My best friend

I met by accident.  I was with my cousin and she was going to introduce me to her good friend and thought that we would also get along since we had mutual interest in common. While waiting for her to appear, some "random" person approached and starting talking to my cousin.  Because I didn't know the person, I stayed back and remained quiet but kept a watchful, critical eye on the stranger and the interaction between the two.  It wasn't until several minutes had passed before my cousin made the introductions and by then, I had already made up my mind that I wasn't going to like him; he was loud and he talked too much. Luckily, I was wrong. 

It turned out that my cousin and Aaron had gone to school together and although they weren't the best of friends, there was a friendship there and soon I would see why. Aaron is the kindest and nicest person  I've ever been fortunate enough to have met. And although he still talks more than any female that I know, he is also the best listener.  After meeting him, I knew that I had just met the best friend that I never knew I didn't have.  Apparently, Aaron had just returned to town and my cousin was the first person that he had seen since returning.  I say that our friendship was accidental because had Aaron not gone to the mall on that day, our paths wouldn't have crossed since I was scheduled to leave town the next day. But because of that encounter, I met my very best friend.
