Stargazer Lillies (JonTilda)

Oh for Christ's sake. She cursed internally.

"Well, I need flowers duh." he laughed, "I'm planning on giving them to someone."

"Oh," she tilted her head. "Who's this someone?"

"Um... My roomate?" he asked rather than answered.

"Well, let's go and see what we can get them." she smiled.

"Let's see," she tapped her chin in thought. She looked around the groups of flowers displayed on the shelves, "If it's for a very special friend I could recommend some yellow roses!".

Matilda picks up a bouquet of yellow roses arranged in a small vase in her hands. She raises it up for Jon to see.

"We have this special bouquet, it was a big hit last Friendship Day." she smiled, "How about it?"

"It's very beautiful really but..." he scratched the back of his head, "It's for a um... Well, actually not a friend."

Matilda frowned, "Hm?"

"I was planning on giving flowers to a... Girl." he blushed, "I've liked her for a while now."

Matilda could feel her heart shatter at his words. She clenches her fists and blinks back tears.

"O-Oh I see well." she sniffed trying to stop herself from crying.

"Are you okay?" Jon asked.

"I'm fine don't worry!" she joked, wiping her eyes.

"Okay." he said. "Do tell me if any thing's wrong."

Matilda tried her best to stay calm. She picked up a bouquet of stargazer lilies in her hands.

"Here." she forced out a smile, "These flowers are great for giving to your special someone." she frowned.

"They smell amazing," she sniffed. "They are also particularly a favorite of mine."

"Really?" Jon smiled.

"Yeah." she said, "The stamen leaves yellow stains but it's scent is great."

"I think this would do just fine." he took the bouquet in his hands.

Matilda wiped her face with her apron and straightened herself up. "Okay then, let's get that bouquet for you."

....

Jon waves goodbye at Matilda, she waved back. She watches sadly as Jon gets in his car and leaves. As his car faded away, she couldn't help herself.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, she buried her face in her hands, her body shook and she sobbed, unable to hold back her emotions.

"Matilda!" her coworker and good friend, Tamara called out. "Are you okay?"

She rubs soothing circles around her back. Matilda rubs her puffy eyes and sniffed.

"Jon came here just a few minutes ago." she said.

"And?"
