They sat next each other in Geometry Class, but were soon moved because they talked too much. Their paths would cross before their volleyball and basketball games in the gym. Perhaps awkward teenage conversation and glances kept it from becoming more or it was a friendship that was worth having for years.
But of course love is always mixed in there and that friendship gradually evolved into a relationship. They spent more time together going hiking, to museums and concerts. They were cautious. Neither wanted to lose the friendship. Neither wanted to lose the other.
Then one night, at Hotel Casa 425 Lounge & Bar, they cuddled by the fire and shared their first kiss.
They had been friends for so long and gone on hundreds of dates, but they picked the Argentinian Restaurant Guacho Grill for their first official one so when people asked, they would know what to say.
Friends for life is exactly what they wanted to be and so Alex made sure he would marry the woman he could always talk to, the one that made him better, the one that would always be his friend. He took Stacie out to Waldorf Astoria in Monarch Beach and when they got back to his apartment, he took Stacy onto the balcony. He read the book, Me Haces Feliz, while Nat King Cole’s, “When I fall in love,” played in the background and asked Stacy to be his forever. Stacy of course said, Yes! She would marry her best friend.
