He had been addicted to a game controller since He was about 7 years old. His parents often wondered what his passion would lead to. It was truly no surprise to his friends, when He ended up working for one of the top gaming development companies. He continued playing his games on the latest controller but his most prized was the one He owned as a child. They met at a convention and instantly became friends. He invited over all the time for gaming in front of his 40’inch plasma. One evening, they were gaming and there was a moment where their eyes met. He saw her beauty, how her face was in perfect symmetry. He never acted upon his feelings, He feared losing his friendship. She had always secretly loved him, but would keep her feelings to herself. On his birthday, She decided to throw him a birthday party like no other. She got the most perfect gift, She found a video game to complete his controller set. She wrapped it up, smiled, as She knew everything would change from that moment on… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- She grew up with three brothers, so naturally She had a tomboyish side. She intimidated most men, but She had a charm that blew him away. He was her friend for over ten years, before He finally had the courage to ask her out. She was full of joy when He finally did though. He took her to their best date ever. i.e. to a gaming convention. She walked around like a little girl in a life-size dollhouse. He decided to gift her a beautiful vintage gaming controller. His son would often go stand by the cabinet where the beautiful gaming controller stood. He told his son once, “You know son, that was just the beginning of your mother and my love story…” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He was walking down the street with his parents when He saw the video game store. He stood by the store window looking at the game set and the beautiful black controller. He took a job to make enough money to buy it. He got a job waiting tables at an ice cream parlor. He enjoyed it as this beautiful elder couple ran it. They had been in love over 35 years, He loved watching them doting over one another. He decided that if He ever fell in love He would try to be like them. They were like a role model for him; they often told him He would be perfect for their granddaughter. He made enough to buy the video game set He wanted but He continued working as He enjoyed it so much. They asked him to bring the video game set so they could see what was exactly all the fuss about. Surprisingly, the little couple was up to matchmaking of their own. Their grand daughter was in town, so they invited her to visit the parlor. She walked into the store; He was just wrapping up his shift. He informed her they were closed. She giggled explaining that this was her grandparent’s doing. He watched himself fall in love with that beautiful giggling girl… ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Her son asked, “Mommy, this year I want us all to dress up as zombies like you and daddy did!”… ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
