We met in the library of Malcolm X College. Derek would always sneak in peanut butter and apples, even though the sign on the door would say not to! I would always shake my head and make fun of him. After a while, he started walking me to the train after classes. One day while we walked, I turned to him and asked him point blank why was he attracted to me, and the rest, as they say, is history…
I proposed to Angela in the same restaurant, and on the same date as our very first date! I was so nervous about popping the question, but right after dinner, I slid out of the booth and onto my knee. I was so grateful to propose to the love of my life in the same place where everything happened!
