My friends and I decided to invite a small group of friends over to our suite for some casual Friday night drinking games. Beforehand, one of our friends, Brett, had reached out and asked if he could invite one of his soccer friends who hadn't gone out in a while due to being sick. Of course, we told him to bring his friend. After a couple of hours of all the girls cramming into the bathroom to do their hair and makeup our usual suspects started to walk in, until of course, Matt. I can clearly remember Paige and I quickly locking eyes and saying, "THAT'S THE GUY WE SAW EARLIER!" From that moment on, naturally, my instincts told me to pretend like he didn't exist. That's when I heard Paige shout over to him, "HEY MATT, THIS IS MY FRIEND KYLIE. SHE WILL BE YOUR BEER-PONG PARTNER THE REST OF THE NIGHT." He then came up and introduced himself to me as we started a game against Paige and Brett. A couple of hours of socializing and playing games passed when we found ourselves sitting at the table with our friends asleep around us. As we sat up talking Matt had asked me if I had any tattoos to which I described the hummingbird I have behind my ear. Without hesitation, he blurts out, "Ooooh, that makes so much sense!". So I asked him, "What does?", he brushed right past my question and looked at the time, realizing it was 4:00 AM. He then stood up and told me it was time he headed back to his dorm, so I walked him to the door. I remember waking up the next day a little bummed out that neither of us had asked for a phone number. Luckily, a few hours later I received a message on Instagram that read, "Hey, I forgot to give you something last night", which was followed by his number. From there, my friends set up a game night just so I could invite him back over, which worked. He proceeded to invite me on a hike in the middle of Presque Isle, which against my better instincts, I followed him into the woods and across the ice-covered lake, and all I can say is, I'm glad I did.
