The beginnings
The first time I met Rosemary, she was a friend's date for a 'date party' for my fraternity. The only thing I remembered about the entire thing that night was she was in my car and I was acting as suavely as possible, dropping them off a block away from the actual restaurant. That was smooth. I'll be honest, I don't think I really talked to her at dinner, despite the fact that she was apparently sitting right across from me basically. My bad.
Of course, I do remember the next time I met her. After one of her friends had come over to the house to resolve some of the drama that was going on with one of my brothers, we went on to dance to forget all that. While the drama came back later that night, I do remember a few things distinctly:
1. When she got ice, it was hot. I remember I really wanted her to give me one...
2. I remember rubbing her back, which apparently she didn't notice.
3. Later that night, possibly another night entirely but around the same time because I was wearing a 'That's Hot' hat by then, I remember talking with her and her friends for a really long time about drama, basically. She remembers that, not the rubbing of her back or the clenched teeth every time she took a piece of ice.
That was early on, some of the earliest instances. Later on, she would come over to party, and then later to just study even. I remember asking if I could kiss her. I was so happy when she said yes. So we made out while one of her friends was passed out on my bed.
