Make You Mine

A flower again?!

Claire Amber Rose

"Lily, I miss you." I hugged my college best friend and was stunned when I see her belly. "You're pregnant?" she nodded excitedly and I can't help embracing her in a hug once more. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe it." I let her go and we both sit down.

"Neither can I."

"What is the gender?"

"Boy... And a girl."

"It's twins?!" she laughed seeing my facial expression. "Congratulations Lily, I'm happy for you."

"Thank you, Claire." The waitress comes and we order our food. "Have you been thinking about marriage?"

She nodded. "I have but Mike and I decided to get married when I gave birth to these two."

"Wow, I can't believe you changed that fast. Remember back in college when you used to be this bad girl and constantly sleeping with a random guy?" she shakes her head but still laughed remembering it. "Of course, how can I not remember? We became friends and immediately click because we have the same brain cell and that is not believing in love, but look at me now, I have a boyfriend who loves me so much and we'll have twins."

"I will always support you whatever step you take."

"Aww... this is the reason why I love you so much." I rolled my eyes but still smile. I drink my wine as the waitress served our food. "How's life C? Still don't believe in love?" I shrugged, putting down my glass. "You don't need to ask that but my life is pretty much the same every day. Work, meeting, work again."

"You know love is not as bad as you think. It's actually very magical." She really is whipped. I cringe hearing that. "Please stop you make me want to puke." She rolled her eyes. "Anyways, aren't you bored? Doing the same routine every day?"

"Of course not,"

"So no guys in your life?" I looked at her deadpan. "Seriously?"

"Who knows! I mean who knows that you hide a boyfriend." I scoffed. "I don't believe in love remember? Besides, I don't have time for that and working is the only thing I love. You know being a famous designer is always my big dream."

"I know. You are the most ambitious one compared to the other. You barely eat and rest because you work part-time. I'm actually proud of you, how can you manage to study while working is beyond me."

If only she knows back then I was almost giving up everything because it's just too much for me but thankfully Adrianna was there to help me and keep me motivated. She always told me to show the people who looked down on me that I can be more smarter and successful than them.

I only smiled at that and start eating the food. After having lunch and chit-chat, we both said goodbye and went our separate ways. I enter my car, driving away from the place. Glancing at the time at the screen, I just remember that I will meet a client at 3 o'clock. After 15 minutes of driving, I finally arrived at my office. Making my way inside, I went straight to my office and my secretary stood up and told me the client has arrived. I nodded at her then went inside.

"Oh Ms. Harrington, I apologize for the wait." She waved her hand in dismissal. "It's fine, I should be the one to apologize that I came early." I smiled at her and gesture her to sit.

I took my Ipad and walked back to the couch. "What can I help with?"

"I want you to design a wedding dress for me."

I scrunched my eyebrow hearing her said that. "That fast? I don't mean to be rude but I just design your engagement dress."

"No, it's fine. I'm just really excited and can't wait for the wedding. The feeling of spending your entire life with the person you love gives me butterflies. You will know the feeling when you meet the person you love." I mentally scoffed.

Meet the person you love? Yeah right. I don't even believe in love. This is the second time people bringing up the topic of love. First Lily my best friend then Rebecca my client. In this cruel world, love does not exist. This is not some kind of fairytale that a prince charming will appear in front of your doorstep bringing you a flower while saying I love you. That thing only exists in a book and movie. They should open their eyes and see the real world. Sometimes they live too long in the non-existence world.

I only nodded my head and smile. "Very well then," I start asking her what type of dress she wants, the bodice, the accessories, and the design she wants. She explains everything that she wants in her dress in detail and very serious. I wrote down what she wants and even drew the dress that she explains. We discuss the dress for the whole 2 hours.

"I think that is all I want in my dress." She stood up and so as I. "I will make sure your wedding dress is the most beautiful dress in the world." She grins happily. "Thank you, Ms. Rose." I nodded.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I want to invite you to my engagement party this Saturday. I will send you the exact location."

"It will be an honor to." she heads to the door but I stopped her once I realize the flower on top of my desk. A flower again?! Seriously?

"Ms. Harrington, do you like this flower?" she turned around once I called her and she nodded. "Yes, I love it. It's calla lilies. Why you don't like it?"

"No, I'm allergic to flowers." I lie. "If you want here take this." I took the flower on my desk but make sure to throw the cards then hand them to her. "Are you sure?"

"One hundred percent sure."

"Okay then thank you,"

"No problem." I sighed as she leaves my office. I swear he kept sending me flowers. Even after I send the flowers back to him yesterday, he still sending me. honestly, I am getting annoyed by it.

I walked to my desk and sat on my leather chair. Opening my computer, I saw news with a picture of Dennis walking out with a girl from a club. I scoffed seeing it. He sends me flowers but at the same time, he went with another girl. Make up your damn mind! Men are always the same. They thought we women are dumb and stupid but the truth is, we are smarter than them.

Let see if he still dares to send me flowers. I swear I'll rip him apart.
