FH and I met in California. I and my then-bf went to the Duece(MCB Camp Pendleton's e-club), with our roommate Steve(fh's bff & bm)...steve brought Chris...my bf went inside to get our drinks, and when he came out, me steve and my girl were talking to chris...well, i saw the door open to the outside, and my bf comes barrelling out...later that night, he said when he walked outside(and for the rest of the night apparently), chris(FH) just kept smiling, and staring at me...i didn't even know till the bf pointed it out, all pissy and such! a week or so later, me and the bf accompanied steve to a party in the barracks, well the navy barracks...the bf was USMC(hated sailors lol). i don't remember where my bf went, but somehow i ended up following steve to another room, with another guy to play xbox lol. when the bf finally showed back up, i was outside leaning over the rail talking to chris. a few weeks later, my bf went to AZ for training to go to Iraq, and steve and i decided to have friends over..so he told me chris was coming(but he called him by his last name, a thing marines do, not sailors lol...so when chris got there, i didn't really recognize him...either way, that night we hung out(lol, there's a more "racey" explanation to that! but pg-wise!)...he started taking steve to work and such, so i didnt have too, since steve didn't have a car, and my bf's truck was a guzzler, and my honda was broken...
after about 3 weeks of neither of us having given the other our phone numbers, he calls! he'd been calling me from steves phone, as bad as i was, i still had a bf, and chris wasn't calling my phon...after the confusion wore off of how he'd gotten my number(steve lol), we kind of started dating...and by this time, steve, chris and my girl had convinced me to dump the bf...who was as i said, draining me financially and doing it quickly...when the bf returned, i was a little torn...i wasn't really seeing everything the guys were seeing...and finally one night, after he got home and chris went back to the barracks, i went on a "drive". it's what i used to do when i needed to think...if you know that part of california, i can tell you now: if you exit fallbrook down fallbrook road, to hwy 76, go south on i-15, west on 78, and then north on i-5 and go to the main gate of camp pendleton, through the naval weapons station, it's a little over an hour, for the whole trip...and it cleared my head....well, this particular night, somehow, after my "trip" i ended up at the naval barracks...and i saw chris' car, so i called him and had him come down...we started out driving to oceanside beach...then, somehow, we ended up at kmart in Imperial beach, to grab both of us a long sleeve shirt, and me some jeans, with the intent of going to the beach to walk...we ended up in Tijuana...lol...after much money spent, and quite a bit of drinking, we somehow made it safely back to the barracks the next morning...the rest is more or less history! we got engaged about 3 months later, lol...after 2 1/2 years of an dup and down relationship, we now have a 1 year old son...and just had our 4 year anniversary(although we ain't celebrated it yet!)...
