You sat at the table waiting for Bob to go pay for your meal at the front. You look at the table and realize he left his wallet sitting there. You stand up walking towards the counter and go to open his wallet so you could hand him his wallet when you stop in your tracks
There in his wallet was a picture of you. More specifically a picture of the two of you. You remember when it was taken, it was at a BBQ party Maverick was throwing as a celebration for a successful mission. At that party Rooster designated himself as the photographer taking photos of everyone there.
The photo was of you and Bob standing there laughing probably at some dumb shit one of the other daggers were doing. Though you were looking off to the side at the antics happening around you Bob was staring right at you.
His arm sling around your waist, finger tugging you closer with your belt loop. His smile was so wide and just…oh so genuine like he was truly happy in the moment. And his eyes…locked on to you with the most adoration, the most care, the most yearning. It could only be described as the look of love
But that didn’t make sense…this was your first date. You and Bob only confessed your feelings two nights ago. This photo was almost a year old.
“This photo has been in my wallet the second Bradly showed it to me fully developed. It’s been my good luck charm ever since. You are just… so pretty in it , so genuine, so really you and that fact that I got to be there. I got to be the one to witness your smile… I couldn’t help but put it in my wallet. That way I see it and…see you and suddenly I think things may be alright” Bob explained behind you pulling you close.
“All this time…” You asked softly, afraid to look at him, and you just felt him nod against your hair.
You bit your lip contemplating something before deciding ‘screw it’ and you turn around and kiss him. Bob stayed still stunned for a moment before kissing you back with equal passion and longing. He tangled his fingers in the hair at the nape of your neck and pulls you closer in by your belt loop.
You gasp and press closer, needing him, needing to be close, to know he's there with you. To know he wants you just as much as you need him.
Bob pulls away, his face flushed from lack of air and well…he did just make out with you in a busy cafe… he pressed his forehead to yours letting out a shaky breath “You have no clue who long I've been wanting and waiting to do that” He softly laughed.
“Same here…” you giggled feeling all the nerves and excitement of a new relationship. “Mmm seems we should do more of that” he teased kissing your forehead before pulling away but keeping you pressed close to his side
And that's the moment you knew, you knew on your first date. That will be your future husband, the man you want to spend all of eternity with and love. That’s when you knew he was the one.
