it had only been a week since maddox had to say his goodbyes to autumn, and it had been so hard for the both of them - mainly because they weren't sure when they would see each other again, especially with how demanding and inflexible his job could be. the two weren't constantly calling and texting and snapchatting and facetiming, but it wasn't the same as being together, and it was killing him. he needed her present with him, sleeping in the same bed together, that constant reassurance that she was right beside him, figurativley and literally. thats why after only a few days of being seperated from each other, he had started plotting a surprise visit to her, where he would ask if she would be willing to move in with him - which of course, came with the question of her being his official girlfriend as well. he knew it was a huge step to take and a lot to ask of her, especially when they hadn't known each other that long, but maddox truly believed they were destined to be together, and he couldn't live with himself if he didn't at least take a chance with it. since the two were in contact digitally almost 24/7, it wasn't hard to figure out her daily routine and when to best surprise her. he also had a giant database for all the information for every citizen at his fingertips that may have assisted with that as well. nervously, he sat in the cafe she had frequented every day for a cup of coffee for the past month according to her transaction history, at around the same time of 11 am. he had a bouquet of flowers sat on the table in front of him, along with a cappucino he had been sipping on since arriving some minutes earlier incase autumn had showed up before her usual time. he wanted to actually, truly surprise her by seeing her in a place she wouldn't expect, but if it ended up he had to go knock on her door instead, that wouldn't be the worst thing. thankfully, almost like clockwork, the man watched her walk through the door and nearly lost his breath. although it hadn't been long since last seeing her in person, he couldn't believe just how beautiful she truly was. screens couldn't do her any justice, and he almost felt sorry for anyone who only was able to experience her through the screen of her livestreams or her instagram posts. but, the more he thought about it, the less bad he felt. she was about to be his girl anyways - well, hopefully. a grin spread across his features as he stood up from his seat with the bouquet, stepping in front of her walk way. "well now, who would expect to see you here of all places?" he teased, attempting to gauge her reaction. [ @redcvrpet ]
