"I wasn't supposed to be even staying over that night..she'd begged me to come" " I wasnt even planning to go that night, had they all not begged and insisted..." Our story actually began, on a night in august without either of us know what was to come from it! He, from Newport news, and I, from gloucester, at the time. Neither of us could imagine that our story would've began if it weren't for this night. It was one of my last weekends before heading off to JMU, and I had been having a rough time that weekend so me and a friend, leah, had been hanging out at yorktown beach that day with the idea I would be going home afterwards. We ended up at her house and she'd asked numerous times if i just wanted to stay the night so she wasn't bored and I had said no because I wasn't in the right mood for it. When I called my parents they said they had a event pop up with one of my siblings. So instead, I agreed and ended up at her house that night. We'd were just eating dinner and her brothers and a few friends had came in and said hi and then they were about to leave. They were going out somewhere and she asked if we could come with them. I wasn't really in the mood to go but she'd begged because she wanted to go and said it was a really cool place they were going to apparently. one of the brothers told us we could, and that they're picking up some groceries for the mom but theyll be back. Apparantly they dropped the first brother off somewhere and were just headed to the location because my friend, then called her brother to see where he was and said we'd been told we were able to go so he needs to come back now. Im still shocked to this day she managed to have her older brother drive 20 minutes back just to pick us up. We had got there and it was a abandoned fort building off the side of fort monroe, my friend, her brother and all their friends were there this included Luis! he states to this day he wasn't even planning to be there that night either! I was in a bad mood I didnt introduce myself to him but knew he was the sweet guy that worried about my hazardous climbing on the ruins we were exploring and was the guy holding my keys and phone when i needed both hands! A few weeks had passed, im at school now. i got a request message from Luis. He had a drawing as his profile photo so i didnt recognize the profile, just that my friend and her brothers followed his profile. He just started out asking questions like what my favorite color was or what would my perfect day look like. a simple question a day. it started out so simple and before we knew it we were messaging questions back and ofrth for hours each day. then, he sent his number and then chickened out on calling me. i pushed it, saying he had the courage to send it, and that he should call me now. he ended up facetiming and from that day forward, we let the story grow. we facetimed again and again, for almost the entire day some days. we never grew tired of each other, joking around and just talking about everything and anything! Even though i was friendzoning him still (without meaning to), he one day asked what i was doing that day and told me to get ready by a certain time because he wanted to take me to dinner. I was at JMU and he was in newport news, 4 hours away! From that night forward, the love began before our eyes and I wouldn't change anything.
