Elizabeth McDouglas Florist

Damian chose to leave the flower shop after washing the dishes he brought, to a coffee cafe next to Izzy's shop. Damian doesn't want to bother Izzy and Betty who are busy working.

Damian smiled as he recalled Izzy's words that teased him for wearing his Hublot clock. Damian, Damian, how do you wear your expensive watch anyway? Basic habits !

The sound of his phone rang and Damian smiled to see who was calling him.

"Assalamualaikum mommy" said Damian.

"Wa'alaikum salam. How's Knightswood? Can you enjoy living there?" raana asked softly as usual.

"God has enjoyed living in the countryside."

"Is there anything interesting? What about the people?"

"It's very English but I'm enjoying it."

"What's your busy life, Dam?"

"Fishing, cleaning the house, caring for roses..."

"Wait ! You take care of the plants? A rose? The cactus in your room just to death, you're now taking care of the roses?" cut Raana who doesn't believe her son who is on vacation to Glasgow changes a lot. "What happened (what happened) Damian?"

"Well, I joined Opa Duncan's house too dominated by white and wood and then I looked for alternatives to be more vibrant, finally I went to the flower shop and was interested in orange roses. Izzy said, according to my characteristics..."

"Who's Izzy?" cut Raana again.

"The florist's owner is mommy."

"Is she a typical English old lady?"

Damian. "No mom, Izzy's young."

"Is she pretty?" raana Goda. Damian was grateful that his mother spoke Arabic so he used that language.

"Have rabbit teeth." Damian replied floating.

"You like him Dam?"

"Don't know yet. Just let it flow and I don't want to rush it either."

"Dam, enjoy your life. Daddy it doesn't matter you are on a long vacation anyway you can also work from there. At least, your responsibilities at AJ Corp are unforgettable."

"Of course mom. I can't possibly abandon my responsibilities at work even though it's only two to three hours every morning."

"Tell mommy if there's an update. Oh, the name's funny too... Izzy" by Raana.

"Moooom..."

Raana laughs. "Don't forget to come home after Oma Sabine's birthday."

"OK mom. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikum greetings dear."

Damian smiled after receiving a call from Raana's mother.

"Bat! I'm asking for help!" call Izzy when you see Damian sitting in the cafe chair next door.

"Okay Izzy." Damian finished his coffee and left the money on the table and walked over to Izzy.

"Solicit what please?" damian asked as he got closer to Izzy.

"Please bring the pots. Pretty big thing" Izzy smiled as he showed some large clay pots. "My client bought it."

"Hi Mate, can you help me bring it?" ask a middle-aged man who came out of Izzy's shop. "My pickup truck is there and there's usually Jack, Betty's sister who can be asked for help but she's working the morning shift."

"Sure. No problem" Damian replied casually.

"Sorry Dam, I don't know who else to help" Izzy smiled.

"That means I've been accepted for work?" seductive Damian while carrying those big pots.

"Take it already ! Betty can be mad at me because I don't accept good food makers later" Izzy joked.

Damian laughed and followed Izzy's client with the pots.

"That's good there you are, boy. Pity Izzy and Betty for having to take her. Indeed, the people around him used to help if the two girls were hassles when Jack could not help. But Izzy said, there was a friend coming so he could help" said the old man as he closed the door of the car.

"You can call me Dec from Declan. I'm the innkeeper not far from here and the pots are to replace the old pots" Declan replied as he shook hands with Damian.

"Damian" Damian said as he introduced himself.

"You're not Scottish. Brit?! America?"

"Half Brit half American. I'm from London. How do you know I'm not Scottish?" Damian looked at the man with a smile.

"Your accent is different. Well welcome and stay at Knightswood. May it be at home." Declan said goodbye.

"Sure Dec." Damian returns Declan's hand as the pickup leaves the parking lot.

***

"I won't be here from tomorrow until next Sunday, will I?" damian said when he returned to the Izzy flower shop while cleaning the luggage.

"You're going to London, Dam?" tanya Izzy is also preparing the Damian plant. "What about your rose?"

"Take it tomorrow morning before I go to London, in the morning I'm here to leave my roses here. Pity to die" Damian replied casually.

"Where is usually animal care but this time it's different, plant care" Betty quipped.

"So the monster is being fined first Dam. Let's stay well-maintained here. How's it?" bargain Izzy.

"Absolutely. By next week I'll be back in Knightswood" Damian replied.

Izzy nodded.

Damian said goodbye to go home because the day had begun to dusk and the flower shop owned by Izzy closed at five in the afternoon.

Next Day...

Damian parked his car in a public parking lot while carrying a pot of roses that are increasingly flowering. It seems to have to be broken down immediately in order to continue to grow healthy.

The man rang the doorbell of Izzy's shop and heard footsteps from the girl. Damian cursed himself for coming at seven o'clock in the morning while Izzy must still be sleeping. But I have to get to London before afternoon.

The sound of a lock opened and before long Izzy's face appeared from behind the door with his rabbit teeth which Damian said was very kiyut.

Izzy

"Good morning Dam" said Izzy.

"Pa. morning Izzy. Sorry if early in the morning has made you wake up" Damian seyum.

"Oh it's okay. I'm a morning girl anyway, six o'clock is up. So back to London?" reply Izzy.

"So. That's why I'm picking my roses." Damian handed the pot of orange roses to Izzy.

"Well Dam, this should be immediately broken into two pots because the roots have begun to clutter plus the flowers are also many" commented Izzy.

"I ask the experts for help. I go home to pick you up" said Damian.

"Sure, no problem." Izzy noticed how Damian was seriously taking care of his roses. "You're very painstakingly taking care of him Dam. I salute."

"Thanks. Oh, I gotta go. I don't want too late afternoon into London which is definitely jammed !" damian Smile.

"OK Dam. Be careful on the road" said Izzy.

"Let me bring some souvenirs for you, Betty and Jack. Food."

Izzy laughs. "Thanks Dam."

"See you next week, Izzy."

"Bye. Be Careful."
