Chapter 1

It was a glorious, colorful autumn.

We’d just left the coffee shop. When we walked by, she had giggled and pulled me inside, saying, “C’mon, let’s be basic white girls and get some pumpkin spice!”

I don’t like coffee. I never had. But when she handed me my cup and looked into my eyes while I tried it, it was the best thing I’d ever tasted.

My hand still tingled where she grabbed it.

As we walked through the park with our drinks, a light drizzle began to fall. She pulled out an umbrella from her bag, I pulled up my hood and hunched my shoulders.

“Don’t be silly,” she giggled, pulling me under the umbrella with her. I couldn’t help but laugh too, her laugh is infectious.

As the sun started to shine again, she pulled me down to sit on a bench. She beamed down at me, and I could only gaze back adoringly.

“So Ava…” She began. I knew this tone of voice, it’s dangerous.

“Who do you like?” She whispered, and I looked away. I wanted to say, ‘you, you, a thousand times you. You’re the only one I can ever think about. You’re gorgeous and sweet and funny and…’

Instead, I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at my cup.

She looked at me with a cautious smile. “If I tell you mine, will you tell me yours?”

“Okay.” I said.

“The person I like… …is you.”

I drop my drink.

"I've been wanting to tell you for awhile though. I know you are not interested in me, but I-"

I put my hand over her mouth.

She looks at me in surprise. I take a deep breath.

"Nancy, I-"

My voice catches in my throat.

She removes my hand from her mouth, leans in a tiny bit closer.

"What is it?" She asks, looking concerned.

Because I can't seem to form the words, I tell her how I feel the only way I can.

Before I can loose my courage, I lean forward pressing my lips to hers. After her momentary shock fades she kisses me back, as her lips move against mine it feels like there's a fire in my veins.

Her hands gently cup my face as mine timidly grab her by the waist. She pulls me deeper into the kiss, running her tongue along my lips and nearly making me moan.

I think, "I can't believe this is happening."

We finally break apart when we both are completely breathless. She tilts her head so our foreheads touching. "Wow." she whispers.

I nod in reply.

Finally getting courage I grab her hands pulling her to her feet.

"Nancy", I say.

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

She pulls me into a hug and I rest my head on her shoulder.

"So is that a yes?" I whisper against her soft skin, and she giggles hugging me more tightly.

"Ofcourse it's a yes, Silly!"

I press my lips to hers.

Over and over I keep thinking.

"I can't believe you're mine."
