Jake and I met at the Imperial bar. I was out celebrating a friends birthday when this cute guy from across the bar caught my eye. It's funny because Jake and I grew up down the street from each other. We went to the same schools, had mutual friends and our parents even worked together at one point. But we never really knew each other because I am 4 years older than him. The last time I had seen him I was a senior in high school and he was a tiny little freshman. Never did I think that little freshman would be catching my eye at the bar 6 years later. After a little liquid courage I approached him. We talked, laughed and had a few drinks together. I didn't think much would come of it because I was leaving for a family vacation to Hawaii the following week. But then.. he booked his ticket to join us in Hawaii and the rest was history
