My best friend Kat roped me into helping at a fundraiser for a children’s hospital. I wasn’t really keen on going, but it just so happened that it fell on the same day my little sister was having her birthday party, and I really wanted to escape all the screaming pre-teens. Gavin’s close friend Chad asked him to help at a fundraiser for a children’s hospital. On the day of, he almost didn’t go because he had to work that night and really just wanted to relax. But he said he would, and he’s a man of his word, so he went. Ends up our friends went to college together, and were co-hosting the fundraiser. When I got there, I saw this really cute guy in an awesome leather jacket (airbrushed). I wanted to go talk to him, but I was supposed to be helping, not flirting. Plus, I’d just gotten out of a bad relationship, and figured I should take some time to myself. Gavin saw me too, and thought I was cute, but didn’t know how to approach me. He asked Chad about me, but Chad didn’t know me either. So Gavin let it go. Once we got a break, I decided to pop over and say hi. But he seemed really distracted, so we didn’t really get to chat. Then, at the lunch break, I noticed he was sitting by himself reading. I was in the middle of playing a game with Kat and a group of people, but I thought “heck with it” and went and sat with him instead. Ends up he was reading a book from a series that I just love! So we talked, and ate, and thankfully exchanged numbers before he had to leave for work. I was planning on waiting three days before calling him, but he called me first, and wanted to go out. I was a bit worried since I didn’t really know him, so I asked Kat what she knew about him. She didn’t really know him either, but she called Chad, who told her that Gavin was a good guy. So we went on our first date, and things have been wonderful ever since.
