Destined to be Orr

Sunday, June 26th, 2011…I walked into Floods Bar and Grill at about 6pm’ish…It was early so, and there was only 2 young ladies sitting at the bar, near the entrance…Nay had on the cutest big floppy hat (So big that it hid her face), sundress and some cute little sandals… I walked pass them, going to my favorite seat, sat down and gave the barmaid my favorite order (Catfish dinner and a Heineken)…As I ordered, I looked down towards the other end of the bar and saw that the 2 ladies drinks were almost gone….So, I told the barmaid to get them another of whatever they are drinking too…I was just being a gentleman…We didn’t make any eye contact as I wasn’t really looking down that way… After about 10-15 minutes, Nay came down, introduced herself and thanked me for the drinks… For the first time she was close enough for me to see her face, but her sundress was low cut, and showing cleavage…A LOTTA CLEAVAGE…😳…I’m sitting and she is standing so BOOM!!! They seemed soooo big that it kinda shocked me…I literally leaned back just a tad as I had to get myself together…I looked up and saw the prettiest smile and Sun kissed, chocolate skin…”Hi” she said…”I just wanna say thank you for the drinks”… “Oh”….I was almost startled by how close she was and her boobs being right in my face…😳…, “Oh!…uuuh Hi, and no problem young lady, I hope you ladies enjoy ”…I always used words like “Young Lady” and “Queen” to make women feel comfortable and at ease when in my presence…BEING A GENTLEMAN IS IMPORTANT TO ME… Right at that moment, the waitress brought my food out and Nay says…”Well I’ll let you eat, I just wanted to say thank you”….She was sooooo pretty and her skin was glowing…I was blown away!!!! “No problem”, I said as she walked back to her seat… I ordered another beer, looked down there again and sent her and her friend another round as their drinks were getting low… Not long after that, Nay and Kendra finished their drinks and were getting ready to leave… Nay walks up and says, “Okaaaaaaaay, we’re leaving, have a good day….” “Thank you,” I said, “It’s a beautiful day today, So you ladies do the same and be safe”…🙏🏾 Nay looks at me with a puzzled look and says, “Soooooo you’re not gonna ask for my number?”🤔 I was shocked and said, “Honestly, I don’t normally do that, but I’ll tell you what, TAKE MY NUMBER AND HIT ME UP IF YOU WANT TO…” I clearly wasn’t expecting a call or text from her…I just figured that she was being nice…She texted shortly after she left…And It seemed to me like she was making sure that I knew that she wanted me to have her number…😎 I wanted her to be free to choose whether or not we communicate…and not me being pushy…To be honest, she was young and very pretty and I wasn’t even thinking about dating or nothing like that…🤷🏾‍♂️…Just being a Gentleman…The way my Daddy taught me…😎 I was starting a new job the next day and got to work at 3am…I was cleaning my new office and found a DVD called “The Secret”…. I watched it (texted Nay)and life has never been the same…😎….

I remember getting dressed in my apartment in Ypsilanti and I looked at this big floppy brown sun hat in my closet and I said I’m wearing you today. I was so pressed to buy this hat years ago for it to only sit in my closet unworn. The hat matched my brown sundress so perfectly and since I was headed to the Detroit River Days on the river walk, I thought the hat would be perfect for the occasion. Little did I know I was going to meet my husband later on that day. I go to the River Days in Detroit and as we were leaving my home girl and I decided that we were making a stop for a quick drink before we head back home. We drive around downtown for a bit and then we park in the Greektown structure. As we walk the long mile to Flood’s we thought about turning around but we proceeded to Flood’s Detroit anyway. We walked in and it wasn’t a soul in there but the staff and us. HA! At this rate, it was going to be a quick drink. We took 2 seats at the bar near the dj booth and proceeded to order some drinks. We ordered 2 apple martinis, made with grey goose. While sitting there, I did notice this brown skinned guy come in and took a seat at the bar. He sat by himself about 4-5 bar stools done from us. Our drinks were damn near gone but we decided to chill for bit before heading out. The bartender came up shaking a shaker cup and told me that the brown fella brought us another round of drinks. I drink and stare in his direction to catch his eye to say thank you but our eyes never met. So I wanted a few and decided to walk down to say thank you. I am not sure why I did this because this is totally out of my character. I walk up and position my self in the bar stool where he can only see my shoulders and back. As we chatted for a few minutes I turned towards him and he kinda was blown away because my chest was kind of in his face because of the cut of the dress. 😂 As I’m sitting there chatting, the staff brought him his food. I didn’t want to watch his eat, so I say “well I’m going to let you eat, thanks again” and I head back to my seat. As we continue to chat and finish our drinks, he sends another round of drinks our way. I thought this was super dope because I didn’t expect this. Soon after, my friend and I decided to head home but before I did I went back to down and chatted with the brown fella a bit more. As the conversation came to an end, he said goodnight and I was thrown back because he never asked for my number and that seemed odd. I immediately said, “you are going to keep in touch”, he replied take mine. I locked his number in and text him my name per usual. I remember him mentioning that he was starting a new gig in the am and when I woke up for work, I checked my phone and he had texted me. He was already on my line early texting me paragraphs and he has been blowing my phone up ever since that day. 😂 I am forever grateful for nothing waiting to go home that day because on that very day, I met my husband, bestfriend, my sweetheart, my forever valentine, and my rock.
