Our Story

Our relationship started May 2020 when Espe ignored me.. I was mesmerized and sad at the same time. I messaged 2 of my friends asking “who’s the CSA with her hair cut on the sides?” My friend told me she was the best person super down to earth and hella chill. I was sent from Elmwood to Main Jail due to the Riots happening downtown. The crew and I ended up getting stuck outside. I knocked on the door and Espe just so happens to be the one to open it asking me if I needed it open. Later on, she tried to talk to me but I thought she was talking to my friend. I was so sad watching her walk to her car. I sent her the friend request on ig. In her mind she thought it was weird I found her since we really did not have any mutual friends. We did not say one word to each other until I posted about trying coffee for the first time. Since then we never stopped talking. I tried multiple times getting her to hangout with me but always failed. “Tank needs me” “I’m hungover” all excuses. She told me about her favorite beer so I lured her with those beers to my parents house to come hangout with me for a bit. She only agreed to come over if I drank one with her. I was never a beer drinker but I said yes just to have some time with her. I was crushing hard. I was a nervous wreck, I could not make eye contact with her. No hug. Nothing. So awkward. But she stayed. She left around 2am! Crazyyyy. She then finds this beer with a fat Batman on the label (I love Batman) I asked her to get it for me and then uses that to lure me to her house. She made steak and asparagus. IT WAS DELICIOUS! I was going to head home after but she kept insisting that I stay. She fell asleep on the couch and I forced myself to sleep as I kept scooting my head next to hers. Next day, I wanted to go to the beach but I didnt bring extra clothes… She was a trooper and said “I will wear the same clothes as yesterday too. Let’s go” We went to Beer Can Beach and shared all our life story to each other. Espe and I got so turnt and were in a whole mood. Next morning we wake up.. no good morning.. no nothing.. lol I waited in the living room for her and she gave me a big hug. After that.. we were inseparable. I moved in about 2 weeks later and never left. Clearly she can’t get rid of me. Here we are 3 years later still going strong and growing. We still have forever to go.

For all the days along the way
