“Is that any way to greet to a valued customer?” Dominic challenged, holding out a crisp receipt to the shop owner. “I’m here to pick up an order, you should be able to find it under Barney. That’s B-A-R-N-E-Y, like the dinosaur – but less friendly and not entirely purple.” 

       ‘ valued, ’ grant grumbles, taking the receipt, ‘ yeah yeah yeah, i appreciate your business, you’re wonderful, i’d be lost without my customers, ’ he spins on his heel, ducking into the walk in ‘cold room’ ( easier to keep flowers fresh in there ). ‘ what’re these for? ’ he’s speaking from behind the glass, ‘ lot’s’a flowers. ’

Do you have any strange phobias?

     ‘ ha, do you have time? ’ a shrug, ‘ little holes close together, saws when they’re turned on, cars - anything to do with them, crossing the street, ’ a smile ( finally ) ‘ – but i’m getting better! plastic bags, stepping on moss barefoot — ’ he shifts from heel to toe, ‘ oh - and aphids…to name a few. ’

          Exhausted. It was a word that seemed to define Georgie more and more as of late. Long hours at worked coupled with coming home to take care of her grandmother on her own, and chores around the house— well, she swore she could sleep for a month straight if given the opportunity. It was sheer willpower and coffee that was getting her through the day at this point. The latter being something she was currently lacking, which is how she found herself at the local cafe not so patiently waiting for the sugary white chocolate and coffee ( with two extra espresso shots ) concoction she had ordered. In order to pass the time— and prevent herself from falling asleep while standing up— she offered a close-lipped smile to the person waiting for their drink alongside her and said, somewhat jokingly, “Come here often?”

        it was RARE to see grant anywhere but his house or the shop. he wasn’t a ‘hang out around town’ kind of guy - he wanted as little to do with people of pickaway as possible. ‘ no. never. i’d rather shove forks into my eyes. my keurig is broken. ’ he bounces in place, wrapping his arms around himself, ‘ i can’t justify spending 5 bucks on coffee everyday. you ever think about that? could be putting into a retirement fund . . . emergency fund . . . but instead you’re spending all of your money on a drink. ’ he raises a brow, ‘ just sayin’ . . . ’

' What’s your problem with me? '

        ‘ dunno, ’ there wasn’t really much to have a problem with. ‘ fits my brand, i guess. you’re a ‘cool young teen’ and my heydays are long gone. i s’ppose it’s JEALOUSY? maybe your inability to KEEP TRACK of the receipts you get from the cemetery for arrangements? what do you do? eat ‘em? as some sort of youth fuel? . . . i don’t get it. ’

            “ B U T, i’m here to worship,” she snapped smartly, feeding into his words with a soft smile. don’t be rude, petra. she let her hand drop, lessening the chance of an assault on his children. she was certainly careless, at times, but it tended to come with a flair of grace that she couldn’t help but exude. one leg behind the other, she took a step back from the display, eyes scanning the shop, “i’d like some flowers,” she didn’t have money, “–which ones are your favorite?”

       ‘ i don’t care what you’re HERE to do. keep your hands O F F of my flowers. ’ he was a grump, but keeping his flowers alive and beautiful was a lot of work. he stands, moving towards a display he’d just set up that day, ‘ mini calla lilies are some of my favorites, right now. ranunculus are good if you’re looking for color. what about a succulent? those are big right now, too.  not sure why . . . they’re boring. ’

disquiet rips through the calm of him , and coils his features tight .   hands raised to defend against the spray of water ;   wiping wet limbs down on his jeans afterwards with a frown .   he  knows  human planting isn’t possible   –   not without some obscure tropical species   –   but that doesn’t mean he won’t have nightmares about the idea of it .   “ uh , i don’t know . ”   he hasn’t gotten around to asking her yet , they’re not that close .  “ was that really necessary ? ”   stepping away from previous station , jake gestures at the faintly damp patch on the floor to indicate what he means .   

                       “ is that  peek  customer service ? ”

     ‘ it was necessary. you see here at lafern & shirley’s we … me … like to give the customers the full floral experience. help ya become one with the flowers. i do it with everyone. i find it helps the customers really, y'know, dig deep and find what flowers their hearts really want. ’ it was true - he did spritz most every customer; especially the ones that got too close. most people would laugh and shuffle away uncomfortably - strange that he was still in business, really. ‘ so, now – now that you’ve had the FULL experience … what are you drawn to? ’ grant’s next question comes out of left field because he didn’t even realize he cared, ‘ what’d you do? t’make her mad at you? ’

Confrontation! Sentence Memes

You don’t think of anyone but yourself.

Admit it, you’re scared aren’t you?

You’re out of control!

I hardly ever recognize you anymore, you’ve changed.

You spend all your time locked up doing lord knows what!

Don’t sneak up on me like that.

I heard the commotion last night… it must of been a terrible dream.

Listen, about last night…

Here’s a tip, stop hiding behind excuses each time someone is worried about you.

Why are you alone most of the time?

Weren’t you friends with them?

Aren’t you tired of lying to yourself?

I should have known better… than to be fooled by you.

You’re pretty satisfied with serving on your knees most of the time, huh?

Quit getting in my face.

I’m warning you, get off my back.

I didn’t need your help.

What’s your problem with me?

You say you don’t recognize me, but you’re the one who’s changed.

When will you quit pretending to care? I’m tired of your lip service.

You can’t stand being next to me. Why is that?

Not everyone is going to leave you, but not everyone is going to stay.

You’re gonna get nothing but sass from me if you don’t change the topic.

How many have you killed?

What if they catch you?

This is dangerous…

I know you didn’t have the best relationship with your father/mother…

You’re tired of fighting, aren’t you?

What have you ever gotten out of this?

They’re using you. 

I was only using you.

I’ve known your secret this entire time.

Do you really think no one will find out?

Someone is bound to see the true you and I’ll be there for your reckoning.

You only push me away. Let me help.

Are you suggesting we commit treason?

Don’t fool yourself, you’re just as loathsome as I am.

Stop. I won’t have these unnecessary misgivings. Focus on your task.

Your skepticism is easy to read. What is it that you’re doubting?

In the end, we’ve only gotten more pain. I’m sick of this.

You’re going to run away?

We’re escaping. Tonight.

Make no mistake, we’re not friends.

You’re low. Lower than scum.

I’m only helping you this once.

Be a little more grateful about my help, you would of been a goner.

You can’t do this alone, let me go with you.

You keep can’t doing this yourself, let me intervene I’m sure we can resolve this.

You keep being singled out, it isn’t fair.

Quit mothering me, I said I’ve got this under control.

Maybe you should stop worrying about me and look at yourself first.

Help me? You could hardly help yourself.

Of course making friends would be easy for you, you’re eager to please.

You really are an emotionless robot.

How can you brush me off, if you’ve never even given me a chance?

Don’t touch me.

Get out.

Get away from them!

Watch out!

You’re in danger.

Your loved one is in danger.

If you won’t do it, I’m sure your friend wouldn’t mind being in your place.

Please. Talk to me.

Don’t you ever say that again.

Don’t pretend we’re friends.

It was easy for your friends to abandon you. 

Shut up!

Let go of me.

Tell them how you really feel.

You’re not fooling anyone with your haughty display of strength.

Offended? I’m surprised. I thought you were hollow and unfeeling.

Tell me where it is.

 You said you’d never lie to me.

There’s nothing wrong in doing what is absolutely necessary. The ends justify the means.

You obey order without question, you’re just a docile dog aren’t you?

Maybe if you stopped being such an ice queen people would enjoy being around you.

You scorn others around you but you’ve never once stopped to open your eyes.

John-Paul waits patiently, rifling through some the flowers, trying to see what Charlotte would like the best. He wasn’t really a flower kinda guy. They were pretty, sure, and some of ‘em smelled nice, but they died so quickly. That’s why animals were better. Sure, it was difficult for kids (at least most kids, JP had never had a problem, but he understood most animals better than he understood people), but it taught responsibility. “An arrangement?” he asks, with a bit of a dumbfounded look on his face, “I ain’t sure what that is, but I just need some flowers. For my daughter, and I just know you’re the guy who can help me with that.”

        ‘ d’you want something big? these are typically for special occasions. customizable. ’ he gestures to a few of the arrangements he had on display. they were much bigger - a plethora of flowers involved. ‘ or just a few to take to her? i can get you some that might last a little longer - some flowers don’t need as much watering. ’ grant was bitter by default, but he could appreciate a father that tried.

[censoriious-blog]

excuse me, sir. which of these flowers are the tastiest.... the yummiest??

       ‘ i’m going to put pesticides in your drinking water. ’
