Our love started as a work crush and became so much more. We occasionally met up outside the office with other people present, but the first time we hung out alone was when Austin helped Erica move into her new apartment. Ten minutes before Austin came over, Erica had an allergic reaction and her lip blew up. Both of us were laughing at the situation while Austin helped put together the coffee table, we drank mimosas and learned more about each other. The time came when Austin had to go home, and Erica took the opportunity to set up the next time we would see each other over margaritas and tacos. We closed the night with a game of pool where Austin graciously lost the game, but won our first kiss.
