A Love story

As I look up this adorable black man walks by. He's got diamond earings in his ears and an adorable smile. His hair was dreaded and he looked smart. He waves hello to his friend wearing a navy blue pin striped long sleeved dress shirt. I couldn't contain myself. I said to my Kenyan friend that guy is cute. She, being on a mission to find me a man decides that this man was it. She trotted on after him and only moments later i see them looking up at me. I quickly run out of sight but it's too late she's told him and in front of his friend too. I'm so angry with this girl, Irene, yet still I'm intrigued. I peak around the large white Toyota van and am startled by a man standing there. What do i do now? Where do I go now? I can't just leave he's standing right here. I look up at his face and it's somebody completely different. It's his friend, Jimmy, the guy who had lead us in singing that morning. He smiles down at me and says," So your friend Irene told me you think i'm cute? Is that true you think i'm cute?" All I could think at this point is she told the wrong guy. I say,"sure."

He replies with, "Since you think i'm cute i think you're cute also." I look at him and smile. Maybe Irene did tell the right guy. "where are you staying?"

"Love Mercy." I say. A compound near the fireplace. A church where Jimmy leads worship.

"I'll be by tonight to find you, well to find everyone else too but mainly you." He says with a smile on his face. Inside I just want to scream. This is weird this is just so strange. He walks away and we all pile in the vans. I'm thinking there's no way he's coming tonight.

I pray, "Lord your will be done."

Later that evening I'm sitting with Taia my best friend, a growth to my hip :D, when all of a sudden in walks Jimmy. I'm thinking "CRAP NO WAY!" I look at Taia after he shakes my hand.

We run to the bedroom. I couldn't believe he actually came. I didn't know what to do. I took a guess and grabbed the guitar from the living room and sat down in a corner and began worshiping God. I open my eyes to see he's sitting right in front of me with his eyes closed. My heart skips a beat. I close my eyes and continue and the next thing I know I hear a drumming. It sounds good but I stop and look at him in the eyes. I can see his heart. It's right out there. An amazing man sitting right infront of me. Then he says.

"I know Irene was talking to Newton but I needed an excuse to talk to you."

For the next couple days everything was great. He came around alot and one night as he was leaving I walked him to the door and gave him a hug and he kissed my neck and my knees went weak and an old song popped into my head, "I'm weak in the kneees for you..." I understood it finally.

This is the beginning of a great relationship of love.
