They were both at a basketball tournament. While there, it started to rain and Shakia went under a tent. While looking for her nephew, she happened to be looking in the direction of Marc. He says that she was staring at him and he then made a "what are you looking at?" face. Shakia made a face back and turned her head. After this, one message online turned into a phone call, which turned into the love they have for each other today.
