Counting Down To Forever
It all started from always seeing her pictures on her cousin’s WhatsApp status, always admiring her without saying anything. Until one day, her cousin posted a picture of her that really caught my attention and I summoned the courage to ask her sister for her number.
Her cousin sent her number and we started talking, met physically and we just grew closer each day. After a few months of talking, going out and vibing together I asked her to be my girlfriend. And fast forward to where we are now…
He was a friend of my sister which I knew existed but we never spoke until my sister told me he asked for my number, to be fair I didn’t think much of it and I was like no problem.
He texted me the same day and we were just vibing and texting from there we started talking daily, calls and texts and it was getting all giddy. Then boom, he gave me a surprise visit to my school...
Few months later he asked me to be his girlfriend and since then it’s been a continuous and beautiful journey.
The first connection.
Seeing each other for the first time.
Starting the beautiful journey together.
He asked, she said YES.
