It's time to get HUTCH'D!

Well, that was just the beginning of the night Chris and Steph realized they just might be into each other. But that's not how they met... The day they met is forever imprinted in their hearts and in their minds. Though it wasn't some intense moment where they knew they were meant to be, if you know anything about the two of them...you might disagree. Steph began working as a server at the restaurant where Chris was working as a bouncer on the weekends. For the first few weeks, their schedules never crossed but Chris's name was constantly brought to Steph's attention due to the fact that...well, she was a Steelers fan...and at the time Chris was not very fond of the Steelers...or their fans. If Steph had a dollar for every time she was told before she ever really met the guy that he was not only not going to like her, but would hate her...well...you get the gist. Anyway, it just so happened that Chris was at the restaurant shooting pool one day during Steph's shift and of course, her coworker came back and said "Chris is here." It was interesting because to Steph there seemed to be some sort of mystique surrounding this guy and Steph was curious. But first, she needed to figure out why the two of them would have such a problem because of her love for her football team. Being a feisty small-town girl at heart, Steph walked over to Chris and leaned over the high table near the pool table, and said, "Hey, are you Chris?" He looked over at her a bit off-guard and said, "Yea, why?" Steph then tipped her Steelers hat and said, "I hear we are gonna have a problem." Then turned and walked away as he said back, "If you wear that hat again, we will." Now getting back to the night our banter turned to playful flirtation... Where were we...oh ya...lonely guy sitting at a bar... Haha, kidding. Chris had just finished his shift and was talking with the bartender when Steph walked in to burn some time before heading off to a Halloween party where she was meeting a friend. Steph was dressed as...shall we say...a "spruced up" version of Troy Polamalu. Now the irony of Chris...at this time in his life...even being caught seen with a girl dressed like Troy Polamalu should really not be lost on you. Anyway, Steph sat next to him at the bar, they got to chattin' and she asked him if we wanted to join her. He said he would, so they grabbed a taxi. At this point, Steph was not quite yet into him...but that quickly changed once Steph got to know him. He was fun, sweet, respectful, and even protective. That night they had a blast heading off to dance and ending the night as friends. Which did not last long! The next day, Chris and Steph spent much of the day watching football together and ended the night wilin' out, dancing, and eventually with a kiss...and shall we say the rest is history.
