You never know where love may find you
It was a September evening in 2016 that I attended a Kanye West concert in DC with some friends. After the concert, we went to a local speakeasy to debrief our experience and catch up. After…several…cocktails ๐, my home-girl calls an #Uber to take us to one of our fave late night spots in the city.
The Uber pulls up, she hops in the back with her friend at the time, so I hop in the front. A few minutes into the ride, I look over at the driver and…my.word., I was just…๐. So with my liquid courage STRONGLY intact๐ช๐ฝ, your girl shoots.her.shot. I ask โ๐๐๐ธ๐๐๐ ๐๐, ๐น๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ถ ๐๐พ๐๐๐ป๐๐พ๐๐๐น?โ to which he responds, โno maโamโ. Now as a city girl, I was like โno maโam?!?โ ๐ง๐ง but that didnโt stop me from proceeding to ask โ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐น ๐๐๐ ๐๐พ๐๐ ๐๐๐?!โ ๐๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ He flashes a handsome grin, laughing a bit at my audacity, we chat about music and such and he drops me and my friends off. Some areas of that convo are a bit blurry ๐ฅด๐ธbut Iโd apparently given him my number before leaving.
A week later ๐, he texts me and โCollusโ appears on my phone. I had no idea who he was ๐๐ Soooo, I ask for a photo and when he sent it, I of course immediately remembered who he was.
Fast forward a year, we moved in together. Another year later, we were engaged. 6 months later, married, 4 months after that, pregnant and in a little over a week, weโre making a huge move for our familyโs future. โค๏ธ
