One rainy Saturday night became the night our love affair began. We were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend, Cecial aka "The Love Doctor". Earlier that day, I was helping a good friend prepare for her wedding. We laughed and we prayed, not knowing my prayers would be answered this day also. Once I returned home, I began getting ready for my first blind date. Then the rain started. At this time, we had no contact information for each other. I was afraid I was going to be stood up. But, I continued getting ready anyway. The rain stopped about an hour before I left the house. I arrived to the restaurant right on time, which is good for me because I'm always running late. I mean ALWAYS. I saw this handsome, light-skinned man standing in the corner holding a drink but didn't know if he was my date. I approach the hosts stand and explained I was there for a blind date. The hostess became very excited and walked me to that handsome man in the corner. I walked up and said," Conrad?". He look up and said, "Damn!". The sparks were there immediately. We ate, we talked, we laughed and talked some more. I didn't want the night to end. Neither did he. (DUH!) So, we had a night cap at a nearby hookah lounge. The rest is history in the making!!
