Unlike a lot of love stories out there, ours was a bit complicated. I would love to say we met at an innocent location and he swept me off of my feet knowing all the right words to say and how it was love at first sight. Truthfully, we were both ready to give up and found each other by chance. I was having the worst dating experiences and he was going through something similar. But it's true when they say things happen for a reason. I decided to give the digital dating scene a try promising this would be my last shot before giving up. While somewhere in Williamsburg, VA, Mike would be feeling the same way. We both logged in to Plenty of Fish(POF) where we would give this crazy thing one last try. And as the story goes he reached out first and was able to hold my attention. I was pleasantly shocked, but the deal-breaker was the distance, I was not willing to travel an hr away for love or the idea of it. But Michael was persistent and wanted me to give him a try. We went out to play mini-golf and all I can say is he turned a few heads(his words, not mine lol). He sucked at the sport but it wasn't about the challenge it was about how he loss with grace... no I take that back he was a bad loser. PS I got a hole in one. .
Lately, Shenitha's been acting a bit weird, I think she knows something. This week she was buying me lots of gifts and treating me like a King; fixing my meals, massages, and simple kisses. Not to say that she doesn't do this already, but this week she was on it. Along with Jai constantly bothering me about when I'm going to marry her mother; as if they already knew I bought the ring. On the day I picked up the ring to propose, I was going through scenarios on what to say, how to say it, and where to say it. But I'm an inpatient man and wanted to see her smile now, so whatever it took, I was going to propose at home that day. Being the fool that I am, as she was sitting on the couch, I took one of the rubber bands out of the kitchen drawer and began to propose. I normally do this for fun, testing our bond by getting her to say yes because she always says a ring wasn't needed to express our love and forever bond. Needless to say, she said yes and then continued to clean up the apartment. 15 mins later I noticed the rubber band was off of her finger... oh hells no, this rubber band was a symbol of our love. I asked where was the symbol and she said that she wasn't wearing no damn rubber band around her finger because it would cut off her circulation. That was my attempt to propose the right way, but she wouldn't be still. Running back and forth through the apartment cleaning and organizing. I stashed the ring in the bathroom for the perfect time. She's asking why I keep going in the bathroom and do I need to poop. She wouldn't be still. So, I just got down on one knee in front of the bathroom door and said "Being that you won't keep that rubber band on your finger how about this", and presented the ring...
