I remember talking with our buddy David at work. He was telling me that his guy started working there when I was away for school. It was really no big deal at the time. A couple hours passed and Lewis came in to work.... When I saw him, I whispered to David that he would be mine. David insisted I was too young for Lewis' taste. We made a wager, then and there. Needless to say, I WON!

So our mutual friend told me this girl made a bet with him that she would have me for her own. I did not think too much of it... Then, here comes this yellow thing rollerskating all threw the building; headphones on, ponytail high up on her head, white T-Shirt, blue jeans... And I could NOT stop looking. She had so much life and a glowing to her...a smile that made me smile. I envisioned a whole future. I was scared to death, but I knew that this was life and she was the one.
