Fate

Cats and caffiene

Axel POV

I was basically jumping with excitement. This was literally the best week of my entire life. I had never been with anyone before, so I was also incredibly nervous. But the fact that Fleur had agreed to go out with me, noticed I was there when no one else had...

I was ridiculously happy.

The only problem was, my siblings knew me better then anyone, better then myself, if I had any change of behavior, they would definitely notice. And they did. Monty was the first to jump on me, bombarding me with questions like a little child wanting to know what the present under the tree was at Christmas.

Monty was the youngest out of the three of us, he was fifteen, then there was Tyler, seventeen, and I was the oldest being eighteen years old.

Monty immediately noticed how when I walked in I was smiling, and how I was basically skipping around the house with happiness. Then Tyler patted my on the back and told me congrats on the girl. I absentmindedly wondered how he already figured that out put waved it away as a stupid thought.

I tried to ignore all their questions as I rushed up to my room and shut and locked the door, immediately starting to dig for an ok looking outfit for our date.

I texted Fleur the address and what time she should come as I ran down the streets towards it.

The place was called Cats and caffeine, Tyler showed it to me when I turned 13 and that's where we celebrated, it was my siblings hangout place ever since. It was my favorite coffee place, it was on the corner of a street, usually not very popular but had excellent coffee, but the best part was, the owner had tons of cats. All types. All genders. Babies and adults. They would roam around the store whenever they pleased, and were extremely friendly. Fleur would adore it.

I sat into my favorite seat by the window as I waited for her to come. A little white kitten that was about the size of my hand was crawling along the table, nearly knocking over the napkins in the process. I laughed and picked him up, recognizing him. He was a new kitty, who also liked to be around this table. I called him Chairman Meow.

As I was playing with Chairman, I heard the bell ring and looked up to see Fleur walk into the shop. Her hair was down and flowed across her shoulders, just the way I liked it. She was wearing high waist shorts and a tank top, which looked extremely good on her. She looked around and took in the whole place in awe, her green eyes sparkling with excitement.

I waved her over to my table, and she happily came, immediately cooing over Chairman Meow.

"I call him Chairman Meow." I told her.

She laughed a bit, finally looking up from the cat. "Oh is that so?"

I laughed too, "Yeah."

She giggled, a sound which made my heart skip a beat, as she looked around.

"How did u find this place? It's-its amazing!" She stuttered out.

I began to explain, "Well, when I was 13, my younger brother Tyler brought me here and I loved the place so much we decided to celebrate my birthday there. We did it there every year since and I learned that the owner owned all this amazing cats. It's not that popular, but the place is really great."

She stared at me for a bit before saying,

"I think that's the longest sentence I've ever heard you say."

We both starting laughing at that.

For the rest of the time we just talked about each other, telling old childhood stories, asking about collages, learning about our families. I told her about Monty and Tyler, and she said she was an only child and she'd love to meet them one day.

Before we knew it it was 6:00, three hours later then we originally came, and we both decided it was probably a good idea to get going. She walked me to my house, which was only a few blocks from here, but she insisted that she can walk home herself no matter how many times I offered to drive her.

When we reached my house I sighed and turned to face her.

"Well, this is my stop."

She grinned and said "I had a really awesome time today. Like, really, I don't think I've laughed so hard or been so happy before."

I blushed.

"I-well I-I mean I'm glad you liked it."

She smiled at me and took a step forward. So did I. My heart nearly leaped out of my chest when her gaze flickered down to my lips, and I did the same. She flipped her long hair back gracefully and closed the distance between, igniting a spark between our lips. I let my eyes flutter close as I kissed her back. Her arms slid around my neck and I put mine around her waist, deepening the kiss.

I don't know how long we stood there, on the sidewalk in front of my house, kissing sloppily and with so much longing it hurt, it could've been a few minutes, it could've been a few hours, but eventually both of us needed oxygen so we pulled apart, panting like we had just run a marathon. After a while she stepped back a few steps, her eyes never leaving mine and said,

"Call me"

Then she began to walk towards her house.

I was exploding with excitement when I walked in my house, but apparently I had a lot of explaining to do.

Because my siblings saw the whole thing.
