Okay, this may seem like a cop out ending, but I really, really couldn't
help myself writing this. I was gonna make you wait but my hands kept
moving and I couldn't stop them. If people like the story enough I might
write some epilogue bits, like the actual meal, but if you don't like it
enough then I wont bother.

He stopped when there was almost no space between them, suddenly aware that she may not want this, but Monica quashed his fears when she closed the tiny gap and initiated their first kiss. It was sot, gentle and slow, but left either in any doubt about it's meaning. As John deepened the kiss, Monica felt a hand on her shoulder. She knew it was not John's, it was too big and too rough. She pulled away quickly a turned to face the intruder.
'Excuse me,' an important looking man in his early fifties said, 'but if you don't stop that, we will have to ask you to leave the shop.'
'Sorry, we'll try not to do it again,' Monica apologised. This satisfied the man and he left them to return to his post behind a counter. She looked back at John who was hanging his head, trying not to let the man, who was still watching them, see him laughing.
'Get out of those clothes, John,' Monica giggled, pushing him back through the door, 'Those jeans are cutting off the circulation to your brain.'
They purchased the tee-shirt from the man and left the shop. When they were a suitable distance away, John burst out laughing. Monica tried to clam him for a few seconds, but sound his laughing infectious and soon they were both leaning against a wall for support, holding their stomachs which were hurting from laughing so much.
'John, what the hell are we laughing at?'
'Did you see that guys face? That was priceless.' This sent them into pleats again. Suddenly, without warning, John grabbed his partner's hand and pulled her to him again. 'But he did interrupt us.' He kissed her a second time, this time more passionately. After a while they had to stop to catch their breaths, which was gone after a combination of the laughing, then the kissing.
'John.'
'Shhh,' he kissed her again, but this time she pulled away after only a moment.
'Are you sure about this? I mean, I understand if it was just a momentary thing, just.'
'I love you,' he interrupted.
'Excuse me! What did you just say?'
'I love you. I have been in love with you for years, I could just never admit it, but I do. I love you.'
She was shocked by this at first, but after eventually she became coherent again and began to talk, 'Oh my God. I can't believe this. I mean.I just.it's only.I love you too. This is amazing. It's brilliant. I wanted you to say that for so long. I love you.' She kissed him, wrapping her arms tightly round his neck and holding on like her life depended on it.
When the kiss ended, John said, 'Can we go home now please? I've had enough of shopping. Even though it was a very successful trip,' he held up the bag containing the dress, which he was carrying like a gentleman, 'I can't wait to see you in this.' She laughed and they headed towards the exit, hand in hand.
(V. v soppy I know, but I think it's kinda cute. I got a bit carried away)
