It was just an ordinary morning like every other day. I opened up my shop's door, turned on the lighting and prepared everything else, ready for welcoming my customer that would start to come anytime soon.

I owned a botanical and flower shop. But different from any other ordinary one that you used to see around this city, besides selling decorative plants, fertilizer and other plant materials, my shop also provided exotic and rare botanical plants, and some botanical elixir from plant's extract.

The shop wasn't too big, there were many shelves filled with pots of plants and materials, and a main counter where I used it as my activity center. With dim lighting and located at the corner of the street, it didn't look so flashy. But it sold various botanical stuff and it was the only kind of shop around here, making my shop never run out of customers.

Like any other day, I checked on my look once again at the wall mirror there. Here I was, standing tall with a plain white shirt and chino pants, my brown wavy hair neatly combed back, looking dapper as always. I was ready for today.

I sat behind the counter, waiting for my first customer to come. I didn't have any assistant here, as I didn't need help from someone who wasn't as competent as me, I could handle all my things by myself.

Day went by and customers started to come.

One.
One.
And another one.

I served them like a good owner I was, as always. A routine that I had done everyday for almost three years now.

It was already afternoon now and almost time for me to close my shop. But I was still waiting for that one particular customer.

That one hadn't come yet.

I checked the watch on my wrist and decided to wait for a while.

10 minutes.
20 minutes.
Still no one came.

I sighed, and walked towards the front door, ready to put the closed sign on it.

"Hey wait, are you still open ?" A sudden voice greeted me, making me look at the voice's owner.

It was her, the special customer that I had been waiting for all day.

"Can I come ? I promise I won't be long." She asked again.

"Sure, come in." I said, gesturing to her to come into the shop.

She walked in, and I followed her from behind. I saw her picking up some stuff from the shelf as I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

She was beautiful.
She was so beautiful.

She started to come here around a week ago, and she came often. Sometimes to buy some fertilizer, sometimes just to look around the various plants at my shop.

And she hypnotized me from the moment I saw her. Her beauty was so alluring, drowning me into her.

Long sleek hair, soft fair skin, dainty figure, a feminine form that really suited my taste. Completed with those little dimples that appeared when she smiled, she was such a perfection.

She wore just a casual shirt with jeans and sneakers, but that didn't diminish her charm. Even though I would prefer if she dressed in a more feminine way, she must've looked more beautiful in a soft flowy dress, with few inches heels.

"So how much are these all ?" She asked, standing in front of the counter, ready to pay her stuff.

I snapped from my daydream, and came to her. I processed her payment, and she said thank you as she smiled at me, when I handed her the paper bag filled with her stuff.

She walked towards the front door, leaving my shop as I kept staring at her from behind. She was finally out of my sight, and I smiled. I turned off all the lights, closed my front door and locked it.

My day was over then.
