December 7th 2024.
It was a rainy evening in February 2004 when Jaime was surprised by a knock on her door. Opening it, she found a young woman, about her age, crying and soaked through. The woman explained that she knew Jaime's housemate and that he had offered her a place to stay for a few days. Jaime rolled her eyes, knowing this wasn't the first time her housemate had taken in a stray. Despite her initial annoyance, Jaime invited the woman in to warm up and get settled. As they got to know each other over a cup of tea, the woman revealed that she was from New Zealand and had been traveling with her fiancé until he had thrown her out for not wanting to go skiing. Jaime couldn't help but think what a jerk he must have been.
Despite the unfortunate circumstances that had brought them together, Jaime and the woman quickly became friends. The woman ended up staying in the spare single bed in the flat, and by May, it seemed like she was a permanent fixture. Jaime was busy focusing on her career, but also enjoying her single life and late night adventures with friends. That's why she and her housemates decided to throw a party on the bank holiday weekend. The garden was full of people, and they were all having a great time with a water fight and a BBQ. Jaime was daydreaming about what the after party would be like when there was a knock at the door.
This time, Jaime was greeted by a tall, muscular man with a beard and wrap-around sunglasses. He was wearing a tight shirt, denim shorts, and Birkenstocks, and was carrying a bottle of gin and a cardboard box full of random items, including a G-string. Jaime was confused, to say the least. The man introduced himself as Noah with a thick Kiwi accent and explained that he was there to return some things to his ex-girlfriend, who happened to be Jaime's housemate. He also mentioned that he was hungover and in need of a sausage. Before Jaime could refuse him entry, he had already made his way to the kitchen. Jaime couldn't help but think what a jerk he must be, just like the woman's ex-fiancé.
Luckily, Jaime's housemates were not around to witness Noah's arrival. Jaime found herself warming up to him as they talked in the garden and realized they had a lot in common. He even had tickets to see Mr. Scruff on Saturday and invited her to a pre-party at his place. Jaime agreed, excited to spend more time with him. Later on, she confronted her housemate about what really happened between her and Noah, and was surprised to hear a different story. She felt silly for taking her housemate's word for it and couldn't wait to spend more time with Noah.
Their night out was a blast, and Jaime ended up staying over at Noah's place. The next morning, he had breakfast ready for her and she couldn't help but think what a sweetheart he was. They continued to spend all their time together and within five years, they were married with a baby and proudly owned their own home. It's crazy to think that none of this would have happened if Jaime hadn't opened her front door that night in February. But she was so glad she did. She and Noah recently celebrated their 20th anniversary and Jaime is still in touch with the housemate who accidentally brought them together. What a serendipitous encounter that rainy evening.
