josh pov

     i sat in my car for a moment, debating whether i should meet this man. he was albeit, slightly creepy, but he was very handsome nonetheless. i sighed. pushing the keys into the slot and turning them, i let my car chug to life. it shuddered for a second, and settled itself, the light frost on the exterior melting off as i drove out of the parking lot and towards the park.

      there was only one park in this town. it was mostly just some trees, grass, benches, and a gravel pathway, but the fall foliage and cool air made it beautiful. i sat on the bench right in the middle, by a small fountain that had long ago stopped working. i watched leaves float in the dirty water for a while, until i heard the crunching of dying grass approach me.

      "hey. do you mind if i sit here?" the man, tyler, said, gesturing to the bench josh perched on.

"n...um...not at all," i smiled, sliding over a little to let him sit down.

i took a moment to process what he was wearing. it was more casual than his normal dress, which i liked. he wore a simple button up polo and a light jacket, with some jeans and plain black shoes. (tyler has glasses sorry forgot to tell ya) the way his glasses made his eyes a little bigger was absolutely mesmerizing.

"well, hi. i'm tyler, and i think you're very cute," he said, finally breaking the few seconds of silence.

"th...w...th-thanks. i'm j-josh, and you're...you're very...very...handsome," i reply back, blushing harder than i should.

he smiled at me, and i looked away, because he was just so handsome. he wrapped his arm behind the bench, hanging his hand on my shoulder. i looked back up at him.

"so...do you wanna...walk somewhere?" i asked,
gesturing to the coffee place right across the street.

"sure, i'll buy," he replies, casually taking my hand in his and starting toward the shop.

     the road was deserted, since nobody drove if they could walk to their destination. the sidewalks bustled, and we quickly ran across the street to the shop. he opened the door and held it for me, and i gave him a smile.

"hi! what would you like to order?" the cashier smiled at us.

"uh...i'll take a medium french vanilla latte with soy milk please," i said, and then look at tyler.

he orders and pays, striding away from the cashier to find a table to sit at.

     "so, you always come to the shop in fancy clothes. why is that?" i asked, sitting down.

"well, i'm the ceo of a large corporation, and i'm constantly working," he said in a hushed tone.

     "th-that's so cool!" i replied, a little too loud, causing people to glance over.

he just smiled at me, looking into my eyes. gosh, they're such pretty brown color. i looked away, too shy to keep eye contact with the man. he gets up, and walks over towards the pickup counter to grab our drinks, and sits back down. carefully, he places my coffee in front of me and cups his hands around his own. we both take a sip, not realizing how hot the drinks were, and burning our tongues. we both giggled about it, push them off to the side to cool.

"well, i suppose if we're going to be hanging out with each other a bit more," tyler started, "then we should probably know how old the other is."

     "i'm...um...i'm 24," i said, blushing and bringing my left hand to my face.

"oh. i'm 29," he replied. (y'all it's his parents' company btw)

"that's okay! you're still really handsome!" i said, hoping to make him feel a bit better.

i reached for my drink, and it warmed me up inside. my whole body felt tingly, like there were happy ladybugs all over me. i didn't know what this feeling was. i put my drink down, and spaced out for a second. when i came back into reality, tyler's hand was curled around mine. i glanced at it, and maneuvered so that our fingers were laced together. i smiled at him and he reciprocated the action, taking another sip of his coffee.

"wanna get out of here?" he asked, breaking the comfortable silence.

      "yea, i do."
