Summer of 2013. Jeremiah and Elyssa both worked at the Shop Rite down in Metro Plaza. If this was the Chaos Theory the Butterfly Effect started about when Ly-Ly was talking to Jelly one afternoon at Shop Rite's time clock about the juicy tea concerning herself and another coworker. Little did they know the store's personal grape vine Shay was listening in. Shay asked who this secret cashier was that they were talking about. You know the saying though "Deny, deny, deny." Elyssa kept her lips sealed and Shay remained persistent. She told the girls she was going to figure out who the cashier was by the end of the day. Jelly and Elyssa laughed at Shay with her usual shenanigans and everyone went their separate ways. There wasn't anything promising about the situation, so Lyssa was not about to go public with a dalliance. Fast forward to the end of Lyssa's shift. As she was walking past the registers towards the exit Shay called out for her. Shay told Elyssa that she figured out who the guy was. Entertaining it all, Elyssa asked who it was? Shay nodded to register 9 and said "him". Standing a register away Elyssa looked over at the cashier on register 9. Smirking at Shay she then turned and asked the cashier what his name was? He replied "who me, Jeremiah"....

I really don’t remember how we met. It sort of..just happened but I’ll try to jog my memory a little. I applied to ShopRite of JC while trying to figure out what my next move for college was going to be. While in A.C I received a call back for an interview and was fortunate enough to get hired on the spot. I was hired as a cashier but because of my vast variety of skills, I worked throughout many areas of the store. As a cashier, I was under the supervision of about 4/5 ppl. Now the good part It was a bright summer day..or it could’ve been the middle of fall 🤔 I don’t remember. Anyway, I was strolling through my place of employment, probably stealing company time, when all of a sudden I heard a voice call out to me. “Is that you God?” I said to myself. After looking around I see this shorty bubbly girl approaching me with eyes of bliss. She looks at me and says “Hey, what’s your name?”. Me being my playful self respond “Black Lavender”. She goes on to invite me to a get together at her house with a couple of co-workers. I might’ve told her yeah & never showed up 🤷🏾‍♂️ who knows. The next day she asked what happened. I think I told her I didn’t have a ride or something like that. She then proceeds to invite me to her next get together along w a pick up. With no way of escaping this invitation she gets me to join in and the rest is history.
