Aight So Boom…

My best friend Chris aka “Young Scrappa” told me to come over to his house one day for bible study. Really that means we’re drinking and talking about women. He mentions Nathalie, his boo thang, has her cousin in town from Boston for the weekend and they might come over. At this point I never met Nathalie or her cousin so I thought it might be cool if they came over. Now everyone knows that if you’re meeting a girl’s friend, cousin, sister, aunt or even half niece by marriage for a “Blind Date” it’s always good to ask how they look first or see a picture. I asked Chris and he gonna say, “I face-timed her cousin once but it was dark so I don’t know what she looks like.” Now, how is that supposed to help me??? Also, he said “The cousin has your instagram and she knows what you look like already” as he shrugs shoulders. How is that fair? But, no problem. I told Chris “Tell them to come over anyway. If anything I’ll meet Nathalie for the first time and if I don’t vibe with her cousin I can just leave.” My car got a remote start so I can turn the engine on from his house. He agrees and makes the call.

About an hour went by, while we were waiting for the lovely ladies to grace us with their presence. After reading over our scripture and combing through our bible verses the ladies finally arrived. Chris went to greet them at the door. As he came upstairs to lead them to the living room he gave me a thumbs up. Yup, that was a good sign. I greeted Nathalie and laid eyes on my soon to be wife, Maria “My Jalapeno Hottie” Arzu. I thought she was one fine mamacita. She had a beautiful smile, lips, voice, forehead, elbows and eyes that grabbed my attention as soon as she looked in my direction. After we exchanged hellos I knew it was going to be a good night. We played Uno, games, and talked all night. Me and Maria’s conversations never slowed down one bit. She told me about her job, her family, life goals, spoke about how handsome I was, how I was God’s gift to women, and even spoke about her lowdown and dirty exes. I told her it’s hard being this gifted, spoke about my family, my goals and even mentioned my horrible dating history. We laughed constantly and I can honestly say it was one of the best conversations I ever had.

We spoke for hours, watched movies and even fell asleep on the couch. Now keep in my mind even though the night was great I still thought to myself, “I will probably never see this girl again.” Remember, she lives near Boston and to be honest when Maria asked me “Do you believe in long distance relationships?" I replied, “Uhhhh Nooo”. So, when the time came for me to leave in the wee hours of the morning I didn’t plan on asking for her number. Maria noticed this, looked me in the eyes with those giant whirlpools of love and said “Since you’re not going to ask for my number, I guess I’ll have to just give it to you.” Then she grabbed my phone, typed her digits in my mobile device and sent me on my way. Yup folks I got bagged and I loved every minute of it. From that day forward we grew closer and closer everyday. I’ll never forget that day we met because it was not only random but it was truly special. Maria might remember the night a little differently but….

….this is my story and I’m sticking to it!
