Noah says to me, and I laugh, Adonis stares at me before he says anything.
“You look beautiful.”
He tells me and I blush looking down at my feet.
“These are for you.”
He hands me a bouquet of Irises,
“Adonis, they are beautiful.”
I say through a gasp, and he smiles, Liam and Noah smirk.
“Yeah, took him forever to find a store that sold them, we basically dro-”
Suddenly Adonis elbowed him in the stomach, and we laughed. I gestured to them into the home, and they walked in thanking me. The boys greet my friends, and we all open a bottle of wine. I walk to the front to put the flowers in a vase when I hear something. I look up the stairs but don’t see anything, I shake my head thinking I am imagining it.
“This all looks amazing.”
I walk into the kitchen and see the boys are also salivating like hungry puppies. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I have them help me set everything up and we eat the food. Laughing and talking about random things. I get up to clear the plates.
“Oh, we got that Lillian.”
Noah says.
“Call me Lilly, that's what all my friends call me.”
I say with a smile, and he grins even wider. Him and Liz take the plates, and Adonis comes over to me.
“Care for a walk?”
I nod and take him to the back.
“Whoa this is beautiful.”
He says as he looks at the cherry blossoms.
“My dad planted it here when he bought the house, my mother wanted to chop it down, but I refused and said she couldn't.”
I say as I run my hand along the trunk. Looking up at the blooms.
“Is that him?”
He asks me, as he walks over to where my father’s shrine is. I smile.
“Yea that's him.”
He looks at the shrine and looks back at me.
“You have his smile and eyes.”
He tells me and I blush. He turns back to the shrine and kneels in front of it. He then begins to say a prayer for my father. My heart flutters nearly out of my chest. When I see him there, I want to cry not of sadness, but fear, because now I think I know how I truly feel about Adonis. He opens his eyes and smiles.
“What?”
“Oh nothing, your father came to me and said something.”
I laugh.
