We met at summer camp. We were 12 years old.
A boy kept following me around camp, chatting non-stop. Just would not accept a brush off at all, whether indirect or direct. He was annoying the hell out of me. I went into the girls bathroom. He waited outside for me as I sneaked out the other door. I found my guy friend T and asked him for help hiding me. I told him that I was pretty sure if I killed the kid, or even just kicked his butt, they would send me home. T turned to his friend J and told J to hang around with me and make sure the guy left me alone. J and I became good friends.
In our twenties, we spent alot of time together. We saw each other at least a couple times a week, usually more. One night I thought he was about to kiss me goodnight. He didn't, and abruptly left. I asked him shortly after if he wanted to go on a real date. He chickened out, and I didn't hear from him much for a while. A few years later, after he'd been one of my two best friends for 16 years, we both agreed to give dating a shot.
Easter weekend, we spent the holiday with his family and friends. We posed for pictures with his arm around me. Nobody batted an eye, it was so normal for two best friends in pictures. When he still had his arm around me
after the pictures, his mother did a double take. She then said very loudly, "
Finally! He's holding on to her!" Apparently she had chosen me many years earlier. We married six months later. That was 13 years ago.

I was thinking bass as in a fish, not music. LoL.
