The Night We Met

We met at the Lake Murray Dam in March 2018, he had just moved back from Ohio. He lived in a condo with his mother and grandmother, Kim and Janice, on the top floor. My best friend since eighth grade, Graham, lived below him. Graham and Bradley ended up going to Myrtle Beach together, on their way home I snapchatted Graham to ask if he wanted to hang out. He said that he had a friend with him and when I asked who, Graham sent me a picture of Bradley. I was immediately interested. I sent a selfie back and we all agreed to meet. When they got back from Mrytle they met me at the dam. I thought B was cute from the get-go but all he did was stare at me without speaking (He told me later it was because he thought I was so beautiful that he didn't know what to say.) We got ready to leave after about 30 minutes of idle chit-chat and Bradley realized that he locked his keys in his truck, so of course the most logical thing to do would be to smash his window in order to retrieve them. As I stood there and watched him and Graham take turns trying to smash the window, I thought to myself, "Good god I better stick around this guy, who knows what kind of trouble he could get himself in to without me?!" And now here we are, four years later, and I'm still trying to keep him out of trouble, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
