Roses for the thorny one

For those of you who have followed the soap opera, As the Pizza Turns, I have another chapter for you...

This evening the UPS guy showed up at our door with a box from Pro Flowers and a big smile.  I think the UPS guy loves handing out flowers at this time of year.  He'd probably find it even more entertaining if he knew the full story behind the box.  Of which I'm about to tell you.

Some of you may remember this character from the saga... Ziggy.  Ziggy has made a few too many appearances over the past few years.  Mostly because he's a horny dude who still hasn't figured out how to get into her pants and is stupid enough to keep trying.

Ziggy has tried to impress her with all kinds of things including going to the extreme of borrowing a 911 Porche to pick her up in a date one time.  Still he keeps getting turned down.

Like a few too many guys, Ziggy trolls Carley's facebook page hoping and praying she'll dump the boyfriend.  She broke up with John last week. Almost immediately her phone chimed from Ziggy, "I miss you."  So they've been conversing for a week now with no intention of ever dating, at least not on her end, because he's in Georgia and we're in the frozen tundra far away from his parents house in Ohio. During one of their conversations she told him he was like a dandelion... he keeps coming back no matter how many times he gets cut down.  He immediately replied, you're like a rose... beautiful but painful to touch.  LOL  He does have a great sense of humour.

Cut to today when I brought the box in and handed it to Carley.  Her eyes went wide and she had a confused look on her face.  This sort of thing has happened before.  This isn't her first time getting roses from a boy who she doesn't have any interest in and is confused about who it could possibly be from because he isn't the only boy she talks to.

She opened up the package and there was no card.  So now she has to go about the task of figuring which boy the roses came from.  I was guessing either John (the former boyfriend because they are still friends and he's been very apologetic about what happened) or Ziggy, but we knew Ziggy didn't have our address.  Since she was texting Ziggy at the moment she said she had gotten a box hoping he'd admit to sending them.  Eventually he did admit to getting her address from one of her friends.

Obviously Ziggy is up for another round of getting cut down like the weeds in the yard. I mean really?  RED roses?  Come on, he's just begging to get cut down again.
