Hi! My name is Ashley. When I met Bryan during the last year in college, it was "ugh" at first sight. I thought he was a good-looking jock who acted kind of cocky, which only made him seem more charming. I later found out he thought I was a suck-up because I was focused on studying and wanted to graduate as an A student. He practically avoided me wherever I showed up.
At that time, he had a girlfriend, but they soon broke up. I saw how much it changed him and wanted to help him get over it because I knew how that felt after a split. I started a casual conversation with him one day, and he ended up talking about the break-up. I told him I was sorry, and he was impressed that I cared. I was surprised that this "big man on campus" actually had a heart and feelings to express. Thus, we became friends.
At a party, we danced for the first time to Usher's "My Way." We just clicked... a sparkle ran between us, and we both lit up. Without even talking, we let each other know there was more than friendship between us. I felt drawn to him, and he felt the same. Soon, we became a couple.
He became patient and understanding about the things important to me, like school and my grades. Now we work at different places, but we make plenty of time to see each other, loyally attending each other's family events and gatherings. I love him, and how this love appeared doesn't matter to me.
