The Luckiest

The setting: a Friday night. just past midnight. full moon. live reggae band. little Irish pub called Frog & Peach. San Luis Obispo. California. July 16, 2011. The occasion: Meagan celebrates best friend Nate McLean's 21st b-day. Dillan out with friends. The scene: Meag takes a break from dancing with Nate so he can dance with the ladies. Dill spots a pretty girl in "white pants" a few times but waits for the right moment. Meag, a visual journalist, observing the little moments around the pub. An old guy, twice her age, put his hand on the wall, trying to be suave & said "what's up?". She looks for Nate to rescue her; but instead through the crowded dance floor she locks eyes with her Prince Charming & mouths to him "HELP ME". Seconds after he disappears. She thought "oh no, did I just make a fool of myself?". Five minutes go by & she lost hope + the old guy still not taking the hint. All of a sudden Charming puts his arm around her, rescuing his fair lady from the old guy & says "hey babe, who's this?". Victory, old guy leaves. The two were smitten from the start. Charming aka Dillan spoke about his passions for surf, lake trips with family, dogs, taking pictures (being an X-Ray Tech), all while Meag is thinking √√√√ + this guy talks more than me, this is great! Then Nate pulls the same move on Meag in case she needed rescuing from Dill! We all laughed because Dill responded "Oh hey Nate, nice to meet you & nice try, but I know you're just friends, that was the first question I asked her." They all connected immediately. Dill then offers his hand & asks Meag to dance! Her heart had never felt so full. Love sparked from his goofy dance moves, freckles, with her smile & grace. They shared their first kiss & she thought wow, love at first sight exists! As the pub was closing, Dill held Meag's hand & said "I don't want to let you go." They looked into each other's eyes walking hand & hand with their friends feeling like they were meant to be together forever.
