*SCARLETT'S POV*
Once again,it's Valentine's day!
That one day that I loosen up a little,kiss a stranger,share my love with random people and shoot my cupid spears around hoping to land ona guy that with just one look at me,will fall in love.
I walk to Riley's flowers and decide to make it my spot of spreading love.
People came and went.
Some bought flowers while others took the free kisses that I was giving.
My lips started getting dry so I went and bought myself a bottle of cold water.
I am drinking my water when from a distance I spot a 6 ft tall man,with a small beard and we'll built body, walking towards my direction.
He doesn't seem to be in a Valentine's day spirit because he's trying down every florist who tries to sell him flowers.
He doesn't even look at the adorable couples doing their public display of affection.
"This one deserves an arrow from Little Miss Cupid!"I say to myself,taking up my bow and arrow and waiting upon him.
He walks past me,just a few steps away.
I use my arrow and spear and shoot at him.
I was expecting him to ignore me,but he did not.
He turns and there,I get to see his dazzling emerald green eyes.
"Happy Valentine's Day!"I say enthusiastically.
"And to you too,"he answers vaguely with an ugly smile that seemed forced to me.
"No,"I persist.
"No what?"he asks, confusion written all over his face.
"You have to say the whole statement. So,let's do this again,shall we? Happy Valentine's Day!"I continue persisting.
He sighs then gives in,"Happy Valentine's Day to you too, Little Miss Cupid."
"That's more like it!"I say with double the enthusiasm.
He once again wears the ugly smile and forces out a chuckle.
"You have got to stop doing that,"I finally say.
"Doing what?"he asks.
"Smiling like that!"
"Why?"
"Because it's clearly not a genuine smile."
"You're right. It's a forced one. But you can't blame me! This whole day is full of sh..."
"...language!"I cut him off when I see he's about to use the s word.
"Shit!"he forcefully completes his statement.
That alone makes me want to slap him but I holdback.
Valentine's day is a day of love and slapping isn't showing love.
So I do something else.
I give a hug on him and whisper onto his ears,"If you don't hug we back I'll be holding onto you for a very long time."
I hear him sigh then moments later,feel his muscular arms wrapped around my small waist.
"I was going to slap you,you know,"I say while we were still in the hug.
"Why would you do that?! And what makes you think I'd make you do that?!"he asks in a harsh tone.
"You have got to watch your tone,mister! It's Valentine's day and such times are not entertained!"I say,tightening my grip on his neck.
"You're suffocating me!"he says as he struggles to loosed my grip using his hands.
"No,no,no,no,no! Hands back on my waist!"I say, tightening my grip even more. "Unless you want me to continue making this even more uncomfortable for you!"
He obediently takes back his hand and I loosed my grip.
"You're insane!"he curses.
"You can say that again,"I say with a smile,feeling proud of myself for doing absolutely nothing.
"When are we going to stop hugging? It's getting uncomfortable!"he complains.
"When you promise to take me out for a Valentine's Day special dinner tonight,"I joke.
"I am not doing that!"he refuses.
"Well then,we will be hugging for a long time,"I say and tighten my grip once again.
"Okay,okay!"he finally gives in."I'll do what you want! Now will you stop suffocating me!"
"Maybe,"I say. "But not yet."
"What's the matter now! You have any other thing you want me to do?!"he continues to complain.
"Yes,I do,"I say."I want you to buy me a box of chocolates and bring it over at my house when you pick me up for dinner at 8."
"I don't even know where you live you crazy lady!"he says.
"That is an easy fix. Once I have your number,I will text you my address,"I say.
"Fine,"he says.
With that,we stop hugging.
I give him my phone and he types in his number.
Before he leaves,I send him a text of my home address and say,"I can't wait for tonight!"
He looks at me like I was some sort of crazy lady and walks away,nursing his neck.
