Sighing, I checked my watch for the fifth time. It wasn't like Andy to be late, he was usually early or on time, but this time was different. Something felt wrong. With one last look around, I dragged myself up off the bench and began walking away. The wind picked up and I tightened my jacket around myself, trying to make myself warmer. Then it started to rain. I groaned loudly in frustration and jogged into the nearby Costa, taking off my jacket and throwing it over the radiator. I took a seat at a table and buried my head in my hands.
"Kaitlin?" a familiar voice questioned from behind me, "Babe, what's wrong?"
I looked up to see Andy, his face plastered with a look of concern. I stood up and jumped into his arms, hugging him as tightly as I could. Tears streamed down my face without warning, causing him to rub my back soothingly. He pulled away and gently stroked my cheek with his fingertips, gazing into my eyes.
"I've missed you so much" I whispered softly.
"I've missed you too" he mumbled, before gently pushing me back into the seat and sitting next to me.
I rested my head on his shoulder,as he put his arm around mine and snuggled into him. We stayed like that for ages until my phone pinged.

Me: Gotta go, love you nerds x
I put my phone back in my pocket and then snuggled back into my gorgeous boyfriend. He ran his fingers through my hair, the way I've always loved it, and kissed the top of my head. I smiled into his chest, sighing contentedly. I felt him smirk into my hair and I blushed. Pulling away, I asked him if he wanted something and he said he'd buy. He returned a few minutes later with two hot chocolates with marshmellows and cream. I quickly but carefully grabbed the drink from his hand and took a sip, savouring the mouthwatering flavour. I placed the mug down and he laughed.
"You've got a chocolate moustache" he laughed, picking up a napkin and wiping my face.
"I'm not a baby, Andy!" I protested, "I can wipe my own face."
"You may not be an actual baby..." he remarked with a smirk, "But your MY baby girl"
I blushed profusely and he stroked my face, smiling.
"You know" he said, slowly, "We've been dating four months now... And we still haven't kissed."
I smiled at this. "Hmm..."
I continued to mock think, tapping my chin and scrunching up my face thoughtfully, just to wind him up. He groaned and took a large drink of his hot beverage. I, too, continued to drink mine but finished it with in seconds as soon as the warmth touched my lips. I put my mug down and inched closer to him, slowly. He turned to me, placing a hand on each side of my face. Slowly, we began to lean in...
