One day we walked passed each other and stopped to talk. The first conversation felt genuine, interested, and he was always looking at me. How could I say no? He asked about how things were going and I answered back very decidedly that I was just focusing and trying to improve the best that I can! We talked about what he likes to do, play cricket and how I just spend my weekends at the coffee shop with Mel. Like normal adults talking about how life is right now. Somewhere in this narrative of which we were talking, I liked his life and he liked mine! That’s when in a heavenly and almost impossible way, I knew that I was falling for him and wanted him. I didn’t know how I could have these feelings for someone I just met. My thoughts were I just met you, and I was thinking to myself I need to pray about this and not want to go so fast. But more importantly, I was standing in front of the most amazing man I had ever met. Those kinds of feelings are okay. You’re in love, for me. You’re doubting, wondering, loving, desiring, wanting and receiving (as for me) all at the same time, and it can go differently for every woman, but for me, I had some experiences along the way that taught me love came with doubts. Anyway, where was I, I was experiencing the love of a lifetime. As much as I loved him then, I loved him now even more. My love had now catapulted its way through our small interactions before the note and now we had finished our date. The love I had for him is eternal because throughout all these experiences, I still felt the same. One day I went to see him in his office. Another lady was just leaving. So I walked in. Straight away he said "have a seat." That was the most welcomed and intimate I felt with him... because he made a decision to include me in his life. I felt absolutely wanted, deliberately pursued and wonderfully accepted. Some people looking into this conversation, may say he’s just trying to be nice. But I beg to differ. He didn’t ask the other lady to sit down, he asked me and that makes me feel super special. I loved that about him! We talked maybe ten minutes as I was on my break, and as he was looking in my eyes, and I in his, we clicked. Because we spoke the same language, the same life, we were on the same path and we both said yes! No one can break a connection. How could I want anymore? There’s nothing for me to want. I don't know much about the soul. But I know that that was one of the days that got me saying, gosh, please don’t let him be taken, he’s absolutely wonderful.

a date with robbie

So when she returned to work the next day, Sarah noticed there was a note on her desk, much different than her usual types of notes. Her work friend, Mel, left it she thought, because she always tends to leave these types of notes around for her. You know, the types that go, “have a great day, girl”, or since my last writing entry, at which time Mel said, “You're the best girl, you rock!”… However, this time, it wasn’t just a memo, it was a note from Robbie, a worker on the third floor. He was working in the production department. And he sees all of the written articles so he would have seen mine the other day and now he was leaving me a card. I thought it looked a little different than something Mel would write, although my name was written on the front of the envelope like how Mel usually does it! It read, “I would love to see you, im waiting for your reply,” with his name at the bottom of the card. Everything went down from there. From then, I remember what he looked like but it was vague and none of that even mattered to me! I was in love with that first meeting in receiving this invitation. So I asked one of his coworkers to put a note on his desk, it was my phone number. I said “yes,” from the start! As I was reading his card, I had a huge smile on his face, and my heart was beating a thousand beats per minute. I am going to be the best version of myself but in a natural way, the way I really am naturally! Our first date was absolutely incredible! We went to an italien eatery on the 8th street downtown. He's really everything I would want and more. He's got class (polite, kind, loving), romantic, a great person to talk to and in such a great place in his life. Above all, a really, really nice guy. He opens doors and pulls out chairs for me, tells me to watch my step, I mean such a gentleman. But before I go into all his kind mannerisms, I got to tell you what happened in the office after and before this. Before the note, he would walk by my desk and I would smile back. He’d talk to other ladies around me, wave and say hello as he walked by me! We talked a few times before the card he sent. We talked of my writing and how I am always trying to improve. And in his gentlemanly manor, he says, “you’re doing amazing." I was wondering why is he saying that when all my other colleagues are saying this is garbage pretty much. And I thought, when I read the card, he was just complimenting me to hit on me. Man, I never get these things right away, I'm gullible!!! No wonder I can never get a guy. Oh well, I thought, as I read the card, a least I got him anyway.
