It is back on! See you August 14th :)

It always turns out that you find love when you are least expecting it. Lilian was starting for his very first time staying in the city and not going offshore in Douala, Cameroon around August 2019. I had been living in the city for two years since then waiting anxiously for my contract to be over. O'Sport, the spot we both loved to release our stress and spend our nights, became the place we "spotted" one another. He says that he saw me since Octoberish but like I said we weren't necessarily looking for anything, especially not in Douala. I saw him too but was too busy with dance and my best friend, Rahma. December came around, and we ended up going to the same party and that was all it took. His friend said, "just go talk to her." I told Rahma, "He's here! The guy from the gym." We talked that night, got over our shyness and just enjoyed the simplicity of our conversation. I remember not wanting to stop talking to him. He left that night and forgot to ask my number. Luckily, Monday we both had a place we would meet again, O'Sport. Shortly after 5pm, here comes Lilian, "Can I have your number?" Oh, how my smile stayed on my face that night and our texting/love story began. Selfies at work, quick hellos during every hour and silly flirty messages swept me off my feet. It only took one dinner date at 5 forks to realize that this guy was absolutely unbelievable. We ate, we talked for 2 hours about the "no-go zone" and his love for his son and other things that made us, us... And that was the end of that. I realized I found my one and so did he. Our last 6 months in Douala, we were inseparable and spent as much time as we could together, falling more in love everyday and that has led us to where we are now. Becoming the Raigneau's. A French man and an American woman, meeting in Cameroon, Africa. And what's next - Dubai + our wedding. After? Well we will see where the wind blows our souls and where we can continue to cherish our love.
