Chapter 17 - Bloom II

"Can I pay him using my watch?" He asked which made me question if he's still normal.

"Uh, I don't think the store would take your watch. Let me see." I said and he showed me his watch and shockingly, my eyes widened seeing what it was made of. It was made of different gemstones.

How is it possible that he has a watch made out of gemstones but he doesn't have money?

"You really don't have money?" I asked him again and gave him a weird look.

"I guess I do, but I don't have any right now." He said and gave me a small smile.

"Well, alright then," I said and pointed at the lollipops, "you can choose anything, any flavor you like. It's my treat." I said and gave him a smile.

"What it has flavor?" He asked me, still freezing me in my place.

"Try reading the packaging, Levi." I said and shook my head.

I watched him as he reads the flavor of each one. I see the look in his eyes, the surprise and joy he seems to be getting as he check every flavor.

"Look mom! Someone big is checking lollipops, aren't they for kids only?" Said the child that passed by with her mom.

I kept the laughter inside me and turned my gaze to Levi. I saw how his eyebrows met, and he seems like he was annoyed.

"Rose, you didn't tell me these things are for kids..."

I laughed when he said that. Levi seems to be innocent from the world, he gives me these vibes that he's been kept from the world too long. "No Levi. These candies are for people who are into lollipops. Candies doesn't have a label for old or young. I love lollipops too, though I don't want to eat much because it's bad for our teeth.".

Levi was just silent and it was so amusing watching his reaction. Gladly he continued on checking the flavors and after a few more minutes, we ended up choosing the chocolate flavored lollipop, and the strawberry one.

When we finished our grocery we went out to meet Sister Riona and Aexis on the counter and when they saw us together. They seemed to be shock seeing us together. Especially that we seemed close already. "You guys look so good together, you look like a couple." Aexis said, crossed her arms and raised one of her eyebrows.

Sister Riona hit Aexis' shoulder with her hand and glared at her, "Aexis. You're so silly. Rose is still young and still my baby, don't be like that."

Aexis rolled her eyes before replying. "Yeah I know that, but you have to admit that they really look good together, right?" Aexis pointed at us with her hand.

Sister Riona let out a sigh and shook her head. "Well I can't admit what you are thinking, but they are both good looking. Leviathan is handsome, and of course our Rose is gorgeous as always."
