It was a glorious, colorful autumn.
Weād just left the coffee shop. When we walked by, she had giggled and pulled me inside, saying, āCāmon, letās be basic white girls and get some pumpkin spice!ā
I donāt 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 Iād 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.
āDonāt be silly,ā she giggled, pulling me under the umbrella with her. I couldnāt 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.
āSo Avaā¦ā She began. I knew this tone of voice, itās dangerous.
āWho do you like?ā She whispered, and I looked away. I wanted to say, āyou, you, a thousand times you. Youāre the only one I can ever think about. Youāre gorgeous and sweet and funny andā¦ā
Instead, I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at my cup.
She looked at me with a cautious smile. āIf I tell you mine, will you tell me yours?ā
āOkay.ā I said.
āThe person I like⦠ā¦is you.ā
I drop my drink.
