This is a story of forbidden Happiness & Joy that initially started the summer of 2017! If we're being honest how we met is the old tell of acquaintances turned partners in crime; met as friends being from the same coast (East) living in a foreign land (Texas that is) drew us together, became close friends having intellectual, rich, inspiring, encouraging, and uplifting conversations and then on to Love Everlasting! Some would say Mayleen stalked James to make this union happen but shockingly enough it’s actually the complete opposite, through the conversations, supportive shoulders given, James felt deep respect and curiosity of Mayleen’s heart! So much so that he would boyishly come up with reasons to have to see Mayleen and speak with Mayleen (the proverbial Stalking)! This went on for some time, a long time (something like a year) due to the status of “Friend Zone”, until James found the courage to step out of the Friend Zone and take a chance to test the forbidden waters of being more than Friends! Initially Mayleen felt those waters were too cold but with consistent flirting, propositioning, and just flat out “Game” Lol... James made those waters warm enough for Mayleen to step in and feel it out. And James is forever Grateful of the day Mayleen made that decision because now James and Mayleen are happily enjoying each other’s company, creating and molding a new life together! God is Good!
