The First

        "There. There's your proof. Now you believe me, don't you?" I stood in silence, watching. I had to pull my phone out and capture the moment. After all, it was Kate's and Nate's first kiss. I could tell it was magical. It was far better than any disappearance or escape ever performed by a professional magician. The picture was nearly just as perfect. They both reluctantly pulled away after two minutes. Their eyes met instantly and I could tell they were both ready for the moment to repeat itself.

        "So now do you believe me, Kate?"

        "Haley, I can honestly say that you're my best and favorite friend."

        "Thanks. Nate, is there anything you would like to say?"

        "Haley, you are the best friend ever."

        "And? Anything to Kate?"

        "Well, Kate, I don't really see how we can be just friends if we're going to be doing that every day. Don't you think so?"

        "Uh... I..."

        "Kate, use your words. Answer him with your words." She knew I was joking.

        "Uh... Yeah... I... Yes?"

        "I'm so happy you just said that."

        "Aw!" Our area of the small shop fell silent as their lips locked once more.

        "Haley, I don't see how I could ever repay you for that. Thank you so much."

        "No problem. Just doing my job."

        "She's so perfect... And now she's mine. I think I'm the luckiest man alive."

        "Would you shoot me if I told her that?"

        "Probably not. But I really need to pay you back somehow. What can I do?"

        "I don't know. But I'll text you later if I think of something. Oh, I need to give you Kate's number. I gave her yours earlier. And I have the perfect contact picture for her. Let me see your phone and I'll send it and put her number in and stuff."

        "Okay. Wait, what's the picture? Nothing bad. You have to promise."

        "Promise. You don't know I took the picture. I already put it in her phone as your picture."

        "Oh. It can't be bad then."

        "It isn't. Just let me see the phone. Please?"

        "Here."

        "Yay!" Five minutes later I had her number and the picture of their very first kiss in his phone and a conversation started with Kate.

        "Okay, Haley, that is my favorite picture ever."

        "I know. It's mine too." I couldn't help smiling. This was the first time I had ever seen Nate so happy. I knew this relationship would be one of the very few that lasts for a long time.
