Everything you want

Somebody

It took a half hour with the traffic to get to this little coffee place. It was cute, and smelled of gingerbread and peppermint...

We stood on line and I was staring down at my boots. Something about being with Steven, this close to him, made me nervous. It wasn't so much who he was, though it did play a role, but just because of him. To breathed in some of the delicious air air and heard my stomach growl, and I realized just how hungry I was. I grabbed my stomach and closed my eyes, feeling sick.

Steven looked at me "Amy?" He said, grabbing my arm gently and turning me to look at him "Are you alright baby?"

"Y-Yes, I'm fine, just hungry. They have food here, right?" I said as I looked up into Steven's warm eyes.

"Yeah honey, it's all good here." Steven assured.

I smiled and looked at Steven when he turned away. He was... Very attractive, and so... Nice. Not what I expected from someone of his age or status, and I liked it. I think Steven sensed my staring and turned back to look at me. I turned away quickly and felt heat rise in my cheeks. He made me nervous, the kind of nervous that Gabriel made me on our first date.

Gabriel. Shit.

I knew I should tell him I wasn't going to be home right away, but I didn't want to tell Steven I had to call my fiancee. I didn't want him to know I was engaged. So I took my phone from my pocket and sent Gabriel a text instead.

Went to a cafe for a hot chocolate. Be home later.-Amy

Gabriel answered right away, and something about him answering that quickly startled me. I still don't know why. It was such a simple text too, just an "Okay, I love you." It scared me. It wasn't obsessive or anything, but it made me uncomfortable. Maybe because I thought just standing next to another man was cheating. I didn't even know yet what I was going to do in the upcoming months...

Steven and I reached the front of the line, and I spotted cookies in a display case "Oh, those look good" I said, licking my lips a little, my stomach growling again in approval.

Steven laughed-My God, his laugh-and order our hot chocolate and my cookie. I went to pay for my cookie and drink when Steven stopped me.

"No, baby, I'll pay"

"Are you sure?" I ask, hesitantly pulling my hand from my purse

"I'm positive" Steven said and winked. I smiled back at him and followed him with my drink and cookie to a table in the back.

For the next half hour we just talked, we laughed, we bonded. It was great. For the first time in a few weeks things felt.. good. Steven was making me happy. Happier than I've been in a while. I swear, in that first half hour I was falling for him.

"Do you have to go home?" Steven asked sadly

"I don't want to" I said, frowning "I'm having so much fun" I looked out the window and sighed. Did I need to go home? All that was waiting for me was my fiancee. That should be enough to make any loving bride to be to go home, but I didn't want to. I took a deep breathe and looked at Steven "No, I don't have to. What do you wanna do?" I asked Steven, grinning

"My place? We could watch a movie" Steven offered.

It was simple, and I like it. "Yes!" I said and we drove to his house.

When we got there, Steven told me I could put my winter things on a hook and join him on the couch. I hung up my coat and hat and scarf on the same hook, and took off my boots and put my gloves in them. I looked at my engagement ring and quickly took it off, putting it in my pocket and walking into the living room. Steven was already sitting on the couch with a blanket laid out. I walked over happily and sat down next to him, and Steven put the blanket around me and his arm around my shoulder.

"What movie do you wanna see?" He asked me as he turned on Netflix.

"Hmm.. How about the Princess Bride? Love that movie!

"Alright baby" Steven said and turned on the movie.

About halfway through I felt really tired, so I laid my head on Steven's should and slowly fell asleep.
