He opened his eyes widely and asked, “FOR REAL?”
“Yeah, I wanna go with you,” I said softly.
I know it wasn’t the best choice, having a one night stand; in fact, morally, it’s just plain wrong … but after spending the early evening with him, I knew we were destined to be much more than “wham, bam, thank you, Ma’am.” We had a wonderful time! He was so gentle, so attentive. I know it sounds cliché, but on that night I felt as if we were the only people on earth. We talked about the things we both wanted in our lives. From that moment on, my future was his future … and his future, mine. I knew this was the man that I would spend the rest of my life with. It wasn’t the sex that convinced me … it was much deeper than that. Before this day, we were both lost … and in that room, on that night we found each other. He was my tour guide to a place called Happiness, and I was the part of him he had been looking for. Years later he would tell me that I completed him.
It has been almost eighteen years since that night, and I must say we haven’t had many dull moments. He is now my husband, and I his wife. We have four children, each other, and a love for the Almighty God. HE strengthens and protects us. We’ve had some ups and downs, but who doesn’t? It’s all good, though. We’ve beaten the odds and are still playing the game called life. And together we’re winning.
