We met in the summer of 1999, I was in 8th grade and he was a freshman in highschool. Bobby was friends with my older brother Broderick, a few guys came over visiting him and when the guys went past my room Bobby stopped and had this blank stare on his face, I was annoyed because I was eating ramen noodles and watching my favorite show and look up and there’s a stranger staring at me. Our next encounter I was a freshman at the highschool and he was a sophomore and we had a Spanish class together. No one took Mrs.Squares class serious so it was our time to get to know one another, we would joke and talk the whole period. One day I was cold and he offered me his jacket, it smelled like JOOP cologne and I was smitten. We dated on and off throughout highschool, I always joke that he was everyone’s highschool sweetheart, he’s always had a way with the ladies. and when it was time for him to go off to college I knew there would be less time for me as he embarked on a new journey, where there would be an overflow of ladies. Over the years we kept in contact, checked on one another, called for birthdays, and holidays. We always joked about how we always felt connected, it was so easy to pick up where we left off, through other breakups, life,’s obstacles, deaths in the families, whatever. Then in 2010 he sent me a message asking about a date and I obliged. We dated for about 6 months, seeing one another 4-5 times a week when he asked how did I feel about being monogamous. It caught me off guard because I thought he wasn’t ready, but I wanted to give it a try and see if he was capable of monogamy, watching him interact with our kids made me fall in love all over again, and here we are. He asked for my hand in marriage Sept 09, 2017 after our flight to Jamaica got cancelled which is where he wanted to propose, I said yes and the rest is just like all of our old times, HISTORY!
