The following day I didn’t go to school, since Dad explained to the principal what happened, so they also allowed me not to go in for at least two weeks, well I’m good at acting that I’m still very traumatized even though the truth is I’m pretty okay. I’m just lazy to go to school. Besides, our family is strong at school so our principal can’t refuse. I decided to go down to eat because I’m already hungry. When I opened the door, something hit me in the face so I closed my eyes. I was hit in the eye. I open my eyes and I saw a bouquet of daisy flowers and of course the man holding it is no other than Mister f*cking Kliosate Atticus Havero.

“What are you doing here!?” I shouted, even though I haven’t been able to brush my teeth yet, he was lucky that he was blessed with fresh air.

“I’m here to give you this,” he said and attempted to hand me the flowers.

“I don’t want it!” I insisted.

“So, what do you want? This flower or…” He brought his face close to mine, “or me?” he added with his signature lip bite smile.

“None of the above!” I shouted at his face, it’s a good thing I didn’t spit. He took his face away from me.

“That’s not included in the choices,” he said and he teased me.

“Klio, please stop. Stop playing with me!” I told him seriously.

“I’m not into games, Leyra,” he said and before I could even speak he added something that gives my heart a little bit relay race.

“I’m into you,” he said.

I’m into you.

I’m into you.

I’m into you.

I’m into you.

I’m into you.

I’m into you.

I heard it over and over in my brain. I covered my ears and shouted.

“STOP!” And now he’s laughing at me. “Klio, just leave please!” I was very annoyed with him.

“If you accept these flowers, then I’ll leave.” He handed me the bouquet and I have no choice but to take it, for him to leave. He started to walk down in the stairs. “Don’t throw those flowers, mother nature will get angry and don’t forget to read the letter, love!” he added and after a while he vanished.

I didn’t listen to him, I still threw it away, may mother nature forgive me. I couldn’t go down to eat because I was annoyed, so I just sent the food to the maid. Since I was bored, I thought of taking the letter from the flower, I was also suddenly curious. I was surprised when I saw the letter in the glass. It was like a keychain, seriously? That’s why it was a bit heavy when I took it. Luckily, it didn’t break. When I opened it, it has a daisy petal in the glass, and it was written in glitters. I read it.

“Daisy, a lovely flower,

For a lovely woman, this I offer,

Know that this flower is a sign of purity,

Just like my intentions are pure for you, my Lady. “

It’s not a typical letter, it’s a poem. Mister f*cking Kliosate Atticus Havero wrote and gave me a poem. The next thing I knew I was already smiling.

This can’t be. No! I need to stop this strange feeling.

The other day he still gave me flowers together with his flowery words. This time it was a different flower.

“A stunning red camellia,

For a beautiful lady with a class,

Mismatch with no other fellas,

You’re a flame in my heart no one can cast. “

I’m in love with his words.

So, to make it short he does that every day and he never fails. The last time I said, I will not let Spain invade a Filipina. I changed my mind. The consistency he gave me, is what I needed. The way he values me feels like I was a precious jewel and, that makes me fell in love not just in his words anymore but also to the person who wrote it. I repeat. Leyra Madrid is in love with f*cking Kliosate Atticus Havero.

The next morning, I already expected him to do the same. Just like what I said he never fails. I saw him downstairs laughing with my mom. When he saw me, he stood up immediately and greeted me with a sweet smile. That smile once I hate is what I love to see every day.

“Oh, Lady is here,” Mom said and before I could speak, he handed me a sunflower, I smiled.

“For you, my Love,” he said with his sultry and sweetest voice

“I wonder where you got these different kinds of flower and some of them are rare to find in here?” I asked him.

He just smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, what matters is the person who’s receiving it.” It’s embarrassing to say but I shuddered, I hope you too. I just smiled at him and read the poem.

“I offer this Sunflower,

To the woman I will only love forever,

A sign of deepest adoration,

From a man who only wants her love and affection.”

I don’t know but tears started to fall from my eye, it was tears of happiness, I guess. The next thing I knew I was hugging him now that leaves him in shock and everybody in the house including Dad who just came home.

“I’m so sorry for treating you so bad, Klio,” I said while hugging him he was a little bit taller than me by the way so it’s not an issue.

“Even if you didn’t ask for it. You’ve already forgiven.” He wiped my tears with his knitted camouflage handkerchief.

“Now Klio, it’s my time to give what you’ve asked for.” I smiled at him. He gave me an excitement look.

“Do you mean?”

“Yes Klio, I accepted your love!”

“So, you’re officially mine?” I can see the excitement in his face.

“Yes! I am all yours f*cking Kliosate Atticus Havero!S!” I screamed.

“Lady your words!” Mom interrupted.

“Sorry, Mom.” We just laughed with a little bit tear in my eyes.

“Klio, I just want to remind you, don’t break my daughter’s heart. Even if you’re my boss’s grandson, I’m still watching you.” Daddy’s order. He really loves me.

Klio looked at me and answered my Dad.

“Yes, Dad!” Klio pledged.

His self-confidence might reach heaven, maybe Lord will take you. I’m just kidding, Lord. I will submit myself to Spain first.

He was 20 when he had me and I was 18 when he’s officially mine.

So, that’s the story highlights of how we met and how our love blooms. The rest of our love story is history.
