I Can't Believe You're mine....

It was a glorious, colorful autumn.

We'd just left the coffee shop. When we walked by, he had giggled and pulled me inside, saying, "C'mon, let's be basic white girls and get some pumpkin spice!"

I don't like coffee. I never had. But when he 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 he grabbed it.

As we walked through the park with our drinks, a light drizzle began to fall. he pulled out an umbrella from his bag, I pulled up my hood and hunched my shoulders.

"Don't be silly," he giggled, pulling me under the umbrella with him. I couldn't help but laugh too, his laugh is infectious.

As the sun started to shine again, he pulled me down to sit on a bench. he beamed down at me, and I could only gaze back adoringly.

"So Kookie..." he began. I knew this tone of voice, it's dangerous.

"Who do you like?" he whispered, and I looked away. I wanted to say, '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.

He looked at me with a cautious smile. "If I tell you mine, will you tell me yours?"

"Okay." I said.

"The person I like... ...is you."

I drop my drink.

"I've been wanting to tell you for a while though. I know you're not interested in me, but I-" I put my hand over his mouth.

he looks at me in surprise. I take a deep breath. "Tae, I-" My voice catches in my throat.

He removes my hand from his mouth, leans in a tiny bit closer. "What is it?" he asks, looking concerned.

Because I can't seem to form the words, I tell him how I feel the only way I can.

Before I can lose my courage, I lean forward, pressing my lips to his. After his momentary shock fades, he kisses me back; as his lips move against mine it's like there's fire in my veins.

His hands gently cup my face as mine timidly grab him by the waist. he pulls me deeper into the kiss, running his tongue along my lips and nearly making me moan.

I think, "I can't believe this is happening."

We finally break apart when we're both completely breathless. he tilts his head so our foreheads and touching. "Wow." he whispers.

I nod in reply.

"Kookie- so, does this mean..." She stammers. This is the first time I've ever seen Tae at a loss for words. I feel a bit proud of myself.

Finally getting courage, I grab his hands, pulling him to his feet. "Tae" I say. "Will you be my boyfriend?"

he squeals, jumping up and down in that way that I always thought was simply adorable but was never able to tell him. So I tell him now. "You're adorable."

I've never seen Tae blush before, either, but he does. he pulls me into a hug, and I rest my head on his shoulder.

"So, is that a yes?" I whisper against his skin, and he giggles, grabbing my hands and spinning me around. "Of course that's a yes, silly!" he laughs.

"Good." I say. "Because now I can do this again."

I press my lips to hers, and it's like everything else in the world fades. Over and over I keep thinking, "I can't believe you're mine."

I'm still thinking, "I can't believe you're mine" the next year when we move in together.

I think "I can't believe you're mine" as he walks down the aisle on our wedding day.

But the biggest "I can't believe you're mine" is when he holds our daughter for the first time.

I didn't think it was possible to love someone more every day, but Tae proved that wrong.

"Kookie? What do you want to name her?" he asks, both of them looking up at me with big, beautiful eyes.

"Autumn." I say, and he beams in agreement. "Autumn" he whispers, and kisses his little head.

And that's not the first, nor the last, of many, many, "I can't believe you're mine's.
