The Rawlings

We met Sunday February 9th, 2020. If you ask Alvin that’s the date our relationship started, but I’ll tell you March 28th, 2020. First Lady previously told us both she had someone for us to meet. Alvin had just finished preaching and was headed into the Fellowship Hall when he asked to speak to me later on. I on the other hand, was trying to rush to my car before anyone seen me. Alvin politely ends his conversation and attempts to catch me just as I’m about to bolt out of the church. He makes small talk while walking me to my car. I’m nervous, palms sweating. He tells me it’s not like him to approach a woman in his clergy clothes, but to me I couldn’t tell the difference between that and a suit. Upon asking for my number, I blush like a teenage girl and oblige. In my defense, I hadn’t dated for a year and a half and was giddy like a school girl. Little did I know, this was the beginning of my happily ever after.
