Five years ago, Harper and Jeremy got married after being swept up in a whirlwind romance. As the years passed, the excitement wore off and now they are into the years of their marriage that take a lot of work. However they are both struggling to co...
You know that feeling when you're really looking forward to something, so the days leading up to it just seem to drag on forever? That was this week. I couldn't stop thinking about Friday morning and being able to see Harper again. Every night we would talk for a few hours, and she even video called me a few times while she was in her office working.
As the week went on I found myself really looking forward to being able to talk to her. Work was getting more stressful with the release of Eagle Eye: MIA getting closer, and something about talking to her every night just made all of that disappear.
Finally as Friday morning came, I woke up well before my alarm. I smiled as I laid in the dark of my room.
I get to see her today.
While I waited for my alarm to go off I scrolled through our messages and looked at a few of the pictures on her profile. I know I'm in forbidden waters. I know this is all a horrible thing to do. But I can't seem to stop. I can't stop the feeling in my chest when I see her name pop up on my phone. I can't stop the rush and the smile that comes when she video calls me. I can't stop.
Turning off my alarm at 6:30, I got out of bed and quickly showered. After drying off, I shaved my neck, trimmed my beard, and styled my hair.
It was still cool in the mornings, even though it was almost June, so I put a pair of dark jeans and a light sweater over a t-shirt. Walking out to my car, I picked the playlist I wanted on my phone, and headed towards the coffee shop.

As I looked for a parking spot, I saw Harper's Tahoe towards the back of the parking lot, and I parked next to her. When I walked towards the door, I saw her through the window sitting at the same booth as before, and reading a book. Stopping for a moment, I just watched her as she played with the string connected to the bag of tea leaves in her cup. Stepping through the door, I walked over to her and slid into the seat across from her.
She was so naturally beautiful. Wearing jeans, a black crop top, and an oversized grey cardigan, she looked at home in a small coffee shop.

"Hi." She said with a smile when she looked up from her book.
"Hey. Whatcha reading?" I asked as I leaned forward and looked at the words on the page.
