We arrived at a small cafe. I was slightly shocked that out of all the places he could have picked, he chose a cafe. Not that I was complaining, he just didn't seem like the type of guy to hangout in a little cafe.

We walked up to the counter hand in hand. The lady at the counter greeted us with a friendly smile.

"Hello how may I help you?" She asked politely

"Hi can I have a medium caramel latte with whip please" Joseph ordered

"Yes of course" she smiled putting in the order

They both looked toward me & my eyes darted toward the menu. It was a large chalkboard in the back that had multicolored chalk writing all over it.

"I'll have a chai tea please" I smiled at the lady

"That'll be 7.83" she smiled

Joseph handed her his card & she swiped it quickly. She handed him back the card with a small receipt.

He grabbed my hand & we walked over toward a cute little booth. Joseph helped me sit down & he sat himself down across from me.

"I didn't peg you to be the type of guy that came to cafes" I joked

"Hey, it's peaceful" he smiled

I reached my hand across the table & took his hand in mine. I kissed his knuckles & smiled at him. He was just sitting there staring at me with a small smile plastered on his face.

"What?" I asked putting our hands back down onto the table

"You're just so...perfect. I'm actually really scared because I've never felt so strongly toward a woman before. I didn't expect myself to fall so hard so fast. Veronica, you're the best thing to ever happen to me. I never want to see you sad. I always want to be there to comfort you & hold you when you don't feel okay. I want to be the one you can rely on. I want to share happy moments with you. And wake up to your smile. I want to explore the world with you. Even though it's only been about 7 months of us being together, I don't want to see you with any other man. Just me. So with that.." He trailed off

Joseph scooted out of the booth & kneeled down in front of me. He pulled a little red box out of his back pocket & opened it slowly.

"Will you please do me the honor and marry me?" He asked with a hopeful look in his eyes

My hand came to clasp over my mouth that hung open. My heart was hitting my chest at a miraculous pace that I couldn't keep up with. I could feel a pool of tears starting at my eyes.

"Veronica?" He asked looking at me intently

I grabbed his hand & pulled him up off the ground. I brought our lips together roughly while the tears fell down my cheeks. I pulled away slowly & looked up into his eyes deeply.

"Yes. Of course I will marry you" I smiled at him

"You have no idea how happy I am" he smiled widely picking me up & spinning me around slowly while our lips came back to one another

He put me down gently & held my left hand out. He grabbed my ring finger & slid the ring on my finger while giving me a soft kiss. He kissed me multiple times more before coming to kiss my forehead. Our foreheads resting on one another's, looking into each others eyes deeply.

It was..perfect. Not exactly how I had pictured myself getting proposed to when I was younger, but better. Way better. Joseph was a dream that I was lucky enough to have come across. I loved him so much.

"Me too" I smiled as we pulled out of the kiss glancing at the new piece of jewelry that adorned my finger

Our 'moment' was interrupted by a waiter bringing us our drinks. Joseph then took our drinks, setting them on the table.

I climbed into the booth & stared happily at my fiancé while sipping slowly on my chai tea.

"This is the happiest moment of my life" he smiled at me taking another sip of his latte

"You have no idea" I grinned taking my free hand to grab his

We continued our cafe date by talking about anything that was on our minds. And that's all we had to do. Spend time talking. Or just spending time together. That was all it took for me to fall deeply in love with him. And I couldn't be any happier.
