First day and Levi’s already out for a fieldwork. He trailed behind his boss, Hannah, a gorgeous mid-twenties woman exuding independence and flair. At a young age, she has established a name in the world of photography being one of the elite events photographers in the country. Her photographs transcends from the lenses of a camera to the windows of one’s heart. She breathes of art and passion.
“Ok, here’s our game plan: let them fall in love with gorgeous details and breathe romance. Our clients are Bohemian, free-spirited lovers. Truth, beauty, and freedom— we must capture all these moods. Talk, Levi.” Hannah turned.
“Salad!” he absent-mindedly answered.
“Salad???”
“I meant a salad of colors and patterns. Of daydreams, music, and love.” Levi smiled, easing through his stammering words.
Hannah gave a stern look but her eyes were smiling, “Anything else?”
“Teepee, curtains, vintage and classic stuff.” He continued, pointing anxiously across the yard. “How about a hippie car like that one?”
“You know what? I like you and your salad.” She nodded and smiled.

Here is for Flash Fiction for Aspiring Writers prompt. This week’s photo prompt is provided by S. Thanks PJ and S for another fun prompt.
I’ve been lurking around the world wide web in search for pre-nuptial themes. Yes, you’ve read it right. Prenup. I’m not getting married (yet) nor I have someone special to walk the aisle with (another yet). It’s just that… on some days, I want to imagine something beautiful like a wedding or prenup. Crazy? I hope not. So far, these two themes were my favorites for today: Foliage-themed and Boho-themed. XD

Levi was quick on his feet with giving an explanation for saying salad! I’m sure he will be more alert now and he’s glad she liked his his response. Maybe he can relax a little now. Great story in having the reader understand Levi’s being appsrehensive while working with his boss.

I feel a bit bad for Levi. Like this hot young woman has run over him like a train and he’s only trying to keep up. Maybe he can find a way to make himself invaluable to this young woman, share his wisdom, and creat the images she describes.
