A Modern Love Affair

One random day on any normal afternoon. I was working from home while surely drinking some kind of alcoholic beverage and taking down my hair. While I was at work I also enjoyed a video chat site just to talk and meet new people. I had recently moved to Memphis and didn't know anyone. As I chatted with others this guy cammed up and said "Hey I'm in Memphis too, we should hangout!" We exchanged numbers and talked for all hours of the night while he was at the casino with his grandma. Soon after that we went on a first date and the rest led to this....

It was supposed to be our second date and this girl lived off of pizza and wine coolers at the time. So I decided to do a lil something and show off my chef skills. So I was on my way over to her crib to get started preparing the food. When I got there she let me in and I was instantly tripping at what I saw. She had her laptop hooked up to her tv and Naruto playing big as day. For anyone who knows me I'm a huge anime fan and am currently writing my own comic book! So in this moment of realization I realized I think I can do this for awhile and she's been surprising me ever since.

I had been in Memphis for about nine months and had lost everything. In a rather rough period in my life Damond came out of nowhere, We had talked briefly and been on a date and the long phone convos. Then I lost my job all of a sudden all my free time was for him. I tried to struggle it out in silence and he was continuously always there for me. I decided I couldn't take living in Memphis anymore and packed up to move to Texas. So I left him behind along with all of our great dates and memorable talks and plans for bight futures. About 2 weeks later I decided to move back to Atlanta and I had to catch a bus back through Memphis to get there. We had talked frequently since I left but we weren't anything official so I honestly was surprised when he said he would meet me and hangout during my layover. I was so nervous when I got to Memphis I just knew he wasn't gonna show up. I decided not to give a reminder call because I didn't want to seem desperate. When he pulled up and smiled his perfectly happy smile at me my heart melted in that moment and I had the thought this could be it!
