Victoria

Another childhood friend of mine. This story ends up much like the other, but then again I only realized how beautiful this girl was after it was too late.

If Acima was my school childhood sweet hart, I suppose Victoria could be labeled as my out of school childhood sweet hart. My mom and her mom were best friends so the two of us would always spend a lot of time together. I can remember always going to her house and playing video games or dolls (Yes, dolls) and sometimes we would set up Domino Rally up. We would try to make these crazy tracks and hope that the dominoes would trigger each and every one. Most of the time we were not successful, but I think we pulled it off once or twice.

In any case, we spent a lot of time together when we were younger. The more I think about it, when I was not in school the two of us would hang out a lot. I remember Halloweens were we would go over and hang out and then there was a couple of fairs we went to together. I did not like girls like that at that young of an age, but Victoria was one of my closer friends. I very much enjoyed her company.

Then middle school came around and we lost touch. I do not know what ti was with middle school and me losing touch with all these hotties, but it happened. I might have seen Victoria once or twice during my 6th through 8th grade years.

High school came around and I was once again given the opportunity to make up for lost time. I want to say it was Victoria's 15th or 16th birthday party. My mom had to plead with me to go. For some reason I was opposed to going to hang out with this girl and her family. I mean I was a boy into girls. It was a girl's birthday party. That meant there was going to be tons of girls there. Why would I not want to go? I wish I knew, but I did go. I wish I would have stayed home.

It was the first time I saw Victoria and noticed how beautiful she had become. She was a young woman, and when my mom reintroduced us I could tell she was super shy. I could not see why. We had practically grown up together and now she had to avert her eyes at the sight of me. Now, I did not handle this too well. For some reason I got all big headed and thought I was the beeze neeze. I acted real cocky around her and I did not even talk to her for the majority of the party. If I was smart I would have tried to rekindle an old flame or friendship or maybe asked her out, but no I was a jack ass and brushed her off. That was the end of any hopes I had with Victoria.

That was the last time I saw her for a long time. She invited me to her graduation party, but sadly it fell on the same day as my own so we missed each other on that day as well.

Late in the college years, facebook became all the rage. This was during my super lonely days and I would browse facebook and try to find all the old flames I tried to get with. I eventually came across Victoria's page and my goodness...she was simply stunning. She had grown into such a beautiful female I could hardly believe it. This was the same girl I used to play in her room, just the two of us.

Of course she was in a relationship. How could someone that sexy be single? Still, I did what any person would do. I befriended her and hoped for the best. Well I suppose the best happened. I got a second chance. She ended up breaking up with the d-bag she was with and was single once again. Woot! Now, all I had to do was somehow get us to start hanging out and make up for all that lost time. I got her number and I tried talking with her on the phone. I was never the smoothest conversationalist, but somehow I managed to get us to meet up at Whisky South.

This was an interesting trip. I picked up my two friends Andres and Steven up as I thought they would be good wing man for me. I had no idea how this girl partied or how this night was going to go, but I was just happy at the chance of having something happen.

Right when we get to the parking lot my car dies on me. It turns out that my transmission died on me that night.

Great. Well hopefully the rest of the night will be better then that. I was already thinking ahead to how much that was going to cost me. We get there and Victoria is surrounded by people. She seemed like the center of attention for the entire club. It was hard enough getting her attention and keeping it. She recognized me, which was good I suppose. We hugged and shared some small talk, but I was not part of her friends and they started to separate us. we took one shot together, then we got off one picture together and that was it. the crowds pushed us away and my two friends watched helplessly as I was unable to move in or get close enough to talk to her for the rest of the night.

Epic failure.

What's even worse is that since my car died. I had to call my mom to pick me up from the club.

Super epic failure!

If you can consider that a chance, it was my last with Victoria. She was in a relationship not long after with the supposed most eligible bachelor of Florida or something. The two then became engaged and followed it up with marriage.

The two live happily married to the best of my knowledge.
