Some people wait their whole lives to find the perfect friend.
But not Isabella Washington.

Isabella had been going out with Matthew for two months now. She felt like she was on cloud nine. She'd never had a boyfriend before, and Matthew made the experience a great one.
After their first date, she told Aiden everything from beginning to end, and he was happy for his best friend. They even celebrated her all-time dream. It sounded silly, but Isabella couldn't help it. She was eighteen years old, and it was every girl's dream to date and fall in love with someone hot and dreamy, making them feel special.
Isabella might have found her guy.
Matthew asked Isabella to be his girlfriend a week after their first date during lunch at school, and they'd been happily dating ever since.
Matthew and Isabella hadn't had their first kiss, or rather, Isabella hadn't had her first kiss yet. She didn't know what a first kiss felt like. She hoped she would find out soon with the best boyfriend ever.
It was Saturday morning, and Isabella thought she would go to The Cheesecake Factory and visit Matthew during his shift. She parked in the parking lot, got out of the car, and walked inside the restaurant. As she walked in, she saw many customers eating at their tables and heard their loud chattering.
Isabella walked to one of the benches near the entrance and sat down, crossing one leg over the other. She took her phone out of her purse and searched for games she could play while she waited.
She was so entranced by the game that she didn't notice someone standing before her.
"Bella?"
Isabella looked up, seeing Matthew in his uniform, staring down at her with a smile. "Hey."
She beamed, standing up from the bench and putting her phone back in her purse.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I came by to visit you. I was hoping we could hang out during your lunch break."
"You're in luck. I was just about to take my break."
He reached into his back pocket and took out his phone, glancing at the screen.
"And I have fifteen minutes, so I'm all yours."
"Great!"
Matthew rested his hand on her back and they left the restaurant, going to the tables outside to sit next to each other.
"How's work so far?" Isabella asked, holding onto Matthew's arm.
"It's all right. It's one of those days where I don't want to quit, but I don't want to talk about my day. I want to talk about you." He smiled, watching Isabella's face. "How's my Bella doing?"
"She is bored and has nothing better to do with her time, so she thought of you and wanted to come by and see how you were doing."
