Our Love Story ❤️
On a random Saturday afternoon, I was being lazy and absolutely did not feel like cooking. As I was scrolling through Instagram, his food business popped up on my feed. I remember thinking, “Wow, I haven’t had shawarma since I left Nigeria, and I would really love to have some right now.” And, of course, it meant I wouldn’t have to cook. A win-win situation!
My best friend was visiting for the weekend, so we decided to patronize his business and order some food. Fortunately, I wasn’t the one who went to pick it up, because if I had, who knows? We probably wouldn’t be standing here today. But we’ll get to that part later!
Fast-forward a couple of months, and our paths crossed again. This time, at a concert. Our eyes met, we smiled at each other, and then we simply walked away, completely unaware that this wasn’t the first time our lives had crossed paths or that it wouldn’t be the last.
A few months later, I was casually doomscrolling on Instagram when his personal profile appeared in my suggested accounts. Naturally, I clicked on it, looked through his pictures, and thought, “Damn, he’s a fine man!”
Then I noticed that one of my best friends was following him. I immediately texted her, asking, “Who is this, please?”
She replied, “That’s the shawarma guy! Do you want me to hook you up?”
And I said, “YES, PLEASE! I’m very single!”
And, well, the rest is history.
I still remember our very first conversation to this day. From the moment we started talking, I just knew there was something special about him. I knew he was the man for me.
And since then, there has never been a boring day, night, or even minute with him. We’re two peas in a pod, and somehow, even the most ordinary moments become an adventure when we’re together.
Who would have thought that one lazy Saturday afternoon, a craving for Nigerian shawarma, a concert, and a little Instagram stalking would bring us here?
And to think, it all started because I didn’t feel like cooking. ❤️
