So I was having a very busy summer. Steve was adament that we should go to Coney Island at night and partake in the night time activitues. We went on a rather warm day. I had a feeling as Steve was pacing all around the apartment, that I texted our mutual best friend Kelsey; “I bet he’s going to do it today- he’s acting weird”. We got to the beach, and we were hanging there for a bit when Steve asks if we want to go to our favorite spot for margaritas- natually called Margarita Island. He then asks if we want to go back to the beach. So we do. Then he asks if we want another margarita, so we head back to Margarita Island and grab some food. At this point it’s now dark. He asks if I want to go back to the beach. I hesitantly say okay noticing this back and forth. We get to the beach around the spot where we had filmed our pitch trailer “Meth Crabs”-www.methcrabs.com. We set up a blanket. He says “let’s makeout”. So whatever, we start kissing when beach patrol comes by, they say “you can’t be here the beach is closed”. So i get up to clean up the blanket and Steve is on one knee. I literally have no idea what he said to me, as i was crying and kissing him. Naturally it was a yes. We then went on the Wonder Wheel. The next day July 4, we partied non stop then non other Margarita Island but that’s another story for another day.
As a freelancer, sometimes you have work odds and ends jobs. I found a call for “urgently needing a brand ambassador to help at an event at a school for Google”. The woman who hired me mentioned it was all the way back to where I went to college for a bit, near Bethlehem, PA. I said “that’s like over an hour”, she responds “i’ll pay you more”. Since I was off, I decide to take the job. I should also mention here i’m a terrible driver. So arrivinh just in the knick of time, frazzled I go into the wrong office filled with computers that I see a young man helping out a student. Realizing this is not theg main office I run down the hall to meet Lin, a woman with huge boobs who looks like the female equivalent of Hulk Hogan. She leads me back to the first room I entered and she introduces me to Steve- he’s the tech guy who will be helping me set up the assembly. He not only helped he practically set up the whole event for me. We start talking and he tells me he is a writer/director/producer. He asks me what I’m doing here. I say “I’m the picture taker lady”, he responds the “the photographer?” As sometimes the brand does not want you to reveal you are an outside party being hired to help. I then say “ I’m an actress”. Meanwhile there was a balloon lady who was very late, and when she finally showed up she started petting my hair. The event runs smooth, I had to run once the event was over but as I saw he was leaving, I yell “i’m Heather Cole iii on imdb if you ever need an actress”. Little did I know he had written his number on a piece of paper to give me, he also kept one of the shirts I was passing out. I couldn’t remember his last name and tried searching for the email that was sent to me. But maybe after an hour I had left, he messaged me on facebook messanger, we had two friends in common. I was like “oh that balloon lady made me want to drink” He responds “maybe we can have a drink together”. This lead to our first date and another story.
