How We Met?

Akela and X’Avier met while exchanging conversation on social media, AKA, he slid in her DMs. X’Avier side of the story is different from Akela’s, so we will tell both.&nbsp; X’Avier Side:&nbsp;“One day Akela wrote me asking about my job wanting to know if we were hiring. I told her yes and got her an interview. She stopped talking to me after she got the job but a young brother was persistent and confident and reeled it back in. Moral of the story she used me to get a job!”&nbsp; Akela Side:“One day when I was at my friend Breona’s house for a sleepover, X’Avier wrote me asking me about her dog. I had recently wrote X’Avier about the job as a joke but since he really got me the job, I took it. I was about the business and X’Avier admitted he had been looking at me for a minute, I just, you know, sparked it a little bit.”
