It was the summer of 2017. I was on break from college around 22 years old. Like many college students, the summer brought a 'summer job'. Often, these summer jobs are hard and physically draining. This was my experience. I worked at a warehouse unloading trucks and stocking supplies. I ran around all day in a hot, sticky warehouse with no air conditioning on 90 degree days. There were plenty of young people working, so it was fun to pass the time everyday by peeking at some of the sexy Latinas that worked in the facility. There was one in particular which caught my eye. I found myself looking her way but I wasn't sure she was interested in return.
To my surprise, one evening as I was punching out at the end of the work day, the thick brunette who I had been eyeing came directly up to me and handed me a piece of paper. Before I could get words out, she said "I don't ever do anything like this, but if you ever want to give me a call or text me, here's my number" and she walked away. I stuttered and stammered incoherently. She smiled and just kept on walking. I tried to be patient before sending her a text message. I cracked after a couple hours that same day. I needed to say something. I let her know how flattered I was and that I found her cute as well.
We eventually set up a date to go bowling one weekend. We chatted and laughed all night but it ended innocently. We continued to see each other at work and ate lunch together and set up another date. This time we decided on the movies. Spider-Man Homecoming had just come out and we thought that would be the perfect thing to watch.
