[Chapter 08 - Every flower has a meaning. ]

2nd pov -
"Thank you, we'll take care of them from now." One of the wildlife rescuers said, taking the cardboard box with the baby raccoons from you, and then taking the cage from Dexter. He walked off to his car, before driving off.

"Well, i'd say that's it.. the kits looked adorable.. If I had any knowledge about animals, I would definitely keep them." You frowned, looking over at Dexter, who only chuckled at you. You then closed the door, and turned to face him.

"Would you like a cup of tea? I can make some, only if you want of course." You offered, and Dexter responded with a nod and a small 'sure'.

You guided him to the couch, and handed him the remote "You can watch anything! Its up to you" You then hurried to the kitchen, preparing a cups of tea for both of you.

You finished preparing a mint tea for both of you, and poured it into two cups, both of them white with one having a gorgeous design of a marigold. The other cup had a design of a blue rose.

Carefully grabbing the cups, a steam coming out of them symbolising they're still hot, you headed to the living room.

When you approached the living room, you noticed that Dexter has taken off his mask, leaving it on the table along with his cap.
His hair was fluffy and black.

You then placed the cups on the table, startling Dexter, whose attention was on the TV the whole time. "Ah, sorry for startling you, here, the cup with the design of a blue rose is yours. Sorry if I kept you waiting for a long time." You grinned at him and then sat down next to him, leaving ten centimeters space between you.

Dexter hummed in delight, staring at the cup in front of him. "It's fine, you don't have to worry. The cup's designs are really pretty, where have you bought them?" He turned to face you, resting one of his hands in his lap, while the other one was in the space between you two.

"Oh, I made these! I made them from ceramics, and then painted them white, and then drew flowers on them! I have more of these in my cabinet actually. The meaning behind why I picked out these two, because they remind me of us. Two of my really good friends said that Marigold fitted me, Marigold are also known as "The herbs of sun"! They symbolise creativity, positivity and passion in a person! They have more meaning behind them too, but this is especially why I pick this cup for me. And as for blue roses, I picked them out for you because..."

You stopped for a bit, shutting your mouth. You turned to face Dexter, who was looking at you with a genuine interest in what you were talking about. You panicked on the inside because you couldn't tell what he was thinking about.

"Oh no, I went on a rant, didn't I? I'm so sorry, once I open my mouth about something I like, nothing can shut me up until I realise it haha.." You laughed while fidgetting with your fingers, looking at Dexter with shame evident in your face.

Dexter then quickly frowned, noticing how quickly your mood noticed. "Oh nonono, please continue! I liked to listen to you talk so passionately about your interest in plants! How your eyes basically sparkle, and how confident you seem to talk about it. Anyone who thinks otherwise and doesn't care, is a stupid prick." He looked at you, grinning.

Your cheeks flushed a huge shade of pink, turning to look down at the floor. "Thanks goodness you're not a selfish prick, huh?"
You turned to smirk at him for a bit, before turning it into a genuine smile.

"Of course not, and may I ask, why have you picked out a blue rose specifically for me?"
He smiled at you, with a small tint of pink on his cheeks, unfortunately for him, he didn't have a mask on this time. He then turned to face the cup with the blue rose design.

You put on your chin, turning your eyes to look up, creating a dramatic effect.

You then turned to him, putting your hands in your lap.

"Blue roses because, they're mysterious and unique. Blue roses are unusual and beautiful. They remind me of you, you're open-minded, yet I feel like there's something more to you, you're pretty mysterious I'd say. Unique, there's not many people like you that I know. That's what makes you unique. But of course. That's only my opinion and I might not be right, after all. I did met you only today."

You chuckled, looking at him awaiting some sort of response.

"Am I suppose to take it as a compliment or an insult?" He looked at you, a small smirk evident on his face with his brows raised.

"As a compliment of course!!" You defended.

You then continued to joke around and talk about eachother's interests, getting to know eachother and growing closer.

• You were leaning on the doorframe, watching as Dexter put his mask on, before walking out of your house. When he got out, he turned around to face you.

"Farewell [Y/n], maybe we'll see eachother again." He grinned at you, making you giggle.

"Of course, i'll let the rats know to come to live in my basement so I have a reason to call you." You giggled again.

"No raccoons this time?"

"No no! This time, I'll adopt the next raccoon that lives in my basement.
Rats, bats, wasps, and everything fast.
But no raccoons." You looked at him, a proud grin present on your face.

"Wasps? You changed cats to wasps? Smart." Dexter complimented you

"Oh! That reminds me." He quickly went to look for something in his pocket in his yellow jacket, making you tilt your head.

"Here!" He finally found something and putted his fist in front of you.
You putted your hand under his fist, and he gave you a paper with a note on it.

"Gotta go now! See you someday!" He waved to you, before hurrying off. You looked at him while he was running, having his heavy bag on his shoulders.

You then looked at the note in your hand, carefully picking it up.

'Call me! [Telephone number]'

'I sure am collecting telephone numbers just like pokemon cards hah.' You thought to yourself, smiling slightly. You walked back home, looking around. In every room it was filled with many vases of various flowers. It made you feel at peace. The smell of the flowers, how calming they looked, and how the green looked good with your [favourite color] colored walls.

You went to your bedroom, quickly jumping onto your bed, checking the time.
'Jeez. 8:09 PM already?' A long sigh left your lips. You held the note in front of you, typing the numbers in. You named him 'Blue Rose' obviously. You wrote him a small message 'Heyy! This is [Y/n]!'

You then noticed all of the other unread messages you got. You then responded to all of them.

You putted the phone down on the small cabinet next to your bed, and rolled on your left side in your bed. You pulled the covers over yourself, curling up in them.

You closed your eyes. 'Forgot to text John and Jack about going to investigate with me the mansion.. I also forgot about going to the library.. the raccoon ruined all of my plans today jeez. But atleast I met the nice guy Dexter.' You smiled weakly, letting your thoughts go away as you slowly drifted off to sleep..
