Chapter 1 - Flora and Daniel

It was a gorgeous morning. Flora got out of her bed and opened
a window to breathe in the fresh air. Today was Flora's day off from
work,so she had plans to head to the store to do some shopping. Flora
put on a tight white shirt and a lavender skirt.Then she finished
all the other things she needed to do before she left. As Flora
was heading towards the store, she noticed Daniel walking not to
far up ahead. "Hey Daniel!" she shouted as she ran to catch up with
him. Daniel turned around and stopped. "Hi Flora, where are you
going?" he questioned her. "I was just going to the store to pick up
this new recipe book my mom told me about. And browse ofcourse. Do
you want to come?" Flora smiled. "Hmm...sure. I don't have anything
else to do at the moment." "Great!" Flora shouted. Then they continued
to walk. As they were walking Daniel noticed something on the ground.
It was a red rose. He picked it up. Flora looked at it too. "I wonder
where that came from? Someone must of recently purchased a boquet and
this one slipped out." Flora suggested. Daniel put the flower up to
Flora's hand. "Here, do you want it?" Flora blushed. "Um, oh yeah...
ofcourse." She took the rose from Daniel's hand. The rose had a lovely
scent. "Thanks Daniel." Daniel grinned and continued walking. After 10
minutes they reached the store. Flora found the new recipe book. "Here
it is!" Flora opened the book and skimed through the recipes. "That one
looks good," said Daniel. "Yeah it does, Oreo cake dessert. Do you want
to come over and eat some with me?" Daniel looked at her in silence for
a few moments and finally replied with "Okay." Flora frowned and said,
"What's with the silence, I'm a good cook, don't worry." Then she
smiled. "Oh that's not it." Daniel replied. "Whatever you say Daniel,"
Flora giggled. "I guess I don't have to browse. Besides, it looks like
you're ready to go. I have all the ingredients required. Lets go!" So
Daniel and Flora headed back to her place. When they got to the house
Flora went straight for the kitchen and set the book down. She took the
rose out of her pocket and looked at her reflection though the microwave.
She neatly put the rose in her hair. Then Daniel entered the kitchen.
"That looks nice." Flora turned around in surprise he said that.
"Heh heh, thanks." Daniel stood right next to Flora and opened the
recipe book. "You know what, I think I may be able to do this." Flora
looked at Daniel. "Leave all the cooking to me." Daniel took a seat at
the table. "Okay, I'll just sit here and we can talk while you cook."
Flora wasn't expecting a long conversation with Daniel, she thought he'd
probably just hang around while she baked. She started to get nervous.
"You know what, whenever I see a flower it reminds me of when we first
met" Daniel looked at the Flower in Flora's hair. Flora turned red.
"Wha..what...really." Flora started pouring the ingredients into a mixing
bowl. "I remember the big smile you gave me as you handed me that flower."
Daniel and Flora talked about their childhood the whole time the cake
baked. Then it was time to take the cake out of the oven. "And you know what,
there's a lot of you that hasn't changed." Flora said. "Yeah, you're
the same too." Flora smiled. "Even your smile has that same glow." Flora
brought the cake to the table. "Tha..Thanks Daniel." Flora felt her
hands sweating. Flora cut the cake into pieces. Then she grabbed two plates
and forks. "I'll let you try it first." Flora set a piece on his plate.
Dabiel took a bite. "Wow! This is really good! I'm glad I didn't make it."
Flora was really happy he enjoyed her cooking. She took a seat and served
herself some. After they finished eating they talked about all sorts of
things for hours. Before Daniel left, Flora gave him some of the cake for
later. "Thanks Flora. You know,I had a great time,we definitely
need to get together again." Flora stared at Daniel. "Yeah.." Then Daniel
wrapped his arms around Flora. She was really shocked. And then he kissed
her gently on the cheek. Daniel let go of her and waved, "See you later."
Daniel walked off. Flora stood there bright red. She put her hand up to her
cheek and smiled as she watched Daniel walk away.
