Meet Melay a.k.a. Meals..
She's the best. Like...she's actually the best thing to happen to me. She LITERALLY changed my life before we even got together. I mean, she introduced me to DREAM which lead me to where I'm at now, I got to meet Jenn & Jon, I found my passion, I've found a second home and a second family and now I've found love and it's all because of her.
Who else takes a bottle to the face while trying to stop me from getting jumped by 30 thugs with meat cleavers and machetes?
Meals did.
I love her for that and for who she is. A goofball who's hella' talented and great at networking. Plus she's cute. She's a dope dancer. She's stylish. She's loyal. She's smart. She's responsible. She's charming. She's a great photographer. She's outgoing. She's passionate. She's popular. She's the best.
The night we made it official was the night she poured her heart out to me. I'm currently going through financial hardships so I wasn't ready at the time to commit myself to a relationship. I shut her down twice before and both times I felt guilty. I'd always leave her hanging after we talked about what was going on between us until I decided to really settle everything. She won me over that night. I let her know how I felt about her and what I was going through with my personal life and she did the same. But the one thing that made me decide that I wanted to be with her was when she told me that she'd be down for me. That she wants to help me overcome what I'm going through and that she'll do anything to make me happy.
She stole my heart.
Before we got together, I was always thinking about what it would be like if we DO get together. What would people say? How long would it last? I don't pay any mind to that anymore. I'm 4 years older than her which made it weird for me but when you have feelings for someone, it doesn't matter. I shave my face all the time just to look young for her! I always liked it when she was around me, it made me feel appreciated. I always thought it was cute when she tried to make me laugh when we're dancing. I'd always ignore her though. I never told anyone that I liked her. In FACT...I kinda' did the opposite, but whatever...
I'm just happy with where we're at now. The timing was great. She inspires me. Her talent, her passion, and all the shit she's gone through. She makes me laugh and smile and I try to do the same but I suck. She waited 2 years to be with me. I think it's worth it. I get mad at her cause I care. I make her jealous cause I think it's cute. I feel like I have to see her when she's in town cause she lives too far. I'll do whatever for her cause she'll do the same.
She's pretty cool, too.
I especially like how she doesn't want us to see each other too much. Why? So we have a healthier relationship. It makes us appreciate the time we spend together even more. It's more mature, especially with what we have. I'm happy and she's happy...let's not ruin it!
(I look UGZ in this picture.)
I remember the first time she told me she liked me. We were texting each other and I said "You're acting like I'm your boyfriend already" and she says "I guess it was a mistake for me to like you" and I was just like *Theron voice* OH, WHAT A BURN. And the first time I turned her down...I told her I liked someone else. HAH. And the second time...I was a jerk. I straight up said we can't be together with no explanation. And I absolutely LOVED how she didn't give up on me, otherwise we wouldn't be together. I love her for that.
So yeah, I love Melay.
Just a little.
I lied. I love her a lot.
