Chapter One: of flowers and Creepos

It was a delightful evening and I was happily tending to the plants in the shop. I'm currently at my part time job in the flower shop. Call it what you will girly, wimpy but I don't think that gardening shouldn't be restricted to the female gender only! I happen find gardening a very relaxing and fun job! Yes some of my friend might say I'm a I look girly enough so its only fitting (although I have more muscle than that potato couch brother of mine because I play hockey)that I like gardening but it's not like I'm the only one! My friend Lars (who happens to be as manly as they come) plants a whole crap ton of tulips in his backyard! Though I'm not sure that's the only thing he plants there…

But before I could go on and rant about how gardening was also labour intensive somebody tapped me on the shoulder which almost made my heart jump out of my rib cage… and no I didn't scream like a girl… ok maybe a little… I turned around to see who almost gave me a heart attack but I was met with one of the most wonderful sight I had ever seen. It- it was so beautiful that I could not put my how I was feeling into words. Her clear blue eyes regarded me with concern and as she tilted her head slightly to the side her hair which bordered gray and blonde made its way to obscure her face. I reach out to her to put a side the misplaced lot of hair but the pain that exploded in my shins prevented me to do so.

"Ouch! Maple!" I cried out as I curled down to tend to my abused shin.

"Oh! I'm very sorry mister! Ivan! Why would you do that to him, apologize right now!"

I looked up and saw the beautiful girl who caused me to enter a world of reverie. She was currently scolding her (I'm guessing) younger brother with tiny tears starting to form on the corner of her eyes.

"But that creep was going to-" the boy tried to say but was cut off by her sister's escalating sobs. The boy suddenly turned his glare at me.

Are cute little boys allowed to be this scary!

"You! You creep see what you did!" I couldn't help but cringed from the force of the boy's voice. I guess he was just trying to protect his sister… but still…

"Ivan don't call him that! Yes sure he is kind off weird because his was just staring into nothing but he could have a condition! Maybe his sick! Now don't go calling people creeps and say sorry to the man!"

"But-"

"No buts Ivan! Now apologize!" she said with a determined look on her face though it looked like more of a pout.

"Fine!" the little boy turned to me with a sickeningly innocent smile though his eyes promised the most painful torture.

"I am sorry for calling you a creep-" The said through gritted teeth. I was about to say that it was okay but then the boy continued.

"-for staring at my sister like some love struck fool." I stared at the boy for a moment. Then I felt my face heat up from embarrassment. I was staring at his sister like a love struck fool!

"Ivan-" before she could scold her brother again I interrupted her. I didn't want her brother to get in trouble for trying to his sister. Even though said kid creeps the hell out of me.

"It's okay! It's true I was looking at you like some love sick fool!" the girl turned to me with a confused look and I started to fidget under her gaze and felt compelled to answer that look.

"Well…um… you see I …err...urbrfkjsg"

"Excuse me?"

"I think your very pretty! Andyoulooksosweet and I couldn'tstopstaring because...wellyourverypretty!And-and I err…yeah. Merde(1)..."

I kept my head down not wanting to see what she would think of sudden stupid outburst of mine. A moment of silence passed by and I started to fiddle with my fingers when suddenly I heard a giggle. I looked up to the girl of my dreams laughing at me. Why to go Matthew! Now she will never go out with you, not that you had a chance from the start anyways. Maple…

"Is he not a sweet guy Ivan! See his not a total creep he was not even staring at my chest!"

Did she just call me a sweet guy! Yes I still have a chance! Wait… not a total creep… so she thinks I am a creep! Her little brother smiled at her and then to me with a triumphed look. Then he mouthed the word creep in a exaggerate way. Danmmit! I'm pretty sure there should be a law against kids being that creepy! Well I guess there are also laws against creeps like me…

No! I don't want to go to jail yet! I'm too young to go to a place filled with creeps and I'm not really a creep! Plus you never know what goes on in those prisons and Al showed me this video with the guy who bent down to get the soap and-.

"Ha ha ha I am only kidding Mr.…um" my panicked thoughts were interrupted as I processed what she said.

"Yes. The pretty lady doesn't think I'm creepy!" I didn't realize that I said it aloud until I heard laughter coming form the siblings. Oh why can't a giant Venus fly trap swallow me up now!

"Thank you for the compliments um… what is your name?" she asked and before I could embarrass myself any further I answered her question.

"My name is Matthew…nice to meet you." I shakily held out my hand but as she took hold of it I felt sudden peace that didn't last long because my next train of thoughts went 'oh my God she's holding my hand!'

"Ok it's nice to meet you too Matvey! My name is Yakatriena but you can call me Kat." She gave me a simple smile and I felt butterflies in my stomach.

"And My name is Ivan and it's nice that you weren't looking at my sister's chest but you better stop holding her hand if you want to keep yours!" I quickly let go of Kat's hand and tuck mine in my pockets. Seriously I think there should be a law!

"Um.. Is there something wrong with your ches-" I looked down to be greeted by the most ample b-br- chests I have ever seen. How could I have missed those!

"Oh maple leurs énormes(2). I mean their their huge! no I mean oh maple…" I heard her giggle and I felt my face heat up again though it quickly cooled down as I heard what I think were kol kol kols coming from her brother.

"S-so, what b-brought you here this f-fine evening?" I stuttered as I tried to quickly change the topic.

"Oh that's right! We are here to buy some sunflowers!" she replied cheerfully and I also notice the change in her brothers demeanor as the word sunflower came up.

"Oh really?"

"Yes! You see we had just moved in the neighbourhood and Ivan is missing his sunflower garden back from our old house." With this I saw the little boy shy away, his face turning to a light shade of pink.

"Sister… you don't have to tell him all that!" aw I guess he does have a sweet side. Now for revenge!

"Hmmm… I don't know if we have any of those in stock you know it's really near September so..." I knew there was still some left but this is revenge man! Which I quickly regret when I saw the dishearten look on not only Ivan's but also Kat's face.

"B-But I could go check out back! Ivan do you want to go help me look!" Now I did feel like a creep as I saw that the little boy was near to tears.

"O-ok" he said quietly as I he followed me to the greenhouse out back.

"We will be right back!" I called out behind me to Kat.

We were followed by an awkward silence as we entered the greenhouse with was very, very unnerving.

"So… sunflowers, sunflowers" I said allowed as a pathetic attempt to break the silence while we walked down the aisle of pots and flowers.

"Here we are!" I said as I spotted a batch at a corner. There where six in total.

"Really!" I turned around and saw the big smile on the kid's face. Wahl! He is really cute! I wonder if Kat and I have a baby would they be as cute as Ivan!... What the hell am I thinking!

"Um yes… there are six left!"

"I will be taking all of them!" he said with such enthusiasm that only a child could posses.

"Ah okay why don't you go run along to your sister and I will bring these out?" the boy nodded quickly and then ran out.

As I entered the shop with the sunflower on the cart I heard Kat and brother arguing well more like they were both crying actually.

"But sister! I want all of them!"

"Ivan we are not going to be able to carry all six to our house!"

"But if we leave some of them they would be lonely! I don't want them to be lonely!"

"How about I help you guys take them home." I offered. Blue and purple eye were suddenly staring at me.

"Um I-I don't want to be a bother Matvey we-" Kat tried to refuse but then Ivan grabbed t=her hand and gave her a pleading look. Damn that kid is good at making people feel guilty.

"Don't worry Kat I don't mind! Plus I'm closing the shop anyways so if you don't mind waiting for a bit I would be able to help. " She gave a defeated sigh and agreed.

"Ok! Let me just transfer the sunflower so there would be two of them in each pot so it's easier to carry. I do believe you will be replanting them in the ground right?" Ivan nodded and I got to work into transferring the flowers and saying goodbye to the shop owner (Who was an old widowed lady) before closing down the shop.

As we walked down the sidewalk with one pot each (I was surprised that Ivan could carry one!) I learn some things about Kat. She's going to start grade 11 at my school this coming September! I was all 'Yes!' which I once again said aloud with out intending to. Damn. All though t did earn one of those wonderful giggle from Kat. I wouldn't mind making a fool of myself once in a while if it meant I would earn those wonderful giggles of hers.

"Well here we are!" she said and we turned to a door which suddenly burst open and the next thing I knew was that there was a shotgun directed to my face.

Zero434: well what do you guys think? Should I continue? Is it worth it? And yes I know the characters are kind of oc but please don't kill me! And I can't believe the number of times I used the word creep in this chapter!
