Our story, where to begin? I should probably preface this story by saying that I wasn't at all fond of Nik when I first met him. He was one of those good looking, cocky guys... or so I thought. The first time I had ever seen Nik, I was free skating with my best friend at the time, Sarah. Sarah and I were probably 10 at the time, and she thought Nik was hot stuff. So, she asked a friend of ours to go and ask him out, but before he did, she chickened out and said nevermind. Fast forward 5 years and I was working at my mother's store in the town where Nik lived. This is where my opinion of him formed. I held on to that opinion for nearly 2 years. In October of 2005, I was carving pumpkins at the store for Halloween and Nik came to the store and asked if I wanted special carving knives that his step-father had. When he came back with the knives, he stuck around for a while and before he left, he threw pumpkin gunk on me. My opinion was slowly fading... and it reappeared fast... After that, my death threats didn't phase him and he started hanging around more and more. We became friends.   By this point, it was early December and I was selling cookie dough for my prom ticket - Nik bought hundreds of dollars worth of it ... but it was a conditional sale ... I had to go to his house to make the cookies. When I tried to say no - he twisted my arm by saying that his mother had just recently got this cute little puppy, even then, he knew I couldn't resist a puppy. December 15, 2005 - a date I will never forget. Nik had asked me to go to his Christmas party for work. Its formal he says. So, that night, I get all decked out in a really pretty dress and he shows up in his suit. For one thing - his car had NO heat. That sucked. Then, we finally pull up to the party and were the last ones there. We walk in, and I look around the room, and my eyes must have looked like saucers... Not ONE other person was in formal attire. Not One. December 28, 2005 - we finally decided that we were together and so it's been ever since. ILY Nikolas <3
