It all began on my sister and also my maid of honor, Melanie’s 21st birthday, she begged me to go to celebrate in Atlantic City, I said no a million times. I was not yet 21 and did not enjoy the idea of being a third wheel. Mason and I knew one another in high school never really associating, running in different circles, (he always says I was too cool, because I mean I was... just kidding) until that week of my sister’s birthday, when he wrote something cheeky on a picture I posted online leading him to give me his number, so that night, me laying in my bed, I texted his number, Deciding to throw out an invite for him to meet me in AC, assuming he would say no, considering we barely knew each other on a personal level and it was super last second. 3 mins before Melanie was going to walk out the door, me in my pajamas, he answers yes. I was shocked but had maybe a minute to get ready with no time to process the excitement. Mason says “Okay so I was sitting at carmens house with Corey (both a part of our wedding party) just chilling and you hit me up and I told them that I’m leaving to go meet you in Ac (Corey didn’t believe me) lol so I rush home, get changed real quick and head to Ac... excited and a little anxious to meet you because I didn’t know if you would like me” We ended up staying in the hotel room because we couldn’t get in anywhere.. well I couldn’t ha, laughing and clicking right away, not understanding how we crossed paths so many times and yet never spoke. He offered to drive me home, he was singing and dancing and we were hysterically laughing the entire time. I felt like we’ve met centuries ago. That night in front of my house in his truck, was our first kiss, he will tell you he was super nervous, I would of never been able to tell, he will also tell you he had work at 5am that next day, that wouldn't be the last night he got zero sleep to just be around me. That night will foreshadow our entire relationship, even seven years later.
