Colton's POV
(flashback)
The first time I saw her was in front of the café across the street from my uncle's gym. A few of my friends and I were just walking out the door when I saw her holding the door of the café for a woman pushing a baby stroller. She bent down and was talking to the woman about the child and smiling at the baby. She had the most breath-taking smile I have ever seen. She stepped into the café and started to walk across the street. My friend Mac yelled at me and asked where I was going. I just kept walking and yelled “food.” When I walked in, I scanned the tables to see where she was sitting but couldn’t find her. I looked over to the counter in the front and saw she was just coming out of the employee room tying an apron around her waist. Just then, my friend walked in, and we grabbed a table. She came over and handed us the menu's and took our drink order. I couldn’t stop looking at her. She had long light brown hair that went to the middle of her back, shapely curves and the most amazing hazel eye I have ever seen. Mac waved his hand in my face to get my attention, and I looked at him. He had a smirk on his face as he looked at me and then back at her. He poked me in the side and said, “Check out the waitress, she does have a fine ass”. I told him to “shut up”. His comment about her ass made me angry. I felt very possessive of her. She came back with our drinks and went around the table taking out orders. The guys were talking about the upcoming training schedules, but my eyes were fixed on her moving around the café. She brought us our order and asked, “can I get you anything else". Of course, Mac had to be Mac and said, “sure can we get your phone number for my friend here” and slapped me on the back. I just glared at him. I looked back at her and saw a blush creep across her face. She looked down and said, “sorry I don't have a phone” and turned around and walked back to the counter. The guys just laughed and started to eat.
I watched her while I was eating and every once and a while, she would look at me. When she saw, I noticed her looking. She turned, and I could see the blush creep back on her face. When we were done eating, we all got up. The guys headed for the door, and I went up to the counter to pay. She was standing there rapping napkins around silverware. She asked if “we were all set and if we wanted anything else”. I smiled at her and told her “No, we are good”. I handed her cash and said, “keep the change” and headed for the door. She yelled as I got to the door and said, “This is too much”. I told her the rest was her tip and walked out.
I made it a point to go to the café after that day to see her. I would sit at the counter if the guys were not with me, and we would talk about her school and about my training and family. I saw when the guys came with me, she was very nervous and didn’t talk much. She must not have been around guys that much. I did notice a few guys that came into the café were checking her out and it pissed me off. She was mine. Maybe not right now, but she will be soon. I had to make my move. So, one day before I left, I asked her to go on a date with me. She said yes. We had been dating for a few months and she was looking for an apartment at the end of the semester and I offered for her to move in with me and she agreed. It took a while to get her comfortable enough to make my move have s*x because she was a virgin, but it all worked out. She was mine now and I would never let her go.
