KENNY + BEE - 27.11.12 - COFFEE SHOP - DISTANCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER

It didn't matter how often they met, or spoke or text Kenny always felt nervous around Bee. No. Maybe it wasn't nerves, more of an energy which buzzed and sizzled through his veins and put him on edge. Made him hyper aware of every single thing. Especially her. And that smile, bright and bubbly and as beautiful as ever. It had been around two years since he had last actually physically seen her and then it had been... heart breaking. He was man enough to admit that, he thought. That saying goodbye had broken his heart clean in two. No girl could compare, no matter how pretty they may be, or how many his bandmates and friends threw it him. Bee was the only one he could see.

And god, he could see her now. It was funny what a few years did to someone. It looked good on her, the photos he had from facebook and all the rest not even coming close to doing her justice. It made this moment all the better, a treat as he watched her for a moment from the doorway of the coffee shop they used to hang out in. Sunlight hit her dark hair just so, a halo of light around her and it made him smile, remembering how it felt when he would run his hands through it.

"Hey, Bumblebee," he murmured softly, not trusting his voice to anything louder, anything more than a hushed whisper. He had no idea what to expect from this meeting, two years was a long time and so much had changed. He had his fingers - and everything else - crossed for friends, that they could at least hang out a little ever so often. "You look beautiful." Which wasn't really what Kenny had meant to say even if it was very, very true. "I'll take a berry smoothie, please," he told the waitress in an attempt to distract himself from the blurted out comment. It didn't matter that he was two years older, she still made him feel like a bumbling idiot in love.
