Our Story: As Told By Travis

I first laid eyes on Emma my freshman year of college a when I was on the Concordia basketball team. It was move in day at Concordia and I had just met Levi who was my roomate there. Levi and I were hanging out side meeting new people and I saw this super fine blonde girl up stairs while me and Levi were in the quad sitting down with Trevor and Nate. I immediately say to Trevor dang who's that hot blonde girl up there. He goes oh thats Emma she went to high school with Nate and I. I was just in awe so Emma comes down with Sara Cahill who she was helping move in and Nate and Trevor introduce me and Levi to Emma and Sara. I dont even remember if I was introduced I was too shy and I just sat there with some other guys who were sitting with us because I was just in awe of how hot this girl was and it was my first day remind you so I was just overwhelmed. So as the year goes by I always saw this fine blonde girl at some of our home games at Concordia and I was just like dang Nate get em. If you didnt know Nate who was one of the fab four, including Me Levi and Trevor, was my teammate and roomate my sophomore year and went to high school with Emma. Emma always kind of liked Nate through high school so Freshman year of college Nate would talk to her and she would come to our games and I was always like dang Nate she is so fine you should be with her. They kept talking and were friends but never had that official dating thing. So Sophomore year comes around and Emma is now a freshman at Concordia. So there was this freshman casino party thing on campus or maybe it was a welcome back but whatever, I saw this girl Jessy and was like dang shes cute. Turns out this girl Jessy was friends with Emma. Since Emma liked Nate who was my roommate and I like Jessy who was her friend I some how got Emmas number and had the nerve to talk to her. I knew she liked Nate so I asked her some questions about him and was talkin about him the whole time. I asked her to hook me up with her friend Jessy cuz I figured since I was helping her out with my roommate she could help me out with her friend. You know the whole time I was texting Emma I was just thinking of how lucky Nate was cuz the hottest girl in the world liked him. I always got the butterflies even just texting emma about my roommate, she was just so gorgeous I didnt know how to tell her i thought she was the most beautiful thing id ever lay eyes on. Well one night we were texting and agreed to meet in person to talk about our friends. I was like YESSSSSSSS but then I was like darnet I dont know what to say in person cuz over text i have time to think about what i say but in person im like retarded or somethin i dont know how to talk to girl especially if they are hot. Well we met on the stairs in for of the gym to talk and I was just in awe of her the whole time and I faked like i liked her friend Jessy which i thought she was cute but nothing compared to emma and emma would talk to me about nate and everything but we ended up just talking that night and didnt even really talk about nate or jessy it was more about eachother and school and everything. So I had this huge crush on this girl that liked my roommate and i liked her friend but was kind of just asking about her friend so that i could talk to her. So I started texting emma more and more and I some how became comfortable and was able to be myself around her even though i was in shock she was even talking to me. So as time went by we never talked about my roommate or her friend it was just about us. I worked my magic and gave her some of my lines that i used to have and i ended up telling her how beautiful i thought she was. i gave her the famous all the girls are here and i held out my hand but your here and i held the other hand up way higher saying how gorgeous she was. We just had that connection since the first time we texted to the first time we talked in person that one night on the stairs outside concordias gym. So we talked every day and night and we would hang out til 3 in morning alot just walking around campus or shooting hoops in the gym. I even let her beat me in horse. I liked this girl so much and we had a special connection even since the first day i laid eyes on her and i couldnt even get introduced to her cuz i was to nervous. So emma and i hung out a lot and we both liked each other but i was way to nervous to ever actually ask emma out as my girl friend. Finally i had been telling Levi my roommate how much i liked her and he knew i did because of how much i hung out with her and how much we texted. It finally happened one night when me and levi went to emmas room to watch a movie. it was past dorm hours and the RA heard us inside emmas room so we hid. The RA asked if any guys were in the room emma said no so the RA was like ok and left. 5 min later we hear the RA out side the room still and she knocked again so i quickly hid in emmas bathroom leaving Levi to hide in the shower haha. The RA comes in and searches the room and find levi hiding in the CLEAR shower hahah and the RA say ,"bust out a shower trick good one". So levi got caught and emma too for having a boy in her room past hours. I on the other hand got away scotch free because i was hiding behind the bathroom door that she never looked behind haha. So levi and emma got written up, but Levi had told just talked to us about how we should date cuz we liked each other. So it was three in the morning and Levi went back to our room rattled cuz he got writtend up and i didnt but i love that guy cuz he convinced me to finally have the nervs at three in the mornin to ask emma to go out with me. She said yes and i was the luckiest man in the world. I went and told levi he was pumped i was just so happy that me and emma had finally started dating. From then on its history. We fell in love and never looked back, hanging out basically every day and night at concordia having the times of our lives. To think if she had never liked my roommate and i had never thought her friend was cute we would have never been brought together. It was Gods plan the whole time:) Now were engaged and getting married in July and I get to spend the rest of my life with the girl that when I first laid eyes on her I couldnt even talk because she was so beautiful
