Obama was a quick learner with a sharp mind. Michelle worked at the same firm. She was assigned to be his mentor. It was then that she became his secret crush.

He was struck by her beauty.

They met each other regularly at work. She even took him out to a few parties. Obama had not adopted any style as such. He was clumsy with his dressing and often wore mismatched attire.

But Michelle, who was always cautious about her style never complained.

With time, Obama plucked up courage to ask her out. But Michelle refused. Obama didn't lose hope. He kept asking her, hoping that one day she would eventually say. “yes”.

Obama's intellect was obvious and noticed by all. Michelle was unaware of it till she became his mentor. His vision seemed so clear and real that she could not help but develop respect and love for the man.

She knew he was special. But she was his mentor at the firm and thought it wouldn't be appropriate for them to get involved in a relationship.

Then one day, Obama offered to quit his job, if that's what it would cost to have her. Finally, Michelle softened and agreed to date with him.  

On their first date, Obama treated her with Baskin-Robbins ice cream.
