Chapitre 30: Do you like her?
"Mr. Knight... Mr. Knight…!" Dean called, shaking him by his shoulders and Asher suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Athena who was looking at him curiously from far away.
Asher turned around and saw Dean looking at him with a frown.
"Are you alright?" Dean asked and Asher cleared his throat as he nodded his head at him.
"Yeah... I was just lost in the smell of this beautiful flowers." Asher answered, making Dean smile.
"Thank you. We have the most different and beautiful flowers in the whole world…! No one could find them easily." Dean said and Asher raised his eyebrows at him.
"Well... Yeah, they smell so beautiful. And yeah, I have never seen these kinds of flowers anywhere though…! Where do you find them?" Asher asked curiously, making Dean smile.
"Even I want to tell you where we find these. But, I believe it doesn't concern you! This is business for a reason!" Dean answered politely as he didn't want to come out rude to him.
Asher chuckled listening to Dean's answer and nodded his head in yes.
"Sure... If you say so!" Asher replied, making Dean smile.
"So... What is the occasion? If you can tell me Who you are gifting the bouquet then I can choose some good bouquet for you?" Dean asked and Asher turned around to him.
"There is no such special occasion. I am going to just visit my grandparents grave who used to live in this town." Asher answered.
"Ohhh... Alright! Let me find a great bouquet for you then!" Dean said with a smile.
"Umm... Can't Rachel choose one for me?" Asher asked from nowhere, making Dean look at him in a shock.
"Huh? What?" Dean asked as he raised his eyebrows at him.
"Rachel…!" Asher answered as he pointed his finger at Athena who was smiling at the kids.
"Can't she choose a bouquet for me?" Asher asked.
"Rachel?" Dean asked and Asher nodded his head in yes.
"Yes... Isn't that her name? Or I heard wrong in the University?" Asher asked and Dean turned his head towards Athena.
"Ummm... Yeah... She is Rachel." Dean Answered.
"Ohh... Then, why would those kids call her Athena?" Asher asked, scratching his nose.
"Because that's her name." Dean just blunted out, making Asher frown.
"What?" Asher asked.
"Umm... Umm... I mean, Rachel is her real name, while we and the neighbors call her Athena." Dean answered.
"Ohh... Why like that?" Asher asked and Dean shrugged his shoulders.
"Ahh... It's just her nickname..." Dean answered, making Asher smile.
"Athena... Beautiful name." Asher replied, making Dean take a deep breath.
"But who are you to her?" Asher asked.
"I am just her friend…! This store is mine." Dean answered.
"Ohh... And where does she live?" Asher asked, making Dean frown at him.
"What? What are you asking, Mr. Knight?" Dean asked, making Asher sigh.
"Umm... I just want to know about her." Asher answered.
"Please don't..." Dean replied, making Asher frown at him.
"You like her?" Asher asked immediately.
"What?" Dean asked.
"Do you like her?" Asher asked.
"Mind your tongue, Mr. Knight." Dean said sternly, making Asher chuckle.
"You sound possessive too!" Asher replied, making Dean sigh.
"Mr. Knight, I believe you are just here for the bouquet right?" Dean asked, making Asher sigh but he nodded his head in yes.
"Great! Here is the Carnation... Hope your grandma likes them!" Dean said as he handed the bouquet to Asher, making him rue.
"I just want to talk to her for a second." Asher said as he was about to step towards the Garden.
"Excuse me... You can't just go to her like this. She doesn't like to meet any new people." Dean stopped him rudely, making Asher frown at him.
"I already met her... In the University... She will recognise me for sure." Asher replied but Dean shook his head in no.
"No, Mr. Knight... I am so sorry... But, you can't meet her for now." Dean said, making Asher frown at him.
"And who the hell are you to tell that?" Asher asked, raising his voice.
"But who the hell are you to talk to her?" Dean countered back, making Asher wide his eyes in disappointment.
None had ever talked to him like that ever before, and that was the first time that someone countered back the same line to him.
Asher was just so angry at him as Dean talked rudely and saw him looking angrily at him.
"If you don't leave from here right now... Then, I need to kick you away from here. And I won't regret doing that!" Dean said with his stern voice, making Asher make his eyes wide.
"You will regret this soon!" Asher replied as he handed his black shining card to him.
Dean swiped the card and handed back the card to Asher.
Asher took it and walked out of the store but before he left, he looked at Athena.
