My friend Natalia and I met at Red Lobster. We were both hosts and eventually both became servers. We knew each other through our early college years. We have had many hilarious moments together.

 

We both flirted with Aleks, a fellow server and did our best to push his buttons. He was much older than us (He was 25 at the time). I remember getting the call one day that she was going to cut all her long hair off into a short pixie. She asked me if she should do it, and I screamed, “YES!” Moments later, I would meet her at Little Saigon to celebrate her new hair cut.

 

This picture was taken months later to celebrate her graduation from UCF. Being friends with Natalia was always a good time but there is one important detail that we share that REALLY bonds us together…

 

She is the only girl I have ever kissed! I KNOW! Shocking, huh? How did it happen? Well let me tell you…

 

 

A group of us had rented a hotel suite to throw a friend a bachelorette party. The party was fun and we did the normal games of “I Never” and “Truth or Dare”. During the games, it was revealed that I had never kissed or made out with a girl. Later that night, when everyone had gone to bed and Natalia and I were sharing the pull out sofa bed she said, “You have never kissed a girl?” I said, “No”. She said, “Well let me be the one and only!” and with that statement, she closed her eyes and leaned in. Next thing I knew I was kissing a girl.

 

Unfortunately, Natalia and I have lost touch with each other. Moving, grad school, career changes, relationships, etc moved us apart. I know one day I will be in contact with her again. And when we get together again, her first question will be, “Am I still the only girl you have kissed?” and I will answer, “Yes”.
