BEGONIA HARRISON was a trouble maker. And today was the day he went home from serving jail time. His mother was throwing him a party - and had come to pick him up.

"Harrison get out here boy." Came the guards usual gruff voice.

"Give 'em hell Gonia." A jail mate hollered, Begonia high fiving him as he walked past. That's when he saw his mother, it had been a month since he was last a free man. And he couldn't wait to fuck up again and get landed back here - saves having to go home to his family that weren't supportive or listening.

"Begonia." His mothers voice was cold and snappy, a sickly sweet smile as she greeted him.

"Mother." He replied with a snort.

"I don't want to see you back here again Harrison." The guard clapped the younger boy on the shoulder before letting the two leave.

Begonia and his mother were left in silence, staring at each other. "I heard you were throwing a party tonight." Begonia started, taking a step towards her.

"Yes, to celebrate your getting out of jail." She smiled - Begonia wished he could buy her lie. "I"m kidding, it's to celebrate you moving out!" She cheered. "I expect a gift from you - a fower perhaps."

Grinding his teeth, Begonia turned on his heel and walked away from her. Of course she wanted a flower - everyone wanted flowers. So unfortunately he had to go into the family owned store that kept getting bigger and bigger as the years passed.

Begonia hated flowers - probably his stupid mother named him after one - and flowers were unmasculine. He had gotten hell in primary school when one of the classes were learning about flowers - one of them was a Begonia. That sparked the events of Begonias upbringing - fights, heists and many more felonies.

So he smirked - his mother thought he was a felon, then he'd give her a felon. She said she wanted a flower - but if he used some sort of hidden meaning with it, he would feel more satisfied.
