Our First Date: The Fish House
We sat on the deck underneath the stars and enjoyed an amazing dinner. Nic was nervous, fidgety, and oh so charming. When our drinks arrived, he clanked them so hard that I thought they would break! I smiled softly while he recovered and then proposed a toast, “Here’s to a beautiful evening, I’m so glad I found you again”.
Our Love Story:
Nic and I met in high school. Almost 15 years had passed since I had last seen him. He sent me a message on Facebook telling me that he was in town visiting for a few weeks (before moving back to California) and would love to grab coffee. We did just that, and neither one of us expected anything more than a friendly reunion. We talked until the store closed, like long lost best friends. By the end of the night, I think we both knew we felt something major transpiring. We made plans to meet up at the Oyster Festival the following day. I showed up at the beach with my best friend, who happens to be male, and I couldn’t figure out why Nic wasn’t approaching me. I finally realized that he thought I’d brought a date! I got up the nerve to go talk to him, and made it obvious that I wasn’t with a date. We ended up seeing other friends there as well, and hung out collectively for a bit. Towards the end of the night, we decided to head into town and ended up at Sir Richard’s Lounge. Chris, my best friend, ordered us both a drink, and said “Kiss her already”. The next day was full of cute text messages helping us pass the time at work. The last one said “I can’t move to California–I’ll either have to kid nap you or change my plans.” Needless to say he never left Pensacola, and has been by my side every single day since the first day we had coffee. We never dated in high school, just friends. I think that we both needed to grow up, live life, make mistakes, and be absolutely comfortable in our own skins before finding each other again. We know for certain who we are as individuals and ultimately who we are together as a couple. We have cherished every single moment since our reunion. He leaves me little notes in my lunch, sends me flowers for no reason, compliments me when I’m not wearing any make up, protects me from the boogie man, and is the most amazing man I’ve ever known. I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together!
