Our Love Story...💙

7-17-2017

He Said- I wasn't planning on going inside of Chipotle, I was simply going next door to pay my cell phone bill and when I walked passed the window and saw her sitting there looking like My Sunshine on a rainy cloudy day. I had to find a clever way to introduce myself to her and say hello. So, I watched her while trying to build up my nerve, I said to myself if when I come out of Sprint she's still sitting there I would make my move and there she was still sitting there, So it was time to move in and shoot my shot! I thought what better way to get her attention then to boldly sit at her table, either she is going to be flattered or pissed! Still not sure which one she really was, anyway I struck up this lame conversation but to my surprise she was equally as engaged, then she all of a sudden, kind of jumped up and said she had to leave, im thinking to myself ok you gotta attempt to leave too and it was perfect because it was raining hard and she had no umbrella, but what I knew for sure was I couldn't let her get away, nope! She finally agreed to allow me to walk her to her car, where I kinda pleaded for her number, she finally gave in. I promise, I was the happiest man alive, I stalked her, yeah I said it for days weeks trying to get that first date, when she finally agreed, I knew I had to pull all the stops to impress her. She told me she loved a good steak, I figured first date she wouldn't be comfortable with me picking her up from her home, So I thought send an Uber for her, I anxiously awaited her with her favorite color roses. Man! Let me tell you when I saw her getting out of that car looking like a ray of Sunshine, I already got the confirmation that she was going to be my wife. The evening was smooth it was perfect it was everything I had hoped it would be and more. She allowed me to escort her home and from that day forward I courted her and falling deeper in love with her. One year later on her birthday 8.18.18. I took her to revisit our first date Gibsons and as promised; on bended knee my heart in my hand I proposed and she has made me the happiest man!

Our Love Story 💕.....

She Said- We met one rainy Summer day. I ran into Chipotle to enjoy a quiet lunch alone.. While I'm simply minding my own business, enjoying a steak burrito, here comes this guy who sits at my table directly across from me as if we were together 🤔, I take a very obvious look around the somewhat empty restaurant like hmmm and think to myself, but why are you sitting here invading my space! .... It was asthough he was reading my mind, because it was in that moment, he said 'weren't you expecting me.... uhm no 👀!...... So anyway, he proceeds to introduce himself and chat about his day while asking about mine... here's the funny part I was actually listening engaging responding and kind of intrigued by his boldness! I immediately come back to my senses and I abruptly say to him, thank you for joining me but I have to get out of here, I have things to do! .. to my surprise he also began to gather up his things and hurriedly made a mad dash to walk out of the door with me, by this time it's raining like crazy and I'm without an umbrella, he of course has his and says 'let me get you to your car' I say thank you but i will make it just fine, he insists 😔. I give in. We make it to my car I jump in and there he is still standing looking pitiful and soaked lol. he asked me to roll my window down and he ask 'can I please have your number so I can take you out on a real date I respond this wasn't a date sir! he says yes it was lol.... I gave in and gave him my number and let me tell you this man called, texted me everyday, twice a day, maybe three times without fail, like literally! I was really playing hard to get for about a month after our Chipotle encounter but he wouldn't stop he persisted. Finally, I gave in one Saturday afternoon in July, He sent a car to pick me up and had me dropped off at Gibson's Steakhouse where he was very handsomely awaiting for my arrival. Once he greeted me with a kiss on my cheek and pink roses, the hostess escorted us to our table as we were walking he whispers in my ear ' not trying to scare you, but your going to be my wife' I shot him a look to kill lol. Welp, a year later on my birthday 8.18.18, he took me to the same restaurant same table and proposed, She Said Yes! I'm so excited for Our Couple of Forevers 💕
