Dedicated to CeciandJack ... Thanks for your support

" So like I'm supposed to model these flowers? " Amanda said grumpily

" yes please " rhie replied politely trying to ignore the tone in Amanda's voice..

Amanda had been like that since the date with Xavier.. She'd been receding into her head a lot.. And it had been like that for a week... She was always moody..

Coz Xavier hadn't even called once

Why was she even expecting him to call.. After all she'd told him to leave her be.. now she regretted not giving him a shot..

No she shouldn't.. He didn't deserve a shot.. Not at all

"why am I doing this again.. "

"becauuuuse... " rhie drawled patiently

"they're your birth month flowers and I need you to do this for me to promote my business "

Rhie had bought the idea of taking pictures of her flowers to make gift cards with messages printed of details of the flowers.. The name.. Symbol of the flower... to go along with the flowers ... She was also making a mini booklet of her flowers to give to big companies Involved in her kind of work so she could get more jobs.. And the blossoms are involved. Which is why Amanda was sitting under a tree holding a bouquet of cute pink flowers and surrounded by brown pots Filled with those same cute pink flowers And wearing a medieval looking Pink dress and green heels

"what are they called again " Amanda said In a bored voice as she faked smiles for the camera

The photographer frustrated with her fidgeting And talking .. Answered sharply.. " they're called snapdragons genius .they signify grace and strength.. "

"of which you lack both " he Muttered under his breath

" I heard thaaat" Amanda said huffily
Rhie open her mouth to say something then decided against aggravating the issue any further

That same evening....

"rhie had me posing and smiling all day my whole body aches " Amanda sulked as Usual
Ore huffed " you were sitting all through biiiitch! how the hell is your body aching ..would you just stop ..it's getting annoying.. All the sulking and rubbish it's getting on my nerves"

Ife burst out laughing...

Amanda didn't bother replying and just sulked The more

And then...

Zzzzz-zzzzz-zzz

Udo pulled her phone out of the side pocket of her tailor made Ankara-fabric gown..

She glanced at it.. Reading the message while everyone went on Complaining about Amanda's sulking With Amanda looking sadder and sadder the more

Udo glanced up abruptly from the phone and focused her gaze on Amanda As Ore jumped at the way udo snapped her head up with the force of someone receiving a prophetic message.. and said.. " babe why don't you take a walk.. They won't stop and it'll do you some good "

"true talk " ife muttered looking at Her own phone Lazily as though it annoyed her ..she frowned still staring at the screen

"yeah you're right " Amanda agreed and walked out the door of 'rhie's blossoms' flower shop sighing

** * *

That same night...

Amanda rubbed her arms shivering as she Walked down the street of rhie's flower shop .. The air was always chilly at night in Lagos and she'd forgotten her jacket.. That's if she had actually even worn one in the morning anyway ..
