It's the Little Big Things

Coffee and more Coffee ☕

Candice and Grant meet at the Starbucks near their apartments. They arrive there at the same time.

Candice chooses the high table seat next to the fireplace. She glances a peek at Grant. She shows her coldness by rubbing her arms. Luckily, Grant is wearing a sweater and he offers it to Candice. Since Candice is so selfless, she says no.

Grant insists. She takes it and puts it on. Grant says, "I'm gonna order for us, what would you like?"

"I'd rather come with you." Candice replies.

"Ok, let's go then." Grant says.

Candice takes his hand and he helps her off the high chair. They walk hand in hand to the ordering station.

Candice orders an Americano with a brownie.

Grant orders a normal coffee with a chocolate chip cookie.

They walk back over to their table and start eating.

Candice looks over at a group of teens. One seems to be taking pics.

"They're taking pics, it's working!" She says.

"Yep, I guess they'll already get the idea that we're 'dating'." Grant includes.

"That's what we want right?" Candice questions.

"Yeah..but." Grant says.

"Are you saying you don't like pretend dating me?" Candice says nervously.

"No, I just wish I could tell you. How I feel.." Grant says the last sentence more quietly.

"Tell me then, you know I'd never judge you." Candice reassures.

"Okay, here's goes nothing. Remember when you and I had to do a line together to see if we had chemistry for the show? When I first saw you, I really wanted you to be Iris West because you were really good. I knew Danielle wasn't the one for the job. It was you. And then when you tweeted that you got the part, I legit replied to you almost instantly. I started developing feelings for you, but I felt you'd reject me. Those feelings started to grow. At comic-con 2016, I got really nervous and happy at the same time cause we seemed closer than ever. I don't know if you feel the same, and I know I should of told you sooner, but I did it now right?" Grant says hurriedly.

"I'd thought you'd never tell me, G. I do have the same feelings for you. That's why I was pretty glad that you agreed to doing this dating thing and why I blushed whenever you kissed me yesterday. Besides Carlos had some leads on your reasoning on having an interest in me." Candice replies.

"That little..." Grant mutters.

"It's ok, G. At least I have the same interests in you as you have me so.." Candice says.

"Well, this is awkward, do we still call this pretend dating or real dating?" Grant asks.

"If you want to date me for real, ask me out on a date properly." Candice says.

"Yeah, forgot all about that process." Grant says.

Candice laughs.

"Well in that case," Grant gets on the ground on one knee. The people around gasp. "will you go on a date with me?" Candice feigns shock.

She shakes her head yes. Grant stands up and kisses her. They break apart and hug.
