Anthony and I met at Sephora. We were both working there for the holidays. I remember seeing him and thinking “daaaaaaaamn he cute”, but I was too shy to talk to him. I went to the work station next to him so he could ask me for help 😉 He was definitely struggling and needed help LOL. We were both from Cali and we got along great…until he mentioned his favorite football team was the Raiders. Ain’t no way! See I’m a Niner fan so the battle of the bay was a real thing 😂 I started off walking past him like “yo team lost haaaa!” I really hated working labor and wanted to quit but I was excited to come to work so I could talk to him. We became closer when we started working that box machine 😩 I was like aiiiight imma shoot my shot. I remember writing my number on a piece of paper and handed it to him. He said I don’t need that…I thought damn he’s rejecting me like that he’s cold LOL. Then he said “I’m good with numbers I’ll remember. I remember smiling hard af! I gave him the number as we were walking out for break and sure enough a txt message came through. He really was good with numbers after all 😂. It was up from there…we got to know each other more, talked on the phone, spent time at work, started eating lunch together, etc. He became someone I could trust and confide in. This was hard for me to do at first because of my past. Do you ever feel like you were put in a specific place at a specific time? I literally manifested this, I prayed for HIM. He is everything I asked for. He’s a protector, a provider, & a REAL man who can fix anything. He loves his family so much & the way he treats his mother and sisters made me fall in love with him even more. This is just the beginning of our story but I can’t wait to live this life with him. He’s going to say that I got at him and the rest was history so I just went ahead and wrote this for us 😂 we look forward to sharing the beginning of our NEW life with y’all. 💙
