I can't believe you are mine 😌

It was a glorious, colorful autumn.
We’d just left the coffee shop. When we walked by, she had giggled and pulled me inside, saying, ā€œC’mon, let’s be basic white girls and get some pumpkin spice!ā€
I don’t like coffee. I never had. But when she handed me my cup and looked into my eyes while I tried it, it was the best thing I’d ever tasted.
My hand still tingled where she grabbed it.
As we walked through the park with our drinks, a light drizzle began to fall. She pulled out an umbrella from her bag, I pulled up my hood and hunched my shoulders.
ā€œDon’t be silly,ā€ she giggled, pulling me under the umbrella with her. I couldn’t help but laugh too, her laugh is infectious.
As the sun started to shine again, she pulled me down to sit on a bench. She beamed down at me, and I could only gaze back adoringly.
ā€œSo Avaā€¦ā€ She began. I knew this tone of voice, it’s dangerous.
ā€œWho do you like?ā€ She whispered, and I looked away. I wanted to say, ā€˜you, you, a thousand times you. You’re the only one I can ever think about. You’re gorgeous and sweet and funny and…’
Instead, I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at my cup.
She looked at me with a cautious smile. ā€œIf I tell you mine, will you tell me yours?ā€
ā€œOkay.ā€ I said.
ā€œThe person I like… …is you.ā€
I drop my drink.
