The Sweetest Thing ~Michael Clifford~ {2016} //Part 2//

~Michael's P.O.V~

I sighed as we began to close down the shop for tonight. I loved the scent of this place. It always had a calming aura around it. One that not many contained. Most smelled like fertilizer and poison. But here, it smelled mostly of beauty and innocence. If those even had scents.

But it mostly smelled like something else. Y/N. She always had this one scent that no one he had ever met had. I knew she didn't wear perfume. She was all natural. It was every sweet thing mixed into each other. It was barely explainable. Not even barely. It was impossibly unexplainable.

I smiled as I saw Aleena walk out of the flower shop. I could finally have some peace without her on my back all the time. It was easy to know that she liked me. But I knew she would only use me. Also, I didn't want to date her. I had someone else in mind. Someone more kind, more...him. I smiled, thinking about her.

I must have been day-dreaming, because Arianne was right there when I blinked a few times. Blinking me awake from my open-eyed dream. I smiled a bit and she took a breath. She didn't speak though. I became a little confused. She would usually speak after she took a breath. Did she not know what to say? She finally opened her mouth to speak.

"I saw you give Y/N that rose. Is there any meaning behind it?" She asked. My eyes widened. I bit my lip and looked down a bit. I had an explanation. But if I told Arianne....I don't know what she'd do. She's possibly kill me because she loved Y/N. Like her own daughter!

"I-uhm. I gave them to her because, as you know, she LOVES flowers. She buys them almost every day and I decided...that since she does, I'd give her a free rose!" I lied. I fiddled with my hands behind my back. I never though I'd ever lie to the woman, but if it was needed to...I had to..

She nodded and I took a sigh. "Well, I'll take that as false information. As we both know, the rose has the meaning of love, right?" She asked. I nodded. "Well, you'd give it to her....because? And don't lie this time." She asked. One of her eyebrows widened and waited for my answer.

I sighed and looked down a bit. "It-its because I love her.. From the first moment I saw her, I knew that she was the one for me. She welcomed me, and treated me like family. Sure, there were downsides, such as Aleena, but...there was always Y/N. She's kind, floral, natural...beautiful.. Who wouldn't love her?" I said to her. She smiled and put a hand on my shoulder.

"That's so sweet of you Michael. I'm honestly about to cry. I can see the love in your eyes as you speak of her. But at the same time, you know Aleena loves you. What are you going to do about that?" She asked me. I knew EXACTLY what to say about this comment.

"No. She doesn't love me. Not even a mere of like. She is attracted to me. Trying to find a way to screw me over. I've seen her in action with other men...." I replied. She nodded.

She placed a hand on my shoulder and smiled. "I know. Just take care of my Y/N..ok? She's precious to me, even though she's not in my blood.." She replied. I nodded and she walked out of the room.

I sighed and smiled a bit. I lifted my head up and took a breath. I nodded and got up. I was gonna head over to Y/N's. Hopefully, she wasn't asleep.

Finally! This chapter's out! Yay! This took so long to make and I don't know why. All I know, is that it's done. And it's good! Hopefully you enjoy!
