Into the Flower Shop I was lured into the flower shop by the vibrant colors and aroma. This shop seemed like an oasis in the middle of the desert. I was in Hong Kong but I thought I was in heaven, not expecting to see such beauty in this part of town. As I was wandering around a salesgirl approached me with a wonderful smile. "Lovely, aren't they." see said. I told her the flowers were nice to look at and the aroma's delicious, and as I was talking I found myself thinking those same thoughts about her. "Can I help you find some flowers" she ask. That was when I knew I had found what I was looking for. "Yes you can Miss, if you were to receive a dozen flowers from a man that admired you what would they look like?" She smiled and said "I'll prepare those for you right away." She proceded to pick out the most beautiful red roses and she wrapped them in paper and brought them over to me. I told her I wanted a vase and she chose that also. When she was finished arranging the flowers she placed them on the counter and pushed them towards me. I pushed the flowers back to her and told her "Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman." She smiled and said, "You and I would make the best of friends." JamesLee 07January 2013 |
