How We Met

First comes school, then comes marriage.

Gabriel and Corie met during their senior year of college. It was not love at first sight. Gabriel sat two rows in front of Corie twice a week for fifteen weeks, but they never said more than two words to each other. The semester came to a close and they went their separate ways. Several weeks later, in the fall of 2015, by some stroke of universal luck, Corie added a last-minute class to her school schedule--one where she happened to take the empty seat next to Gabriel. The rest, as they say, is history... ----the real heart-wrenching truth--- Him, a lone wanderer trying to find his place in the world. Her, a carefree spirit, who wanted dat ass (naturally). --- Yes, they officially met and talked in their senior year, but their lives intertwined years before. The universe had them cross paths many times before, testing them, yet they needed to grow independently before they could grow together. Fast forward to one fateful night in October. It was a Tuesday to be exact. Gabriel had finally mustered up the courage to ask Corie out to grab a drink. She, sweet as she is, gave the poor fool a chance. They had a drink and eventually rondevued back to her apartment. Now, I know what you might be thinking. Boy meets girl, both go grab a drink and head back to her place. *Wink Wink* NO! The universe had more planned for them. As they entered the living room, Corie asked if Gabriel wanted a glass of water. He nodded, took a seat on the sofa, and said, "Please". This Universe quickly intervened like any Deus ex machina and presented herself as...a cat. This overweight black cat swiftly jumped onto Gabriel's lap and began to speak. "So. You're finally here," she said. "Um--" "No," she cut him off, "you listen and listen to me good. I have seen them come and go, but not you. You are the chosen one." "Like Neo?" The cat quickly grabs Gabriel's shirt and pulls his face to her's and says, "This is not a laughing matter." As Gabriel swallows his witty comeback, she continues, "It is time for you to get your shit together. And no half-assing it. You need to full ass this!" The cat pauses and stares into his eyes and says, "This is the one you have been looking for. Now, are you going to let her slip away?" As the cat and Gabriel pause in silence, Corie walks into the living room. "Here's that water," she says. Corie feels the tension in the air and says, "Sorry, she's never this talkative. Well, she doesn't even come out when guys come over. Let me...let me get her." Corie picks up the cat from Gabriel's lap. As she walks to take the cat to the room, the cat lifts her front paw to her eyes and points it back to him, to let it be known that she will be keeping a close eye on him. As the night pressed on, they talked and laughed. And the rest as they say... is history.
