Four Years
Four years ago today, Jake and I met at Hoek’s Death Metal Pizza. My girlfriend and I were at 6th Street for her birthday, and after a few shots she told me she hadn’t eaten all day. Hoping to avoid her getting sick, I suggested we get pizza before hitting any other spots, and the guy behind the bar recommended Hoek’s Pizza. We’d never been there before, but it was close, and that was all that mattered. When we arrived, Jake was working by himself and served us slices. Everything about him attracted me immediately; his strong arms beneath his white v-neck t-shirt, his curly blonde hair and black bandanna, but mostly his confident, self assured demeanor.
The next thing I knew, I was asking him if he had a girlfriend, and when he said no, I scribbled my name and number onto a big white napkin and slid it across the counter. Neither of us could have ever imagined that we would end up dating, falling in love, moving in together, and celebrating our fourth anniversary today. Jake later told me that he saw my friend and me walking past Hoek’s again later that night and thought I wasn’t actually interested since we were with other guys (they were just acquaintances of my friend that we ran into.) I was amazed that he actually texted me that night; I vividly remember lying in bed, wondering if I would see the cute pizza guy again.
Like anyone, Jake and I have been through amazing, blissful times as well as dark, difficult ones. But the best thing about our relationship, and the thing that matters most, is that we constantly become closer, we grow together, and our bond always gets stronger, even after the hard times. Before I get too mushy on yall, I’ll end with this—Jake is my best friend as well as the best lover I’ve ever had, and I’m so grateful that we met at Hoek’s four years ago.
And since it wouldn’t be Sinful Sunday without a little sin…
Here’s my ass on a Hoek’s Death Metal Pizza box ;)

Oh, and can I order a pizza and will it be delivered in that box?

Happy Anniversary! Such a memorable meeting story that has obviously led to a wonderful courtship! And that beautiful ass on the pizza box! Probably just as tasty as the pizza itself.
Happy anniversary. Great story too. Pizza every year on your anniversary I am guessing?
I loved the Pizza box image, very sassy and cute. Happy Anniversary and beautiful real love story

Happy anniversary and congratulations on four years together, and may you have many, many more.
Thank you for sharing the story of your meeting.
And I wonder if Hoak’s delivers, maybe I could get them to send me one extra spicy.
Happy anniversary! I could only imagine how much weight I would gain if pizza came in a box that looked like that! It really whets my appetite!
Thanks everyone for the thoughtful comments! Unfortunately Hoek’s doesn’t deliver :p
