   ' Today is the day. I'm going to tell her today. '

It was going to rain later that day but Scott had a plan he deemed as perfect. He was ready to confess his feelings to Anzai. He just needed to call her and ask her to meet him at the park. There he would confess to her and hopefully, she'll accept his feelings. He pulled his phone out of pocket and dialed her number, waiting for her to pick up. 

   " Hello? "

   " Anzai! " He shouted.

   " Scotty! " She shouted back.

   " On your lunch break, today can you meet me at the park? There's something I need to give you. "

   " Sure! What is it? "

   " You'll find out. "

   " Oh, come on! Tell me, please. " She begged.

   " Nope! "

   " Fine. I'll see you at lunch. "

   " Bye. "

   " Bye. "

He hung up and found himself smiling at his phone screen. He was so excited to tell her how he felt and he hoped she would say she loved him back. He got dressed in his favorite outfit and grabbed his keys for his car. He took the elevator to the lobby and everyone could see the love-struck look he had on his face. He got into his car and started driving across the city to find a slower shop.

He couldn't find a shop until he was on the other side of the city. There was a small flower booth with many flowers. He had parked and was looking through all the options he had.

   ' I know she likes the color purple so that limits my options a bit. '

He could only see three types of flowers that were purple. He examined the three types very closely before he finally picked out which one he liked the most.

   " I'll have a dozen of these. "

   " Oh, violets. If you don't mind are you giving these to your girlfriend? "

   " I'm giving them to a woman I like. How did you know? "

   " Violet's symbolize devotion, modesty, loyalty, and faithfulness. These are perfect for her. "

   " Thank you, ma'am. "

She wrapped the flowers up in a beautiful wrap and bow. Scotty paid the woman and realized what time it was. He got back in his car and started speeding to the park not wanting to be late. When he reached the park he looked around for Anzai. He found her standing in front of a bench near a tree in the center of the park. 

His smile became wider and he ran towards her with excitement. When he was behind her he wrapped his arms around her and held the violets in front of her.

   " These are for you. "

   " They're beautiful! "

He pulled away and she turned towards him. He held the flowers out to her and he took a breath of air to fill his lungs.

   " I need to confess something to you. "

   " What is it? "

   " Anzai I love you. These flowers represent loyalty, devotion, faithfulness, and modesty. I wanted to give you these to show that if you will accept me as I am that I will be all of these things to you and many more. I love you with all my heart and soul so will you accept my love? "

He held the flowers up to her and he watched as her happy face turned from happy into sorrow. He didn't know what to think, all he could do was feel the panic rise in his body. Anzai looked at the flowers before looking back at him.

   " Scotty that's really sweet but I can't. "

   " What? "

Scotty stood up straight and looked into her eyes and he tried to contain the sadness that over flooded his system. 

   " Why? "

   " Scotty I don't love you. I'm not looking to settle down in a relationship. I don't want a relationship, I want to keep moving. "

   " So, you just want to play with people? "

   " Sure, you can see it like that. "

   " So you were only playing with me? "

The wind had picked up and petals from the violets were being torn off and they danced with the wind. Small droplets of rain hit Scotty's skin as he continued to talk with the woman who broke his heart.

   " Scotty please understand. I'm a woman I have needs that can't be satisfied by just one man. I appreciate the confessing and everything but I can't return the feelings. "

   " Why didn't you tell me before? "

   " I thought it was obvious. Clearly you just couldn't open your eyes to it. Why d you think I came to the bar so often. It was to keep in check with you and find someone new. "

   " ... "

Scotty was speechless as he stood there holding the flowers. The rain had gotten a little heavier but not much.

   " Let's just end this here. Clearly we can't go back to the relationship we had before, now. "

She patted his shoulder and turned to walk away. The rain started pouring and he watched her form leave him all alone in the rain with flowers that danced behind her in the wind. Scotty felt a warmth trickle down his cheeks and he realized it was his tears. He was crying in the rain with only the stems of Violets in his hand. He walked home and threw away the stems and took a shower. 

Scotty tried contacting Anzai but she never answered his calls. He would go to her workplace but they said she had transferred businesses. he had searched everywhere but it was as if she walked off the face of the earth. Anzai had left him heartbroken and in pieces. He picked himself back up and made a resolution that he wouldn't fall for another woman again.

   ' She said that she was a woman who had needs. Needs a single man can't take care of. All women have needs and if that was hers I can't handle another heartbreak. '

So, he rejected women left and right. He didn't want to end up heartbroken again. He had fallen hard for Anzai and she threw him away like a used piece of paper.
