White Roses
Kelly’s POV
The morning was calm and bright. I was arranging some bouquets when the door chime created a soft noise and someone entered the shop. I prepared a sweet smile and was about to greet our first customer for the day when I realized who it was.
Wearing a black tshirt, faded jeans, black rubber shoes and an exposed necklace with a thick chain and anchor as the pendant, Klay entered with a straight face. He was already walking towards my way.
He looked so handsome in his casual attire. I even saw a woman enter the shop after him, looking at him shamelessly, pretending to be interested in flowers.
I felt awkward around him because of our argument but I gave him a welcoming smile, “Good morning. Are you looking for a particular flower?”

The sincerity in his eyes was too obvious. He was looking at me with regrets and I care. Who am I to reject his apology? He was just trying to protect me and I understand that part. He was worried and has the right because he’s my step brother and I was kidnapped twice. It’s natural for him to be so uptight for my sake.
“I said something unforgivable too. Can you forgive me?” I asked back.

Klay wet his lips and moved a little closer as he roamed his eyes around.” How’s your business going?”
