GET TO KNOW OUR STORY

The story you’re about to read is unlike any story you’ve ever heard before. The story of how one fateful night intertwined the fates of two very different individuals. One, a ruggedly handsome gentleman some might even say too ruggedly with a sense of humor to match. The second individual, an amazing woman both strong and breathtakingly beautiful. An Independent woman who up to this point didn’t need no man. It was a cold October night as Alejandra was getting ready to close up and lock the restaurant. As she was setting the alarm she noticed the keypad said the roof hatch was open. Alejandra being the responsible manager that she is, went to investigate. Surely enough, it was wide open, she couldn’t possibly leave it as it was so she decided to climbed up to close it. Little did she know that by climbing that ladder, she would be sealing her fate. As It turns out, the springs that held up the door were broken and as she went to take off the safety lock the door slammed down onto her head! Confused as to what had just happened she began to notice the pain she was feeling but what really got her attention was the dripping sensation on her face. At first she thought it was tears from the crying but quickly realized she couldn’t be crying from the top of her head, that could only mean it was blood flowing down her face. She managed to climb down the stairs to take a better look and saw that the blood was coming from the top of her head. She was taken to the hospital where she had to get staples to close up the cut. Ale was so lucky to be alive because if that door would have hit her on any other part of her head she would have definitely passed out and fell from the second floor, no one would have found her until the very next day. So how does Roberto fit into all of this? Well as it turns out, he left that door open on that fateful afternoon. You see, Roberto happened to work for a company that did all the HVAC at the restaurant. That day they happened to be there working on some equipment before Ale was scheduled to work and they never shut the door when they finished. So after the accident Ale’s managers started telling Roberto when he would come around to work that he owed her flowers since he almost killed her. Every time he was there Ale was off or not there so she could never put a face to who this mystery man was. A whole month passed and she had not gotten her flowers, the situation was looking dire. It was not until November 7th 2019 when Ale finally got a chance to put a face to this Roberto character that almost killed her. First thing she said to him as she walked through that door was “where are my flowers?” She said it with such a confidence that would belittle any other man, but not him. The smirk on her face after asking quickly faded as he answered the question in stride, he replied back “how about I take you out to dinner instead?” Alejandra was shooketh at the audacity of this man, to just brush of her question and throw out one of his own, she was flabbergasted! She quickly walked away nervously leaving Roberto feeling embarrassed and rejected in front of a full restaurant. As she walked into the back hidden away from everyone’s gaze, she immediately regretted it and felt bad. The next day his coworkers were back at her work to do a job. Ale took the chance to ask for his number to apologize over a text since he wasn’t on the job that day. Roberto took one more chance and asked her out for a quick beer at BJ’s after work, this time she happily agreed. Exactly a year later on November 7th 2020, Roberto asks Alejandra to marry him to which she excitedly says yes and yes he brought the flowers, beautiful deep red roses.
