Nicke and I met while working together in Midland, TX. Her first question was ‘Do you have a girlfriend?’. She was in a relationship and I was working on myself and self worth. I remember calling my best friend to tell her about my new job and mentioning that there was this girl. I recall I said she wasn’t exactly my type but was really funny and had gorgeous hair. Little did I know. Months went by and Nicke and I began building a friendship. One evening, the crew from work went to dinner and everything shifted. She wore this light black v neck shirt and laughed and joked around all night with everyone. I realized how clever and smart she truly was, and damn, she looked beautiful. She left the outing early to go meet her date, and I found myself jealous, and wishing she were mine. Over the course of the next few months my feelings grew stronger and Nicke and I at times even flirted a bit behind the scenes. I knew it didn’t mean anything until New Year’s Eve 2016... when she invited me out and we shared our first kiss. However, this was not the start of our relationship, this was the mark of the greatest cat and mouse game of all time. Months went by and our friendship strengthened and then, of course, so did our flirting. With her still in the arms of another, I frequently ended my day with thoughts of her and what could be. To my surprise, months later something shifted and the stars aligned. We have journeyed together in our lives and romance since October 17, 2017; the day my princess chose me. Our journey has taken us through promotions and hard times, great times and even a move across the country. She is my favorite person to do everything with, and there’s no one else I could ever imagine by my side. I love the way we laugh, love, and even fight. There is not one other person in this world that could have better supported me into growing into the person I am today. I can’t wait to continue our fairytale for the rest of our lives.
