I Warned Him, Didn’t I?

An excellent question from Monica…
“Tell us about the very FIRST time you saw and/or talked to your current significant other.”(Monica)
Our first meeting is one of the memorable stories that Amber and I love to share. While it’s not exactly the first time we’ve seen or met each other it’s the first time we really talked / flirted with each other.
It was at a Colorguard competition at Springville High School, in Springville, Ut. Amber was warming up / practicing her solo (for the upcoming solo competition later that day). I was doing the same and we were essentially sharing the same area during warm-ups. I noticed her and flirted a bit with her, but she was there with her overbearing knuckle-headed jock boyfriend. He was doing all the typical dumbass jock stuff towards her. Being rude, making fun of her and otherwise just being an asshole. So much of an asshole that later that day when I got him away from her I had a conversation with him that went something like this.
Me: “You know, you have a very nice girlfriend”
Him: “Yeah”
Me: “You know you don’t treat her very well. I’m surprised she stays with you.”
Him: “We’ve been going together forever, I’m not worried”
Me: “You know. I really like your girlfriend. I think I’ll just have to steal her from you.”
Him: “Yeah right”.
Like taking candy from a baby. 
Sidenote – last we saw him he was VERY overweight, bent over a broken-down shitty car in a Walmart parking lot, trying to get it started. Sometimes the universe just smiles on you.
