Young Love

*Two weeks later*

The past few weeks have been pretty boring for Justin and Ariana. Work, take care of their kids, sleep, repeat.
The two young parents have exchanged a few kind words or quick texts, but haven't really caught up at all.
That's why, on Tuesday, Justin texted Ariana to see if she wanted to meet up at the little coffee shop they went to before while their children are at school.
Ariana is currently rushing around to get Liam ready for school on time. Justin is meeting her at Beechtree so they can walk to Starbucks together and Ari doesn't want to be late.
"Liam honey, where did you last see it?" The brunette mother asks in distress, looking under tables and on top of shelves to find her son's book bag.
"I don't know mommy." Liam responds innocently, doing nothing whatsoever to aid his mom in the search.
Ariana sighs, grabbing his hand and leading him out of the door. He'll just have to go without his bag.
The two young people reach the preschool a little later than usual, and Ari sees Justin standing by a little plastic tree, his hands in his pockets.
"I'm so sorry." She apologises, kissing her son and watching him run into the nursery.
"That's okay. Wanna go?" He asks, holding out his hand for Ariana. The beautiful brunette smiles at the young man's actions, taking it and beginning to walk to Starbucks with him.
They make light conversation on the way, talking about their work and kids. It was a huge struggle for Ari to get her boss Lilly to let her have a day off, so much so that she had to fake a family emergency.
When they arrive at Starbucks, the little café smells strongly of coffee and chocolate chips, and feels warm and inviting in the November weather.
They sit in comfortable silence for a while, admiring each other.
Justin loves Ariana's soft brown eyes and beautiful dimples that deepen when she smiles, the same way that Ariana loves Justin's sweeping blonde hair and gorgeous inquisitive eyes.
"So, are you doing anything for Bella's birthday?" Ariana asks, sipping on her beverage with a grin. Justin gulps his drink and leans back thoughtfully.
"I don't know, I was thinking of getting someone to dress as a princess or a fairy or something but I'm not sure I know anyone willing to do that." The blonde chuckles, shaking his head.
"What do you mean? I wouldn't even have to pretend to be a princess." Ariana giggles, cocking her head to the side which makes Justin burst into laughter.
"I mean sure, if you want to be covered in pink glitter and made to sing Disney." The young man responds.
"I love Disney." Ariana pouts jokingly, finishing her iced coffee and sliding it across the table to where Justin's is.
"What do you say we head to the park?" The blonde asks nervously and the brunette giggles, holding her hand out over the table for him to take.
The bold move surprises Justin but he takes the woman's petite hand all the same and both adults slide out of the booth, ready to face the chilly November weather once again.
They reach the park in 20 minutes, despite the fact it's only 5 minutes away, due to the fact the two adults are strolling along, hand in hand, chatting to one another.
"Shall we sit here?" Ariana giggles, plonking down on the bench, misjudging the distance and falling off the end onto her butt.
Justin tries to look concerned, reaching for her hand but when she starts to chuckle he can't help himself and bursts into tearful laughter.
"A-Are you ok?" He wipes tears from the corners of his eyes and grabs the brunette's hand, pulling her up to sit on the bench next to him.
Justin's strong tug causes Ariana to land on the bench at a rather close proximity, so much so that she can feel his warm breath against her face.
She freezes, looking up slowly to connect her gaze with his shimmering hazel eyes, full of inquisitiveness.
Instead of pulling away like the young woman expected him to do, Justin trails one hand up to cup the side of her face and blinks at her carefully.
Both adults breathe deeply at the prospect of what is about to happen, leaning towards each other and snapping looks between each others eyes and lips.
Ariana connects her rounded lips with Justin's, butterflies erupting in her stomach and her hand grazing the boy's hoodie, searching for something to grip on to.
The kiss itself only lasts for about ten seconds, but that's all it takes for fireworks to crash inside Ariana and Justin's minds. Although they have only known each other for a matter of weeks, they feel a connection.
"I-I-" Ariana stutters out, breaking the silence but Justin cuts her off by placing his hand on her thigh and smiling cheekily.
Ari grins, turning her attention away from the blonde and relaxing into the bench for another comfortable conversation with him.
