As the man furrowed his brow, the young man suddenly remembered something and said, "But even though the flower shop is closed, you should be able to buy flowers at those flower fields."
Seeing that this man had an impressive aura, he knew he was not lacking in money. He pointed behind him and said, "Actually, there's one in the outskirts of town. If you go now, you can get the freshest flowers."
The man's brow relaxed as he thanked him and drove away.
It took a while for the young couple to snap out of it after the man left.
After a moment of silence, the girl covered her face with her hands and screamed out loud. "Ah! How can someone be so good-looking? And on top of that... he's a guy!"
Although he also thought that guy was good-looking himself, hearing his girlfriend say that made him feel uneasy. "Not only is he good-looking but also treats his girlfriend well. Otherwise why would he come out late at night to buy flowers..."
The girl remained silent.
As a guy yourself... is it really okay for you to be so petty?
...
Perhaps because Osvaldo wasn't there with her this time around Selena woke up earlier than usual.
She opened her eyes and didn't see any familiar faces next to her which startled her momentarily.
Selena glanced at the clock on the wall - it wasn't even six yet.
After washing up in bathroom she changed into a long white dress before heading downstairs.
The villa was unusually quiet.
Selena descended the wooden staircase, not seeing a single servant along the way. She looked around curiously, but still couldn't find Osvaldo. Frowning slightly with worry that something might have happened to him, she was about to go back and call him when the living room door suddenly opened from outside.
With a slight sound in the quiet space, Selena froze and looked up just as her eyes met those of a man standing outside the door. The early morning light shone on him as he walked in on the carpeted floor, his black hair and eyes familiar to Selena's memory.
He wore an air of tranquility about him as he carried a large bouquet of red roses in his arms – each petal glistening with dew drops underlining their vibrant color.
Selena blinked in surprise at this unexpected sight before her. Osvaldo's gaze fell upon her face and he frowned slightly; perhaps due to lack of sleep from staying up all night working on something important.
"Why are you up so early?" His voice sounded hoarse.
Selena's gaze shifted towards the bouquet of flowers held tightly by Osvaldo – ninety-nine beautiful red roses carefully selected for this special occasion. Each one was stunningly vibrant and perfectly arranged into an impressive display that took her breath away at first glance.
She turned back towards Osvaldo once more; noticing how even his usually pristine appearance had been affected by whatever kept him busy last night: damp hair clung messily onto his forehead while there were traces of yellow mud stains on his shoes; between cold white fingers lay faint signs of fresh wounds still healing over time.
It was evident that these flowers were personally selected by this man, one by one. It took him the entire night. Selena slightly widened her eyes. She carefully recalled that her relationship with Osvaldo was stable, and there hadn't been any recent conflicts. Today wasn't a special day either. So why...
