A Bushwick Love Story

Love at first laugh

It was July 26th 2019 at 3 Diamond Door on Knickerbocker Avenue. I walked in and noticed Robert's gaze towards me from across the room practically looking like Chris Brown. There I was staring at this guy, not having a clue my life was changing in that very moment. From light banter to mime conversations I knew he was different. Everything he did. Buying me a High life when I was running low, making me laugh with some silly pick-up lines, and being smooth all at the same time. I gave him my phone number (which I never did) but right after I left to his surprise. Robert didn't stop there. He texted me and said "Lol Goodnight Leya, I'm going to take you out". And so he did....

First Date

…. So I did, and took her out to a bar in Bushwick called Abe’s Pagoda. After just talking through texts and admittedly not fully remembering the night we met, when I finally got to see her again, I was in awe at how much more beautiful she was in person. We sat down to talk and the rest of the night was lightning in a bottle. We spoke for hours until we realized it was 2 a.m. and it was time to go home. Knowing that we lived 10 minutes from each other, and being the gentleman that I am, I offered to walk her home. When we arrived I even got to meet the second most beautiful girl in the world, her dog Lady. We walked her around the block together until it was time to part ways. I said goodbye and walked home thinking I was so hooked and couldn’t wait to see her again. After that, the game done changed.
