Stephen and Leila first met at work, on Leila’s first day. We weren’t in the same group, so we didn’t talk much at first. However, as fate would have it, Stephen was eventually moved onto Leila’s team. After getting to know Stephen a little bit better, Leila thought that Stephen was pretty close to what she’d say was her “dream guy”, but Stephen had a girlfriend at the time, so Leila settled on being friends. It didn’t take long though for both Stephen and Leila to actually become friends in real life and realize they had a lot in common. They even found that sitting directly across from each other for at least 40 hours a week for two plus years only strengthen friendship. Eventually, Stephen broke up with his girlfriend and not long after our teammate had a housewarming party that we both were invited to. Little did Leila know (even though she had her suspicions) that this whole time Stephen had felt the same way about her, and he had decided that he would tell her at this party. A little bit of liquid courage later, Stephen finally decided it was time to tell Leila how he felt. Then they had their first kiss and lived happily ever after... just kidding. When Stephen finally told Leila, she punched Stephen in the arm and said, “are you kidding me Fishel?”, got up and walked away. After only a few seconds of realizing what had just happened, Leila turned around went back to Stephen and told him that she liked him a lot too. Then when they finally had their first kiss, they both thought to themselves that this might be their last first kiss…. Then the rest is history.
