I will confess my love on a perfect day, on the perfect hour, in a perfect place, where I can see you shine.

❄️❄️❄️

Lane walked to the coffee shop anxiously awaiting Stephanie. He strolls in hearing a familiar chime above him. He missed this place. The warm, alluring, fall like scenery makes him want to snuggle up and write a good article. He turns to Stephanie's table and sighed.

He wasn't sure if this was a great idea.

He sits at her booth awaiting for her to arrive. He orders a black coffee and a pumpkin spice latte for her. He was scared that her latte would get cold before she arrived.

He starts to gaze outside glorifying the snow on the ground. Streets covered with footsteps and ice glazed over the pavement.

Snow is wonderful.

Lane didn't hear the bell chime. Stephanie has walked into the booth staring at Lane.

"The snow is so beautiful. Just like Stephanie said." Lane muttered.

"Really. I'm glad." She huffed taking a sip of her latte, "Thanks for the latte. I appreciate it. "

Not as much as I appreciate you.

"No problem. I hope it's not cold." Lane said nervously.

"Of course not. Everytime I order a latte its always scorching hot. I tend to burn my tongue a lot. "

She's so cute.

Lane couldn't help but laugh. He let out a loud whole hearted laugh. Stephanie just stared and smiled. She felt warmth in his voice. His laugh sent shivers down her spine. She wanted more of him.

Stephanie tilted her head in confusion but continued talking.

"So, why weren't you here yesterday?" She asked tapping her fingers on the table.

"I had a meeting at work. "

" So you're telling me out of all the days you come to the coffee shop; which is every day. You didn't come because you had a 'meeting'. " Stephanie described smugly.

Lane sighed. "You got me", he says putting his tan hands up in defense, "I didn't come yesterday because of you." He says poking Stephanie's nose.

"Me? Why me?"

"Well, cause you're bea-. Let me start over." Lane sighed and started again.
"You're an amazing, beautiful, girl that's caught my eye since day one. You are the only reason why I come to this coffee shop everyday," he says grasping Stephanie's dark hand, "The way you smile gives me shivers. You're laugh is something so sweet I want to get high on. I want to talk small talk with you all day. The way you flip your hair through the wind makes me want to run my fingers through your locks."

Lane's deep green eyes stares into her brown eyes.

"Stephanie," he says deeply," I don't know how to says this. But I'm like you. I like you a lot. More than a lot actually. "

He confessed. He finally confessed.

She stared right into Lane's olive eyes.  Her eyes traced every line on his face and he did the same.  She notice a small stubble growing on his chin and wanted to touch it so bad. 

"Stephanie I love you."

Stephanie looked away immediately. She was embarrassed. She couldn't fathom why a guy would like her. But in reality she like him too.

"I love you too. " She said with a smile revealing her white teeth that gave Lane a flushed look.

Lane squeezed Stephanie's hand and she's squeezed back.

The two sat in their own bubble again. Constant glorious stares, chilling finger tracing, lovely side giggles. The two were madly infatuated with each other and they loved it.

Stephanie's hand lingered along Lane's arms, trailing up and down.  Soon, the windows started to get dark and they began to pack up and leave.  Outside the two held hands and walked out together.
