** I would recommend listening to the attached song/video when reading :) **

Okay, so this is a remake of the original one-shot I made, except this one has a happy ending. I know a lot of you wanted a happy ending, and I didn't want to write a part 2 because i felt that it was just one of those things you don't make a second part to. So yeah, enjoy :)

Summer comes, winter fades,
Here we are just the same.
Don't need pressure, don't need change,
Let's not give the game away.

"Hi, what can I get for you, love?" I asked the next customer in line with a gracious smile.

The dark haired girl looked up and met my gaze, smiling happily at me. Wow, is all I could think at that moment. She was beautiful. For a girl who's been working at that coffee shop for two years, I don't think I had ever come across someone as beautiful as her. That's a little strange to think about a stranger, but I didn't care because it was true.

"Please can I get an iced lemonade?" She asked politely, her dark brown eyes staring into mine.

"S-sure," I replied nervously, but having no idea why she made me nervous. I typed away at the till and looked back up to see her waiting patiently. "It'll be right with you. Do you have a name?"

Once I realised how stupid that sounded, I visibly face-palmed and heard her laughter echo around me. If her beautiful smile didn't hook me, her contagious laughter sure did.

"Yeah, I do," she said with a teasing smile, her eyes looking down to my name tag. She squinted her eyes at the small printed writing before continuing. "I'm Normani. You must be Y/N." I nodded my head and she met my eyes again. "I love your name. It's..," she paused to think of the correct term, "...different... Yeah. Different." She smiled confidently at me, flashing her perfectly straight, shiny teeth, causing my stomach to erupt into butterflies.

It was a good thing there was no queue behind her, otherwise I would be getting a lot of complaints right now.

"Thank you," I smiled shyly in return, nodding my head slowly. "I love your name, too. Beautiful name for a beautiful girl."

A light pink blush spread across her cheeks and my eyes widened once I realised what I said. There was no going back now, though, so I shot her a small smile and she returned it, peering up at me through her long eyelashes.

If only I knew that would be the start of something amazing.

There used to be an empty space,
A photograph without a face.
But with your presence, and your grace,
Everything falls into place.

I danced along to the music that played loudly in the background, a smile painted across my face as I watched my nephews and nieces twirl around beside me.

"I'm glad you came, Y/N," Johnny, the youngest of the four, said to me with a toothy grin on his face. It made my heart swell at the sight: he was adorable.

"Me, too, birthday boy," I smiled down at him, fluffing his hair, causing him to fix it and continue dancing to the music.

"I see you're enjoying yourself," a voice whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

I turned around and saw my beautiful girlfriend, Normani, (yes, the one from the coffee shop), standing there.
