Will’s Version:

The true story of the night we met!

It was just a typical Friday night with gorgeous Alabama Fall weather. My buddies, Garrett and Isaac, wanted to go the bar. So I suited up in my short shorts and sperries and prepped myself for a hype Friday night.

I didn't really care where we went, just was happy to be going out! Garrett suggested that we go to Rythem and Brews, I guess he was feeling like a lil' cowboy or something (he's 5' 2" for reference).

Initially when we got into the bar and were making our way to the other side, I felt something on the side of my head. I was like what the heck is that? I turn to look, and it's this little girl staring a hole in my head! So I stared right back at her! I won that staring contest and I kept walking to get my first drink of the night.

So some time goes by and I'm standing at the bar getting my (insert number here, probably my second if I had to guess) drink of the night and there it is again! That feeling in the back of my head. A couple people down from me there she is again, staring. I was thinking, "oh she lost the first time and she's not going to win the second time!" So I stared her right back. This time I threw in some dance moves to make sure she wasn't playing around. I look in front of the people and then behind the line of people and then back to the front. She mimicked what I did and that's when I knew she wasn't joking around. As soon as I won that one, I vanished!

I wanted her to think about me and about how I've been winning every staring battle she has started. So now I'm living rent free in her head for the rest of the night.

Towards the end of the night I started drinking water and was ready to go home but Garrett and Isaac wanted to break dance for a bit longer. So I just sipped on my water and waited for them to get it out of their system. Not thinking anything of it, here comes this little cute girl that I've been beating in these staring contests all night!

"Are you drinking water," She blared out at me.

Baffled that I was drinking water, she offered to buy me a drink. I'm not refusing a free drink. We talked for a bit and I gave her my phone number and set plans up to watch football the next day and go to church on Sunday.

Chalked it up as a pretty good weekend and the rest is history.
