10-11-2014 • Saturday came and I got a call from my girl who said "the guy who's section we were in last night is having a cook out on tomorrow and wants us to come". I say "I don't know this dude. Nah, I'm good".  

10-12-2014 •  It's Sunday and I'm at Phipps doing what I do best...eating and shopping. My girl calls about that cookout again. Of course I blow her off saying I'm busy at the mall and I had no interest in going. But she's persistent and pulls up on me. She says "The guy's name is G and he's throwing this cookout just so that he can meet you". I immediately think she's lying. We were just with this guy and he didn't say a mumbling word to me. She says "I'll drive and we don't have to stay long". So I throw my bags in my trunk. Grab my purse and jump in the truck with her.  We get to the house and I won't lie I'm impressed.  I immediately think this guy is married with kids. ‍‍‍ It's more of a family environment (kids running around) and I have on a little flirty skirt with my tatas out.  So yeah...I'm ready to go. I tell my girl who I'm sure relayed the message because shortly after that, all of the adults proceed to the basement. Gerald finally approaches me, he sits right down beside me and it's as if he's speed dating. He becomes Chatty Charles! He offered me food but at the time I wasn't hungry. I couldn't believe it! He never stopped talking but, neither did I! The conversation flowed. It was as if no one else was in the room. After hours of talking my stomach is growling and I ask for that plate. Some random guy (Kanu) comes back with just a plate of rice!  He explains that the food is gone and I waited too late. (Now I know better). Gerald is the perfect gentleman, he offers to take me to eat. It's late (around 10pm) so I tell him I'll just grab something on my way home but he insists. In my mind I'm wondering how is he gonna leave all of these people and take me to eat. Moments later there are 3-4 ubers outside and we are off to a lounge called Josephines. We order food, more drinks, take photos and are "boo'ed up" as if we're together. Can you say LOVE IN THE CLUB! It's time to go and I'm looking for my girl when Gerald tells me that she's left with some guy! WTF!!! I start blowing her phone up and it's going straight to voicemail. Gerald says "she told me her phone was dead and to call her on the guys phone"️. I try his phone and it's going to VM as well. Now I'm worried about my friend. What if she been kidnapped (I always assume the worst).

Then reality sinks in, my big purse with my keys are in her car that's at Gerald's house. The only thing that I have is my wallet. Even if I wanted to uber home I can't. My car is still at the mall and I have no keys! we are back at his house and of course he's telling me to stay, it's ok. She will probably be back shortly. It's around 3am and I don't want to call my parents this late.  So, I'm stuck spending the night at this new guys house. After a long night of drinking I tend to get the bubble guts . I'm blowing my girl up because I do not want to blow this guys bathroom up.  I mean what would he think of me? She's still not answering but my stomach is. Soooo I do the unimaginable! I mark my territory! WHY IS THE HOUSE SO QUIET! OMG! It was the loudest sh*t in the history of all sh*ts! I clinched my butt to soften the blow but fate would have it no other way but to embarrass me. To make matters worse, when I walked out of the restroom he asked me if I was ok!  Just kill me already. Guess who finally calls around 7am... My girl! I knew for sure Gerald wouldn't call me again but I was wrong and a week later we had our 1st date at .

We've been inseparable every since.
