Capture It Remember It

Question...?

"How many years have been since you last came here buddy?" the friendly man said.

"Hmm... Around 11 I think. But everything is just like the day I left"

"Oh, you know I'm not really a person who is up for changes so, yeah it's still the same"

"Even the smell" Joe smiled

"Even that. How come you passed by here?"

"Actually my wife and I decided stay here, in Lon-"he didn't manage to finish his question

"You're married??" Andrew was surprised once again.

"Yeah, we got married a few months ago" Joe smiled hard

"Congratulations boy! Where's your wife?"

Joe turned around and scanned the place for Taylor but she was lost in toys. He couldn't find her. Giggling he screamed her name. "I'm here!" he shouted and raised her hand high enough for Joe to see her.

"She's there" Joe pointed

"Get her here! I want to see her!" the old guy smiled.

"Just give me a minute" Joe said and started walking to her direction. It took him a bit to find her. But when he did, he placed his hand on her lower back and lead her to the old man. He stayed next to her smiling. His hand remained on her lower back. The old man had a wide smile imprinted onto his face.

"You make an amazing couple" mr Andrew said. Instantly Taylor looked up at Joe with those eyes full in love. She smiled slightly and kept staring. Mr Andrew noticed that but Joe didn't . "Someone must be really in love".

"Yes... We really are" Joe said as if it was a secret and looked down at her. He pressed a kiss against her forehead and smiled  a bit.

"When am I gonna see my next customers?" he meant their kids but they got confused for a moment. They looked at each other and then realized.

"Oh-... Oh no no no!" Taylor said nervously. "We're too young, let us live life first" she giggled

"Just asking" he smirked a bit. Joe cleared his throat. "One minute please" the old man said, opened a door and dissappeared .

Taylor looked at Joe with that questionable look "Where do you think he's going?"

"I... Really don't know" he answered and leaned down to kiss her but she pulled back.

"What if they see us?" she giggled

"You're my lawful wife and I'm your lawful husband. Plus, aren't we in love? Why can't I kiss you? Is that a crime?"

She swallowed and looked into his eyes. "You are in love... I'm not...". Even if she tried to be gentle, it hurt him like a knife deep inside.

"Oh... Yeah, I forgot about that detail" he pulled a little back.

Of course, she knew she had said the wrong thing. It hurt like a stab to see him again being dark and cold. That's exactly what she didn't want. But it happened anyways because of her. She gulped down her rage for herself and looked away. It wasn't her fault that she couldn't love him the way he loved her. When she had that thought that she loved him, he took advantage of her innocence and of her body.

Taylor then, breathed out a heavy "Okay" which sounded more like a sigh.

After a few more minutes of silence and coldness between them, mr Andrew appeared with two little figures of two little white pigeons. He told them to open their palms and they did. Then he placed the the pigeons in them.

"My father had once told me...when you find the couple who's really in love, give them these two. Your love is white just like their color. Which means that it's true and deep."he smiled hard at them. Taylor was in the verge of tears because she didn't love him... She was just attracted to him. On the other hand, Joe accepted the little gift with happiness and put it inside the pocket of his coat.
