Jake Alspaw scrambled off of his bike, his face flushed with red. The man was frustrated. His mother had hounded him with instructions and questions pertaining to the family flower shop for the past thirty minutes. Despite how he constantly told her that he could handle anything that came his way, his mother still fretted. Her worries followed him from the moment he jumped onto the bike 'til...now. He pursed his lips and brought his hand upwards to rub his face.
Jake had jumped for the chance to return to his home town when word of his mother's broken leg reached him. His father too busy bringing in money for the family and Jake being their only child, it seemed fitting that he swooped in to care for his mother's flower shop. The woman opened the small thing in the corner of the street when he finished high school to congratulate him for doing so well. And so, when he was asked to come, he came, knowing he wouldn't be doing much with his college break anyways. With a sigh, he wheeled his bike over to the side of the building and locked it to the small metal bar before making his way to the shop.
It was small, a blue one story building with white trimming. Two windows adorned the outside, each pouring with foliage. Hanging pots dangled from the ceiling, an assortment of lavender and other flowers were neatly organized. The entire place smelled like pink petals and rose. Avoiding the pots by the entrance, Jake entered the shop. The slight tingle of a bell followed behind him and he ducked underneath a particularly low hanging plant. He flipped the sign on the window over so it showed 'open'. Jake had assumed there weren't many customers at the shop. Actually, he figured there were none at all so he found it perfectly fitting for him to sit behind the counter. Nestling himself on a stool, he leaned back onto the wall and slipped out his phone to set an alarm. He would water the flowers in a bit after he took a well deserved nap. Around twenty minutes later, Jake was fast asleep with no worries at all.
