Petals of Love

~May, 16th 1994~
"It's a girl!" the doctor said. Everyone in the room was so happy and the mother, Julie, was crying tears of joy. The nurse took the little baby over to her mother and handed her the baby "I've been waiting for you, you look so beautiful." Julie whispered. "Lfor a momentet me wash her up miss" the nurse said. Ruth, Julie's mother, walked over "Congratulations my dear girl, i'm so happy for you. Do you have a name for the girl?" Julie sat for a minute and whispered in a hoarse voice "Her name is Rosalie Belle Thomas. I want her to take my maiden name since Lance left us." Thinking of Lance made her start to cry. Lance was a boy she met a year ago and fell for, she even got married to him, but once he found she was pregnant he abandoned Julie. "Don't cry dear, he was a wicked man for leaving you with such a huge responsibility! Don't let him get into your head now, you just had a baby, enjoy the bliss of being a mother!" Ruth told her daughter. Julie smiled and that's when it happened. Julie's breathing had stopped. Everyone in the room was in a panic Julie was not breathing and her mother was crying telling her to breathe. Julie couldn't and was to weak and eventually her heartbeat stopped. The young mother Julie was dead. Ruth couldn't bear the loss of her only child. She went to where little Rosalie was kept and peered down at the girl "My granddaughter. It's funny saying that you know? Everything is going to be ok my girl, i will be there for you." Ruth picked the little girl up from her bed and hugged the little baby.

~Present Day~
I walked down the row of headstones and found the one i was looking for. "Juliet Thomas Laroux" I looked down at the headstone and whispered to god "Why take my mother lord?" I started to cry and i fell on my knees next to the grave. I cleared myself up within a few minutes when a grave-digger walked next to me "Are you ok mademoiselle?" I nodded my head "Yes monsieur, thanks" I got up and dried my tears and walked down the row to my car. I got in and drove into town. I turned onto the road where the little floral shop was. I parked my car and looked at the time. Dang! I am fifteen minutes late! As i entered the store my grandmother Ruth gave me a stare "Rosalie, where have you been girl? I've been worried! Are those tear stains?" she walked over and wiped my cheek "I went to the grave again" Granny hugged me "It's hard, i know dear. When i lost my mother i couldn't bear it." "Yes but you knew her Granny" she nodded and handed me my apron "Dear, let's not boo-hoo our entire life. Your shift started a long time ago. I have to run some errands and i'll meet you at home within a few hours." She walked to the door and stopped "Oh, and dear, a delivery man will drop off some roses in about an hour!" She walked out of the store and i was left alone. Today was a slow day so i went around the store watering the flowers and feeding them some plant food. I turned on the radio and "Young and Beautiful" started. So i started singing:

"I've seen the world
Done it all
Had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant
And Bel Air now
Hot summer nights, mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child
Will you still love me
When I'm no longer young and beautiful?
Will you still love me
When I got nothing but my aching soul?
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will"

I was interrupted when i heard a voice speak up "I hate to interrupt but you have such an angelic voice!" I turned around to see a handsome young man looking at me. I laughed "Thank you monsieur. I appreciate your compliment." He gave me a happy smile "I'm Niall Horan" he shook my hand "I'm Rosalie Thomas" "Enchanté" he said and kissed my hand. I blushed and he spoke up "I have an order to pick up for a bud of mine Zayn. He is giving it as a present for his fiancee" I nodded and went to the back to pick the bouquet up. "Voila!" He sniffed the flowers and picked one the roses out and handed it to me "Keep this" he winked and left the store.
Wow he was such a gentleman! But what if he was trying to get into my pants or something? That's what happened last time when i met a boy. Something inside me fluttered telling me "He's the one!"


Niall
After leaving the little shop i walked down the street with the bouquet. Wow! That girl Rosalie was something. Did i come on to strong? I've never felt like this before but it was love at first site. I couldn't keep my thoughts straight... I have to see her again. But heck i don't know anything really about the girl. My mind was racing with to many things i didn't know what to say. Plus she knew how to sing! She was so elegant and so talented. Rosalie Thomas. That girl was something.
