“Mom, who was on the phone? You guys talked for ages...”, I ask her as she finally puts her phone down.
She smiled and turned her head towards me.
“Today I met this lovely girl, who had some questions for me, she told me that she is planning on moving to this city or something. She asked me if I could help her to show her around, but I had to tell her that I didn’t had much time, so she could meet me later in the day. I gave her a note with my phone number on it, so she could call me for some more information and the address”, my mother answers.
I nodded and understood the story she was telling me.
“What’s her name?” I asked.
“Flora”, she answers.
I nodded again and right after our conversation, we heard the doorbell ring.
“Should I open the door?” I ask as I am already walking towards the door.
I opened the door slowly when I saw a beautiful young lady infront of me.
“Oh I’m sorry, I guess this is the wrong house”, she said with a warm voice.
Her cheeks got a red color and I just had to smile.
“No.. you came for my mother, Nadine? Right?” I asked her.
She nodded with a cute giggle, I reached out my hand.
“I’m Nico, nice to meet you..” I say as we shook hands. “I’m Flora”, she said back a little shy.
I smiled and pulled my hand back
“Come on in, my mother was expecting you”, I told her and let her walk inside the house.
“Thank you Nico. I thought I had the wrong house and that I rang the doorbell of a total stranger.” She says making me smile. Even though I don’t know her she already seems really nice.
Flora followed me to the living room where she saw my mother.
Flora and my mother greeted each other and sat down on the couch.
“Can I offer you a drink?” I ask patient.
Flora shook her head gently and opened her mouth “No, I’m fine thanks”, she replies.
“I’ll let you two alone then”, I said and turned around to leave the room.
I decided to get a drink for myself and walk into the kitchen.
After grabbing a glass I hear my mother walk into the kitchen.
“Do you need something?” I ask her sweet, but she shook her head.
“I just need some water for Flora”, she replied while grabbing the glass out of my hands.
I raised my eyebrows “She was fine, right?” I ask in a suprise.
“Girls can be shy..” says my mother and opened the tap.
“Can I maybe bring it to her?” I ask hopeful.
She turned her head towards me, probably because she didn’t know why I asked.
“If you will leave us alone after...” she says with a little laugh
“Yes mom I’ll leave you two alone after,” I told her with a nod.
My mother gave me the glass and I immediately walked to Flora.
“Nico?” she says as she saw me.
“Water for you,” I say and put the glass on the table infront of her.
I saw her cheeks turn into a red color again and it looked really cute on her.
“You don’t have to be shy, if you want to drink something, you may always ask for it,” I told her making her nod.
“I’m sorry,” she says almost whispering.
I smiled and sat down next to her on the couch.
“You don’t have to apologize,” I told her and put my hand on her shoulder.
The shy way she responds made me smile all the time, it’s very sweet and cute.
My mother walked into the living room, so I stood up and looked at them.
“Have a nice conversation”, I said and left.
Of course I didn’t left them all alone, I was standing behind a wall and could exactly hear what they were saying.
“So Flora, you need some help?” my mother asks.
Flora took a sip of her water and then put the glass away again. “Yes, I don’t know where to go here and I don’t know where I can find the shops..” she said.
“I understand your problems, I first had to get used to it myself,” my mother said while laughing a bit.
It made me smile, I remember when she got lost in the city. Not once, but twice.
I just wanted to leave when I heard my mom saying my name.
“You’ve already met my son Nico, right? He can help you..” says my mother.
I smiled and was glad she said that.
“How do you mean exactly?” Flora asks.
“He can help you to discover the city, you will gave a good time with him,” my mother told her.
I walked into the living room with a little smile on my face.
“I would love to discover the city with Flora..” I said which caught their attention.
“Nico, I told you to leave us alone!” my mother says and stood up.
“I know, I’m sorry, I just wanted to let you know!” I said while looking in the eyes of Flora.
She turned her head away a little shy.
I reached out my hand to Flora and waited until she would notice it.
She looked up at me which made me smile. “Let’s go..” I said.
“Right now?” she asks, I nodded and felt her hand gently on mine.
“See you soon mom”, I said to my mother and took Flora with me and walked to the garage.
“Do you really want to... guide me?” Flora asks.
“Yeah, it seems fun..” I said and let go of her hand.
We got in my car and drove of to the city.
“So how do you like "me” so far?“ I ask her with a chuckle.
"You’re a respectful man, and I like that..” she says less shy.
I nodded and looked into her eyes. There was a quiet moment and it made us both relax.
“What would you like to do first?” I ask her as we approach the city. She thought about it for a moment, but shook her head.
“We can first go to Starbucks, so we can get to know each other a little better?” I suggest.
“Yeah that sounds like a good idea, even though I don’t have much money with me...” she says a little ashamed.
“It’s okay, I’ll pay for you. I suggested it”, I said and smiled at her.
After a few minutes I parked the car, put my sunglasses on and turn my head towards Flora. I smiled at her making her blush.
“Let’s go..” I say and got out of my car, she did the same and followed me to Starbucks.
We walked into Starbucks and sat down at this cute little spot.
We ordered something, but All my attention was going to Flora, so the minute I ordered I already forgot what I chose.
“Do you also love caramel?” She asks me.
I looked at her and didn’t know what she meant. I nodded and just smiled.
I probably ordered something with caramel...
“So Flora.. Why do you want move to move here?” I ask her interested.
“I’m going to follow a study here”, she replied which made me nod.
“What kind of study? If I may know..” I ask her polite.
“In photography..” she answers.
I saw her face instantly lit up, she probably can’t wait to start.
“Goodluck Flora, photography is hard work..” I said.
After an hour of talking we decided to go to some shops. We walked out of Starbucks and went through some streets. We arrived at a nice fashion store, which wasn’t that busy at the moment.
I grabbed Flora her hand and walked into the shop.
“My sister often comes here, she says it’s expensive, but very nice”, I told Flora.
She took me to a clothing rack and pulled out a dark blue shirt, she looked at the price and I started to laugh.
She turned her head towards me, so I could see her big eyes which made me laugh even more.
“Nico this isn’t normal, let’s go to another shop”, she says in a serious way.
I shook my head and was glad that I held her hand, because I knew she wanted to walk out of this shop. “That shirt looked nice, you should try it on..” I say and looked into her eyes.
She nodded and searched for a fitting room.
“That way..” I said and pointed to the back of the store.
She walked towards it, I let her hand go and followed her. She closed the curtain and changed her shirt into the dark blue shirt. “Done..” she says and opened the curtain.
That shirt suits her perfectly, you could see her perfect figure.
“This is it, it looks amazing”, I say and walk towards her.
“Really?” she asks me a little nervous. I nodded and pointed to a big mirror. My smile grew when she checked her self out in the mirror.
“But it’s so expensive..” she says softly.
“I’ll pay this for you, it’s a present from me for you”, I said making her smile.
“Thank you so much, you’re really sweet”, she said while blushing a bit.
This girl is amazing and super sweet, I didn’t know I could fall in love this fast.
She noticed me staring at her, so she turned her head away.
She is also super cute when she blushes, she is just perfect, perfect for me.
