Lafayette tucked his cream colored scarf into his purple coat, he shuffled down the streets towering over the hundreds of people that walked around him. Feeling the brisk air smack against his face he walked faster digging his hands as far as they could into his pocket. Lafayette couldn't stand this weather. He longed for the weather were the clouds would part and the earth took its first warm breath melting the cold months away. Lafayette eagerly waited for the time he could look at the citizens and tourists of the city; he desperately wanted to witness the first smiles of happiness as the world came out of the dark and opened up to spring time. Lafayette sighed as he directed his gaze to the concrete below him. He studied the shoes of strangers walking past him; each one with a different destination and goal. Lafayette studied the way some people would scurry past him or how some would take their time and stride along the pathway. He fell silent and continued to look at the ground until abruptly someone bumped into his chest throwing him back a bit. Lafayette stumbled to regain his balance as an audible gasp escaped others mouth. He straightened himself out and shot his eyes up; that is until he had to look down at the girl standing before him with her hands hovering over her mouth.
"I am so so sorry!" She exclaimed putting emphasis on each word.
Lafayette stood speechless as he stared at her. Her chocolate hair ran rivers down her head and swayed gently at her shoulders. Her ombre brown eyebrows raised in shock.
Lafayette coughed, "Oh no you're fine I wasn't watching where I was walking" He admitted.
He stared as she dropped her hands and bit her pink lower lip. The color matched her rosey defined cheeks that led into her well rounded face. The same color flushed into her nose from the sharp wind blowing around them.
"Oh my god I'm such a clutz," She let out a breathy laugh before making eye contact back at him. "Wait you wouldn't happen to know where the Lauren's coffee house is?" She asked pulling out her phone from her ripped skinny jeans.
Lafayette's face flushed as he remembered that was the exact place he was heading, "Oh um that funny because I was just making my way over there right now" He sheepishly replied.
He watched as he face lit up with delight, "You wouldn't mind if I tagged along with you right? I have to meet my sisters there."
Lafayette regained his confidence back and walked up next to her, "It's not a problem with me just follow me and don't get separated" He chucked, "Just watch this giant and you'll be fine."
He started to walked a couple steps in front of her, Lafayette smiled when he heard a tiny giggle come from the girl behind him. The two made it to the end of the street and waited for the signal to go across the street, but both remained quite. It wasn't until two blocks down that Peggy found herself unable to keep up with Lafayette's tall strides. As the crowd of city-goers began to separate the two Peggy swooped around person to person, she kept her eye on the curly brown hair in a ponytail sticking out from the crowd. Peggy began to jog trying to catch up with the man; however, just as she reached him she glided right into a stranger's foot causing her to stumble forward. In one swift motion she grabbed the jacked in front of her praying that it wasn't another stranger. After feeling her momentum stop from plunging onto the pavement she slowly opened her tightly shut eyes.
"You know before you start running you should learn how to walk" Lafayette turned around holding her elbows trying to steady her, "Why didn't you call for me to slow down" He asked staring into her widened eyes.
Peggy steadied her rapid breath, "I never actually got your name"
"Oh! Well then my names Lafayette." He laughed holding out his hand childishly.
Peggy backed up from the spur of emotions coming from the taller boy, slowly she returned the actions and shook the larger hand, "Peggy Schuyler." She paused, "Do you have a first name?" She smiled slyly.
Lafayette signaled for her to walk next to him as they caught up with the rest of the bustling crowd, "Trust me you don't wanna hear it."
Peggy drew her eyes from the many faces passing by her and looked up to Lafayette, "Try me."
Lafayette smirked and shrugged, "Gilbert du Motier Marquis de Lafayette."
Peggy smiled at him, "Lafayette works" She held out her tiny hand, "Peggy."
Lafayette took her hand and gently shook it, "Short and sweet."
Lafayette turned his gaze back to the street fast enough to not see her cheeks turn a tomato red. Lafayette started to turn to the left making sure he grabbed the forearm sleeve of her cream colored jacket. Peggy plastered herself to his back making sure not to get separated. She kept her eyes on the back of his coat as they made the treacherous turn, her breathing began to increase when he reached back and pulled her in front of him and placed his hands on her small shoulders, Leading her towards a line of small shops. Peggy shifted her eyes upward to one of the signs.
"Welp here we are, Lauren's coffee shop." Lafayette began to head for the medium sized building. Peggy followed as he eyes analyzed the wooden black sign with gold cursive letters that spelled out Laurens.
