Chapter 3:

---{Faith's POV}---

I woke up this morning and headed for the shower. I felt groggy and needed something to wake me up so I decided to take a cold shower. The water hit my skin making me jump slightly at the cold temperature; after getting used to it, I did my normal routine with my pear scented shampoo and conditioner then washing my body before getting out. I walked to my wardrobe and took out some denim shorts and a light blue checked shirt that was cropped and tied at the front, I finally slipped on my striped TOMS before grabbing my keys and going to work.

When I got there, I parked in my normal spot and walked towards the shop; I heard the familiar ring of the door bells as I entered, and saw an excited Millie running towards me. "Faith!! Yayyyy!!!!" she screamed and hugged my waist. "Come on! Come on!" she grabbed my hand and pulled me into the back room where Katie was.

"Hey Faith," she welcomed me with a hug before grabbing her car keys, "I'm just going to pick up some more plants and seeds from the stock house, I should only be about and hour, maybe less. Do you mind watching Millie and the shop while I'm gone?" she asked, picking up her jacket.

"Yeah sure! No problem." I smiled at Millie. Her 3'6 frame stood next to me as she grasped tightly onto the back of my shirt; "We'll do some more flower arranging and a bit of seeding, sound good?" I asked Millie.

"Yayyyy!" she said as she ran into the back room and towards the green house.

"Thanks Faith, I won't be long." she said and walked out of the door. I strolled over to where Millie was stood in the green house, I grabbed a metal watering can and watered a few of the plants and seeds.

"How are they doing?" I asked her, referring to the seeds.

"Okay. They're germalating." she smiled up at me.

"Close. It's germinating. But I'll tell your mummy you got it right." I winked at her and she smiled turning back to the seeds. I made my way over to the new empty pots and began to set them up for when Katie returned with the new stock for the shop. "Hey Millie Moo! Fancy arranging some flowers?" I shouted to her, she walked up and nodded before I took her hand and led her into the front of the shop, sitting her down on the little stool and giving her the different flowers to choose from, before I walked over to the counter and dealt with some paperwork.

"Faith, do the roses-" she yawned widely before continuing, "go with these?" she asked holding up several bluebells, her eyes drooping as she waited for my answer.

"You tired Mills?" I asked, walking towards her and picking her up, she sat on my hip as her head rested on my shoulder. She nodded slightly before she started to drift off in my arms. "Lets lie you down then." I whispered walking into the back room and laying her gently onto the plush couch. I pulled the fluffy blanket over her and smiled - I'm not surprised she's tired, this child has too much energy!

I sauntered quietly into the front, finishing the last bit of paperwork, and headed over to Millie's unfinished arrangement. I placed the bluebells back and filled the bouquet with white roses, I watched closely as droplets of water fell from each petal and then to the plastic wrapping. I smiled and realised why I love working here - the amount of natural beauty I see on a daily basis, the peace and tranquility, and of course the people.

I strolled over to the card selection desk, it held different cards such as: ones for mum, ones for nan, ones for sister, ones for daughter, romantic ones, funny ones, poetic ones ect. I took hold of one that said 'daughter' on the front, before placing it in the hook and putting on display in the shop, as I did this the door of the shop swung open fiercely; it created a huge gust of wind and nearly broke the door bells.

"You!" a blonde haired woman pointed at me, "Are you Millie?! Where's Millie?!" she screamed at me, her eyes wide and her face was blazing red.

"Excuse me miss, may I ask why you want to see Millie?" I asked politely, slightly afraid of this rampaged woman.

"Don't play nice with me! I want to see this bitch who is cheating on me with my boyfriend!!" I furrowed my eyebrows as she glared at me. "Now tell me! Where the hell is she?!" she screamed pointing at me.

"What's wrong?" Millie walked in tiredly, rubbing her eyes.

"Nothing's wrong sweetie, just go back inside and go to sleep." I smiled to her, taking her hand and began to walk away with her.

"Hey!! I haven't finished with you! I want to know who the hell Millie is!! And why she is messing around with my boyfriend!" she screamed grabbing my arm as she pulled me back into the front of the shop, Millie coming with me as I held onto her tightly. I pushed her behind me protectively and began to speak.

"Listen, you have the wrong idea. Millie is not cheating on you with your boyfriend. You must be misunderstood. Now would you please leave?" I asked calmly, trying to hide my nervousness but failing miserably.

She walked closer to me slowly, intimidating me as she did so, "Listen Bitch," I covered Millie's ears as she remained behind me, occassionally sobbing into my back, "if you go anywhere near my boyfriend, I will hunt you down and I will find you! No one cheats on me, especially not with an ugly slut like you. You dare go near Harry again, and I will make sure you pay! Do you understand me?!" she gritted through her teeth. I nodded slowly, she was about to walk away before her heel stamped on my foot, crushing it beneath hers. I fell to the floor in agony, I knew she had gone after I heard the sound of the door bells go.

"Come here Millie moo," I said still on the floor in pain as I grabbed her and sat her on my knee, trying to calm her down. "You're okay now, I've got you. I'll never let anyone hurt you okay?" I asked and felt her nod slightly as she continued to cry, traumatised by what had just happened.

I picked her up slowly, trying not to put pressure on my foot, as I walked the both of us to the couch in the back room, limping as I carried her. I sat down with Millie still in my arms, rocking her slightly to try and calm her down, I knew it was hopeless as my heart was beating faster than hers was. What on earth just happened?!

---{Harry's POV}---

I got home to a missed call from Laura and decided to ring her back.

"WHAT?!" she roared into the phone.

"What's up?" I asked curiously, wanting to know why she was so mad at me this morning.

"You! You are cheating on me with a stupid slut of a flower girl! When where you going to tell me about 'Millie' Harry? I don't like being lied to, and I definately don't like being cheated on. Especially with some fat slut like her!" she boomed, confusing me.

"What are you talking about?!" I asked, still completely confused.

"I saw the card in the flowers Harry and it said 'made by Millie', so who the hell is Millie? How long have you been seeing her?" she asked still furious.

"I'm not seeing anyone but you Laura! The card says 'made by Millie' because they were in fact, made by Millie!" I yelled at her, slightly angry at her sudden accusation. She huffed before I continued, "Where the hell are you anyway?" I asked.

"On my way back to my apartment from that stupid flower shop!" she said almost hissing as she said it.

"Wait, you went to the flower shop?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I kicked off at that Millie girl there. You know the one with long brown hair, average height?" she asked. My eyes widened. That was faith! "Yeah and she had some whiney kid stood behind her crying! She wouldn't shut up!" she snarled. I shook my head in disgust.

"What did you say to them?" I asked, regretting it.

"I told her not to come anywhere near you, and if she did I would hunt her down and make her pay." she spoke simply, as if it was nothing.

"Right, I've got to go, bye." I said bluntly into the phone, completely furious at what Laura had done.

"Bye babe, see you soon." she cheered before hanging up. I need to go and fix this. I need to go and apologise. I need to see if they're okay. If she's okay.
