You sat in the corner at a cute little local café enjoying your favorite espresso with the perfect amount of whipped milk topping it. You had the perfect set up, your coffee, your phone but of course it was on mute since you didn't want to be bothered. You also had a book with you about a lover and chance meeting and you were captivated into this happy ending love story. You had a beautiful window showing as people walk by in your quiet corner and everyone is bustling on the other side of the room. You settled down and started reading where you left off, about half way through the book. After sometime you reached down pulling the hot espresso to your lips and taking a good sip letting out a soft satisfied sigh.

You then are startled when you hear a very gentle sounding voice. "That is a pretty good book, I like it too." Your book tumbles from your hand hitting the coffee spilling it down the front of you. Caught you off as the heat from the coffee hit your leg you jumped up and caught your foot on the chair and you felt yourself falling back until you felt warm strong arms wrapping around you saving you from the last of your fumble. As you look up your met with this very attractive man with chestnut brown hair and beautiful shining eyes back at you that you could easily drown in. He chuckled as he helped you to your feet. "T-Thank you. Um... I'm Y/N and you are?" You were trying to direct to try to avoid all the awkwardness that just happened. He smiled and leaned in wiping the milk mustache off my lip, the thoughts of more embarrassment had you blushing in seconds feeling his finger touch you like that. "My name is Hayato Ozaki. I'm head of Fukurou its a pleasure."

You sigh mumbling under the breath, "Great I'm I look like an idiot coffee down my dress, falling all over you and milk all over my face in front of an attractive man, oh what you must think of me now." You were sure you messed this encounter up royally until he lifted your chin up after you had already looked down. He pulled your chin up towards him and shook his head inches away from your lips. "When I see something I like, well I want it. I'm just sorry I startled you this is my fault. I will buy you the book again and your dress as well. Let me treat you maybe to a date to make up for this?" You are taken back by his words however you couldn't help but smile and blush a bit, he was so handsome who wouldn't want to date him. You nodded and agreed, he gave you the information of where to meet him at later. You rushed home waving to him with a smile to get ready.

You walked in the door even though your dress was stained with coffee that would probably never come out you had such a big smile on your face. Your cat Tiny wondered over rubbing against you, as you bent down to rub him you told him all about the encounter meeting and that maybe you and Hayato was like the book chance meeting that could be the beginning of a epic happily ever after book. You jumped in the shower to get cleaned up with throwing the dress away, wasn't a favorite anyways. You dug through your closet trying on one thing after another while Tiny sat on the bed washing his fluffy white fur, you were modeling for him. After a hour you ended up deciding with a dress that could be casual but was still a little dressy if he wanted to go somewhere a little pricier.

You show up at the restaurant and he was standing in front of it looking dashing in his casual clothes which made you feel more comfortable since you weren't some noble or fancy girl so a high class restaurant probably would be more awkward moments. As you walk up to him he pulls out a gift and hands it to you with a warm smile. "This is to make up for earlier, I wanted you to get to the end....." he whispers "Its my favorite part." You meet his smile with your own, your heart fluttering as you open it and realize its not only the same book but a first edition. With a shocked loop across your face you look up to him. "Oh, I can't take this it is a first edition this must have been expensive. I mean thank you though." You tried to hand him back but he wouldn't let you, he refused to take something he gifted to you.

He put his hand out for you to take and as you did he slid his fingers into your grasp, his hand was nice with warmth radiating off it but this made you happy. Without thinking you blurted out, "Be careful you keep doing this kind of stuff and you might have me falling for you." Catching yourself at the very end surprised you decided to be so bold it really was something you wanted to say in your head and only in your head yet now he heard it too. He gave you a small wink, "Who said I hadn't already fell for you and was waiting for you to fall to so I could catch you like I did at the coffee shop." You stood there in a daze you couldn't fathom someone saying that especially to you, in your mind you were nobody special yet here he is making you feel like your the heroine in your book being swept off your feet by a chance encounter.

Your cheeks were rosy red after that statement you bit your bottom lip not sure how to respond, he understood completely and like a gentleman walked you in to the restaurant still holding your hand. He was so outspoken with his thoughts you had never met anyone like him, and the intense way he looks at you its not hard to see yourself falling hard for this man. He was already tugging at your heart more than you imagined. He pulled out your seat even though it wasn't a fancy place he still was a gentleman enough to do this and make you feel respected, cared for and a lady. Dinner was nice, the conversation smoothly flowed and he understood things about you that most never do. Your heart felt so full with being with him, this was a fairytale of your own unfolding in front of you and Hayato was your prince.

When the meal was done and paid for he took your hand walking you out to the back garden of this restaurant and it as lit up with lights on each side. He walked you to a gazebo and helped you step up without falling. The night breeze was a bit chilly and as you sat down next to him he could tell you were trembling so he wrapped his jacket around you and pulled you close for his body heat to keep you warm. The starry sky was beautiful and could be seen so well from in his arms you found yourself nuzzling into him and he held you tighter. This chance encounter brought you the most amazing man and you knew now that you were falling hard for him and were excited where every day after this would take you. After the soft quietness and him holding you in the night under the lit gazebo, he broke the quiet sound with a different tone to his voice.

"I need to tell you something, I am part of the Yashiro family, I was put in an arranged marriage however my father said if I found love before the day I am to marry he will release me and let me marry who I choose. I know its sudden but I have a good feeling about you." He got down on one knee right there in the gazebo. His words ringing loud and clear as he looked up at you holding your hand. "Will you do me the honor of being my wife? Let me shower you with my love everyday we are together." Although you were still shocked he was noble blood but not only that but he wanted you. He was proposing and everything in your mind screamed no, somehow your heart made it to your mouth first. "Although, I'm not sure what our future will bring, I barely know you yet my heart tells me I should trust you. So my answer is YES, I want to marry you, I want to be yours and maybe have our own happily ever after." No sooner than you said what you wanted he lifted you up in his arms lifting you over his head. He slowly lowered you until your lips met, your eyes closed taking in the moment and the rest was history...you two were made for each other all because of a chance encounter you met the love of your life.

THE END!
