Chapter 10

Terry

We got up that morning and had a lazy breakfast. I’d worried things would be awkward. I’d had that experience before where you slept with someone and then it got all weird, but that didn’t happen with us. I really needed to work at least the morning at the flower shop. We decided I would go to work, he could try to get some of his own work done, and then this afternoon would be mine to do fun Christmas stuff. I was taking off all day the next day to finish up his house, so I didn’t feel bad at all about subjecting him to some Christmas cheer this afternoon.

We parted ways with a kiss, and everything just felt normal. I wasn’t sure what to make of it, but I was determined not to overthink it. I always over thought things, especially relationships. Not that this was a relationship, I mean I hoped it would be, but one night of fantastic sex did not a relationship make. The morning flew buy. It was good that I came in since I had more orders than I expected. Last year, when Mrs. Potter still owned the shop, we didn’t get busy until the week before Christmas, so I wasn’t really expecting this much business. I was able to get almost all of the arrangements that had been ordered made and ready to go so. I had a high school kid named Wally who came by and did most of the deliveries after he got out of school, and it looked like he’d be plenty busy today.

Jerri came in right around lunch. “Hey, Terry, how goes the house decorating?” she asked as she put on her Precious Petals apron.

“Great. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. It’s going to be beautiful. The house is amazing, even undecorated. They did a great job with the remodel. I really appreciate you filling in so I have time to do this.”

“I’m not complaining, extra money around the holidays is always helpful. Plus, it’s great to see you smile. I haven’t seen you this happy in a long time, if ever.”

“He’s a real nice guy, Jerri. I wasn’t sure at first, but the more time I’ve spent with him, the more I realize that I like him. But you saying you’d work the whole day tomorrow will really help. I think we’ll have the house finished up by the end of the day, and Jeremy is coming to do the front yard, so it should work out. Then he’ll be all set for the parade this weekend. Then the house tour is the next Thursday, so the timing should be perfect.”

The front door opened, and Jerri called out, “Welcome to Precious Petals,” like she always did. Our work table was near the back and that made it hard for people to see us. She insisted that made people feel welcome, and kept people from sticking things in their pockets because they thought they were alone.
