was so
tired when I got home I just wanted to take a shower and go to bed. I walked
into the door and my phone started to vibrate. I pulled it out of my purse,
looking at the screen...
"Did you like your Rose ?" Todd had
asked.
I got a
warm little fuzzy feeling thinking about it and replied... "Yes I love it. So pretty, you know it’s my 1st one ever!"
I held my
phone in my hand still looking at the screen waiting for a reply as I stopped
at the refrigerator for a bottle of water. I looked up to see Dylan sitting in
the dark at the table. He startled me, "You scared me," I placed my
hand on my chest. My phone beeped and lite up, I looked down at the screen the
same time Dylan said, "You better get that your boyfriend might not want
to be left hanging". He walked past me and straight to his room.
"He's not my boyfriend," I whispered to no one. I stood at the
counter for a few seconds then looked again at my awaiting text.
"Payton Give me a chance to make you
happy I promise I will buy you a rose every day and write you sweet notes all
the time."
How do I
reply to that? Karen walked into the room to see me staring at my phone,
"Payton are you okay?" I took in a deep breath and turned to face her,
"Your son is a very hard person to understand. Have you ever considered
having him evaluated for multiple personality disorder?" I wrinkled up my
nose to keep myself from crying or getting emotional. Karen looked at me
trying not to laugh at my comment, “He was stubborn from the beginning honey
and it seems to get worse the older he gets. Can I tell you something
though...he always comes around?" I felt no relief from that I actually
felt unsure, "but what if I just can’t wait anymore for him to wake up?
What if there’s this
