Everyone around the area gathered. Mostly behind Will.
My eyes tear up and I shake my head yes as I wipe away the tears and run to him. "I never stopped loving you." I said as I run. I wrapped my arms around him so tight. He wraps his arms around me back. Tightly. He rubs my arm once and nestled his head close and he whispers
"I'm sorry. I never meant-" I manage to look up at him, and kiss him. Everyone behind us applauded.
"I'm sorry too. I forgive you." I whisper back and continue hold him for what seems like hours but was probably only a few minutes. I never want to let go. "I never stopped loving you too."
I brought him home again when Emma pokes her head out.
"You're back together?"
His hand is on my arm. He looks to me as he says,
"Yeah, We are."
I look back at him then we both look at Emma.
She places her hand on her hips.
"Good. Hungry? Stone is thinking of opening his own place and wants to have some taste testers."
"After all these years!" I said.
"Let's dig in." Will says as he walks to the table.
Dinner was great as usual. We had all sorts of pastries, drinks, sandwiches, and stuff you'd find typically in a cafe setting.
This time it has a good vibe or feeling about it. Usually dinners are quiet or just makes me want to go to my room. This time I don't.
NOVEMBER
Will and I went on a date to Aftertaste. During our meal I tell him about my date and why I left.
"That's why you left?"
"Yeah."
"I would've too."
"Haha. Okay."
"Okay. Okay. So a Horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, 'hey. Why is there a horse in my bar?'"
I start laughing.
"Thank you, I stole that from the Mr.Tommy Her."
"Of course. Only he tells corny jokes like that." I roll my eyes and laugh.
Of all faces and all people, Will is my favorite.
December
"Over here Stone?" I asked holding a bucket of white paint.
"Yeah, right there. Thanks for helping you two."
"Yeah. Anytime" Will says.
I move the paint bucket and start placing the blue tape in designs. In swirls and plants made of small ripped pieces of tape. The designs will be a mint green and the rest will be white. The blue paint was for the register wall. Just blue. It was going to be called, Emma and Stone's. It's supposed to be like a cool cafe with less coffee.
January
"3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEARS!!" loud cheers come from the crowd of teens who are already drunk. But since I don't drink, I'm sober. As soon as we should happy new years Will turns and kisses me with a beer bottle in his hand that's connected to the arm around me. He's had 1 1/2 bottles but stayed sober.
February
"I love you Robin." I smile a huge smile. As soon as I do he snaps a picture. Its been a week since Valentine's Day and he's still surprising me. He already got me a lot of roses and a teddy bear that's almost bigger than him.
He took me ice skating and decided to take a picture of me as I struggle. After he snaps the picture he holds my hand (Did I mention I've never been ice skating?) As he holds my hand he starts recording a video. He skates away still holding his phone. I'm struggling still.
"Stop!" I laugh.
"No!" He laughs as I attempt to skate towards him. My arms are out in front of me.
"Come help me!" I laugh again.
"Fine." He holds the phone in one hand and grabs for my hand in the other.
March
"Happy one year. Kind of." He's right next to me. Staring at the sunset under the tree I read to him for the first time. On a picnic blanket with a basket beside us.
We clink cups. He kisses me.
"Happy one year to you too."
I lay my head on his shoulder for a few hours we stay like that. Slowly swirling our juices in our cups and stealing glances. In pure silence. I don't take my head away from his shoulder the whole time.
April
'Come outside.' He texts me. So I do.
He stands there with his guitar. He sits on our steps and motions me to sit with him.
"Two is Better Than One. You sing Taylor's place and I'll sing the Boys Like Girl's parts."
"Okay. What're we doing this for?"
"Showcase dummy."
"Right. They start auditions tomorrow."
"I know. Let's start."
"Okay."
"Here's the lyrics. You know the melody right?"
"I have it all ready."
"Okay, good."
He starts playing. Then he starts singing.
"I remember what you wore on the first date..."
