"Do you remember when we first met?"
The bell above the door chimed when you entered the retro coffee shop. It was your favourite place to sit and read your book, so that's what you did at some point most days. However, today there was a man sat in your spot. You looked at him for a moment but you couldn't see his face as he was looking intently at a poster on the wall to the side of the booth. A quick glance around the cafe told you it was full and there were no spare seats. As you came in everyday and were good friends with the manager, that table was always reserved for you - but since everywhere else was full you guessed she had had to let the man sit there. You took a deep breath and walked over to the table.
"Excuse me?" You asked softly, not wanting to startle him. The man turned around and you recognized him but you weren't sure where from! You just smiled and kept your thoughts about his beauty to yourself. "How may I help you ma'am?" You smiled even more; and then realised you looked like an idiot so reigned in the smile! "Yeah, it's just the rest of the cafe is full and I usually sit here so I was wondering if you'd mind if I sat here?" You said quickly, gesturing to the reserved sign. He looked at it and his face dropped. "Oh I'm so sorry ma'am! I didn't see the sign! Do you want me to go?" He said looking very apologetic; and a little like a lovable puppy. You giggled at how flustered he looked shook your head. "No, no it's fine you don't have to leave!" He looked torn between leaving and staying. "Are you sure?" You nodded "As long as you don't mind me joining you?" He smiled again and gestured to the seat opposite him. "Of course!" You out your bag and coat on the bench before turning to the back of the cafe. "I'm going to go and get a coffee, do you want anything? A refill maybe?" He stood up "No, no I'm fine! I'll go get it for you! What do you want?" You frowned slightly. Why was he offering to buy you a drink? Shouldn't it be the other way round? "No its fine, I'll get it! I should be the one getting you a drink!" The man shook his head and put a hand on your shoulder, gently pushing you into the seat. "Nonsense, now what do you want?" You thought a moment before telling him your order.
When he came back with the drinks you realised you hadn't given him any money for it! You fished in your purse and pulled out some money, going to hand it over to him. He pulled both his hands back and refused to accept it. "Come on! I can't let you buy me coffee - I don't even know your name!" He held out his hand; for you to shake, not to take the money. You sighed and accepted his hand "I'm Steve Rogers." You recognised that name as well! "Shelby" you said as he leant forward and kissed your hand. You blushed immediately. Once he pulled back you spoke again - trying to take the attention away from your flaming cheeks. "Please take my money!" You pleaded. Steve just shook his head. "No! I tell you what, you can buy the next lot of drinks." You grinned and looked down, he was implying you would stay and talk together; like a date.
For a while the two of you just talked, about pretty much everything; including the book he noticed in your bag. This reminded you of something. "Do you like the poster? I saw you looking at it earlier?" You asked pointing to the poster on the wall. It was a poster of an old man wearing red, white, blue and stars - obviously symbolising the American flag - and pointing out to the reader telling them to join the U.S army. When Steve looked at it his eyes saddened. "I don't like it, but it reminds me of lot of things." He sounded so sad when he spoke, it made your heart break. "What do you mean?" He turned back to you and you saw the twinkle reappear in his eyes. "It reminds me of the war." He said to you. A frown appeared on your forehead as you spoke "What do you mean 'reminds'? World War Two was over seventy years ago..." You trailed off as he grinned widely. "You don't know who I am, do you?" This confused you even more and he chuckled at you puzzled expression. "I'm Captain America."
You straightened up in your chair and held back a gasp. "I knew I recognised you!" He laughed again before speaking himself. "You honestly didn't know me?" You shook your head, when you heard his question. "Well thank you then!" You frowned again. "Everybody only wants to speak to Captain America these days, but you just wanted to speak to Steve." You smiled "Well Steve happens to be a very sweet guy!" He blushed and you held back an 'Awww' at his adorable face. The two of you talked for a long time about him and how he was adjusting to the 21st Century and then moved on to you and then onto pretty much everything else in the world!
A waitress came up to your table and told you the cafe was closing and asked for you to leave. As you left the cafe Steve announced he would walk you home, much to your delight! You carried on talking on the walk and sadly reached your apartment quickly. "I'd love to see you again sometime soon Shelby!" Steve said nervously and you quickly agreed.
You snapped back to the present, three years on, to see Steve sat across from you in a fancy restaurant. You smiled as you realised you'd been daydreaming about when you'd first met. "Of course I remember!" He grinned and well and began to speak again. "Shelby these past few years haven't been easy, especially with Bucky and SHIELD, but you've been there for me the entire time. I couldn't have done it without you! I love you and everything about you from how gorgeous you look first thing in the morning, when you're still all sleepy and snugly, to way I have to get things off the top shelf for you. I love the way you blush whenever I complement you and I love the butterflies I feel whenever I look at you. I love each and every part of you in its own special way." He paused and took a deep breath before standing up, stepping to the side of the table and kneeling down. Your hands flew to your mouth and a gasp escaped; attracting people's attention. He pulled out a black box and said "Shelby will you do me the honour of becoming Mrs Rogers?" A tear escaped you eyes and you whispered "Yes" before jumping out of your seat and wrapping your arms around Steve's neck as he stood up. His arms snakes around your back and held you close as people around you applauded. "Oh thank god" you heard Steve whisper causing you to giggle. He pulled back and gave you a kiss before holding out the ring and slipping it on. "I love you." He whispered "I love you more" you replied before kissing him again.
