It all started on a regular morning—just dropped my daughter off at daycare and pulled into the driveway, when I saw someone I didn’t recognize. I already knew his dad (he’d been my neighbor for years), but this mystery man? I thought he was just some teenager hanging around. Turns out, he was 22—grown, flirty, and bold. He tried to shoot his shot, and I shut it down real quick like, “Sir, please! You a baby!” Fast forward a bit—he came around to visit his dad a few more times and we hung out a little. Then he moved back out of state and I figured that was that… until I got a DM outta nowhere. “Hi Selena,” it said. Come to find out, it was him! He got my Instagram from his dad and slid into my DMs like a smooth operator. We kept in touch for almost two years—talking, laughing, building a bond—even though we never dated. Long distance just didn’t seem like it would work back then. But then, fate did her thing. In 2024, I had just dropped my daughter off again and remembered his dad wanted my daughter’s bike for someone. I go downstairs, open the door—and there he was. Same man, older, finer, and still got that bold charm. I played it cool like, “Hi, is your dad home?” But chile… the butterflies were already flying. Next thing I know, he asked for my number. I hesitated for a second… but gave in. And the rest? Well, that’s our love story in the making. “Some love stories don’t start with fireworks… sometimes, it’s just a regular day that turns into forever.
