One heart break after another I was absolutely ready to throw in the towel on love. While I was mapping out the plans for my life considering the bad breakup I had just went through meanwhile God had a completely different plan for me. The first time I laid eyes on Ifenna was in a parking lot while I was out in LA summer time of 2017. While I was waiting to get inside the venue, he came through speeding in the parking lot like he was been chased by arm robbers...lol (in my head I was like Jesus!!! have mercy which one be this one).
As I was still waiting to get inside the venue, he finally parked his car, and he started walking toward the venue we both found ourselves staring at each other. Me in my heading saying, tall, handsome, crazy driver, and possibly another heartbreaker; only God knows what he was thinking. We both finally made it inside the venue and the party started, in a blink of an eye Ifenna was on the dance floor show casing his dance skills. Meanwhile me I was there been a security guard watching party wahala as I sipped on my drink. As the night progressed Ifenna and I ended up having a dance. We danced, and danced, and that was it, said our goodbyes and went about our separate ways.
Little did I know that this was not going to be the last time I saw him. As time went on I frequently kept running into him on some weekends I went out and it was literally a hi and bye between the both us. Fast forward to end of 2017, I saw him once again while I was out, and during this time we had more conversation beside our usual hi and bye. We exchanged numbers, and I honestly, I had no plans on entertaining his calls. Considering I was still trying to heal from my previous relationship. I can vividly recall it was the beginning of 2018, on Thursday to be specific I was off from work for the reminder of the week. The funny and crazy part of it all was that I was the one who ended up calling him, to sincerely just ask him what’s spot were popping on that Thursday night, and he used that as an opportunity and offer to take me out, and I reluctantly accepted. Little did I know this was the beginning of the man I will be saying I do to.
It was a Saturday night in Los Angeles, I had gone for a friend’s birthday party in Sunset Blvd, and as I was walking towards the club, I saw this elegant African girl (believe me I could tell & don’t ask me how) wearing a black dress standing by the parking lot exit and as I walked by, said hi and kept pushing because I assumed that she was waiting for someone.
As the night progressed, I was at the dance floor as usual and dancing my butt off as you guys know but turned around to see Emma who was two-stepping right next to me as she asked me to dance with her. During our dancing section Lol, Emma wouldn’t allow me to exhibit all my dancing moves on her, but I enjoyed her company and was hoping to get her number as the night ends, so I was ok doing just whatever she wants. She declined my offer for more drinks and just wanted to dance. After a while, she proceeded to her friends and as the night was over, I finally asked for her number and she said NO! and that she is not interested in dating or getting to know me.
After that night, I continued to run into her in the clubs that I go to for about 4 months and we always end up dancing and saying bye without me having her number or means of communicating with her. Although at the time, I had given up on trying to know her outside the club walls because I had a lot going on with my personal engagements. At a time, I was rooting out the deceitful entities whom had surrounded themselves around me. Fast-forward to December of 2017, I was out again for a Christmas party when I saw Emma but this time something different happened; we exchanged number, had a lot more depth conversation and she accepted a drink from me which made me very happy and also gave me a different kind of focus & enlightenment because I was truly tired of amending things that wasn’t going to work.
At first, I didn’t call her because I truly had a f*cked up sh** happening in my life which my close friends were aware of (Deceitful Entities). After about two weeks, I received a call from Emma asking me if I knew any new spot where she and friend could go to for a dance, at this time, it clicked to me that this will be a good opportunity for me to ask her out and then apologize for my communication absence. I asked her if I could take her out rather than going with her friend and she accepted. That night was at a time one of the happiest moments in my life not knowing that Emma was about to bring me more happy and lively moments. As a good potter that I am, I created something nice with the fine clay that was handed to me…LOL the rest was the story for the gods.
As the days went by, I and Emma continued dating with the intention to see what works for both us not knowing that we were as compatible like the sun and earth. We both enjoyed the same activities such as dancing, hanging with friends, we both are clean freaks (you don’t want to know), and has the same goals about our future. After about 3 months into the relationship, I began to feel very satisfied with everything we were doing including spending most of my time at her place. Emma showered me with so much compassion and love that I knew that she was meant to be the woman of my dream. The closer we got with each other made me realize that there was no better time to ask her to marry me because I was truly ready to settle down and I didn’t want to lose her because I was waiting for a perfect time. Although I was skeptical about proposing and being rejected, on July 8th, 2018, I proposed to Emma asking her to marry me and she said YES!!!. From that day till date, I have been a happier man with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction because of her kind and warmth hearted personality. Emma has brought me an un-imaginable boost that enhances my sense of devotion towards our relationship.
Emma I will give the world to always have you as my kryptonite. I love you my Queen.
