      But I didn’t even look at the flowers.

     “Mike, go away,” I was close to begging. “I don’t need anything from you. And I’m not mad at you. Just leave me alone.” I said it in a tired voice.

      I turned around in the direction of the entrance when suddenly the guy stood in front of me and again held out the bouquet.

      “I’ll leave as soon as you take the bouquet,” and he looked at me so seriously as if his life depends on my decision.

      I took a deep breath and grabbed the bouquet. Maybe now he’ll leave me alone.

      “Farewell forever, Mike.” It was the last words I said before I went in.

      “See you later, Mia!” I heard the voice far away behind me.

     I went into the apartment, and firstly, I put the bouquet in a vase. The flowers are not to blame. Let them stand and smell.

     Oh, that’s already the end of my long-awaited weekend. I think I’ve been more tired these two days than I’ve been in a whole week.

     I flopped down on the soft bed to fall asleep quickly because I have to go back to work tomorrow. But I couldn’t do it.

     Every time I close my eyes and those, as dark as night, eyes popped up in front of me, stealing my dream.
