Met: At Miles College in 1996 where both were students. âI saw her a year before I asked about her and I was watching her, she was with her friends and I didnât want to intrude,â said Arthur. âWhen the following school year started, I asked her friend about her and introduced us and thatâs how we started talking.â Said LaTessa, âHe did ask a mutual friend about me and we ended up going on a date at Burger King some time later.â First Date: At a now closed Burger King in Fairfield. âIt was a casual date. It was very comfortable,â said LaTessa. âIt was like hanging out with my best friend. It felt so natural and I just remember telling him he was different from every other guy I had talked to and I felt very comfortable to be myself and I wanted to know more about him. I still remember what we both ordered: we got two number oneâs with cheese, cut in half.â
