The day I met my King was when I was 17 years old on my day at work just getting out of school. He came into my job and I instantly saw his long eyelashes as he was looking up at the menu. I said, “You must look like your mother with those long eye lashes". He replied, Naw". I kindly left it alone while waiting for him to place his order. After he placed his order he asked me to write my phone number on the receipt that I gave him with his change. I responded by saying, “How old are you?' He said "19". I said, “No you are not". He then said, Naw, "I’m 18'. I said" Okay and gave him my phone number"....
Two weeks later he gave me a phone call and instantly we connected with our long talks, jokes and laughter. As time progressed we continued to converse over the phone with our hours and hours of conversations that kept us laughing and linked to each other. We decided to take it further and see each other, this day happened to fall On Valentine's Day unintentionally. He knocked on my door while my father was sitting on the couch. I introduced him to my father and he kindly shook my father’s hand with a firm grip. After their brief introduction, he passed me a single rose and a Valentine’s Day card. I blushed and smiled as I was not expecting him to bring me anything. My mother nosily was peeking through the kitchen smiling at us and kindly said, “Hello”. He replied back, “Hi nice to meet you’.
From that moment I fell in love with him, my mother and father loved him as well. My mother used to say all the time, He is the one! I laughed and did not believe her as I was too young to see and understand. Twenty two years later, I can proudly say, Mother you were right all this time! In less than one year my King, my best friend, my soul mate is going to be my husband……
