On July 4th, 2015, I (Kelli) decided to celebrate my birthday with one of my best friends, Chant, at a cookout. So everything’s going great until somebody whipped out a deck of cards, and suggested a game of spades. On the surface this doesn’t seem like an issue at all. But see, the thing is, I LOVE spades, and everyone had a partner except for me!!! Or at-least I thought! As I’m being over dramatic about not having a partner, Quentin approaches me and offered to be my partner.” After I excitingly accepted, I immediately started talking trash to him. Telling him, you better know what you doing, and you better play your hand right! Well, Quentin gave me the most serious yet playful look, and said “No!, You better not mess this up.” Y’all! I got nervous! See the funny thing is, I’m only an average player. I just know how to talk so much trash, until the other team losses focus and messes up. But it was too late now! I had already boosted my self up, and Quentin was waiting to see some action. The cards were dealt, and it was time to play. I had a pretty good hand, but honestly, I wasn’t quite sure how to play it. Well, Quentin must’ve sensed my uncertainty because when I looked up at him, he said “just follow my lead”, and that’s exactly what I did! After a while, I could tell by his face expression how he wanted me to play my cards. He led our every move, and I followed. While talking trash the whole time, of coarse. Needless to say, we won every hand that night!!! What’s crazy is, it’s the same chemistry that we had the first night we met playing spades, that has brought us so close together.... ...I CAN ALWAYS DEPEND ON HIM TO POINT US IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND HE KNOW’S ONCE HE GETS US ON THE RIGHT PATH, IM GOING TO CARRY US THROUGH!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ P.S. Quentin said he knew I was all talk from the beginning😩😳🤣🤷🏿‍♀️
