Finishing This Coffee

Brad

It had been such a perfect night, Hannah was everything I had hoped for and more from a girl. She was funny and bubbly and chatty and beautiful and just perfect. We seemed to connect in such a special way and it makes me sound all soppy and lovey which I usually cringe at in films and stuff but it was truly happening and it felt great. I was walking her home, fingers entwined as we strolled and chatted about the world. "You never said what you wanted to be" I remarked, suddenly realising there was a gap in my knowledge about what I know about Hannah. "Umm..." she became doubtful for the first time that evening and almost nervous at the question I had just posed. "You'll laugh" I stopped walking and placed my hands on her shoulders, looking deep into her eyes. "I promise you I won't." She smiled before re-linking our hands and continuing to walk forwards. "Well I play the piano and stuff and I would love more than anything..." She paused, uncertainly "to sing" she hurried the last two words out as if they were some criminal sentence to her. "You would?" I asked, we were made for each other! "I have to hear you sing!" She shook her head vigorously. "No way! I'd never be brave enough, another time maybe." I hung my arm over her shoulders. "I'll make a deal with you, if you sing for me the next time we're near a piano then I promise that I will owe you a favour and it can be anything in the world." She looked up at me. "Now there's an offer I can't refuse." she giggled nervously.

Way too soon for my liking we arrived outside her house. "Thank you so much for everything Brad, it was an amazing night." she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tightly, I held her close and never wanted to let her go. "Thank you for coming. You are the most amazing person and..." I leant in, I didn't know if I was being too bold but I brushed my lips against hers, I felt electricity run through my veins. I went in again, her fingers ran through my hair as we kissed some more, more passionately by the second. Eventually reality brought me back from my moment of paradise and I had to watch her walk into her house, she gave me a little wave as she closed the door behind her.

I continued walking down the street alone on the way back to my house. Just as I was turning out of Hannah's street I turned back to see her at her window, peering out. She turned around quickly to pretend she wasn't watching me walk away. I smirked to myself then continued on my way home.
