I met Chris in a library. He came over to me and asked me about the book I was reading. I knew he was chatting me so I wasn't surprised when he me out. I was single, so I said "yes" and we went on a date the next evening. We on really well together, so we went three or four times a week for the next few months. But he was nearly 1 hour late one night, so I got really angry. AFter a big fight, we up and didn't see each other for nearly three months. Then I saw him in the library again. He said he was sorry and we kissed and made . Now we've been going for nearly two years. We still fall sometimes (over things like doing the washing-up), but we are really happy together.
