Breakfast is the most important meal of the day

9 o'clock he said. Meet you at the market square. We first intended to have coffee before work, but decided to turn it into breakfast while were at it. 9 o'clock and he was waiting nervously on the market square. My arrival was casually almost 5 minutes late, on time would be trying too hard, right?! What if he would be late, I'd be standing there on time, waiting.

I see him from a far distance, I try not to hurry, but feel my legs taking an unknown speed-walking speed. His pearly whites shine in the fresh sunlight and soon enough we give each other a polite, nervous kiss on the cheek and say " hey" in a sultry tone. I grab his hand not knowing where we were about to have breakfast, but he leads the way. He promised me he knew a good place to have breakfast, so I was more than curious. We walk up some creaking old wooden stairs and end up in a loft.

" So this is my place" he said, I look around, mildy impressed. Seems like a settled guy; spacious loft, tighty, stylish. Mild turned into major soon after I saw the breakfast table. I try not to jaw drop. Champagne glasses ready to go, fresh O.J., croissants, bread, eggs, bacon...All you could wish for was there on the table. Rays of sunshine were coming through the window, completing the picture. He asked me if I wanted coffee, " Sure, a latte would be nice". He goes downstairs as I wait upstairs. Stiff I wait in the sofa. I notice some dust on the coffee table. Phewww! What a relief, this was the only indication that this was reality. He came back upstairs with the perfect latte ; 2 sugars and full on steamed milk on top creating the light cloud effect that any caffeine lover dies for. I carefully take a sip. The crystal sugar on top of the foam stuck to my lips. I lick it off in a shy manner, not trying to be overly sexy, of course.

We sit down at the breakfast table, we cheered to us. We shared laughter, ideas, jokes, and opinions.
Ever since then, we share everything, everyday.

This is the story on how we fell in love :) p.s. : Pictures of the lovebirds coming soon!
