We met at Eastern Michigan University's Student Center one random afternoon. Kiah was talking to a friend about skipping class, while Candice was sitting nearby with her brother. Candice overheard the conversation, and told Kiah to go to class. Candice was bold enough to say that, because it was a mutual friend. Later that evening Kiah slid into Candice's DM asking her if she wanted to come over and hang out. We hung out as friends for a while, because we lived in the same apartment complex. Kiah continued to flirt and in her words “Candice curved her”. It was August 8, 2015, Kiah’s 21st birthday weekend, and I knew she would say yes, so I was already prepared. For her birthday gift, I had a picture frame made with the date 8/8/2015 on it already, with a picture of us in it, prepared to ask Kiah to be my girlfriend. When she opened her gift bag, there was a sticky note on the box that said “Will you be my girlfriend?”. Kiah was lost for words and stuck on the sticky note and saying yes, that she forgot about the actual gift in the box. She opened the picture frame and was even more emotional. Kiah was elated to say "yes" to being my girlfriend, and that made the gift even more memorable. |
