The Story of Us

Several years ago I started working in Century 21 Department Store. It was the summer after I graduated from college. That January, they started getting rid of some employees. One of these employees was a man named Frank. Frank was a pretty big guy. However, once Frank left I saw someone else working in the location where Frank used to work. I wondered to myself, who is that guy. The next time I was over in that section of the store, I asked him if he was having fun and looked at his name tag to find out his name. Apparently I made an impression. He found me on Facebook and we started talking. Then he asked me to go ice skating the day after Valentine’s Day. I didn’t think of it as a date, but once he showed up to our meeting place, I had to change my thinking. He bought me a rose and said I looked pretty. We had a fun time, even though I was pushed on the ice. Afterwards we spent hours talking in Columbus Circle. The following week, I invited him to spend my birthday with me and the week after that, we were a couple.

According to Roger, he liked my smile which made him want to ask me out. He also said that his coworkers had to lie to him to get him to ask me out. They told him I had a crush on him. And apparently there was a bet among his closest friends that he wouldn’t be able to stay in a relationship. What great friends they are. Anyway, that’s the story of us.
