True love…

Posted in Stories of love at 11:36 am by emuree

First, before I get into this. This was suppose to be both my side of the story and Mike’s but I can’t seem to get him to sit down and write it out, so I will do my side now and I will add his later.

Can you believe it has been two years? I can’t at times, but I can’t wait for more. Anyways here is our/my story.

I guess you could say it all started with a girl named Annie, with out here, Mike and I would have never met. Annie and I were on our way to IL for our friend Crystal’s wedding, when Annie’s phone broke. Me being the person I am, told her she could us mine. She called Mike and asked him to pick her up a new phone that she would pay him back for when we got back to IN. She talked about how great he would be for me and all that other stuff the whole time we were gone, well almost the whole time, she also spoke about how great Jake was, and how much she liked him. Over the course of the three days Annie and I became pretty good friends, to be honest. When we got back to IN after the three day wedding celebration her and I drove up to meet with Mike at Verizon. There he was, in his black Sunfire and there I was in my white Sunfire. We walked up to him and I remember thinking “Wow. Look at him. Be cool, don’t say anything stupid.” I wanted to make a good impression on him so I could have a chance to get him better. I guess I did a pretty good job at that first impression, because he ended up asking my option on a shirt to wear to a concert he was going to on Monday (Keep in mind this was Sunday.) It turned out thought that we had got there moments to late, for Verizon had just closed. So, Annie being Annie, tells Mike he just has to see the pictures from the wedding, but she needed to get them developed first. So the three of us head over to get them developed. We get inside and I finally take my sun glasses off, and that is when he sees my eyes. According to him, that is what had him hooked. After that I tried to be all smooth and cute and flirt with him. The problem was I couldn’t remember his name and ended up asking him. We get to Annie’s place and the flirting continues. We talk, I make a fool of my self (nothing new) and we never did look at those pictures.

The time came to leave, Mike and I didn’t want to say goodbye, but we didn’t have any reason left to say at Annie’s, so we left. He went his way, and we went ours. On the drive back to my house all any could talk about was Jake, so I decided I wanted to meet this Jake so spoke of so highly. I found my reason to stay in town a little longer. We head to an ice cream place to meet up with Jake and I took my opportunity to call Mike and have him come over. He got there so quick I he was either in the area or didn’t stop for red lights or stop signs. I was so happy to see him again. We just talked. I don’t’ know how it happened but we all ended up at Jake’s house and then to play basketball. When Mike had told me about them playing basketball he said the “girls” where coming, and for some reason I thought they were playing to. So I decided to make a further fool of myself, put on a pair of shorts with my knee sock, and try to play. If any of you have seen me try to play basketball or any other sport, you know how sad or fun, depending on whom you are, a sight it is. But some how, out of me making a fool of myself, he asked me to go to the concert with him.

I don’t know how many of you have heard about the Dave Matthew’s concert, so I will sum it up. All day long, Annie and I were trying to figure out if it was a date or just hanging out, so I get up the guts to ask. I texted him “So…is this a date or just a group thing?” He text me back “Whatever you want it to be.” I text him back “You are the one that asked me to come, so it is up to you.” I get back, “Then yes, it is a date.” I couldn’t stop smiling, it was ear to ear. He picked me up and we went to dinner. There were for of us in his car, and for some reason (that will not be named) I had to sit behind Mike in the car. After dinner someone decided to bring their left overs with them for an after concert snake, sounded good at the time. Mike ended up having to put his brakes on fast and it went everywhere. I am talking the chicken, the rolls, the butter and the BBQ sauce everywhere. It was a mess. We finally get to the concert and it starts to rain. Mike and I just stood there and talked, didn’t even notice the rain, till I started to get cold. He decided to get a poncho for the rain, just as the rain was stopping, it was so cute. I can’t tell you what music was played that night, but I can tell it was an amazing night. We talked about so many things. It was amazing. If you haven’t experienced something like it, I can’t explain it. Anyways, he took me home and on the 22 asked me to be a more serious girlfriend. That was over a year and a half ago. I won’t say we have not had our bumps and bruises, but we have made it through, together. Anyways, that is the story of how we meet and got together. The story of realizing we were in love and saying it, is a story for another day.

Later
