It all began December 15th, 2015. I went over to Jasmine's (Stefanie best friend and my coworker at the time) for a white elephant party. Stefanie was there to also celebrate her birthday which was the next day. I could only stay for 30 minutes but because of how cute Stefanie was, I made sure to go out of my way to introduce myself and tell her happy early birthday. The next day at work, I went up to Jasmine and asked who her friend was? I will never forget Jasmine responding "don't even think about it Montel, thats my best friend" and I left it at that. A few months later, I was putting together a night out with coworkers and Jasmine asked if her friend, Stefanie, could come along. Me, not remembering who she was said "sure I don't care, bring whoever you want". So we all go out and I remember sitting by some friends that night at Cabo Cantina. Throughout the night the both of them kept saying "hey man this girl keeps checking you out go and talk to her" but knowing me, I said "no, im good, she just being nice". About an hour in, they both told me "if you don't go talk to her, then I'm going to" and I finally caved in and went to talk to her. My smooth talk started with "so do you listen to Kendrick Lamar"? Sure enough, that got me in the game haha. Now Stefanie is a light weight drinker and soon enough, Stefanie was drunk. At that point I gave her my number and said if she ever wanted to talk, just text me. Three days pass and I'm in Arizona with Deante and Nick and I remember telling them "man this girl blew me off I thought we had a good time." So I'm driving home when I get a random text from this number and then a follow up text saying "sorry I meant to message my mom but it auto sent to Montel but this is Stefanie." I must say she is a horrible liar but I will take it. She admitted later on it was an excuse to text me and she never intended to text her mom. The rest is history and we both look forward to celebrating our day with each and every one of you!
